Podcasts about 13th amendment

January 31 marks a pivotal moment in American history—the passing of the 13th Amendment in 1865, which abolished slavery. But freedom was more than a legal decree; it became a living story told through the rhythms of the blues, the wisdom of Black folklore, and the resilience of Afro-Indigenous traditions. On this episode, we explore how the fight for liberation shaped cultural expressions that endure today. Discover the powerful connections between Black American folklore, the birth of the blues, and the often-overlooked histories of Afro-Indigenous communities. From the trickster tales of Br'er Rabbit to the haunting melodies of the Delta blues, this is a story of survival, resistance, and the unbreakable spirit of a people who turned struggle into song. Join us as we honor the roots, the rhythms, and the resistance woven into the fabric of Black history.

They discuss societal views on race, black identity, the diaspora, and the perception of blackness in American politics.

The hosts also touch upon related issues like the credibility of convicts working in civil services post-incarceration, especially in fire fighting. They critique the sensationalist political climate, the hypocrisy in American judgment toward sexuality, and the influence of elite benefactors in politics. The episode also addresses the handling of black opinions on social media and the broader impact of political rhetoric on societal behavior. Near the end, John X shares a personal health update, highlighting his recovery journey and future plans for more health-focused content.

Johnny Perez worked hard throughout his 13 year prison sentence. He sewed sheets and facilitated classes, met demanding quotas and helped other men prepare for life on the outside. The highest wage he was ever paid was 34 cents an hour. Meanwhile, prison labor generated $14 billion last year.  So why do so many people like Johnny leave prison empty handed? In this Season Two finale, we're going back to 1865, to understand how a key exception written into the 13th Amendment paved the way for the modern prison industry. From convict leasing to prison plantations, exploited labor is part of the DNA of this country, and more than two-thirds of people behind bars in America labor throughout their incarceration. Their average day wage? Just 86 cents.  But: there's a growing movement to end the exception, and end slavery once and for all in this country. Learn more about the movement to End the Exception here, and be sure to check out Worth Rises' incredible study on prison labor, and UNICOR's phone bank video.

The American Civil War wasn't just a military conflict. There was also a major political and legal struggle that took place alongside the military campaigns.  In the last months of the war, President Abraham Lincoln knew that if the war was to truly be the end of the conflict, it was necessary to ban slavery once and for all.  That would require changing the constitution.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Tanawah M. Downing to the podcast. Tanawah is a Chief Legal Strategist and Civil Rights Advocate. Being aware of people suffering and in need of help, Tanawah, after going through a divorce himself, recognized the need for laws to change. It has been eight years since he as seen or spoken to his children.   We talked about the deprivation of rights under the color of law of parents.  The 13th Amendment explains very much what is wrong with the law in that the terms "slavery" and "prisoner" is synonymous with each other.  Parents are deprived of their rights every day by not only CPS but Judges as well.      The We Shall Be Free Tour will begin once the case is docketed. However, the clerk of court at the U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to docket. This is obstruction of justice and a crime. The people in the U.S. need to hear the truth and understand that these are rights that are guaranteed and the moment you take a right from one, you take it from all and no longer a freedom. But only an illusion of freedom.     Tanawah explained how this will be handled. When people are silent, they give their consent. People must speak up and speak out. When government is silent that is an indication of guilt. Once the clerk steps aside, this will be handed to the justices, the tour will be started. There will be press conferences  and rallies in every state Capitol and the tour will circle the whole country. This is the opportunity for people to tell their story.  People need to speak out on the egregious acts that were done to them and this gives them the opportunity to be heard. To Reach Tanawah M.

On this day is 1865 the 13th amendment was passed, abolishing slavery in America. 

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States, but controversy remains over the loophole in the amendment that says that prisoners can be forced to work. Center for Civic Education

The 13th Amendment of the US Constitution makes an exception to the abolition of slavery in order to permit the use of "involuntary servitude" as punishment for a crime. The modern system of mass incarceration depends on this exception to justify paying millions of incarcerated people subminimum wages that many advocates say is virtually indistinguishable from forms of slavery. Various US states also have their own constitutional "exception clauses" that mirror the language of the 13th Amendment, providing an additional layer of legal justification for the exploitation of prisoners. Jeronimo Aguilar and John Cannon of the organizations Prisoners with Children—All of Us or None join Rattling the Bars to discuss the years-long campaign to eliminate the exception clauses in California.Studio Production: Cameron GranadinoPost Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-rtbSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-rtbLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

We wrap up the year for our final live episode of 2023. We'll do a year in review, count our accomplishments, and look toward the New Breed with the class of 2024. The 16 states + DC who are set to shake the nation even more than we did in 2020, 2022, and 2023. We want you to call in and join us (515) 605-9814. Tell us about your favorite episodes and tracks. Let's talk about the work and how far we've come in so little time. How far we've got to go. Of course there's gonna be blazing hot music, amazing spoken word, and eye opening speeches. We're taking out the year with a big bang and a deep bow.  Be sure to tune in and call in for this powerful evening with Yusuf & Max!

If we had a nickle for every time someone told us that no one would argue in favor of slavery today, we'd be half rich. Good people often make the mistake of believing that if "you" can't think like that no-one else would either. Nah bruh. Let us tell you something. On this front line we've heard pro-slavery arguments from state reps and influencers all across this country. In Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, Vermont, New jersey, Oregon, California, and more. We're talking unbudging, shameless, hard core, feet planted firmly, arguments of all sorts. With nary a care that it was all said out loud in public. We've heard it and counter-argued in person as public testimony. We've heard it on zoom meetings of official congressional and senate hearings, and we've heard it from people with mass media platforms that reach millions. As a matter of fact, for this Sunday's episode of Abolition Today  we will present the 2023 pro-slavery perspective. Because there is one and it's hella loud and hella influential. The next time you hear someone say nobody would argue in favor of keeping slavery legal, tell them Abolition Today said YES, they have, and they will.  

We are joined by New Hampshire activist, abolitionist, and Organizer Ophelia Healing Justice and N.H. State Representative Amanda Bouldin. Ophelia and Amanda represent the grass roots organizing and legislative efforts behind New Hampshire's push to create a constitutional amendment officially abolishing slavery in the state for the first time. It is said that N.H. abolished slavery in 1857. We'll show how that is not true at all. We've got the receipts. As always, we will tie it all together with great music, spoken word, and bring the voices of the abolitionist ancestors back to life for a new generation.

In honor of the passing of John Knippel, treasurer of No Exceptions North Carolina, and his slavery abolitionist legacy, we will rebroadcast this episode where Max, Yusuf, and John were together in the Paul Cuffee Abolitionist Center, Sumter, SC.   We dug deeply into the term and practice of involuntary servitude. What it is, how it works, who it applies to, why it's even legal, and how it's simultaneously ILLEGAL for every other nation in the world except the US. We were joined by slavery abolitionist Samual Nathaniel Brown. Original author of the California abolition act which he wrote while incarcerated. He's one of the lead advocates for ACA8. The 2023 California Abolition Act.  California and North Carolina are the only two states that abolished slavery in their state constitution but added an exception to protect the practice of involuntary servitude.  As always we ask why, then provide real answers.

Yusuf, Max, and the ASNN Aboluminati are live on location from DC after the 52nd annual Congressional Black Caucus convention. We'll talk about our experiences with legislators in our efforts to amplify the slavery abolition movement and to garner legislative support for a momentous year in 2024. We'll be introducing 16 slavery abolition bills from 16 states to change 16 constitutions. All while support grows for the Abolition Amendment. A federal joint resolution to repeal the 13th amendment and replace it with a 28th amendment that abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude without exception as a punishment for crime or any other reason. Of course we'll tie it all together with music, spoken word, and the teachings of Slavery Abolitionist ancestors brought to life for a new generation.

It's been a rough two weeks as our co-host Yusuf Hassan dealt with the passing and internment of his father Joseph. A huge fan of the program and a slavery abolitionist. But, on August 27th we're back and broadcasting LIVE from Denver Colorado at the Abolish Slavery National Network Anniversary Event! We'll talk with ASNN organizers and recap the weekends events. We will discuss the future of slavery abolition and turn it all up with amazing music and spoken word. Then, we'll close it all out with an epic speech from Frederick Douglass read by Ossie Davis in our Bridging The Gap segment. We introduced all of it right here on Abolition Today when it began and we'll reintroduce it in 2023. Ladies and gentlemen. We Are The Abolish Slavery National Network and in only five short years 8 state constitutions no longer allow slavery as a punishment for crime because we exist. We are here. God willing, we'll be here till the job is done and the battle is won. Amen and amen.

In this edition of #ThePrintUninterrupted, Senior Consulting Editor Jyoti Malhotra travelled to Trincomalee in Sri Lanka and spoke to the first Tamil governor of its Eastern province, Senthil Thondaman, on issues ranging from the 13th Amendment and why it was still not implemented despite becoming a part of the Constitution and the 1987 India-Sri Lanka accord and why Thondaman is a fervent supporter of the jallikatu sport.

Please keep our brother Yusuf Hassan and his family in your prayers as they are going through very troubled times. In his absence I'll be joined by multi published, multi recorded, Spoken Word legend, Tribal Raine. AKA Mrs Parthas. :) In this episode we're dropping mics and exploding truth bombs while amplifying voices that break the issues down so succinctly it should be considered an art form. Of course we've got powerful music and poetry lined up as well as bringing the voices of our abolitionist ancestors back to life for a new generation of slavery abolitionists.

Replay: On this first day of Black August 2021, we look at how the cotton industry made kings in america. We'll keep you updated on the latest efforts in the slavery abolitionist movement and discuss recent news as it relates to the struggle. #shutemdown2021 has begun!  This message comes from our sponsors at Jailhouse lawyers Speak and I Am We Ubuntu Millions for Prisoners Human Rights Coalition. Follow the link iamweubuntu.com And of course, as always, we've got music and poetry that will touch your soul and move your body. Including bringing the voices of the ancestors back to life in our Bridging The Gap segment.

We address the myths being perpetrated that in any way, shape, or form, that slavery was beneficial to black people, that there was such a creature as a good enslaver, or that slaves were happy and content with their oppressive conditions. It's a shame we even need to explain this in 2023 but who better than us right? As always, we'll share amazing music, poetry, and bring the voices of the abolitionist ancestors back to life for a new generation in our Bridging The gap Segment.

In this episode we're all black everything. We're play music about being black. We'll talk about black issues. Highlight systemic racism against black lives. We'll Discuss black history, and do it all unapologetically. In the past few months we've gotten some complaints that we focus too much on black people. On Social media I've been accused of conspiring to hide black criminality. Well, this episode is for you. If it pisses you off so be it. Blame Max. I chose to do this episode. In a nation where you can't even say the words Black People (choosing POC instead) or talk about issues exclusive to descendants of the Diaspora without showing an often nonexistent intersectionality in some kind of oppression Olympics, we're about to black out on your ass. Of course, we're going to bring the voice of a BLACK abolitionist back to life for a new generation in our bridging The Gap segment. I see you seething and it makes me smile.

The parable of the blind men and an elephant is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and imagine what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant's body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then make a determination of what creature they are touching based on the limited knowledge. This week we explain the 4 competing groups attempting to dominate the US justice system narrative. What groups? What narratives? What's the difference? What do they have in common? Is it a problem? How? Using music, poetry, and dialogue, we'll discuss all that and more.

Sincere Ignorance and Conscientious Stupidity The most dangerous thing in the world "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." -Martin Luther King Jr. Tonight we directly address the pro-slavery anti-black arguments. The complete denial, the logical fallacies, the stereotypes and tropes. The arguments of the past and the present because they are one and the same. Join Max and Yusuf as we break it all down to expose the insanity of the slaver class and their puppet minions.

This week on Political Breakfast, a group of Democratic lawmakers including Georgia Congresswoman Nikema Williams are pushing a joint resolution to negate a clause in the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- that permits the use of slavery and involuntary servitude as a punishment for a crime. Currently the 13th Amendment says, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."Plus, court records released recently have caused questions to swirl about just how secure the Dominion Voting machines are here in Georgia. At issue is the software that has been deemed by cybersecurity experts as being "vulnerable." Georgia Secretary of State officials say any updates will have to wait until after the 2024 presidential election. Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Sterling sits down with host Lisa Rayam and strategists Brian Robinson and Tharon Johnson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Louisiana has embarrassed itself and the entire nation once again by refusing to pass HB 211. The slavery abolition bill. In 2022 Louisiana became the face of national shame by being the only state of 5 who did not pass a slavery abolition bill. In S4-E16 Special Extended Broadcast - The Testimony of Angels and Devils HB211 LA you heard their wicked reasoning for not wanting to give up the criminal act of involuntary servitude AKA Forced/Slave labor in 2023. This Sunday, Fathers day, on the eve of Juneteenth, we're joined by LA Representative Edmond Jordan. Author of HB 211 to get the rundown on how in the confounding confederate slave state this happened again. We'll have music, insightful conversation, uplifting, educational, and inspirational discussions, and as always we'll bring the voices of the abolitionist ancestors back to life for a new generation with our Bridging The Gap segment.

This Sunday Max and Yusuf are joined by Chris Lodgson. A leading voice in slavery reparations. Chris Lodgson is the President and lead organizer/advocate for the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California, as well as a Community Organizing and Policy Manager in the Sacramento Office of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC). Chris is also the 2022 recipient of the Fannie Lou Hamer Boots on the Ground Award for Community Organizing from the National Assembly of American Slavery Descendants (NAASD). In this pre-Juneteenth two episode set (Last week and this) we were joined by an organizer of National Juneteenth events ( Juneteenth Jamal Basill Bradley) and now, one of the leading voices in reparations. Chris Lodgson. Two topics that would normally indicate a post slavery society. And yet, both of these organizers are slavery abolitionists. We believe their unique perspectives will help others gain understanding of the issue surrounding modern legal slavery in a nation hell bent on pushing a false narrative of full emancipation and absolute abolition. Can we settle reparations while slavery is still legal and in practice? Tune in to find out.

Several headlines in the realm of legal news could have national implications, including federal judges of various political persuasions who could unilaterally set national policy. On Today's Show:Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate covering courts and the law, has reported that a single federal judge in Texas could outlaw abortion pills nationwide. And, in other legal news, Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch testified that some of his network hosts endorsed the stolen election lie. Mark joins us to provide an update on these and other headlines in legal affairs.

Prison Pipelines / Loopholes... terms overstated today by many who evaluate systems...What systems exactly? THE controversial topic is outlined by B Daht in this episode. A CONVERSATION IS STARTED ON HOW many elements that begin with the 13th amendment, affect us today. GENERATIONAL REACTIONS to intentional planning. And MORE IMPORTANTLY, a reflection of what now and next... B Daht takes a moment to start a conversation rooted in historical fact.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EPISODE 128: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Before he begins tonight's State of the Union Address, President Biden should pull his aviators out of his pocket and slap them on, reach under the lectern and pull out a shredded Chinese balloon and drape it in front of himself, and reach under again and produce an AIM-9X Sidewinder Missile and rest it on his shoulder. It's ridiculous hyperbole of course. But how much MORE ridiculous than Bush's Flight Suit and Mission Accomplished speech? Democrats have no clue how stupid half the country (or more) really is, and how easily that half can be manipulated by stunts, theater, shiny objects, crotch bulges in flight suits, braggadocio, nonsense, outright lies, and other tactics Republicans mastered decades ago. How stupid are they? When Karine Jean-Pierre reminded reporters they'd been given "Tick Tocks" (journalistic jargon for minute-by-minute timelines), The Daily Caller and Fox News both jumped to the asinine conclusion that the secrets of the nation were being distributed on TIK-TOK. This is how dumb they are, and they are not getting less so. Bring a Sidewinder with you, Mr. President. B-Block (18:50) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Did a Federal Judge just notice a flaw in the SCOTUS overturn of Roe-V-Wade that might reinstate it? Samuel Alito's Mom's Abortion Clinic? And Flaco seems about to check back in to his old home. (21:48) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Elon Musk, joke plagiarist, fake news spreader, safety disaster; Confirmation that NewsMax wanted to raise its price to DirecTV from $0 to $13,000,000. And the Bill Maher numbers are in and - guess what - he did not make the slightest difference in CNN's implosion. C-Block (28:34) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Pandora, in Philadelphia (29:47) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's basically the anniversary of the day the geniuses at MSNBC would've lost Maddow to CNN because Larry King offered her $250 and unbeknownst to me we weren't paying her anything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About this episode:  Shockingly brief given the lives lost, cost, and national trauma, but the American Civil War's two greatest significances are that the nation was preserved and that slavery was ended.

The American Civil War wasn't just a military conflict. There was also a major political and legal conflict struggle that took place alongside the military campaigns.  In the last months of the war, President Abraham Lincoln knew that if the war was to truly be the end of the conflict, it was necessary to ban slavery once and for all.  That would require changing the constitution.
