Best Of: Actor Leslie Uggams / Martha's Vineyard's Indigenous Past & Present

This episode of Fresh Air Weekend features two interviews: the first with actress and singer Leslie Uggams, discussing her extensive career from childhood performances at the Apollo to roles in "Roots," "Deadpool," and "The Gilded Age," and her experiences with race and class in the entertainment industry. The second interview is with journalist Joseph Lee, who discusses his book "Nothing More of This Land," exploring his identity as a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe on Martha's Vineyard, the challenges of balancing Indigenous identity with tourism, and broader issues of Indigenous identity through conversations with other tribes and at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The episode also includes a review of new music by HAIM and Addison Rae, focusing on themes of emotional passive resistance.
