What are we actually leaving behind for the generation coming after us?

Carter Young opens with the allegations surrounding the “Cornell 7” and the larger questions about institutional accountability, due process, social media, and what happens when protecting people potentially conflicts with protecting an institution.

Then it's into the culture.

Quavo and Offset reconnect. Nas helps bring Beat Street to Broadway. Hip-hop goes from something America once dismissed to something institutions now preserve, teach, celebrate—and profit from.

That leads to a bigger conversation about the difference between Black history and Black heritage. Black culture isn't simply something that existed in the past. It's alive, evolving, and being passed from one generation to the next.

But who owns that heritage? Who gets to preserve it? Who profits from it? And as AI learns from generations of human music and creativity, what happens when technology can recreate pieces of a culture it didn't create?

Carter also looks at the disconnect between the economic numbers and how everyday Americans actually feel about their finances.

Different stories. One question:

What did we inherit—and what are we leaving behind?
