Ta Nehisi Coates has a new article out in The Atlantic October 2017. It's online. [View all]

That man is a very gifted writer, essayist & thinker. Donald Trump Is the First White President is the name of the article.
He had an interview w/ Rachel Martin on NPRs Morning Edition today that I found sad& hard to listen to, it's also online now.
