On the eve of Georgia's runoff election for a U.S. Senate seat, voters have two choices: Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. They both fit stereotypes often assigned to Black men and yet they couldn't be more different.

Join Professor of the History of Race and DEI Specialist, Cord J. Whitaker, and Executive Coach and expert in Masculinity, Dan Mahle, to discuss how we got here, what it means for Black American men, and how a situation like this can be used to help shape a more racially equitable future.
