The main things we're known for are imitated. Never duplicate the formula close enough to solidify ownership. Most people still don't realize the original blueprint because they've seen imitation so much. Let's get into it. Tune in!Support the show

Affirmative action and DEI have become lightning rods in today's culture wars, but how much do we really know about where they came from and why they exist? In this episode, Sergio breaks down the long history of systemic racism in America, from slavery and Jim Crow to redlining and modern hiring bias. You'll learn what affirmative action actually is, what DEI really means, and how both have shaped access, opportunity, and fairness for everyone not just a few. This isn't about guilt. It's about awareness. Because when you understand the history, you start to see the patterns. And once you see them, you can't unsee them.1.Intro2. America's Original Construction Project3.

Black History Month Special (Part 2) AI - The Truth Exposed! The Black Spy Podcast 216, Season 22, Episode 0007   This week, host Carlton King continues his headfirst dive into the meaning of Black History Month — asking seemingly none provocative questions of Chat GPT such as Why do you and other LLM continue to use terms such as the Middle East” and why does this matter? Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, Carlton explores the true financial and political objectives and consequences of the British Empire, including how Britain came to rule world finances. Carlton also uncovers how AI is finally challenging a racist, euro-centric manipulation of history with true and evidenced fact, yet strangely Carlton notes that these answers are not provided questionaries in the first instance and he wants to establish why?. Carlton examines who decides who's “Black” and who's “White,” and how these definitions have been weaponised throughout history to dumb down Africa and it's diaspora's real historical legacy. Once again we hope you enjoy this week's episode and learn from it. So, please don't forget to subscribe to the Black Spy Podcast for free, so you never miss another fascinating episode.

Fort Mose roughly 1 mile north of St. Augustine has the distinction of being the first free Black settlement in what is now America. Despite that august history, the site remains little known inside or outside of Florida. Kathleen Deagan and Jane Landers have spent the last 40-plus years attempting to uncover and promote the history at Fort Mose. Their book, "Fort Mose: Colonial America's Black Fortress of Freedom," combines history and archaeology to provide as accurate an account of the Fort as exists.

                                         Black History Month Special (Part 1)                        Two famous 18th century families you never knew were black!                               The Black Spy       Podcast 215, Season 22, Episode 0006 This week, host Carlton King dives headfirst into the meaning of Black History Month — asking the provocative question: What is “Black History,” and why does it matter? Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, he exposes the hidden stories of two famous families who, through deliberate “whitening,” have had their true African heritage obscured from public view. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of how power, politics, and perception continue to shape the narrative of Black identity.

Dr. Christy Clark-Pujara brings some clarity to the recent political attacks on history that are attempting to erase multicultural aspects of our American past. Not just history but education and knowledge itself. This moment is similar to the time after Reconstruction with the response to Black people engaged in the political process and having power. Points to cultural backlash historically like Birth of the Nation and Gone with the Wind portraying a negative propaganda of African American contributions to the US. Also, hear about a program that Dr. Clark-Pujara has been a part of that connects K-12 teachers to historians and academics to bring back their experience to their classrooms. Funding was cut this year, so she is having to figure out a way to still make it happen in a different form.

In little Arcadia in southwest Florida in the 1980s, two tragedies became national news: the exoneration of a Black father wrongfully convicted in 1968 for the death of his seven children, and three little white boys being ostracized from the community after contracting the AIDS virus through blood transfusions. Jason Vuic grew up in nearby Ponta Gorda and remembers following these events closely as they unfolded. He dug back into the stories, and the story of Arcadia, in his newly released book for fall of 2025, "A Town Without Pity: AIDS, Race, and Resistance in Florida's Deep South."If the James Richardson portion of this episode interests you, be sure to visit our Florida Black History YouTube channel with all of our previous shows about Black History in Florida.

This past week unspecified interpretive materials related to slavery were either removed or tagged for removal from Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia. It also was reported that a troubling photo known as the “Scourged Back” that depicted the scar-riddled back of an enslaved man was taken down from Fort Pulaski National Monument in Georgia. The National Park System has been pulled into the current-day battles of wokeism of sorts through the removal of those, and likely other, interpretive materials in the parks that help us better understand enslaved history. Where it will end, or whether it will be reversed, is unknown. To better understand what's transpiring and what the impacts are, we've invited Alan Spears, the senior director for cultural resources at the National Parks Conservation Association, to join us today.

The Trump administration has ordered federally funded museums to remove exhibits depicting slavery by September 17, and that includes information on the slaves who worked in George Washington's home displayed at the President's House on Independence Mall. KYW Newsradio's Shara Dae Howard spoke with Visit Philadelphia about how they're going about preserving Black history while following federal mandates.

If you've ever felt like your story was erased, rewritten, or left out of the record, this conversation will remind you of your power to be seen and remembered. My guest Dominique Luster, founder of The Luster Company, shares her journey from a small-town theater student in Kentucky to becoming one of the few Black women archivists protecting culture, lineage, and legacy. What started as a job in the library became a calling that led her to preserve the voices and stories of families, communities, and women around the world. Dominique shows us that archiving is not just about old papers. It is about the recipes, the family stories, the sound of your grandmother's laughter in the kitchen. She reminds us that the cloud does not mean ownership and that women entrepreneurs must protect their creations and their intellectual property. Most of all, she shows us that history always favors the one who wrote it down.

Synopsis:  From his early days as an illustrator for the Black Panther Party to winning the prestigious Mohn Award in 2023, artist Akinsanya Kambon has been using art to amplify marginalized voices and tell stories of resilience.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Kambon was a member of the Sacramento chapter of the Black Panther Party where he worked on the layout and illustration of the party's famous paper and became lieutenant for culture, illustrating among other things the party's ten point plan and works for young people. In 2023, he won the prestigious Mohn Award — the top prize given by the Hammer Museum for his participation in their biennial “Made in LA” show, titled Acts of Living. His one-man show opened in Beverly Hills at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in April 2025. An exhibition of his work will open at the New York Sculpture Center in May 2026. In this unique conversation, Flanders asks Kambon about his own survival stories, including his polio diagnosis, getting drafted into the Vietnam War, and his year on death row. Kambon was arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer and was later acquitted from that high-profile Oak Park Four case. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive, and catch Flanders' commentary on today's fight to control our nation's stories.“Art educates the masses of people. Not Black or white or Asian, this educates the masses of young people to our struggle, to how long they're struggling and how it's connected.” - Akinsanya Kambon“I thought of myself as an artist even when I was a child, because art was therapy for me . . .

http://Patreon.com/thebpdshow“Thoughts and Prayers of Officials Mean Nothing to God Without Action.” In the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School tragedy in Minneapolis, this sermon confronts the hypocrisy of politicians who offer “thoughts and prayers” while refusing to act against gun violence. Drawing on Isaiah, James, Micah, Amos, and more, Pastor Ben exposes how God rejects empty prayers, condemns faith without works, and holds leaders accountable for blood on their hands. This is a biblical exegesis on gun violence, political idolatry, and the NRA's grip on America. After the sermon, stay tuned for powerful commentary and analysis from the Black Family Channel family: DJ Xclusive, Rebecca Azor, Clickbaity Political Thirsttrap, Georgia Fort, Attorney Augustus Corbett, Dr. Carl Mack, and Pastors Jada and Ben.

For these final weeks of summer we wanted to transport you away from the doom and gloom of the daily news with a trio of stories produced by our friends at the public radio documentary-maker, Radio Diaries. The series is called “Making Waves” and it profiles three people who pushed the boundaries of radio: one to warn, one to rile, one to preach. This week's focus is the preacher. In 1934, the Washington Post called Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux the “best known colored man in America.” His Sunday services were broadcast to over 25 million listeners on CBS radio. Black America saw Michaux as a leader for racial harmony and progress. But during the civil rights movement, his reputation took an unlikely turn. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
