In the third installment of our series Living at Odds, How To!’s Courtney Martin examines what it’s like being in conflict with your family history. She talks with <a href="https://www.plessyandferguson.org/mission">ancestors</a> of the famous names in Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court decision that affirmed racial segregation in the U.S. as “separate but equal.” Later, researcher <a href="https://www.reparativegenealogy.com/">Kellie Farrish</a> explains how reparative genealogy can unlock family history that’s been lost or erased—and bring together descendants of enslaved people and their enslavers into conversations about the past, present, and future.If you’re enjoying Living at Odds, check out this How To! episode: <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2024/04/how-to-do-the-work-of-racial-justice">How To ‘Do the Work’ of Racial Justice</a>. Do you have a problem that needs solving?
