A Conversation with Bakari Sellers - a podcast by LBJ Foundation

Bakari Sellers became the youngest African American elected official in the country in 2007, when he was sworn into the South Carolina legislature at age 22. Currently a contributor to CNN, he talks about his new book, "My Vanishing Country: A Memoir," which looks at the rural black America in which he grew up and how it has changed adversely over time, as he recounts his own life and his quest for racial equity. He also offers his perspective about the challenges our nation faces on race in the wake of national uprisings around the murder of George Floyd.

Signed copies of "My Vanishing Country" are available to purchase from The Store at LBJ.
