Marc Lamont Hill is a scholar, author, and a man of many suits. Sam, Alex, and Marc take a look back at 1984. A year full of political shifts. Jessie Jackson made his first run for president of the United States, and Bill Cosby had our hearts. If you’re interested in the rise of crack cocaine and the fall of Black Santa Claus, then this is the episode for you.
