Carmelo Anthony, Kaepernick's Legacy, Ruth Orkin Exhibit, 'The Get Out', 'BlackBerry Jams'

Carmelo Anthony, ten-time NBA All-Star currently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and formerly of the New York Knicks, joins us to discuss his new memoir, Where Tomorrows Aren't Promised: A Memoir of Survival and Hope. Five years ago, Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the National Anthem to protest police brutality, sparking nationwide support, outrage, and effectively stalling his NFL career. This moment was a turning point in protest and resistance in professional sports. Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation and author of the new book, The Kaepernick Effect: Taking a Knee, Changing the World, joins us to reflect on how Kaepernick has changed activism in sports. A new exhibit at Fotografiska highlights the work of groundbreaking photographer and photojournalist Ruth Orkin. Orkin’s daughter and director of her archive, Mary Engel, and Amanda Hajjar, director of exhibitions at Fotografiska, join us to discuss the exhibition "Expressions of Life," which opened on September 3. Jay Vanasco, WNYC/Gothamist news and culture editor, joins us to discuss things to do this weekend in New York City as part of our ongoing series, "The Get Out." A new podcast, BlackBerry Jams, explores what it means to be a black fan navigating the predominantly white jam band scene. Co-hosts Lenny Duncan and Leslie Mac join to discuss the intersection of jam band culture and black liberation.
