In this broadcast, Craig Steven Wilder, professor of history at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, talks about his book "Ebony & Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America's Universities," about the relationship between slavery and U.S. academia. The slave economy and higher education grew up together, each nurturing the other. Slavery funded colleges, built campuses, and paid the wages of professors. Hosted and produced by Michael Slate.
