Melvin Rogers and Jack Turner are the editors of African American Political Thought: A Collected History , a major new anthology of essays on key thinkers of the African American political tradition. Tom and Sarah talk to Rogers and Turner about why American political thought is essentially bound up with African American political thought; about the politics of forming and reforming canons; and about David Walker's Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World and Audre Lord on the master's tools and the master's house. We also talked about how to bring texts of the African American tradition into general education and Rogers and Turner recommended texts for us to read with our students.[African-American Political Thought: A Collected History](https://www.amazon.com/African-American-Political-Thought-Collected/dp/022672591X/ref=sr11?dchild=1&keywords=melvin+rogers&qid=1623271190&sr=8-1) (Chicago, 2021).Melvin Rogers's website.
