Tariq Trotter on 'Black No More' - a podcast by WNYC

"Black No More" is a new musical based on George S. Schuyler’s 1931 satirical novel, about a machine that allows Black people to become white. In the musical, the machine's nefarious inventor, and the show's de facto narrator, is Dr. Junius Crookman, played by Tariq Trotter, otherwise known as The Roots' emcee Black Thought. In addition to starring, Trotter wrote the show's lyrics and co-wrote its music. He joins us to discuss the show, which is running at the Pershing Square Signature Center through February 27.
