Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein explains how Sankofa, the idea of going back and getting what we’ve forgotten, connects to cosmology, Black history, and the origins of the universe.

It’s a concept she explores in her new book, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie, available now: bookshop.org/a/85756/9780593701690

More from our conversation with Chanda is coming soon in a podcast episode.
