Lee is a highly decorated journalist and literary activist whose career continues to soar as he tackles the complexities of race, violence, law enforcement and politics through thoughtful reporting. He has spent well over a decade at the forefront of some of Black America’s most triumphant, gut-wrenching and defining moments.
