“How to Survive America”: D.L. Hughley’s timely guide to help navigate America while BlackJuneteenth may now be a federal holiday, but it’s still hard being Black in America. Actor, Comedian, and activist D.L. Hughley lays out the vast landscape of inequities facing people of color in his new book “How to Survive America.” It’s a timely guide to help navigate our modern world.
