Many view Juneteenth as a celebration for slaves in Texas who finally received word on June 19, 1865, that they were free. But it took more than two years for that news to reach the ears of those enslaved after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. While it took several more months for slavery to be abolished in 1865, a system known as convict leasing had emerged in Southern states where Blacks were forced into unpaid labor. Historians note that these factors along with ongoing research provide evidence of how slavery played a major role in building this nation's economy. Moreover, some experts argue that slavery, mixed with a host of other discriminatory, economic practices like redlining and segregation, contribute to an already large racial wealth gap that continues to grow even wider. Complicating matters, state lawmakers have proposed legislation that attempt to regulate how teachers and educators can discuss those histories in classrooms across the country. Stay tuned as I SEE U takes a provocative look at Juneteenth. We invite the renowned schoolteacher and counselor who was the driving force in making Juneteenth a national holiday, 95-year-old Opal Lee. We'll also examine the commercialization of this holiday and what efforts are needed for progress with an unguarded chat with Morgan State University's Journalism Professor, Dr. Jared Ball; and President/CEO of Center of Black Equity in Washington, D.C., Earl D. Fowlkes, Jr.

There is a major difference between equity and compensation! If we want to win the tax game, build generational wealth, and push the culture forward… we have to OWN ASSETS. Our collective power to move the conversation from being consumers to producers and eventually owners is upon us and in this episode we are going to dive into:  Breaking generational curses and blessing our families : what it takes in our mindset, financial habits, and business practices to shift the narrative around finances in our families.  The connection between riches and time : why we are able to free up our time by owning more assets which pay for the liabilities in our lives.  Entrepreneurs who are building businesses as prime examples of what we mean when we say “ black equity” : their approach to “niching down” , mindset towards ownership, and vision for generations to come.  The Pain Of Payment and Group Accountability : the power we have to materialize more of what we desire by being in the right circles and adding value.  History on our side in the stock market : being aware of market conditions, dollar cost averaging, and taking advantage of historic prices.  And do much more!   Ask your money questions here : https://www.videoask.com/fjp1gzv8y    Visit http://www.blackequitycon.com to get your 20% OFF registration.

2.14.2022: #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Liberia's 200th, Bridgeport Families want DOJ's help, Black Women & Heart Health, Black Equity The families of two black women found dead in Bridgeport, Connecticut, are demanding the mayor take action. Lauren Smith-Fields and Brenda Lee Rawls both died on the same December day, and both investigations were so bad the two detectives who were in charge of them have been suspended. With no faith in the local police department, the families want the Department of Justice to step in. Attorney Darnell Crosland is here to give us an update. In Georgia, opening statements in the hate crime trial of the three white men who killed Ahmaud Arbery began today. Ya'll remember the school that had the petition to bring slavery back? Well, one of the teachers at the same school has been suspended for using the N-word in class. Plus, a black man in Kentucky has filed a racial profiling lawsuit for a traffic stop he says would not have happened if he were a white man. Racial equity. What is it, and will we ever achieve it. We'll be joined by a Cultural Architect who will shed some light on the topic. And, it's heart health awareness month.

On World AIDS Day, let's take it up a notch and take a walk at the ball! For decades we have used this day to spread awareness and advocate for the end of the HIV epidemic, but we cannot talk about the good fight without mentioning the ballroom scene. Mainstream shows and documentaries like Pose, How Do I Look?, Paris is Burning, and Legendary have given most of us a peek into the world of ballroom. The culture started in New York City by Black people, primarily those in the LGBT+ community. Today, many houses (or groups) can be found all around the world hosting their own spectacular dance events and competitions. In the ballroom, people might be serving face or striking a pose but there's much more to it -- they can enter knowing it's safe under all the glitter and glamour that was made by them, and for them. It's also a place where public health advocates have allocated resources and information about HIV/AIDS. Donte Prayer, the new HIV Program Manager for The Center for Black Health & Equity, brings his colleague Kenya Hutton, Deputy Director for the Center for Black Equity, to the podcast to share their insights on ballroom culture. Both of them say while the space has helped people navigate through the epidemic, ballroom is still highly criticized. Along with stigma, there are issues concerning equity in treatment and health laws that are harmful to Black people living with HIV. Special host Natasha Phelps, the new Director of Equity-Centered Policies at The Center, leads the conversation from a health justice perspective. What do you think about ballroom?

White backlash against Racial equity work has gotten BIG. I refuse to believe that all of us white people think it's acceptable. Still, our silence speaks volumes. I believe we avoid talking about it because it's so BIG, that we don't know how to counteract it, so big it's swinging elections and fueling book banning. And it's so TINY, in acts of microaggression that happen in a moment but carry deep significance. How do we get all that nuance right? Dana Smith, my cousin by marriage, has been kind enough help me understand her perspective as a Black Minnesotan. Maya Angelou told us to "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." I believe one path forward to doing better has to be sharing microstories, little moments that help us see what we didn't see before. I'm grateful to Dana for sharing hers.Dana Smith is a mother, content creator + entrepreneur. You can follow her at instagram.com/dana23smith.
