Black history is being banned in Florida and excluded from the College Board’s recommended AP Black Studies course. On this week’s episode of Start Making Sense, UCLA professor Robin Kelley comments. He’s one of the historians whose work has been targeted.

Also on this episode: The Royal Family and The Crown—you know, Queen Elizabeth, Charles and Diana, and the Netflix series about them. Gary Younge explains why he loathes the monarchy in Britain, but loved The Crown.
