The recent controversy over race and the NBA--it got a team owner banned for life--reminded us that the issue of race always simmers, never cools. 

And notice: African-American men get much of the attention. 

That is one of the main points of Michigan State professor Kristie Dotson.

She comes to Southern Oregon University this week as part of the exploration of the campus theme of race.

Dotson posits that US Black women and girls are largely unknowable. 

We'll explore her position in an extended chat on race in America.
