Hannah Durkin is a historian whose new book, Survivors: The Lost Stories of the Last Captives of the Atlantic Slave Trade, shines a light on the final years of a pivotal yet deeply troubling period in US and global history. The Clotilda, the subject of Durkin's book, was the last slave ship to land on American soil in 1860. This was despite a federal law banning the importation of captive individuals from the African continent having been passed over half a century prior. Some of the survivors onboard The Clotilda lived well into the 20th century and the book aims to highlight their stories. Joining Durkin in conversation for this episode is Christienna Fryar, the historian and broadcaster with a focus on modern Britain, the British Empire, and the modern Caribbean. Most recently she was Lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Education shapes lives - but how is this journey shaped by race, colonialism, and migration? Join us as we navigate the establishment of school systems in the British Caribbean post-Emancipation to the increasingly diverse classrooms of mid-20th century Britain. We're enlightened by the insights of Deanna Lyncook, a fellow podcaster and PhD student, whose research colors our understanding of Caribbean life and education abroad.We trace the racial and religious underpinnings of education in the anglophone colonies and unpack the challenges that newly-migrated British Caribbean students faced in the UK, from policies that hindered their academic success to the resistance and activism that these hurdles sparked within the Caribbean community. We also spotlight the unsung heroes: parents, educators, and activists who fought for an improved educational experience for Caribbean youth in Britain. Their story, alongside the enduring challenges faced by these students, continues to resonate today. In a world increasingly shaped by movement, understanding the interplay between education, history, and migration is more crucial than ever. Join us as we unearth an essential chapter of Black British and Caribbean history. Deanna Lyncook is a PhD student in History at Queen Mary University of London. Her research takes a transnational approach to the experiences of West Indian children in the British education system in Britain and its Caribbean colonies, in the second half of the 20th Century. She is the founder host of the weekly podcast The History Hotline where she discusses events and individuals that have shaped Black history in Britain and the Caribbean. She co-organised a Black British History Conference funded by the Institute of Historical Research, Queen Mary University and Northwestern University. She has curated an oral history exhibition at the Museum of Methodism and has also worked on historical research projects for the Society for Caribbean Studies, the University of Leeds, BBC Radio London and the Times Radio. She is also a coordinator for the Young Historians Project, that works on research projects to document neglected aspects of Black British History.

Fryar and Matt Hodler to break down the white supremacist terrorist actions of swimmer Klete Keller in the January 6th attack against the US Capitol building and the white sport media's apologist portrayal of him. Dr. Fryar is a Lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London where she teaches about British colonial history, Black history, and much more, alongside researching the histories of disaster and sport. Dr. Hodler –a repeat guest on the show! - is an Assistant Professor of Sports Media & Communications at the University of Rhode Island. His research interests include racialized nationalism, gender, and international sport structures, mediated representations of sport, internet memes, and swimming. Both of them are fellow swimmers with Johanna. The impetus for this episode emerged not only due to Klete Keller's horrendous actions, but also due to the sport media and swimming community's largely apologist portrayals of Keller and his actions. Our discussion brings a much-needed critique on Keller that has been mostly absent from the media pieces about him (outside of The Nation's analysis of Keller within the IOC's history of racism). Drs. Fryar and Hodler first help Johanna situate Keller's actions within the sport of swimming, arguing against the popular and comforting idea that his behavior is a deviation from the swimming community's values posited by The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Swimming World in particular. Their discussion articulates why modern swimming has a whiteness problem that historically and currently is centered on the white community, making Keller's actions a product of US swimming, and explicitly not an aberration of it nor of Trump's followers. Importantly, Dr. Fryar explains how – like point that Dr. Kevin Dawson made in our episode with him and that other scholars have shown – white Euro-Americans have consistently made bodies of water a site of intense trauma and pain for Black swimmers, which has led directly to horrendous drowning statistics. Our ensuing discussing shows how US swimming's white supremacy is a real public health concern that Keller contributed to through his white terrorism. We then turn to analyzing the media's white apologist portrayals of Keller, such as why their focus on his mental health issues, homelessness, and his white teammates and coaches' sympathetic responses is a white tactic not actually aimed at highlighting mental health issues; rather, it is an intentional attempt to individualize Keller's actions rather than tackle the core issue of his racism, terrorism, and where it fits within the swimming community. This is clear when we compare how Keller, Ryan Lochte, and Michael Phelps have been treated for their crimes with white gloves compared to Tamir Rice and the countless other Black boys and men who have been murdered by the police for far less and even non-criminal behaviors. Dr. Fryar points to the issue that sports journalists are not trained to analyze racism, classism, and other issues as evidenced by her students' research about how the Hillsborough incident was covered by the sports media. We end the conversation by dissecting the appallingly inadequate – but perhaps not surprising – statements made by USA Swimming and to a lesser extent Team USA. We question the ‘values' that USA Swimming supposedly stands for, and what their silence regarding Keller's white supremacy means for the sport and Black swimmers. Dr. Hodler mentions the Swimmers for Change episode with Lia Neal, Cullen Jones, and Anthony Ervin as being one of the first comprehensive spotlights on the racist discrimination that swimmers of color face in the sport. This conversation is very much a continuation of our Swimming Week series of episodes from September 2020. Check them out if you would like to hear more about the sport's discriminatory foundation, such as its white supremacy with Dr. Kevin Dawson here and Dr. Hodler here! More on Dr. Fryar (including her forthcoming book!), can be found here. You can find her on Twitter too! Check out the 2 pieces she mentioned in the episode, about the economic barriers that she and countless others faced in trying to join a club swim team for The Toast, and also for Media Diversified about why we need to address the racist stereotype that Black people cannot swim in light of Simone Manual's gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Christienna Fryer talks to Helen about the emancipation of slaves in Jamaica in 1838. While the colonial government thought that a similar plantation system might exist with the addition of wages, their formerly enslaved subjects disagreed. Christienna talks about how Jamaicans resisted British rule, and particularly about the Morant Bay rebellion in 1865, which caused brutal British repression. The likes of Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle and J. S. Mill discussed whether the British response could be justified and came to very different conclusions.Christienna looks at how people in Jamaica resisted and challenged colonial structures and systems, and how in challenging them, they helped to reshape them. She talks about one particular case in the Kingston Lunatic Asylum that would change how the British approached asylums all over the empire, as well as much more.Christienna Fryar is a lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Join a panel of young creatives to discuss the Black British History that isn't taught in schools, from The Empire Windrush to historical figures like Mary Seacole. What does this lack of representation in British history mean to contemporary generations and what is the impact of being taught such a brief part of Black History? Organised by Creative Youth with Kingston Council's Arts Service, panellists Kayla Cadence, Gemma Orleans-Thompson, Iyata Golding and Myles Cameron will discuss how the arts can be a useful tool in supporting, inspiring and educating future generations.

Are we honest about our history and is what we teach representative of our true story? In this episode we speak to Kwame Boateng from The Black Curriculum to discuss how what we learn about our past is so important to our shared future. The Black Curriculum is a social enterprise campaigning to get Black British History taught in UK schools 365 days of the year, and since 2019 they have been delivering their arts focused history programmes to 8-16 year olds. Students' engagement with Black History in the UK is often limited to one month of the year, with an over emphasis on the Transatlantic Slave Trade, but the team at The Black Curriculum believe that a balanced and integrated teaching of our shared history can facilitate real social change. Episode 1 transcript ----- Manchester Museum is on a mission to become the most imaginative, caring and inclusive museum in the world, and in this podcast we will share open and honest conversations with special guests, which will inform, entertain and inspire. Through these conversations we hope to reframe what it means for museums to care, and explore how we can build understanding, empathy and love for our world and each other. We want to raise awareness of rarely told and overlooked histories. The first series of the podcast will explore this theme, developing on some of the projects and exhibitions where we are helping shed light on the things they didn't teach us in school.

Most of us learn history in a classroom at school. From the ancient Greeks to World Wars, we're given a context in which to understand the world and our place in it. So when a black child enters a UK classroom, do we want the first time they see someone who looks like them to be an intellectual powerhouse, a nation-changing warrior, or an enslaved person? Kwame Boateng from The Black Curriculum explains how they're addressing the lack of Black British history in the UK curriculum, where the boundaries of time and geography of the British Empire come in to play, his favourite black historical figure John Blanke, and The Black Curriculum's campaign to get black history incorporated into the education system, 365 days of the year.
