Black English: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Standard English vs. Nonstandard English and its misappropriation

Season 1, Episode #20 August 27, 2022

In this 30-minute episode, Keith and Pam discuss how they grew up speaking American Standard English, how the term “woke” has been misappropriated by the right-wing, and the upcoming AAVE (African American Vernacular English) dictionary being written for the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), with editor-in-chief Dr. Henry Louis Gates.
