“I think that there was a catalyst moment in my life, and so, life took me into education, but if I had been paying attention, I would have known that this is where I was supposed to be all along.”Ms. Shanelle SmithPrincipalhttps://www.hbcuwalkingbillboard.org/“My new message became y'all can accomplish a whole lot more together than apart.”In this powerful episode, we sit down with Principal Shanelle Smith of Lincoln College Preparatory Academy — her very own alma mater — to explore the profound impact Black educators have on their students and communities. Shanelle opens up about her unexpected path into education, from navigating personal loss after her mother's passing to discovering a deep passion for working with underserved youth. She reflects on what she calls the "learning behind the learning" — the cultural wisdom, code-switching skills, and sense of belonging that Black teachers uniquely provide, and why their presence in schools remains as vital as ever.“I think that in order to really break down the state of education in Black America, we got to look at it in America as a whole.”Shanelle also shares the inspiring story behind her nonprofit, HBCU Walking Billboard, which started with something as simple as wearing an HBCU shirt and grew into a full 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to bringing awareness of historically Black colleges and universities to Kansas City. From scholarships and college tours to annual send-off celebrations, the initiative reflects Shanelle's belief that students deserve to see every door that is open to them. As she puts it, her life's work is about liberation — giving students the tools, the pride, and the pathways to chart their own futures.

For fans of Dilla Time and The Chronicles of DOOM, a culturally connected celebration of the groundbreaking hip-hop group De La Soul, and how they changed the look, sound, and feel of Black America. Music artists and trends come and go, but every once in a while, a moment arrives that genuinely changes everything. In 1988, De La Soul, three young men from Amityville, Long Island, did exactly that. Their always innovative work pulled inspiration from artists of the past and popularized cutting-edge music sampling techniques to blend jazz, R&B, and rap as they created a sound unlike any the world had heard before. But the De La Soul experience didn't end there. These weren't just musicians—they were game-changers in so many ways. From the way they dressed, to the words they spoke, to the day-glo colors of their breakout 3 Feet and Rising, De La Soul rejected convention, refused to be talked back into the box, and left the door open for everyone behind them. Now, in Living in a D.A.I.S.Y. Age: The Music, Culture, and World De La Soul Made (Atria/One Signal, 2026), West Virginia University history professor Austin McCoy explores how De La Soul not only defined a new era of hip-hop, but also American and Black culture at the same time. Through his eyes, ears, and well-studied recall of ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s America, McCoy takes us on a journey through the world this innovative musical act made. One of the few hip-hop groups of their era to stay together long term, De La Soul lived astonishing highs and lows, from forming the Native Tongues collective to influential fights with their publishers to assert the artist's right to control their creations. And after a lifetime left out of music's digital revolution, in 2023 they finally hit streaming services just as it lost founding member David Jolicoeur too soon to see his work reach a brand-new generation of fans. Living in a D.A.I.S.Y. Age will connect with DLS fans, ‘80s babies, and students of the rap game alike, in a beautifully rendered and deeply researched tome that places this group atop the pedestal it deserves. Guest: Austin McCoy is an assistant professor of history at West Virginia University, specializing in African American History, labor history, social movements, and hip-hop culture. His work has appeared in numerous outlets including CNN, The Baffler, The Washington Post, Black Perspectives, and Truthout. He lives in West Virginia. Host: Michael Stauch (he/him) is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

The Scuttlebutt: Understanding Military Culture

Join us for a compelling conversation with award-winning journalist and bestselling writer Wil Haygood (author of The Butler) as he discusses his latest book, The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home (out February 10, 2026). Haygood reframes the Vietnam War not simply as a foreign conflict, but as a crucible in which the fight for civil rights followed Black Americans from the streets of the United States into the jungles of Southeast Asia. Drawing on deep research and vivid personal stories, he traces the lives of Black soldiers, airmen, doctors, nurses, journalists, and activists who fought simultaneously against enemy forces abroad and systemic racism at home. In The War Within a War, readers encounter figures both famous and obscure: from an Air Force pilot POW and a frontline surgeon to Marvin Gaye and Martin Luther King, Jr. The goal is to illuminate how this dual struggle reshaped both the war and the American conscience. This book goes beyond military history to explore how race and war intersected in ways that still echo in American life. Haygood's narrative brings urgency and humanity to a chapter of the Vietnam era that reshapes our understanding of service, sacrifice, and the unfinished fight for equality. Join us to hear from one of America's most insightful chroniclers of Black experience and national history, and to engage with the stories that still reverberate a half-century later.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of the Concrete Genius Podcast, Sauce Mackenzie breaks down culture, credit, and respect—and why Black Americans must stop outsourcing their identity, voice, and leadership.From celebrity politics and cultural imitation to hip-hop, reparations, immigration, and the protection of Black women and children, this conversation challenges emotional thinking and calls for strategic unity. Sauce speaks honestly about lived Black American experience, why not all struggles are interchangeable, and why respect for our history, contributions, and trauma matters.The episode also dives into:• Who benefits from Black culture—and who gets erased• Why entertainers protect their interests, not the community• The loss of militancy in hip-hop and political voice• Reparations, voting power, and economic unity• Domestic violence, emotional manipulation, and protecting our youth• Masculinity, boundaries, and accountability in public spacesThis is not anti-immigrant. This is pro-Black American, pro-self-respect, and pro-future.

It's New Orleans: Out to Lunch

In almost every conversation about healthcare, we hear the term, “provider.” Typically, we assume a healthcare provider is a doctor. But, if you look at insurance company definitions of health care providers, the term includes almost every branch of medical care - therapists, podiatrists, imaging centers, home-health agencies, hospice, the list goes on. Ironically, the one person not on any official list of healthcare providers is “you.” A local wellness entrepreneur is changing that. Kwame Terra is Founder and CEO of bEHR Health Systems. The company’s principal product is an app directed specifically at Black Americans. The app doesn’t replace professional healthcare providers, but it aims to put the user front and center in directing their own health outcomes. The app store summary says, “At bEHR, we aspire to create a healthcare resource free from the shackles of racism that infect our current system and seamlessly integrate health into Black culture. This isn't just a health app for tracking and enhancing well-being; it signifies the initiation of our enduring commitment to stand as Black America’s health partner for life.” With roughly 14% of Americans – 48 million people - identifying as Black, and a 2024 Pew Research finding that 51% of Black Americans say they believe the U.S. health-care system was designed to “hold Black people back a great deal or a fair amount,” there would appear to be a ready market for this product. When it comes to the traditional provision of healthcare, the consistently best-regarded group and most trusted providers of medical care, are nurses. Patients and doctors alike typically regard nurses as critical to patient safety and care. There’s also a critical shortage of nurses. According to a recent report from the Louisiana Board of Regents, the state is projected to face a shortage of roughly 6,000 registered nurses by 2030. That’s about 40% short of the workforce needed, if nothing changes. One local institution that’s working to change that outcome is The University of Holy Cross, on the Westbank. Among its other courses, UHC has a dedicated Department of Nursing. RegisteredNursing.org – a nationwide organization of registered nurses – has rated UHC as the best nursing school in Louisiana. And UHC’s nursing department is one of the principal focuses of the school’s President, Dr. Stanton McNeely. If we did a simultaneous scan of every news-talk radio station and every TV news channel right now, it’s pretty likely we’re not the only people talking about healthcare. But it’s very likely we’re the only people talking about a Catholic-college-driven solution to the nursing shortage, and an African-American-focused entrepreneurial venture aimed at sidestepping healthcare racism. Even in something as ubiquitous as the healthcare debate, New Orleans manages to be, well, New Orleans. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

Let's start with a sentence that makes Leftists reach for the smelling salts: there is widespread racism against White people in America, and it didn't stay neatly contained. Like a government program that started as a pilot and became permanent, that racism metastasized into ideology. And that ideology didn't just target Whites. It flattened Black ambition.That's the part the Left never wants to talk about.They sell this story as compassion. As justice. As historical repair. But what they actually built was a system that punished excellence, reframed merit as oppression, and taught Black Americans that striving was a betrayal.That wasn't accidental. That was strategic.When Black America Didn't Ask for PermissionThere was a time when Black Americans didn't ask for accommodation. We asked for a stopwatch.You told us we couldn't do something, and we treated it like a dare. You said only White men could dominate a field, and Black America replied, “Hold my Colt 45.”Jack Johnson didn't become heavyweight champion because someone checked a diversity box.

The promise of Reconstruction sparked a transformative era in American history as free and newly emancipated Black Americans sought to redefine their place in a nation still grappling with the legacy of slavery. Often remembered as a period of failed progressive change that gave way to Jim Crow and second-class citizenship, Reconstruction's tragic narrative has long overshadowed the resilience and agency of African Americans during this time.Requiem for Reconstruction (University of North Carolina Press, 2025) chronicles Reconstruction's legacy by focusing on key Black figures such as South Carolina congressman Robert Smalls, Judge William Whipper, writer Frances Rollin, and others who shaped postbellum Black America. Robert D. Bland traces the impact of the Reconstruction generation—Black Americans born between 1840 and 1870 who saw Reconstruction as a defining political movement and worked to preserve its legacy by establishing a new set of historical practices such as formulating new archives, shaping local community counternarratives, using the Black press to inform national audiences about Southern Republican politics, and developing a framework to interpret the recent past's connection to their present world. Set in South Carolina's Lowcountry—a hub of Black freedom, landownership, and activism—this book shows how late nineteenth-century Black leaders, educators, and journalists built a powerful countermemory of Reconstruction, defying the dominant white narrative that sought to erase their contributions.

The Bigger Picture Also -On this week's Not All Hood Weekly Drop, Candace Kelley sits down with Dr. Dabenga (American University), author of Lies About Black People, to unpack rising fears around dual citizenship, naturalization, and denaturalization. They discuss claims circulating about policies that could pressure dual citizens to “choose” a nationality, and what that would mean for millions of Black and Brown people, especially families with older relatives and inconsistent historical records. Dr. Dabenga argues this moment fits a broader pattern of escalating enforcement—moving from border messaging to interior targeting—raising concerns about ICE encounters, documentation demands, and “lawless” enforcement behavior. Candace and Dr. Dabenga also break down practical protection steps: don't go anywhere with unidentified agents, ask bystanders to record everything, understand what kinds of warrants are required, and build a family plan for emergencies. They also broaden the conversation to diaspora identity—why people pursue dual citizenship for safety, opportunity, and connection—and how media narratives can shape misunderstandings between African Americans and Africans. This is an urgent, real-world conversation about immigration enforcement, civil rights, due process, and community preparedness—with history, context, and tools you can actually use. Across Netflix, iHeartRadio, Warner Bros., and Paramount, the signal is clear: Media is consolidating quietly, not loudly. Partnerships are the new acquisitions, and acquisitions are increasingly about IP, audience, and infrastructure—not prestige. This week reinforces that the next wave of media power won't come from who makes the most content—but from who controls distribution, data, and direct audience relationships. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.

The shocking fiscal data suggests men foot the bill, while women, on average, cost the system. This controversial truth may just break the internet. In this jaw-dropping video, Mr. Reagan reveals data that flips the narrative about gender and economics. According to New Zealand's fiscal records, men are the sole net tax contributors, while women, on balance, draw more from the system than they give. This isn't just a slight difference. It's a seismic financial gap that goes unnoticed in today's conversations on equality. The average woman, by the end of her life, reportedly costs society $150,000 more than she contributes. Meanwhile, men not only work, build, and protect, but also bear the fiscal weight of an entire nation. Why is this never discussed? Because it challenges the mainstream ideology that promotes equal respect without equal sacrifice.
