Ta-Nehisi Coates on magazines and diversity

For some time I’ve been meaning to link to this typically excellent post by Ta-Nehisi Coates, a young(er) black journalist whose work I’ve admired for years now, most of which I’ve encountered in that venerable but persistently vital organ, The Atlantic. In this job I read a lot about race in America, and I think Coates’s recent work is about as thoughtful and honest as it gets.
