Black Native Americans work to reclaim their identity

The Creek Nation recognized Black people as full citizens until that ruling was revoked in the 1970s. Caleb Gayle is a journalist and professor at Northeastern University. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the struggle for Black Creeks to regain tribal recognition, how the government was involved, and how Black Creeks see themselves today. His book is “We Refuse to Forget: A True Story of Black Creeks, American Identity, and Power.”
