Professor of History
I grew up in southern Maryland and after a divinity degree at Harvard and a PhD at the University of Virginia I became a historian of United States slavery and racial economic inequality. My latest book is The Plunder of Black America: How the Racial Wealth Gap Was Made, published this year.
In this episode, Historian Calvin Schermerhorn discusses his recent book, The Plunder of Black America, and the significance of the racial wealth gap.
