Episode 530: Vann R. Newkirk II

Vann Newkirk II is a senior editor at The Atlantic and the host of Floodlines: The Story of an Unnatural Disaster. His new podcast is Holy Week: The Story of a Revolution Undone. “I’m often toggling between environmental justice, between the history of race and racial organization in America. And to me, they’re all one story, and I’m trying to tell the story about how the conditions of marginalization in America have made and shaped the present. That’s it. That’s one story.” Show notes: Newkirk II on Longform Newkirk II’s Atlantic archive 04:00 Floodlines  (The Atlantic • 2020) 08:00 “The New Coretta Scott King: Emerging From the Legacy”  (Jaqueline Trescott • The Washington Post • Jan 1978) 17:00 “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” transcript  (Martin Luther King Jr. • April 1968) 42:00 “The Battle for North Carolina”  (The Atlantic • Oct 2016) 43:00 “Puerto Rico’s Environmental Catastrophe”  (The Atlantic • Oct 2017) 53:00 “The Case for a Voting-Rights Amendment”  (The Atlantic • Feb 2021) 53:00 “The Great Land Robbery”  (The Atlantic • Sept 2019) 53:00 “Texas Voter-Fraud Claims Don’t Have to Be True to Achieve Their Goal”  (The Atlantic • Feb 2019) Learn more about your ad choices.
