In this episode, Global Take Podcast host, Alexanderia Haidara, catches up with Carnegie Endowment Fellow. Dr. Christopher Shell on his recent research exploring Black American views on various U.S. foreign policy issues from Ukraine, the Israel and Hamas War, and the Chicago migrant crisis. In his article, "How views on Race Relations Shape African-Americans perspective U.S. Foreign Policy Preferences,” he stated that  "numerous African American intellectuals and grassroots organizers—most notably W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Martin Luther King, Jr., to name a few—grappled with whether or not to cosign aspects of the Cold War agenda (such as anti-communism and the policy of containment) while the full rights of citizenship were denied to the majority of African Americans living under Jim Crow rule. Is this still true today? What is the historical relationship that Black Americans have had with US foreign policy on the Vietnam War, Cold War, and apartheid South Africa? We discuss these issues and more on Global Take Podcast.
