Here is a daring (not morbid) conversation about death. I am being interviewed by none other than Tavis Smiley on his podcast show.

Here is my very different take on the horrific murders in Buffalo. My take refuses to make this into a narrow case of white supremacist hated. The core problem is far more common. Peace as we all mourn together. truthout.org/articles/innoc…

Here is a portrait mural of me done by an 'Unknown Artist' on a wall in Denver, Colorado, which says on it, 'I Am George Yancy.' I had no knowledge that this existed until recently. I was humbled and in a state of disbelief. Photo cred to Peter Kowalchuk (IG @peterkowalchuk1228)

Thrilled by the editing work of Kimberley Ducey, Joe Feagin, and Clevis Headley on the forthcoming book 'George Yancy: A Critical Introduction,' foreword by Judith Butler

Having an edited book of critical essays on one's work as a Black philosopher is rare. I am honored.

While Biden truthfully spoke about “the sting of white supremacy,” and recognized publicly Black suffering in America, we must be careful not to assume that 400 years of anti-Black racism will end in four or eight years. truthout.org/articles/lets-…

What if I told you that as a black man living in white America I feel as if I am already dead?

My interview with philosopher Judith Butler is one of the best conversations I've had. In the interview, Butler courageously names our collective reality living under COVID-19: bit.ly/2A9khPD
