We revisit Amy Beth's conversation with  racial justice advocate Deepa Iyer, author of We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim And Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multicultural 

How do we combat xenophobia, irrational fear and hate as our society continues to weave a more colorful and complicated American mosaic? In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and recent attacks and the incendiary campaign rhetoric of Donald Trump  immigrants and American minorities have been targeted, harassed and attacked at alarming rates. Reframing the discussion of race in America, Iyer raises questions about the state’s role in perpetuating racism and domestic terrorism.

And the usual hoopla: free flow Pop Culture convo, Inspiration to Action shout-outs, humor, music and more.  Tweet 24/7 @abwrites #BigStory #Forgotten45s
