How HBCUs Shape American Politics

Shaniqua McClendon interviews Rep. James Clyburn, Rep. Alma Adams, and Rep. Cori Bush, to hear about how their experiences as students of HBCUs have impacted their careers and shaped their perspectives. Then they discuss whether they think our culture is starting to reward political figures who embrace the diversity of who they are.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
