Hylton is that there's no reason for it to exist other than it's great. There's no peg, nobody's selling anything. It's just a conversation about one phenomenal American's life.Paul Coates is best known now for being the father of Ta-Nehisi, the most influential writer in the country, but his own story deserves telling. The poverty he endured in his youth. The danger he faced as a leader in the Black Panther Party. The hope he offered the imprisoned and the poor. The books he brought back from the dead. You're going to want to read about all of that, plus his unique perspective on the mess we currently find ourselves in. Chances are you'll probably fall in love with him a little, too.Best,Greg
