Podcasts about Black history

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.

Noelle Lorraine Williams is a New Jersey-based artist, historian and director of the African American History Program and the Black Heritage Trail for the New Jersey State Historical Commission. Williams has dedicated much of her career to preserving New Jersey Black history from the 19th century, reminding residents that Black History in the Garden State began well before the Great Migration. Williams discusses the mission behind her work, as well as an ongoing exhibition she's organized at the Newark Museum of Art, "Stay: The Black Women of 19th‑Century Newark."

TikTok creator Taylor Cassidy joins host Carol Jenkins to discuss her new book, Black History is Your History—a powerful exploration of influential African American figures and their lasting impact on society.

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. Plus, a man was detained by ICE on his way to the Eagles-Chiefs game, PHL airport has some good and bad news, and Valley Forge Military Academy is set to close. Matt Leon digs into those headlines and more with KYW's news team. 00:00 Intro 02:00 Historic sites grapple with federal mandates to remove slavery references 06:50 Philly man set to be deported after being detained by ICE on his way to the Eagles-Chiefs game 12:51 Valley Forge Military Academy will close at the end of this academic year 17:28 Phillies are NL East champs again and heading to the playoffs 23:06 PHL reveals rebrand, while being ranked last in survey on North American airports 28:56 KYW celebrates 60 years of all-news radio To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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 . . . I used to always seem like I would always take the side of the underdog.” - Akinsanya KambonGuest:  Akinsanya Kambon, Artist, Former Marine, Black Panther & Art Professor Additional Credits:Additional Crew:  Marco Amador, Producciones Cimarrón Clips from the documentary short- "Akinsanya Kambon The Hero Avenges," Produced by The Hammer Museum;  Directed by Gabriel Noguez and Sean Rowry.Special thanks: Cynthia Wornham, Annie Philbin, Marc Selwyn Fine Art  Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Trymaine Lee joins Shifting Culture to talk about his new book A Thousand Ways to Die and the true cost of violence in America. Known as a griot of Black survival and death, Trymaine has spent decades reporting on the lives and communities most affected by gun violence. But when he suffered a sudden heart attack at just 38, he was forced to reckon with the weight of the trauma he had carried in his body and in his family's history of generational loss. In this conversation, Trymaine traces the roots of America's cycles of violence back to slavery, systemic racism, and disinvestment, showing how those forces still shape families and neighborhoods today. He also shares how identity, mentorship, and joy can disrupt the cycle, and why nothing stops a bullet like dignity, opportunity, and love. This episode is heavy, but it's also filled with hope. Because as Trymaine reminds us, there may be a thousand ways to die, but there are also a thousand ways to live.Trymaine Lee is a Pulitzer Prize and Emmy award winning journalist and MSNBC contributor. He's the host of the “Into America” podcast where he covers the intersection of Blackness, power, and politics. A contributing author to the “1619 Project”, he has reported for The New York Times, the Huffington Post, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

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.
