The white nationalist ideas of Madison Grant influenced Congress in the 1920s, leaders in Nazi Germany, and members of the Trump administration. This week, we share an episode we loved from <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510317/its-been-a-minute-with-sam-sanders">It's Been A Minute with Sam Sanders</a> that explores a throughline of white nationalism in American politics from the early 20th century to today.
