W. KAMAU BELL United Shades of America "Special-New-Episodes-Earlier-Showing-Season-Series-Finally" *updatez* [Sundaze]

8/30 - 6 & 7PM & Replays 9 &10PM PT "Not the 'feel good' episodes"  - \/\/ally (eldest brother on Leave It To Beaver TV sho-)
.
"How do you start the difficult conversations needed right now? W. Kamau Bell leads the way on an all-new season.
United Shades of America always make space for difficult conversations. This season it's more important than ever." - \/\/illy "Ride Willy Ride" - Carl Memling/John Mardon (beginning to read book)
.
"1st we're in NYC & then we're headed to LA.
Before the Coronavirus pandemic there was already an epidemic of people wo places to live. This episode was recorded in L.A. on Skid Row, last fall, & the pandemic has only made this epidemic worse.
It is a strange time to be promoting things, but these are two powerful episodes IMHO." - \/\/ilbur (human owner of Mr. Ed, TV sho-)

(2) United Shades of America "back-to-back episodes"

 6:00 PM & Replay 9:00 PM PT
Iranian-Americans in NY New 

Kamau visits New York City to talk to recent Iranian immigrants & those who came here decades ago, to learn about their American experience.

*Within the conventional American imagination, Iran is too often associated w/ little that is good: the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Iran hostage crisis, & its nuclear program. But the U.S. & Iran are as connected as they are oppositional.*

 7:00 PM & Replay 10:00 PM PT

The Homeless Crisis in LA New

Kamau spends time on LA's notorious Skid Row. This area of downtown LA is the epicenter of the nation's devastating housing crisis. Here, Kamau explores the racial, socio-economic & statistical dynamics that drive this national crisis.

*DTLA's shameful historic large area, home to a community of thousands of homeless individuals whose tents have become the marker of failed policy.*
