Many congressional staffers and workers on Capitol Hill have argued that, regardless of the party in power, the institution hasn't evolved much on diversity in the workplace. And that means African Americans are frequently underrepresented in high level jobs, and can often be targets of racism and abuse during their work. On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by Dr. James R. Jones, the author of The Last Plantation: Racism and Resistance in the Halls of Congress. The two discuss bias and inequality among the workers on Capitol Hill, and what that says about Congress's ability to represent an increasingly diverse nation. Guest: Dr. James R. Jones, professor and author of The Last Plantation. Podcast production by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola Want more A Word?
