Hi my name is Maria Teresa Kumar im so happy to be here with Zerlina Maxwell and im honored to discuss your book the end of white politics. This book challenges what we expect is a status quo for the Democratic Party and as we are trying to read into the tea leaves of 2020 it couldnt have come at a better time. This is a critique that is challenged in america right now but we also understand that it is imperative that people take your book too hard and look at it as an opportunity to change the game come this election. With that i would love to recognize the wonderful work you have done as a doctor and an activist and as a political operative yourself. You believe its going to come of the book video friedan provided the political politics. Welcome. Guest thank you so much.
