Glenda Gilmore grew up in Greensboro during the Civil Rights movement. But her wake-up call about race in America didn’t come until much later in her life. She was teaching American History in a predominantly black classroom when she realized she was the one who needed an education-- everything she thought she knew was colored by white supremacy. Host Frank Stasio speaks to Glenda about her North Carolina roots and her current career researching gender and race in the American South as the Peter V. and C. Vann Woodward Professor of History at Yale University.
