Alpha Black

Welcome to The Alpha Black Podcast, I am your host Ulysses “Butch” Slaughter.  In this episode, I'm going to bring you into the crucial conflict focused on my effort to have a Pennsylvania courthouse renamed for a Black boy named Alexander McClay Williams. In June 1931, Williams was executed by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania after he was falsely accused of stabbing a white woman at The Glen Mills School in Glen Mills Pennsylvania. Though Williams was exonerated of this crime in June 2022, I believe - like so many others - that his exoneration is not enough to honor his name. On behalf of a national justice alliance, I petitioned Delaware County Council in Media, Pennsylvania, to rename the juvenile courthouse which is currently named for the judge who sentenced Alexander to death. That man's name is W. Roger Fronefield.  With blessings from some of Alexander's family - including his 93-year-old sister - I set out with the alliance to make this historic name change a reality. There is no courthouse in The United States of America named for a Black boy.  On June 21, 2023, a group of protestors including a man named Sam Lemon went into the chambers of Delaware County Council and attempted to scandalize my name and the efforts of  our national alliance. Joined by some members from Alexander's family, Lemon led the cry that his great-grandfather's name should be on the juvenile courthouse. Lemon's great-grandfather, registered as the first Black attorney in Delaware County, attempted to represent Alexander McClay Williams before the state put the boy to death in 1931. 

Sometimes life's hates and troubles can make you wish you were born in another time and place." Those are the words of the immortal Stevie Wonder from a song called As. I listened to this song hundreds of times in my youth and it became critical to my development as a Black Man. You belong, Black Man, exactly where you were placed by God.

Ulysses "Butch" Slaughter presents an An Alpha Black Special presentation. From his new podcast One Black Taste, this is Hungry White Women, the first episode of this exciting series. In August 2013 Ulysses “Butch” Slaughter entered the sexual wellness community OneTaste to design and direct The OneTaste Orgasmic Meditation Reconciliation Council. In September 2016 - convinced the corporation was on a chaotic and catastrophic course - he resigned from OneTaste. The most influential Black member of the controversial intimacy community, Ulysses was regarded by some as more powerful than the company's founder, Nicole Daedone. Like a priest he held confession sessions for the most senior leaders and community newcomers alike. His presence changed and challenged the company's controversial culture, putting him at odds with many managers and clients as well. More than a reflection of his time at OneTaste, One Black Taste is an exploration through Black experiences and into the dark sexual histories of politics, religion, business, science and medicine.

Fred Hampton was just 21 years old when US government forces assassinated him in his bed. Fearless in his fight for Black people and all working people, Hampton was viewed as a rising “messiah” the likes of Malcolm and Martin and he had to be stopped in his tracks. But as he said so poetically “you can kill a revolutionary but you can't kill the revolution.” In this segment, Ulysses carries the revolution forward.

Who owns the voices inside of your head? Each and every waking and sleeping moment of your life, the voices inside of your head are giving directions about who you are, where you've come from, where you're going and why you even exist. Where did these voices come from? Who owns these voices? The short answer is that you own these voices. And even when you don't like them, they are yours. You might even protect these voices regardless of whether or not they are good for you. You can change the voices through persistent practice. You can predict your own future through practice.

Why Our Children Hate Us is my second book co-authored by my friend and Brother Eric K. Grimes. In this podcast, I discuss how Black adults looked on helplessly as a little Black boy is harassed by NYC police officers for selling candy on a train. In the book Why Our Children Hate Us, I wrote an essay about how a flock of geese once came to the defense of a gosling my little daughter was trying to pet. Though she didn't mean any harm, the geese didn't care. They wanted to protect their baby. On the train in NYC, the cowardly Black adults whined and called the cops "niggas." That was their best defense...? Yep. See the video here. https://thegrio.com/2020/04/14/cops-seize-boy-selling-snacks/

Philadelphia MOVE Apology Eleven Black men, women and children were killed after a Philadelphia police officer was told to drop a bomb on their West Philadelphia home on May 13, 1985. These men, women and children were members or related to members of a unique social organization called MOVE. My name is Ulysses "Butch" Slaughter. I am a reconciliation expert and host of the podcast Alpha Black. For nearly two years, I have worked with MOVE family members, social justice advocates, former and current elected officials, former and current media agents and former and current emergency management agents in The City of Philadelphia in the interest of remembering this tragedy with an official public apology from The City of Philadelphia. It is now April 2020, almost 35 years since the bombing and killing of the 11 MOVE relatives. The bomb that led to the deaths of 11 MOVE family members also devastated the lives of neighbors who watched the gruesome attack. The bomb that led to the deaths of 11 family members also devastated the lives of innocent police and firefighters who were charged guilty by association with their rogue colleagues. The bomb that led to the deaths of 11 MOVE family members devastated elected officials, community organizers and the children who watched a raging inferno destroy more an entire city block with 61 homes. On May 13, 1985, city officials approached the MOVE home to deliver arrest warrants. Instead of issuing arrest warrants, these city officials delivered 10,000 rounds of gunfire, Tovex explosives, C4 bombs and absolute horror. And the pain hasn't ended. The pain continues. This is why I stand with a countless and growing number of people around the world calling for an official MOVE apology from the City of Philadelphia to the City of Philadelphia. No current crisis should silence or eliminate the need to apologize for the horrible acts we have committed against one another in the past. Please sign and share the petition for a public apology from the City of Philadelphia to the City of Philadelphia for the MOVE tragedy. Thank you.
