Shownotes Transcript

This episode is a summary of the media discussed in the next episode. Sammy Davis Jr., a famed member of Sinatra's 'Rat Pack', was a black icon. History has judged him unfaithful to the black community due to his support for Richard Nixon. In this work, Malcolm Gladwell makes the case to revise and restructure our understanding of Sammy's life and his place in the world. In this week's episode, we discuss the pressure of being a 'token', privilege, and Richard Nixon. The work is a 2018 episode of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast, Revisionist History.
