Earlier this summer, Harry Kiiru, Ph.D. candidate in African Cultural Studies at UW-Madison, was featured in the PBS documentary Why Race Matters.
In the episode, Harry discusses identity, history, and belonging within the Black community with host Angela Fitzgerald and guest speaker Naman Siad. Drawing from his research on Sub-Saharan African immigrants in the United States, Harry highlights how Blackness, Africanness, and migration intersect to shape cultural transformation and racial identity in the American context.
