Lindsay Beyerstein interviews Ta-Nehisi Coates in Point of Inquiry:
Coates joins Lindsay Beyerstein to discuss the heightening racial tension in America, the result of what he describes as a country built on black bodies and black suffering.

He also considers how his atheism has influenced his own thinking about civil rights, justice, and forgiveness.
