A new documentary is aiming to lift the lid on the unrecognised Black heroes of D-Day. It follows an all-African American battalion of men whose crucial role in the Normandy landings was never revealed. One member of the company was even nominated for a Medal of Honor, but amid racial segregation in the US at the time, it was impossible for him to ever be granted it. The documentary follows the work chronicled already in a book, "Forgotten: The Untold Story of D-Day's Black Heroes". Its author Linda Harvieux joined us for Perspective.

This Day in Legal History: Jay Treaty SignedOn this day in legal history, February 29, 1796, the Jay Treaty, also known as the Treaty of London, was formally proclaimed, marking a significant moment in the post-Revolutionary War era between the United States and Great Britain. Negotiated by John Jay, the U.S. Chief Justice at the time, the treaty aimed to resolve lingering tensions and disputes that had persisted since the end of the war, particularly regarding territorial claims, trade relations, and maritime rights. The agreement facilitated the withdrawal of British forces from frontier forts in the Northwest Territory, which they had continued to occupy, in violation of the Treaty of Paris of 1783.The treaty also addressed American grievances related to British seizures of American ships and cargo, which had been a major source of conflict between the two nations. In return, the United States offered most-favored-nation trading status to Great Britain, an important economic concession that allowed for British goods to enter the U.S. market under favorable terms. Additionally, the treaty established a commission to resolve outstanding border disputes along the Canada–United States border and agreed to compensate American merchants for losses due to British ship seizures.Despite its diplomatic successes, the Jay Treaty faced significant opposition within the United States, particularly from supporters of Thomas Jefferson who viewed it as too conciliatory to British interests and a betrayal of France, America's ally during the Revolutionary War. The treaty's ratification in the Senate and subsequent implementation, however, played a crucial role in averting a potential war with Great Britain, solidifying the United States' sovereignty, and enhancing its economic independence. Thus, the Jay Treaty stands as a pivotal agreement that helped define the early foreign policy of the United States, ensuring peace with Great Britain while establishing a framework for handling international disputes through diplomacy rather than conflict.A federal judge in Texas has ruled against a new Texas law, SB 4, which allowed for the arrest and removal of migrants entering the U.S. without proper documentation, declaring it infringes on the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration. This decision, a victory for the Biden administration, comes from Senior US District Judge David Ezra, who also issued a preliminary injunction to prevent the law from taking effect as scheduled. Judge Ezra highlighted that permitting Texas to enact its own immigration policies would effectively nullify federal law, emphasizing the problems with allowing states to have their own disparate immigration laws. The ruling, subject to appeal by Texas to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, underscores a significant clash between state and federal visions of immigration enforcement. Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has been a vocal advocate for state-level enforcement, citing high numbers of border crossings as justification. However, the law has faced criticism for potentially leading to a fragmented approach to immigration, similar to previous legal challenges against similar laws in other states.Texas Immigration Law Struck Down by Judge in Win for BidenA California state judge has made a tentative ruling that allows nearly 6,000 Black workers at Tesla's Fremont factory to sue the electric vehicle manufacturer collectively over allegations of widespread racial discrimination and harassment. This decision by Judge Noel Wise centers on the accusation that Tesla was cognizant of the misconduct but failed to address it. The lawsuit, initiated by former assembly line worker Marcus Vaughn in 2017, claims that Black employees were subjected to racial slurs, graffiti, and nooses at their workstations. Tesla has yet to respond to the ruling but has previously stated its zero tolerance for workplace harassment, asserting that it has terminated employees found guilty of racial harassment. The ruling, which Tesla has an opportunity to contest, sets the stage for a potential multimillion-dollar judgment against the company and schedules a trial for October. This case is part of a broader legal challenge Tesla faces regarding racial bias, including a separate lawsuit by a California state civil rights agency and federal court claims by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Additionally, Tesla is appealing a $3.2 million jury verdict awarded to another Black former employee in a related racial harassment case.Tesla must face race bias class action by 6,000 Black US workers | ReutersA novel legal technology venture, Bench IQ, founded by legal tech entrepreneur Jimoh Ovbiagele and former Kirkland & Ellis partner Jeffrey Gettleman, aims to revolutionize how lawyers prepare for court by using artificial intelligence to analyze and predict judges' decision-making patterns. This Toronto-based startup has successfully secured $2.1 million in pre-seed funding from a mix of law firms and venture capital firms. Bench IQ's technology promises to provide comprehensive insights into judges' rulings, not limited to their written opinions, by employing large language model-based AI. Although specifics about the technology and data are under wraps due to pending patents, the company has already attracted 12 large law firms as pilot customers. Bench IQ offers flexible pricing models tailored to the needs of different law firms. The venture is entering a competitive market of AI-based legal services but distinguishes itself by focusing on explaining judges' legal reasoning rather than just describing it. This initiative represents a significant step forward in legal research, offering a tool that could potentially change the standard approach to legal arguments and courtroom strategy.New legal AI venture promises to show how judges think | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case regarding Donald Trump's claim of immunity from criminal prosecution related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. This decision puts a temporary hold on the criminal case led by Special Counsel Jack Smith and will examine the extent of presidential immunity for actions taken while in office. The Court of Appeals previously ruled against Trump's claim, emphasizing the limits of executive power and the importance of election integrity. Scheduled for oral arguments in April, this case is significant as Trump, a leading Republican candidate for the upcoming election, faces multiple criminal charges. These include accusations of conspiring to defraud the United States and obstructing the congressional certification of Joe Biden's victory. Trump argues that presidential immunity is crucial for a president's effective functioning and to prevent post-office prosecutions, which he views as politically motivated. The Supreme Court's involvement in this and related cases highlights its central role in addressing issues surrounding the 2020 election and its aftermath, including a case that could affect Trump's charges directly.US Supreme Court to decide Trump criminal immunity claim in 2020 election case | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

She told him his dad was in America, a land of flying cars and ice cream mountains — and that was where Milton wanted to be, too. Milton's story continues.

In this article Bill has shared that why emotionally intelligent people are still following 13 Rules of Leadership by Colin Powell. I have shared points Bill mentioned in the article in the video above. I am amazed by the way Bill has brilliantly described why these rules are so meaningful to 'Emotionally Intelligent people'.

This week, we look at how vaccine mandates and other issues related to the coronavirus pandemic are fueling resignations and dissent among state employees, law enforcement, and other segments of the population.  This week, concern erupted around a recent Financial Times report indicating that China had been revealed to have tested a new hypersonic weapon capable of traveling 21,000 miles per hour... but were the reports true? We look at what the Chinese Foreign Ministry had to say, as well as what U.S. Intelligence Officials say about why America is falling behind in its own hypersonics development. We also touch on the recent passing of Colin Powell and his legacy, and other items in the news.  However, the main focus this week has to do with resignations and revolts occurring around the United States, as state employees in California show fewer percentages of vaccinated than the general population, police forces push back against vaccine mandates, and the private sector is going on strike against work conditions. In light of all this, it's no surprise that two professors are saying that we're already entering a financial depression on par with the slump seen in 2008... we wade into all of this, and more on this week's installment of Middle Theory.

Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state whose leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, has died from complications from Covid-19, his family said on Facebook. He was 84. "General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family wrote on Facebook, noting he was fully vaccinated. Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response, as well as Parkinson's, Peggy Cifrino, Powell's longtime chief of staff, confirmed to CNN. Even if fully vaccinated against Covid-19, those who are immunocompromised are at greater risk from the virus. "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American," the family said. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colin Powell, 1st Black US Secretary of State, dies at 84 of COVID-19 complications. Colin Powell, the barrier-breaking soldier and diplomat who served Democratic and Republican presidents in war and peace but whose sterling reputation was stained by his faulty claims to justify the U.S. war in Iraq, died Monday of COVID-19 complications. He was 84. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Powell spent 35 years in the Army and rose to the rank of four-star general. In 1989, he became the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In that role he oversaw the U.S. invasion of Panama and later the U.S. invasion of Kuwait to oust the Iraqi army in 1991. A decade later he joined President George W. Bush's Cabinet as the first Black secretary of state. "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American," the Powell family. Powell had been treated at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Peggy Cifrino, Powell's longtime aide, said he had been treated over the past few years for multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. The Powell family's social media post did not address whether Powell had any underlying illnesses. Multiple myeloma impairs the body's ability to fight infection, and studies have shown that those cancer patients don't get as much protection from the COVID-19 vaccines as healthier people. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

For many months now, they have tried to keep hidden the truth about COVID death rates, telling us that vaccines will keep us safe, but nothing of the kind is the actual truth. In dystopian Australia, they are now telling their fully vaccinated citizens to 'go out and catch COVID' to boost their immune systems...what tha???? Join us today on the Prophecy News Podcast where the Truth will always make you free. Breaking news this morning in Washington as it's revealed that Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state, has died this morning from complications of COVID-19. Colin Powell was fully vaccinated with the vaccine that the New World Order vaccine police promise us will keep us safe. But it's not just Colin Powell, in fact, the wheels are coming off of the whole vaccine bus as as 'the science' is now exposing the whole, sorry mess.

Black US farmers dismayed as white farmers' lawsuit halts relief payments. The US Department of Agriculture was scheduled to begin sending out payments to Black and minority farmers this month, as part of a $4bn loan forgiveness program included in the $1.9tn coronavirus relief bill that passed Congress in March. But a lawsuit on behalf of white farmers accusing the Biden administration of discrimination has, at least temporarily, stopped the checks, prompting dismay among Black farmers and campaigners. The money, intended as a way to address more than 100 years of discriminatory practices and policies that have historically and disproportionately disadvantaged Black owners of farmland, is now being held up due to an injunction granted this month by a federal judge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

Professor Emily C. Burns, Terra Foundation Visiting Professor in American Art, gives the third in the series of The Terra Lectures in American Art: Performing Innocence: US Artists in Paris, 1865-1914. Performing Innocence: Primitive / Incipient The Terra Lectures in American Art: Performing Innocence: US Artists in Paris, 1865-1914 Moderator: James Smalls, Professor and Chair of Visual Arts, University of Maryland, Baltimore County Between the end of the US Civil War and the start of World War I, thousands of American artists studied and worked in Paris. While popular thought holds that they went to imbibe culture and attain artistic maturity, in this four-part lecture series, Professor Emily Burns explores the various ways that Americans in Paris performed instead a cultural immaturity that pandered to European expectations that the United States lacked history, tradition, and culture. The lectures chart knowing constructions of innocence that US artists and writers projected abroad in both art practice and social performance, linking them to ongoing conversations about race, gender, art making, modernity, physio-psychological experience, evolutionary theory, and national identity in France and in the United States. Interwoven myths in art and social practice that framed Puritanism; an ironically long-standing penchant for anything new and original; primitivism designed by white artists' playing with ideas of Blackness and Indigeneity; childhood's incisive perception; and originary sight operated in tandem to turn a liability of lacking culture into an asset. In analyzing the mechanisms of these constructions, the lectures return to the question about the cultural work these ideas enacted when performed abroad. What is obscured and repressed by mythical innocence and feigned forgetting? Abstract: Projections of different ideas of innocence became entangled in the representation of Black US character in fin-de-siècle Paris. By pairing new research on blackface minstrelsy and painter Henry Ossawa Tanner in the American Art Association of Paris with the displays of Blackness curated by Black intellectuals in the “Exhibit of American Negroes” in the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900, Professor Burns argues that American minstrelsy in Paris built a racialized “primitive” identity that caricatured Black men as effeminate and emasculated, while the latter exhibit constructed innocence grounded in claims of youth, newness, and incipient culture. While the curators staunchly and effectively rejected narratives of primitivism, these tropes of the new simultaneously paralleled and reinforced performances of cultural innocence in the largely white US community in Paris. Biographies: Emily C. Burns is an Associate Professor of Art History at Auburn University where she teaches courses on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American, Native American, and European art history. Her publications include a book, Transnational Frontiers: the American West in France (University of Oklahoma Press, 2018), which analyzes appropriations of the American West in France in performance and visual and material culture in the tripartite international relationships between the United States, France, and the Lakota nation between 1867 and 1914, as well as journal articles, exhibition catalogue essays, and book chapters related to art and circulation, US artists in France, and American impressionism. She is currently completing a co-edited volume with Alice Price on global impressionisms entitled Mapping Impressionist Painting in Transnational Contexts (forthcoming from Routledge). During her tenure as the Terra Foundation for American Art Visiting Professor in the Department of History of Art at the University of Oxford and a Visiting Fellow at Worcester College, Professor Burns will complete her second book, Performing Innocence: Cultural Belatedness and U.S. Art in fin-de-siècle Paris. Dr. James Smalls is an art historian, with a focus on the intersections of race, gender, and queer sexuality in the art and visual culture of the nineteenth century, as well as the art and visual culture of the black diaspora. He is the author of Homosexuality in Art (Parkstone Press, 2003) and The Homoerotic Photography of Carl Van Vechten: Public Face, Private Thoughts (2006). He has published essays in a number of book anthologies and prominent journals, including American Art, French Historical Studies, Third Text, Art Journal, and Art Criticism. His book chapters and articles include: Menace at the Portal: Masculine Desire and the Homoerotics of Orientalism (2016), The Soft Glow of Brutality (2015), A Teacher Uses Star Trek for Difficult Conversations on Race and Gender (2015), Racial Antics in Late Nineteenth-Century French Art and Popular Culture (2014), Sculpting Black Queer Bodies and Desires: The Case of Richmond Barthé (2013), and Exquisite Empty Shells: Sculpted Slave Portraits and the French Ethnographic Turn (2013). Smalls is currently completing a book entitled Féral Benga: African Muse of Modernism. In 2006, Smalls curated a two-part exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art on the art, career, and international influence of the African American artist, Henry Ossawa Tanner. In 2009-2010, he served as the Consulting Editor for the five-volume set of The Grove Encyclopedia of American Art. In 2015 he was appointed to the Advisory Board for The Archives of American Art Journal. Dr. Smalls holds degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in Ethnic Arts (B. A.), and Art History (M. A., and Ph.D.). He has taught at Rutgers University, Columbia University, and at the University of Paris.

The use of force amounts to brutality in a number of cases cited in the podcast. Only 3% of police are convicted of killing, in most cases unarmed Black US citizens despite many of the incidents are captured on video. When will justice be equal for people of color in America.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I'm Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford. Coming up: A professor at Morgan State University sees today's Black Americans as still living in the wake of slavery. He calls social activism “wake work.” And, a professor of theology believes t  hat religion remains a great resource for social transformation, despite the great harm perpetrated by organized religion over the centuries. But first -- Ajamu Baraka, national organizer for the Black Alliance for Peace, recently spoke at a webinar put together by the Dissenters organization. The subject: How the new Democratic administration is attempting to refurbish and strengthen the Euro-American world order, under the leadership of US Imperialism. Dr. Corey Miles teaches sociology and anthropology at Morgan State University, in Baltimore. He says today's Black US population is living in the “wake” of centuries of slavery, and that the work activists are doing now should be called “WAKE work.” “Wake” is not the same as “woke” – but Professor Miles says both concepts can be understood through Hip Hop.   Dr. Vincent Lloyd, a professor of theology and Africana Studies at Villanova University, says a progressive, liberationist theology can be useful to the movements against both police repression and U.S. imperial wars. However, Dr. Lloyd acknowledges that Christianity is a two-edged sword. Jesus is often called the Prince of Peace, but hundreds of millions have been killed or enslaved in the name of Christianity.

This week on the podcast, we have Dr. Gail P. Myers a cultural anthropologist who earned her Doctorate in Anthropology from Ohio State University. She is the Co-founder of Farms to Grow, which is dedicated to working with Black farmers and underserved sustainable farmers around the country and bridging that gap between the generations. One of her projects I'm most excited about is the launch of the multimedia documentary project called Rhythms of the Land. This documentary honors the Black US farmers, sharecroppers, and gardeners to spotlight the connection between biological and cultural diversity connecting us to our roots, especially for our future farmers, and youth.

Host Pedro Gatos is joined by Dr. H Bruce Franklin, an American cultural historian, scholar, and author of 19 books. The two discuss the provocative article, "Which Side Are You On?" by Bruce Franklin, recently published in Counterpunch on 8/21/20. Dr Franklin provides a compelling historical context that describes how the 13th, 14th,  and 15th  Amendments were undermined by the post- Reconstruction Supreme Court, which legalized both the ‘re-enslavement' and the disenfranchisement of a substantial proportion of our Black US citizenry.

Such an incredibly insightful and positive conversation with Kevin Greene from Greensboro North Carolina. He and his fiancée have been out at four different protests documenting this incredible time in our history. I loved talking with Kevin and listening to his journey to becoming a band director and how he is affecting positive change by working among our youth!
