John Davidson has tourettes, specifically “coprolalia,” a kind of vocal tic that causes a person to compulsively say socially inappropriate things. His condition exploded into public consciousness, first with a movie based on John Davidson’s life, and then again when John shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA movie awards. The unfortunate incident has elicited outrage from defenders of racial justice and the disabled community alike. Many folks online are putting the blame in the wrong place (and there is a place to put it). We can hold understanding for disabilities AND acknowledge the harm this language causes the Black community. Our guest, Jumaane D. Williams, was the first person with tourettes to hold public office. He has served as Public Advocate since 2019, and as Council Member for the 45th District in Brooklyn beginning in 2010. He has passed more legislation than all previous Public Advocates combined. Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Mass Fiscal Alliance Foundation. Paul is known for his relentless advocacy on fiscal responsibility, governmental transparency, and energy policy throughout Massachusetts and the broader New England region. Leading a nonprofit dedicated to informing citizens and policymakers, Paul consistently delivers in-depth research and analysis on tax policy, regulatory issues, and the escalating costs of energy mandates. Through his work at Mass Fiscal, he seeks to encourage practical solutions that foster economic growth while respecting individual liberty. Jennifer and Paul explore the escalating utility costs impacting Massachusetts families and businesses as a result of the state’s net zero by 2050 mandate. This episode covers detailed findings from Mass Fiscal’s white papers and studies, revealing the controversial cost of climate policies and the lack of transparency from state leadership. Paul voices concern over the impact of green energy legislation, critiques the timeline for implementing policies until after key elections, and unpacks the consequences for local communities facing state overreach. Listeners will gain a comprehensive look at the debate over alternate energy, the real costs attributed to solar and wind, and the pattern of outmigration from Massachusetts due to economic burdens. The conversation challenges current leadership and calls attention to the need for reliable, affordable power solutions. “It’s obvious, right? A lot of times in politics your eyes and your ears hear and see things, but then you go with your gut. Then politicians tell you, ‘Don’t believe what you’re reading, what you’re seeing or what your gut is telling you’.” ~Paul Craney This week on Political Contessa: Net zero by 2050 as Massachusetts law and its ripple effects The fiscal reality: projected $815 billion cost for net zero implementation in New England Governor Healey’s delay of the Clean Heat Standard until after elections The increasing annual utility bills driven by climate policies The structure and consequences of Massachusetts’ solar incentives The new law overruling local zoning for battery installation and “battery factory” expansion The impact on businesses and families: outmigration and economic burden The necessity for government transparency and the consequences for a lack of accountability Connect with Paul Craney and Resources Mentioned: Mass Fiscal Alliance Foundation: https://fiscalalliancefoundation.org Mass Fiscal Alliance: https://massfiscal.org Fiscal Alliance Foundation on Social Media FacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube Mass Fiscal on Social Media FacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube Independent Women’s Forum (for further research and data) Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes back her friend, Kendall Qualls, a business entrepreneur, Army veteran, and candidate for governor of Minnesota. This episode is a clarion call for civil discourse around education, governance, and community values. Kendall's vision for Minnesota is one of revitalization, seeking to address the economic challenges that have driven significant outmigration and resident dissatisfaction, and emphasizing the need for accountability and strong leadership in the statehouse.Jennifer and Kendall explore the fallout from the recent $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota and how it reflects broader governance issues in blue states. The conversation pivots to examine the implications of such scandals in Massachusetts, highlighting alarming population decline driven by those same policies. They dissect the perils of unchecked spending on illegal immigration and its impact on local communities, underscoring the need for responsible fiscal management that serves the citizens. They explore the explosive social movements in Minnesota, questioning the motives behind activist-driven narratives and the implications of such activism on public safety and community relations. This episode offers a crucial perspective on the challenges posed by ideological extremism in the political landscape, particularly regarding education, societal values, and the harrowing racial division. “We’re not hyphenated Americans, so it’s time to stop acting like it.” ~Kendall Qualls Today on Political Contessa: The consequences of economic policies in blue states directly affect local families, leading to significant outmigration to states with more favorable economic conditions. The recent fraud scandals in Minnesota reveal systemic governance failures with no accountability from state leadership. Activist-driven narratives, especially regarding immigration and public safety, can obscure critical issues affecting citizen welfare. Disrupting educational practices and ideologies is essential to cultivating future generations capable of engaging meaningfully with history. Racial and social tensions have been exacerbated by political narratives, especially following significant national events over the past several years. There’s a pressing need for candidates like Kendall Qualls to infuse fresh perspectives and drive meaningful changes in traditionally blue states like Minnesota. A call for fiscal responsibility and a reassessment of welfare policies aimed at illegal immigrants is crucial to address rising costs for local residents. Understanding historical context and the identities of our founding figures remains vital for fostering national pride and unity.

On episode 119 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers team up with guest-host Dr. Reverend Jamal Bryant. Pastor Bryant held a groundbreaking joint sermon recently with his wife, Karri Bryant, for Valentines day. They cracked jokes and shared their wisdom for how to make a relationship last, which we’ll pass on to you.

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Early voting sites are being removed from North Carolina Universities, disenfranchising Black students. The SAVE Act heads to the Senate, the “Voter ID Law” threatens voting rights. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says DHS Will Help “Secure” Elections. The Olympic Village has run out of the 10,000 condoms it supples to athletes. Five Black surgeons lead the trauma unit at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital for the first time. We dedicate the majority of our show today to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson had a knack for showing up wherever Black folks were organizing; he showed up for our hosts multiple times to offer his support and mentorship. We’ll hear their personal stories about the reverend and more from his fabled life: Reverend Jackson grew up in poverty before rising through the church to carry on the work of MLK Jr., his mentor. He ran for president in the 80’s (which set the stage for Obama), championed progressive causes that were far ahead of his time, and created broad political alliances that last to this day. His impact cannot be overstated. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

You may know Kevin from his prolific social media presence, breaking news for more than half a million followers. He’s a writer, commentator, and host of HeresWhyKevin. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Megyn Kelly’s Bad Bunny rant on Piers Morgan – Kid Rock calls JZ was a “DEI Hire” – DHS and ICE chiefs (refuse to) answer questions at a Congressional Hearing – Trump’s Tariffs cost American families $1,000+ in 2025 – Congress reviews unredacted Epstein Files and Ghilaine Maxwell testifies. President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism.

Host Bakari Sellers recaps Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, the Puerto Rican singer gave a performance entirely in Spanish against the backdrop of a brutal deportation campaign occurring across the United States. The Trump Administration has said from the start that deportations would target primarily violent criminals, and Trump himself frequently claims that they’re deporting “the worst of the worst.” The reality looks far different, as revealed in a report from the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. AND Governor Wes Moore suggests that racism is the reason why he was singled out and uninvited to an annual meeting of governors at the White House. Want to ask Bakari a question?

What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade, Reverend Schenck has since come to regret his involvement with the religious right, which he describes as a “cult.” He now calls himself a “dissenting Evangelical organizer.” Our hosts ask the reverend what brought him around.

Hold up, so who’s allowed to carry a gun and who is not, because we thought y’all were supposed to be all about the second amendment??

In this week's episode, Jennifer discusses the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the troubling responses that followed on social and mainstream media. She dives into the alarming increase of hate speech, the breakdown of respectful discourse, and the pressing need for adults and leaders to set better examples for the next generation. The episode challenges both sides of the political spectrum for fueling divisiveness and emphasizes the difference between free speech and incitement. With passionate calls to restore civility and unite around shared values, Jennifer urges listeners to reject hatred and work collaboratively toward healing and progress in American democracy. “You don't just walk in and decide that the person who's there is wrong, and you are right, and you're going to take matters into your own hands.” ~Jennifer This week on Political Contessa: The assassination of Charlie Kirk and public reactions The urgent need to restore respect in political and personal life Generational influence on values and expectations Role models: the responsibility of leaders, educators, and parents Controversial commentary from both left and right Constitutional limits of free speech versus hate speech Impact of social media on fueling polarization How respect and civility can bring unity and progress Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

On this week’s SoloPod, Eddie “Papa” Rye joins his daughter to chat church protests and Super Bowl drama. Two more have been arrested in connection to the Church protest in St. Paul, Minnesota, Jerome Richardson and Ian Austin. Meanwhile, we’ll play a clip from a different church protest that the Trump administration has completely ignored, probably because the protester was a white preacher spouting racism. Speaking of ignorance, with the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, we’ll revisit a painful moment in NFL history for the Rye family (who are big Seahawk’s fans). The Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl, and the last time they were in the Super Bowl, they were ONE play away from glory when the unthinkable happened… Want to ask Angela a question?

On episode 116 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Elizabeth Booker Houston, attorney, viral comedian, and public health expert @bookersquared. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Alex Pretti Murdered by Federal Agents, Conservatives Divided in Their Response – Representatives Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost Attacked, Conservatives call it “Staged” – NLP Minneapolis Town Hall RECAP – Senate Dems to Close Government Over DHS Funding – Kanye Apologizes (to everyone) After Alex Pretti was murdered by a CBP officer in Minneapolis, conservatives in the Trump administration were quick to call Alex an assassin and a terrorist, in particular because he showed up to a protest with a gun. Hold up, so who’s allowed to carry a gun and who is not, because we thought y’all were supposed to be all about the second amendment?? They want some of us to have our rights, and others… not so much. The Black community is all too familiar with this phenomenon.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Ann Brensley, candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Adrienne Simeone, founder of the Mama Bear Effect nonprofit and a mother of four. Ann Brensley is recognized for her focus on parental involvement and educational policy reform, emphasizing the importance of family values in governance. Adrienne Simeone, an advocate for children’s safety and parental rights, leads the Mama Bear Effect and works to expose issues affecting children in schools, drawing from personal experience and her research into child protection and sexual abuse prevention. Jennifer, Ann, and Adrienne engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the controversial surveys and curriculum introduced to Massachusetts public school students, with explicit questions on gender identity and sexuality. They address parental rights, transparency in education, and the role of schools in students’ personal development. The episode explores the growing concern about inappropriate content and lack of parental opt-in, how mental health issues in youth are addressed, and the importance of moral courage among parents advocating for their children’s safety. Controversial comments include critiques of sex education materials, frustration with limited parental control, and comparisons of certain school survey practices to child abuse. The conversation ends with actionable advice for parents and candidates seeking to effect change in their communities and legislative systems. "It teeters to me on not only outrageous and unbelievable and disgusting, but it teeters on almost child porn and child abuse. To ask a child those questions." ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: Parental involvement and transparency in school curricula State-mandated surveys with explicit sexual questions for minors Opt-in versus opt-out legislation for sensitive school topics Concerns about the normalization of gender and sexuality topics in schools Impact of mental health issues on adolescent identity Empowering parents to speak up at school committees and run for office The role of social media and information access in shaping youth behaviors Strategies for parents to communicate and advocate within their communities Connect with Anne Brensley: Anne Brensley for Lieutenant Governor Connect with Adrienne Simeone:Mama Bear Effect Website Mama Bear Effect on Facebook and Instagram Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Bryan Maxwell is one of the 10 people hoping to represent the Democratic Party in this fall's election for outgoing Senator Dick Durbin's seat. Known for supporting anti-war causes, he shares his views on military spending, economic sanctions in other countries, and being a socialist.

Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania.

On episode 115 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest host, Don Lemon. Conservatives (including recent convert Nicki Minaj) are calling for Don’s arrest after he covered a protest that occurred inside of a church. We’ll talk with him about the incident and so much more… FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Trump gives a deranged Greenland speech at Davos. – Is Donald Trump Okay? Recent statements call his mental acuity into question. – Minnesota Police Officers say they are NOT safe with ICE – Why is the NCAA Football Championship team SO Old? – Pro Palestine: NFL Player Fined – Nicki Minaj Calls for the Arrest of Don Lemon – How Dems Expect Us to React When They Cuss Is it OK to protest inside of a church? That’s exactly what happened earlier this week when protestors in St. Paul disrupted a church service. The pastor for the church is a field director for the local ICE office. Don Lemon covered this protest as a journalist and rightwing media is now calling him a criminal for it. That’s obviously bull sh*t but do WE think it’s OK to protest at church?? Our hosts debate… 24 members of Congress are 80 or older, and many of them are running for re-election. We’ve seen politicians on both sides of the aisle (Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, to name a few) who continue to work and hold senior positions when it’s CLEAR they are no longer fit. Should there be an age limit for Congress? How to we foster and recruit youth?

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Professor Marc Defant from the University of South Florida. Marc is a renowned geology and geochemistry professor specializing in the study of volcanoes, the geochemistry of volcanic rocks, and mantle processes. With decades of experience researching volcanoes worldwide—including Russia—Marc has recently explored the intersection of evolutionary psychology and feminist studies. He is the author of the peer-reviewed paper, "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor," which challenges mainstream academic views on social construction, feminism, and scientific rigor in sociocultural discourse. Jennifer and Marc dig into the controversial relationship between evolutionary psychology and modern feminist theories. Marc shares his perspective on how biological evolution shaped human social structures, including the origins of patriarchy, mate selection criteria, and gender dynamics both in ancestral and contemporary societies. They discuss the clash between scientific rigor and politically motivated ideologies within academic feminist studies, particularly around issues like social construction, beauty, health, and fat studies. The episode also explores societal trends like the impact of "safe at any size" movements, generational shifts in health and education, and Marc’s critique of wokeism and its ties to gender representation in professional fields. This conversation is packed with candid observations, scientific reasoning, and reflections on how political culture often overshadows empirical evidence in academia. "One thing a lot of women don't realize is back in a hunter gather society, you were either breastfeeding a baby, lactating, or having another child. They stayed pregnant until they couldn't have children anymore. So that's created a society that we have today where men are in leadership roles." ~Marc Defant This week on Political Contessa: The evolutionary psychology behind patriarchy and gender-based social roles Issues of empirical rigor in feminist studies and social construction theory How societal expectations about beauty and health intersect with biology Discussion of “safe at any size” and health implications for younger generations Contrast between male and female approaches to competition and leadership The impact of generational upbringing, career shifts, and family structures on women’s choices Wokeism, gender dominance in professional fields, and freedom of speech Insights on mate selection and resource investment across cultures Connect with Marc Defant: Website: https://www.marcdefant.com University of South Florida Faculty Profile: https://usf.academia.edu/MarcDefant ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marc-Defant Peer-reviewed paper: "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor" (contact Marc for access) Resources Mentioned: Robert Wright’s "The Moral Animal" Helen Andrews’ essay “The Great Feminization” for Compact Magazine Corey Clark’s research on polling and gender differences in views on free speech Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

The chair of the Federal Reserve, which sets our nationwide interest rates, is under investigation by the Trump administration.

Let’s back it up, what does the Federal Reserve do again? Why is their independence important, and why are our hosts so SHOCKED by Jerome Powell’s statement?

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Susan Molinari and Beth Brooke to dive into the shocking disparities and outdated standards in the way car safety is measured for women in the United States. They reveal that despite decades of progress, female crash test dummies are still largely absent from critical safety testing, putting women at greater risk of injury and death. They address controversial facts such like the continued use of “shrink it and pink it” dummy models, the bureaucratic inertia at NHTSA, and the international success of advanced female crash dummies in the EU and Asia, where substantial reductions in female traffic fatalities have been achieved. Calling for bipartisan legislative action, they highlight the “She Drives Act,” and encourage listeners to bring pressure to Congress and the Department of Transportation, and challenge listeners to take activism into their own hands by educating themselves and demanding accountability from policymakers and automakers. Susan Molinari is a former U.S. congresswoman and Google VP of public policy, renowned for her commitment to public service and policy innovation. Beth Brooke is the former EY Global Vice Chair and has been recognized as one of Forbes’ World's 100 Most Powerful Women. Her global leadership and dedication to equity are widely celebrated. Together, they have spearheaded a movement aimed at transforming government standards around vehicle safety for women, drawing on their experiences in Congress and international corporate leadership. In 1970 is when the United States government first started with crash test dummies. It wasn't until 20 years later that they realized that women got in cars also. And so instead of taking all the biofidelic differences we have between men and women, they just what we call shrink it and pink it.” ~ Susan Molinari This week on Political Contessa: Female crash test dummies are absent from primary vehicle safety testing standards The “She Drives Act” aims to mandate gender-equitable vehicle safety testing Bureaucratic delays in rulemaking risk prolonged inequities in car safety for women Advanced female crash test dummies are already producing results in Europe and parts of Asia Status quo “shrink it and pink it” dummy models fail to capture women’s biomechanical differences Women are 73% more likely to be severely injured and 17% more likely to die in car accidents Congressional and administrative inertia can be disrupted by grassroots advocacy and awareness Social media activism and direct outreach to representatives are critical for legislative accountability Connect with Susan Molinari and Beth Brooke: Women Drive, Too website Women Drive, Too on Instagram: @WomenDriveToo Women Drive, Too on Facebook: @WomenDriveToo Resources mentioned: She Drives Act (pending bipartisan legislation) NHTSA crash test standards Thor 5 advanced female crash test dummy statistics and implementation in the EU Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

We heard y’all want us to get to more topics, well, here we go: For Your Situational Awareness Pastor Jamal Bryant catches heat for his wife’s dress? MAGA-coded CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil bombs on his first day. Incumbent Tim Walz Drops Out of the Minnesota governor race. Trump accidentally gives Democrats their best ad for the midterms. War in Venezuela? What’s it really about? What the heck is happening with Venezuela?? Trump has declared that the United States is going to control the country. Whose interests does this supposed occupation serve, how did we reach this point, and where could we be headed? Random as they may seem, there is a throughline through all the global conflicts the US gets involved in… Is it AI-generated? Our hosts play a game to see if they can detect which video is AI. AI content and devices in general had our families in a chokehold this holiday season, especially our elders. How about you? Let us know in the comments!

On this week’s SoloPod, we mark the 5th anniversary of the attack on the US Capital building by a mob of Trump supporters–the infamous January 6th insurrection. At the start of his second term, Trump issued a blanket pardon to the J6 insurrectionists, releasing them from prison. The pardons are a part of MAGA’s ongoing effort to rewrite the history of J6 and downplay the violent actions of those involved. Check out how the White House is “commemorating” January 6th: https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/ Today's guest is one of the Capital Police officers who defended the capital building and fought with the rioters. He testified to Congress about what he saw that day, wrote a memoir about his experience, and run for public office in Maryland. His testimony is vital now more than ever.

Angela Rye is joined by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX 30) for a frank convo about the criticism regarding her campaign for Senate. Rep. Crockett sees a clear path to victory by studying recent history, Beto O’Rourkes run for a Texas Senate seat in 2018. We’ll dive into the numbers and get a behind-the-scenes look at Crockett’s conversations with the other Democrats in the race, like Colin Allred, who dropped out following Crockett’s announcement.

THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL: CLASS WARFARE AND THE BLACK VOTE Colleague David Pietrusza. Alf Landonproved a poor campaigner, taking long vacations and delivering ineffective radio speeches. Conversely, Eleanor Roosevelt became a powerful surrogate, campaigning for the black vote in the North, even as Franklin refused to support anti-lynching laws to appease Southern Democrats. The campaign climaxed with Roosevelt's Madison Square Garden speech, where he utilized "class warfare" rhetoric, welcoming the hatred of "economic royalists." Although polls suggested a tightening race and the administration worried about the ongoing Depression, Roosevelt's "naked demagoguery" and energetic campaigning energized his base against the wealthy interests opposing him. NUMBER 7

On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers talk about holding our elected leaders accountable AND the moments when we hold our leaders to impossible standards. We saw this on flagrant display with some of the critiques of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett after she announced her run for senate.

On episode 110 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers reflect on the life of famous Hollywood producer, director, actor, Rob Reiner. Tiffany and Andrew knew Rob, and all of our hosts were affected by his work ever since his first role as Meathead in All In The Family. We’re going to tell some Rob stories, and yes, the shocking comments that Trump made about Rob and his wife Michelle after they were found dead in their homes, with their son arrested on suspicion of their murder. How do the conservative Christians square this stunning lack of empathy? The coach of the Michigan University football team, Sherrone Moore, was fired recently for having a relationship with a subordinate. After he was fired, he had a pretty serious crash-out that landed him in jail. Our hosts share some of their most epic crash outs and discuss whether Moore’s affair partner should also face consequences from their employer. The shooting at Brown University last week left two dead, nine wounded, and the entire student body rattled. This one hit close to home; Angela’s godson, Efe Elaiho, is a freshman at Brown and was nearby the shooting. We’ll get a firsthand perspective on what it’s like to live through an event like this, the misinformation that flies around in the moments after, and what it’s like going through a school system where shootings have become tragically common. We’re trying to be better about getting to your questions and comments y’all, and we will get to one about patriotism today!

On this week’s SoloPod, Angela Rye is joined by Damario Solomon-Simmons to discuss Mother Fletcher’s passing. Viola “Mother” Fletcher was one of the last survivors of the Tulsa Massacre and (with Damario’s help) a powerful advocate for reparations. Damario walks us through the ongoing fight for reparations PLUS a call to action for your holiday season: capture your families oral histories. We’ll get some tips on how to be intentional about asking your elders about their past. You can pre-order Damario’s debut book, Redeem A Nation, where books are sold. Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons is a civil and human rights attorney, movement strategist, and author. He is the Founder and President of Justice for Greenwood and serves as legal counsel for the last known living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. His work prompted the first-ever U.S. Department of Justice review of the massacre, helped secure the City of Tulsa’s $105 million Greenwood Trust, and played a key role in restoring citizenship rights to Black Creek Indians.
