Charlayne Hunter-Gault is a longtime journalist who worked as a reporter for The New York Times, PBS, NPR and CNN. She was one of the first Black journalists to hold high-profile positions in major newsrooms, paving the way for the next generation of journalists of color.

And before she even started her journalism career, she was already in the history books. She was one of two Black students who desegregated the University of Georgia in 1961.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, listen to a rebroadcast of a conversation MPR News host Angela Davis had earlier this year with Hunter-Gault about her latest book, “My People: Five Decades of Writing About Black Lives.”
