The 400 years are over. Hosted by Robert McDonald Jr, 1619 Radio is a testament to the trials and tribulations the original people of color have endured since the start of African colonization. This is an ode to Black Nationalism. An instrument for Black Liberation. 1619 Radio will be a rollercoaster of a show. We'll be discussing a wide range of topics relating to the Black community which will make you smile, laugh, cry, mad, and definitely very uncomfortable. If America is burning, let us sit around it and warm our hands for it's been cold to us for far too long.

    This ain’t season 1 or season 2, this is just something I needed to do because I was told to. A lot’s been going on, you know it. We gotta make sure we’re grounded and protected. Find your purpose and your why. The 400 years are over. Most of us have been living in hell when we have every opportunity to live in heaven. Are you ready to live? Are you ready to wake up? I’ll be back again in due time. So until we meet again, love.

    The Black American has endured over 400 years of slavery, oppression, and subjugation. A race of people raped and murdered for the color of their skin and the history behind it. We've marched, voted, lobbied and petitioned, but to no avail. We've become a laughing stock of the country and of the world. The Black Revolution (if it could even be considered that) is no revolution at all. Never in the history of rebellion has a people fought back against their oppressors via nonviolent means. The Black Revolution is the first. Which is why it's taking so long for us to find freedom. Through recent events, nationwide protests and the responses to them, a question has popped into my head: Where do we go from here?

    What to the slave is the 4th of July? Though no longer slaves (in the traditional sense), it is still a day that reveals to the Black "American" more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which we are the constant victim. Join Robert as he takes a trip to the past horrors of America on the Black Man and Women. Using the Declaration of Independence, quotes from the US Founding Fathers, poems from famous Black authors, military statistics and personal anecdotes, Robert conveys to the listeners why in his heart, he can't possibly celebrate the country that is America.

    "This could be the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you." Drawing you in with such a powerful opening, keeping you with his emotion and poetic wordplay, Robert makes you believe that change can and will come. Promising uncomfortably (which they say is the catalyst to growth), "1619 Radio" foretells of a great and promising podcast which will surely open the minds of all it's listeners and provoke action towards peace and equality.
