Podcasts about black liberation

In the decades after becoming the first Black US citizen to receive his PhD from Harvard, W.E.B. Du Bois helped transform sociology from theory and speculation to a social science rooted in rigorous methodology and hard data. But despite conducting groundbreaking research, particularly on the lives of Black people, Du Bois chose to leave the academy and become an activist, co-founding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What inspired him to make the change? And what can we learn today from Du Bois's research, his writing, and his life during our own time of white backlash? The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Levering Lewis joins us for part two of our look at the life of the early 20th century's leading intellectual and spokesperson for Black liberation. (A word of caution: Several minutes into the show, Professor Levering Lewis describes an episode of racist violence. We have preserved that portion of the conversation, rather than editing it out, because it describes a turning point in Du Bois's life and career.)

On this episode, the Cold War Cinema crew is joined by director, writer, and producer Adam McKay to discuss John Frankenheimer's paranoid, psychological thriller Seconds (1966). McKay has written and directed many celebrated feature films such as Anchorman (2004), Talladega Nights (2006), Step Brothers (2008), The Big Short (2015), Vice (2018), Don't Look Up (2021), and numerous others. Prior to this, McKay was a founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade in the early 1990s, and head writer for Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 2001. In 2019, McKay founded Hyperobject Industries, and has served as the executive producer of HBO's Succession (2019–2023), Game Theory with Bomani Jones (2022–2023), and, most recently, The Chair Company (2025) starring Tim Robinson.  Synopsis of the film: Middle-aged banker Arthur Hamilton (John Randolph) feels trapped in a life that has calcified into routine and regret. When he receives a phone call from an old friend who he thought was long dead, and a shadowy organization known simply as "the Company" offers him the ultimate second chance, he fakes his death, and undergoes radical surgery to assume a new identity. Reborn as artist Tony Wilson (Rock Hudson), he's given youth, wealth, and access to a new bohemian lifestyle on a seaside in Malibu. While his transformation at first feels intoxicating, the promise of freedom begins to fray and ultimately fracture. As Tony struggles to inhabit his new self, paranoia creeps in and the illusion of choice gives way to something far more unsettling. Shot in stark black-and-white with disorienting lenses and claustrophobic compositions, Seconds is less a sci-fi fantasy than an existential nightmare—an unsettling meditation on identity, conformity, and the seductive lie that starting over can save us from who we are. On this episode we discuss: McKay's work as a comedian, comedy writer, and filmmaker, his political and cinematic influences, the paranoid style of filmmaking in the 1960s, satire, the looming specter of climate apocalypse, why the world needs a Ho Chi Minh biopic, and much more. _____________________ We love to give book or film recommendations on the podcast, so here are ours for this episode:  Adam: Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident (2025) and Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan (2014)  Paul: A Little Solitaire: John Frankenheimer and American Film by Murray Pomerance and R.

Join us in reclaiming our narratives, celebrating our pioneers, and transforming public health through cultural pride. Your power begins with knowing who you are and whose stories you carry.Most Black pioneers in psychology remain invisible or misrepresented—and that erases a vital part of our history and future. This episode reveals how Dr. Robert Lee Williams II defied biased systems, reclaimed his intellectual legacy, and pioneered concepts that challenge dominant narratives—like coining Ebonics and creating the Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity.You'll discover how Williams's groundbreaking work disrupted racist testing practices, the real story behind the word Ebonics, and why understanding cultural context is essential for true public health equity. We break down how academic rebranding—like replacing Ebonics with aave *they don't get all caps from me* —acts as cultural erasure, and what it takes for us to reclaim our stories with pride and precision.This isn't just history—it's a blueprint for cultural sovereignty and mental wellness. If you're committed to anti-racism, community empowerment, or understanding the roots of Black intellectual brilliance, this episode offers a masterclass in resilience, radical authenticity, and the power of reframing.Peace, power, and perseverance — this episode is essential listening for those who refuse to be silent or sidelined. Keep your mind sharp and your mindset rooted in sovereignty. Public health is dope. So are you.#BlackHistoryMonth #BlackCulture #PublicHealth #BlackPsychology #Legacy

"What does it matter how present and future races will judge me? I have done my duty. I know my worth. That is enough for me." Jean-Jacques Dessalines's defiant words open this Black History Month episode of Entrepreneurial Appetite—a conversation about the revolutionary leader history tried to erase. Dr. Julia Gaffield, whose discovery of Haiti's Declaration of Independence made international headlines, joins us with special guest host Lloyd Kuykendoll to discuss why Dessalines deserves to be remembered as more than a warrior who secured Haiti's independence. This is the first English-language biography of the man who led the only successful slave revolution in history, and Dr. Gaffield reveals a figure of surprising complexity—loyal, witty, strategic, and deeply human. We explore why historians have overlooked him, what his story teaches us about the full arc of the Haitian Revolution, and why Haiti's Declaration of Independence—which imagined white skin as paper and blood as ink—needs to be read alongside America's founding document. Lloyd brings the passion of a veteran and self-taught historian who knows this work matters, creating moments of genuine emotion and insight. This conversation honors the rigorous work of Black scholars and their allies who are reclaiming our history, one archive at a time. During Black History Month and beyond, this is the scholarship that builds community, promotes intellectualism, and ensures our stories are told right.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/EA_BookClub

This episode of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a foundation stone:Burning Spear – Marcus Garvey.From there, Mr. E and Zionya step into one of the most important conversations of the entire series — Africa reclaiming itself.We break down the recent African coups, with a focused look at Burkina Faso and the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré, examining what self-determination looks like in real time when nations reject colonial control and economic extraction. The conversation connects African liberation directly to Jamaican independence, Garveyism, and Rastafarian consciousness, showing how reggae has always been the global messenger for these movements.This is not hype.This is history moving forward.The music that follows carries that same revolutionary spirit — roots, resistance, and reason — reminding us that reggae has always documented the fall of Babylon long before headlines caught up.

Every year, Long Beach claims to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.But last year, community leaders said the celebration missed the mark — failing to reflect the core of King's life's work: the liberation of Black people.In response to that criticism, Sixth District Councilmember Suley Saro helped restructure the event, bringing community members into planning committees. A new promotional video was released featuring African American Cultural Center board president Darick Simpson and Dr. Autrilla “Sheba” Gillis of The Sixth.The video emphasizes fairness and inclusion for all residents — but omits any direct reference to Black liberation, Black excellence, Black history, or Black pride, despite these themes being central to Dr. King's legacy and the reason this celebration exists in the first place.Requests for comment sent to Saro's office have gone unanswered. Committee members have voiced concerns — but mostly behind closed doors.So the question remains:Why is it so difficult to explicitly name Black liberation in a celebration honoring Dr. King? And who will fight to change it?This isn't about optics.It's about truth, accountability, and whether Long Beach is willing to honor Dr. King's legacy all year round, without watering it down.

International solidarity is at the heart of our hopes for fundamental, humane change in the US. There can be no revolution in values or in fact if progressive Americans wrap themselves in the myth of “exceptionalism” and stand aside from the global struggles leading the fight against imperialism and for peace and justice. We need to become comrades, standing together—shoulder-to-shoulder against a common enemy and toward a common goal. We join, then, a voluntary association characterized by enthusiasm and joy at being part of something larger than ourselves. We're not allies, functioning in service to, but rather comrades, acting in solidarity with. The biggest obstacle to authentic comradeship in US history—the third rail of American radical politics—is and always has been white supremacy, and tepid work toward International Solidarity and Black freedom. Comradeship in America emerges only from an unconditional embrace of Internationalism and Black Liberation. We are joined in conversation with Martha Biondi, the Lorraine H. Morton Professor of African American Studies and Professor of History at Northwestern University, author of The Black Revolution on Campus; To Stand and Fight: the Struggle for Civil Rights in Postwar New York City, and most recently, We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt and the Fight for African Liberationand Prexy Nesbitt, a Chicago organizer, engaged scholar, and activist who built (over several decades) international solidarity with African liberation movements fighting against colonialism and apartheid in Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa.

On today's show, guest host Kalonji Changa speaks with Mawuli Davis, renowned civil rights attorney, human rights organizer and author with over 30 years of experience in the Movement for Black Liberation and Whitley Carpenter, Senior Criminal Justice Counsel and Policy Manager for Forward Justice. She focuses on researching, developing and advocating for effective policy changes related to reducing racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Later in the show, we'll chat with Dhoruba bin Wahad, an American political activist and author, former leader of the New York Black Panther Party, and co-founder of the Black Liberation Army. He was one of the Panther 21 defendants charged in 1969 with conspiracy to attack New York City police stations. And finally, we'll speak with Jian White, filmmaker, memory worker, writer & organizer with the Mobilization 4 Mumia and several other affinity groups around Philadelphia, PA. — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post National Conference of Black Lawyers, Free Mumia and More w/ Guest Host Kalonji Changa appeared first on KPFA.

The Day After - Sept 22ndThis episode blended humour, sharp analysis, and cultural critique. The conversation began with Jay-Electronica's career and the rumours about his catalogue, leading into deeper reflections on faith, the Nation of Islam, and the way spirituality, science, and conspiracy theories intersect in Black communities .The panel then unpacked the enduring controversy around Dr. Umar Johnson - revisiting the legacy of his school project, questions over funding and accountability, and why, despite criticism, his voice still resonates in Black empowerment spaces .There were lively detours into UFO sightings and their symbolism, the politics of belief, and whether communities should even judge each other's doctrines. The show also tackled Candace Owens' commentary linking Charlie Kirk's death to broader political conspiracies, and how narratives are shaped both inside and outside the community .At its core, this was an episode about truth, legacy, and how cultural leaders - from artists to activists - are remembered and debated.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week's episode began as an investigation into a silly meme and quickly evolved into a crash course into the crossroads where the civil rights movement, Black Liberation Ideology and turn of the century occultism converged to produce the Nation of Islam whos mythic theology details a 6,000 year old big-headed black demiurgic creator being who invented the white race which, in said ideology, is sometimes referred to as “the devil.” In the free side of the show we will discuss the rise of Yakub as described by the Nation of Islam's longtime leader Elijah Mohamed, how aspects of this mythology are active and even pressing in today's cultural landscape and how big pockets of the civil rights movement root structure intersected with popular turn of the century occultism to produce Black Liberation Theology in America. In the extended show we start by indulging our inner history nerd and discover the factual basis upon which Yakub may have been based before settling in with our reading glasses and browse Elijah Mohamed's words in Message to the Blackman of America where the interesting details about Yakub's creations are described in vivid and hilarious detail.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Feb 24, 2019 Chuka Ejeckam joins Breht to discuss and pay homage to the Black Panther Party leader and Marxist Revolutionary, Fred Hampton. Fred Hampton was more than a charismatic leader—he was a revolutionary force of nature. In this episode, we explore the life, work, and assassination of the legendary Black Panther Party leader who united poor and working-class people across racial lines, organized tirelessly for liberation, and paid the ultimate price for daring to challenge the power structure. From the Free Breakfast Program to the Rainbow Coalition, we reflect on the enduring relevance of Hampton's organizing, his dialectical brilliance, and the fire he lit that continues to burn in struggles for liberation today.

In this powerful episode of the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Butch Ware, public intellectual, artist, activist, and former U.S. Vice Presidential candidate. From his upbringing in DC and Minneapolis to his deep immersion in West African Islamic traditions, Dr. Ware weaves personal stories with global liberation movements to deliver a compelling call to resist imperialism and build collective healing. He shares how Zionism functions as the last breath of white supremacist settler colonialism, the importance of faith, and the urgent need to reclaim spiritual resistance as a tool of decolonization. We also explore his deeply personal journey into Islam through Malcolm X, his academic work including The Walking Qur'an, and his bold political vision for restorative justice and unity across humanity. This episode is for educational purposes only. It provides historical and political analysis to inform and educate viewers.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Aug 1, 2019 Chuka Ejeckam joins Breht to discuss the one and only Malcolm X. In this episode, we honor the life, legacy, and radical clarity of Malcolm X, one of the most fearless and honorable figures in the struggle for Black liberation. From his early years shaped by systemic racism and incarceration, to his rise as a powerful voice within the Nation of Islam, and finally to his global awakening and revolutionary vision in the last years of his life—we trace the evolution of a profoundly courageous man who refused to be silenced. We dive into his speeches, his politics, his personal life, and the enduring impact of his message: one of dignity, self-determination, and uncompromising truth.

Before Dr. Fox takes the stage, civil rights activist and attorney Barbra Arnwine will share her powerful insights.

Send us a textIn his book The Squad, journalist Ryan Grim provides an account of the experiences of “The Squad,” a group of progressive legislators elected to the House of Representatives, as they attempted to govern. Their journey—from election victories to struggles with Republicans and Democratic leadership—is widely praised for its detailed investigation of the electoral and political “inside baseball” of the left. Grim's role as a critical figure in independent left media, through appearances on shows like Breaking Points and his publication Drop Site, further enhances the book's value as a vantage point for those interested in evaluating the rising establishment “Left” as a tool for advancing the interests of Black people and the Black community. It helps readers take stock of where the Left stands, where it might be going, and whether it can serve as a vehicle for achieving the Black community's goals.In conversation with Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle Director of Research Lawrence Grandpre, LBS Director of Public Policy Dayvon Love examines The Squad to uncover critical insights about both the Left and media analysis. Love highlights how the book reveals that, despite high-profile victories over Democratic Party establishment figures, the political Left suffers from a stunning lack of infrastructure. He links this to the Left's general failure to prioritize building political machinery and institutions. Grim's analysis of the Left's frustration with concepts like Tema Okun's “white supremacy culture” reflects the frustrations of grassroots advocates, who have seen anti-racism abstracts used by some to center conversations on personal feelings rather than delivering political outcomes for the communities they claim to serve.However, Love also critiques Grim's analysis, particularly his dismissal of cultural frameworks. In addressing Okun's “white supremacy culture,” Grim, like many on the Left, overcorrects by rejecting tools like African-centered analysis for political work. This is evident in his dismissal of Leonard Jeffries, the uncle of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, whom Grim labels an “antisemite.” This overlooks valid concerns Black community advocates have raised about white advocates monopolizing resources intended for the Black community under the guise of representing their interests. By dismissing such critiques as “antisemitism,” Grim ironically mirrors the tactics he criticizes liberals for using—employing blanket accusations to sideline political conversations that challenge entrenched interests.Support the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

Welcome to a sad episode about the sad state of our world. If you thought the nerds taking over for the jocks was a sign of liberation, think again. The spiteful nature of the nerds knows no limits and certainly knows even less about care. Referring at times to the now canceled 1984 movie Revenge of the Nerds, we read this fantasy into the new conservative self-made man, the one who "does their own research," but never rereads. Are algorithims and social media inducing us all to live as socially awkward nerds? And what about Trump, the famous nerd hater? Why and how does he use the broligarch tech nerds to fuel his spiteful reign? From the appropriation of Black Liberation to the fantasy of a justified rape, the revenge of the nerd hits several pressure points of our culture today. Special thanks to Jack for recommending this topic!

In this episode, we speak with Darryl Li about some of his essays. We begin by discussing his work and experiences in Palestine. His transformation from an NGO worker in the early 2000s to a scholar and political activist. Li explores the interpolation of Jewishness into a racial category globally. He also explores the Law of Return, which allows any Jew in the world to not only settle in Israel but also to enjoy superior rights to the land than Palestinians. The conversation covers the evolution of Palestinian armed resistance, particularly in Gaza, and the shift in Israeli strategies from direct occupation to economic strangulation and remote control bombardment. Li explains how Israel's reliance on Palestinian labor has fluctuated, leading to the importation of migrant workers from other countries, which weakened Palestinian leverage in resistance negotiations. He also addresses the impact of the Oslo Accords, which created the Palestinian Authority, and how it has undermined anti-Zionist critique by implicitly accepting Zionism. Additionally, Li touches on the intersection of the black freedom struggle and Jewish assimilation in the U.S., noting how Holocaust memory culture—in service of zionist imperialism—has helped elevate anti-Semitism above other forms of racial, ethnic, and religious antagonisms. Darryl Li is active in Palestine solidarity work in the United States as an organizer, lawyer, and writer. He lived in the Gaza Strip from 2001 to 2002 and made regular visits until 2011 working for various NGOs, especially the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights. Darryl's day job is teaching anthropology at the University of Chicago. He is the author of The Universal Enemy: Jihad, Empire, and the Challenge of Solidarity (Stanford University Press 2020).   To support our work please become a patron of the show for as little as $1 per month at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism   Links:   On Law and Racial Capitalism in Palestine    Disengagement and the Frontiers of Zionism   The Rise and Fall of Baby Boomer Zionism

The Uhuru 3 - Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel - will have a sentencing hearing on December 16 in Florida. Failing to find evidence to convict them of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the US Government manufactured a charge of conspiring to violate the law by thinking about it. There is no evidence to support this. This conviction creates a new level of state repression. Clearing the FOG speaks with Chairman Yeshitela about the case, the current political environment in the United States, including his opinions on the recent presidential election, and the recent events in the Sahel Region of Africa to decolonize the area.

Before the digital age, activists like Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass used their writing to expose injustice. Today, in the era of social media, smartphones now serve as powerful tools for counter-investigation—capturing evidence, connecting stories, and reaching diverse communities. How are artists, activists, and everyday people using these methods to fight for truth and justice, and what connection do Wells and Douglass have to this movement? Today's guest has got you covered. Michael Ralph is an anthropologist, filmmaker, and interdisciplinary scholar whose most recent work, a graphic novel called Before 13th, explores the little-known feud between Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass, particularly how their collaboration impacted the 13th Amendment and its effect on enslavement and modern-day incarceration.

In just 12 minutes, we break down how James Cone's Black Liberation Theology compares to African spiritual traditions rooted in Ancient Egypt. We'll also look at critiques of Cone's work, especially around its reliance on Western ideas, and discuss how scholars like Diop and Theophile Obenga offer a more Afrocentric perspective. Finally, we'll discuss how these ideas can help reshape the Black Church today. Listen in for a fresh look at Black theology and African spirituality!
