Born on July 25, 1941, Emmett Till was a fun-loving 14-year-old when he was abducted and murdered in Mississippi in 1955. His death, following false accusations, became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. On what would have been his 84th birthday, we reflect on the life and legacy of Emmett Till.

Brittany Friedman is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Southern California. She is also a 2023-2024 American Association of University Women faculty postdoctoral fellow and an Affiliated Scholar of the American Bar Foundation, whose writing and other work have been featured by The Washington Post, C-SPAN, NPR, The Associated Press, and Vox. Her new book is Carceral Apartheid: How Lies and White Supremacists Run Our Prisons. Dr. Friedman explains how America is a type of “carceral society” where the logic and organizing principles of prison and racialized power dominate the culture. Dr. Friedman shares the lessons she learned from the intimate conversations she had with elders who had been incarcerated (in some of the country's most infamous and dangerous prisons in California) during the Civil Rights Movement and long Black Freedom Struggle and that helped to organize prisoners' rights organizations. These are essential lessons that pro-democracy Americans will need for navigating life in a time of rising autocracy and authoritarianism. Chauncey DeVega shares a tale about his recent travels during a particularly hollow July 4th holiday, gains some life wisdom, and continues pondering what it means to be the working-class child of an aging parent. Chauncey also reflects on questions of moral culpability and how so many of us are already “Good Americans” who have been deeply and perhaps forever stained by their tacit and active complicity with evil.   And Chauncey DeVega goes to the movies and shares his review of James Gunn's (not so super) new Superman movie.

Was Jim Crow really a “blessing in disguise” for Black Americans? In this episode of Black Talk Radio News, host Scotty Reid confronts the revisionist narrative promoted by Dr. Claude Anderson and others who suggest segregation was a time of Black prosperity. We dig into Anderson's family legacy with Safe Bus Company in Winston-Salem, explore whether their success was the norm or an exception, and ask why there's no record of their support for the Civil Rights Movement, despite benefiting from the gains it produced. Scotty also challenges Anderson's economic theory that wealth must precede political power, raising concerns about how that logic mirrors today's super PAC and billionaire-controlled political landscape. This episode calls for accountability from those in Black media and scholarship who perpetuate myths that undermine the legacy of civil rights fighters and mislead new generations. Video Version:

This episode continues the story of NORAID - the Irish American organisation who were the voice of the IRA in the US. Jamie Goldrick and I delve into the complicated history of wider Irish American involvement in the Troubles. It's a history full of contradictions on both sides of the Atlantic. In the Republic, many criticised NORAID's actions, yet did little themselves. Meanwhile, NORAID had little to say about the Vietnam War or the Civil Rights Movement in America.Together, Jamie and I pick apart this complex and often uncomfortable chapter in Irish and Irish American history.Jamie Goldrick is the producer of NORAID: Irish America & the IRA which screens on RTE on July 9th & 16th.

Train travel isn't as common as it used to be, but there's one Amtrak route that train enthusiasts love because it's so beautiful -- the California Zephyr. The route starts in Emeryville, runs through the California delta, stops in Sacramento and then heads and over the Sierra Nevada mountains, eventually terminating in Chicago. This ride is on a lot of people's bucket list for good reason. But the California railroads also played an important role in the food history of the state and in the Civil Rights Movement.

This week, Zachary hosts a conversation with Jeremi and Dr. Peniel Joseph about his new book, Freedom Season, which describes the pivotal significance of 1963 in the Civil Rights Movement, highlighting key events such as the Birmingham protests, the March on Washington, the Birmingham church bombing, and the assassination of JFK. This week, instead of the usual poem, we set the scene with an audio excerpt of Martin Luther King Jr. reading from his "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Peniel Joseph holds a joint professorship appointment at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the History Department in the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. He is also the founding director of the LBJ School's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. His career focus has been on “Black Power Studies,” which encompasses interdisciplinary fields such as Africana studies, law and society, women's and ethnic studies, and political science. Prior to joining the UT faculty, Joseph was a professor at Tufts University, where he founded the school's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy to promote engaged research and scholarship focused on the ways issues of race and democracy affect people's lives. In addition to being a frequent commentator on issues of race, democracy and civil rights, Joseph wrote the award-winning books “Waiting ‘Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America, “Dark Days, Bright Nights: From Black Power to Barack Obama," and “Stokely: A Life" as well as “The Black Power Movement: Rethinking the Civil Rights-Black Power Era” and “Neighborhood Rebels: Black Power at the Local Level.”" His most recent book is "Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America's Civil Rights Revolution."

In this gripping episode, we dive deep into Race Against Time—the astonishing true story of how award-winning investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell helped reopen some of the most notorious unsolved murder cases from the civil rights era. From the infamous Mississippi Burning murders to the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer's home and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Mitchell's relentless pursuit of truth helped expose hidden crimes, unmask KKK killers, and bring long-delayed justice to the victims of racial violence.Through dogged reporting, secret FBI documents, and chilling confrontations with former Klansmen, Mitchell cracked cold cases that had gone untouched for decades. His work led to the convictions of men who believed they'd gotten away with racist murders committed in the shadows of Jim Crow America.This is not just a story of murder and conspiracy—it's a story of courage, accountability, and the power of journalism to right historical wrongs. If you're drawn to true crime, racial justice, civil rights history, and investigative reporting, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, our guest is Hanson Hosein — an Emmy Award-winning journalist, filmmaker, and communication strategist who has spent his career making sense of the world in times of change. His latest project is American Dignity, a short documentary that follows the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement from Seattle to Selma to Washington D.C., and considers what those lessons mean for America today. He started out as an NBC News correspondent, reporting from conflict zones in the Middle East and the Balkans. Later, he founded the Communication Leadership program at the University of Washington and became an early voice for digital storytelling, using technology to find new ways of reaching audiences. We visit his self-contained studio on the former site of a chicken coop, and talk about how he made this film as a one-person operation, what he learned along the way, and where he thinks media is headed.

Mahmoud Khalil spent over 100 days locked in a Louisiana detention center. Why? Not for breaking the law, but because the law—designed to protect people like him—was turned against him.He's a Palestinian grad student, a green card holder, and he led pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. For that, he was swept up under an obscure Cold War statute originally meant to keep Soviet spies out of the U.S. The government called him a “foreign threat.” He was yanked from his life, his wife, and his newborn child—and stuffed into ICE's LaSalle facility like a piece of evidence.That law—along with speech codes, hate crime statutes, and campus safety mandates—wasn't supposed to be used like this. It was born from the trauma of the Holocaust, the brutality of Jim Crow, and the moral reckoning of the Civil Rights Movement. It was forged to shield Black Americans, Jewish Americans, women, queer people, immigrants, and yes—people like Mahmoud—from harm.But laws don't remember why they were written. They only remember that they can be enforced.Laws are like blades forged in fire. They emerge sharp, blunt, sometimes beautiful—but always dangerous. Once crafted, anyone can pick them up. And that's what's happened.We spent decades expanding the definition of harm: from physical to emotional, from violence to words. We created speech codes, safe spaces, trigger warnings, anti-hate language. We said “words are violence.” And in many cases, we were right.But those same frameworks now allow the government to treat protest signs like terrorism. They empower campus administrators to punish dissent. And they justify deporting green card holders for saying the wrong thing at the wrong rally.The law didn't ask whether Mahmoud Khalil's signs were hateful. It asked whether they could be interpreted that way. The same logic used to ban homophobic preachers from campus is now being used to silence pro-Palestinian students.Jewish students say chants like “From the river to the sea” make them feel unsafe. And the state listens—just as it once did when LGBTQ+ students complained about hate groups on the quad.And now, activists are shocked to see their own weapons used against them.That's the boomerang. You throw it in the name of protection—and it comes back around with someone else's hand on it.This isn't a glitch. It's not a betrayal of justice. It's exactly what happens when you build a legal system so powerful, so expansive, so morally coded that it can't distinguish between righteous protection and strategic repression.You can't invent a nuclear bomb and act surprised when someone else sets it off.You can't create hate crime laws and assume they'll only ever defend your people, your narrative, your trauma.You built the system. Someone else inherited the keys.The forge doesn't care who picks up the hammer.It only cares that it's hot enough to burn.TL;DRThe provided text argues that anti-hate laws, initially crafted to safeguard vulnerable groups and promote civil rights, have been misappropriated and weaponized. The author contends that these laws, once seen as progressive tools, are now being used to suppress dissent and activism, particularly against pro-Palestinian voices, as exemplified by the case of Mahmoud Khalil. The text uses the metaphor of a "forge" to illustrate how laws, though forged with good intentions, become neutral tools that can be wielded by any political side. Ultimately, the source suggests that the broadening of what constitutes "harmful speech" has created a "boomerang effect," where legal frameworks designed to protect are now being used to silence those they were originally intended to help.

Protesting is part of the First Amendment rights we have as Americans. They can be positive, such as the Boston Tea Party, the Civil Rights Movement or the March for Life. Or, they can be negative such as Pride parades and the BLM riots of 2020.
How should Christians think through protests? Using No Kings as an example, Kenna and Jenna discuss God's justice, the command to be self-controlled and investigating the purpose of a protest before joining in.… Continue Reading

pWotD Episode 2969: Juneteenth Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 338,080 views on Wednesday, 18 June 2025 our article of the day is Juneteenth.Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. In the Civil War period, slavery came to an end in various areas of the United States at different times. Many enslaved Southerners escaped, demanded wages, stopped work, or took up arms against the Confederacy of slave states. In January 1865, Congress finally proposed the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution for the national abolition of slavery. By June 1865, almost all enslaved persons had been freed by the victorious Union Army or by state abolition laws. When the national abolition amendment was ratified in December, the remaining enslaved people in Delaware and in Kentucky were freed.Early Juneteenth celebrations date back to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas. They spread across the South among newly freed African-Americans and their descendants and became more commercialized in the 1920s and 1930s, often centering on a food festival. Participants in the Great Migration brought these celebrations to the rest of the country. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, these celebrations were eclipsed by the nonviolent determination to achieve civil rights, but grew in popularity again in the 1970s with a focus on African-American freedom and African-American arts. Beginning with Texas by proclamation in 1938, and by legislation in 1979, every U. S. state and the District of Columbia has formally recognized the holiday in some way.Juneteenth is also celebrated by the Mascogos, descendants of Black Seminoles who escaped from slavery in 1852 and settled in Coahuila, Mexico.The day was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, when the 117th U. S. Congress enacted and President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth became the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was adopted in 1983.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:36 UTC on Thursday, 19 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Juneteenth on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.

In this episode, we hear from with award-winning author, journalist and broadcaster Ben Arogundade about his latest book, Hollywood Blackout.Drawing on a century of film history, Hollywood Blackout explores how the Academy Awards have both resisted and reflected changing social forces — from the Nazi invasion of Europe to the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, #OscarsSoWhite, and #BlackLivesMatter. Arogundade reveals how external political and cultural shocks shaped who was celebrated at the Oscars and when — and how Hollywood's slow path toward inclusion has been won by generations of under-recognised artists and activists.We discuss the ground breaking victories of Hattie McDaniel, Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington and Will Smith — and how moments of global crisis forced the Academy to evolve. Ben also shares powerful insights into the systemic barriers faced by Black, Asian, Latino, Indigenous, and female creatives throughout Hollywood history. Hollywood Blackout is a richly detailed, deeply researched account of the struggle for recognition in one of the world's most powerful cultural institutions. A must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of race, politics, and cinema.*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

A conversation with author Peniel Joseph about his new book Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America's Civil Rights Revolution.

New York Times Co. v Sullivan, 10min,. Canada Directed by Yanjia Yang In the heat of the Civil Rights Movement, a full-page ad in The New York Times sparked a legal battle that would redefine freedom of the press in America. Through archival footage, this short film explores how the case reinforced First Amendment protections and shaped journalism as we know it today. A must-watch for anyone interested in media, law, and the enduring power of free speech. Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I was driven by a desire to revisit the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan case not just as a historical legal milestone, but as a powerful reminder of how fragile our freedoms truly are. In an era where misinformation, polarization, and censorship continue to challenge democratic ideals, I felt a strong responsibility to explore the balance between rights and responsibilities. I wanted my generation to understand that free speech is not abstract; it is something we must actively reflect upon. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? This was my very first documentary, and as an 11th-grade student, it was a steep learning curve. From research to editing, the process took about three months. There were moments of doubt, technical setbacks, and challenges in simplifying complex legal ideas. Though it required a lot of effort and time commitment, I pushed through and was able to find the true meaning of creating this film.

Peniel Joseph, professor of history and public affairs and director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the University of Texas at Austin and the author of Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America's Civil Rights Revolution (Basic Books, 2025), talks about his new book, an examination of the impact of events in 1963 on the struggle for civil rights -- from MLK's “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to the assassination of JFK.

Whilst Cynthia Nixon's versatility is beyond question, it's fair to say that she has become permanently associated with one character, Miranda Hobbs, in Sex and the City and its companion piece, And Just Like That. She won an Emmy for her performance and a generation of fans who identified with the ambitious type-A lawyer whose cynicism disguised as vulnerability has grown markedly through the decades. Nixon is also a political activist and vocal advocate for progressive causes. She even met her wife at an education rally in 2002. In 2018, she ran unsuccessfully for the governorship of New York. More recently, she has repeatedly spoken out in support of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Nixon's political conscience recalls perhaps the legacy of her journalist Father Walter, who won awards for his coverage of the Civil Rights Movement.

ICYMI: Hour One of ‘Later, with Mo'Kelly' Presents – PART TWO of Mo'Kelly's special in-depth coverage of the fifth straight day of protests against the ICE raids in Los Angeles with Clinical Professor of Law, Political Commentator & friend of the program Jessica Levinson weighing in on the issues California's “National Guard lawsuit” against President Trump may face…PLUS – A look at the Los Angeles ICE Protests juxtaposed against the Civil Rights Movement - on KFI AM 640…Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app & YouTube @MrMoKelly

Los Angeles is bracing for more chaos after protestors, angry over the Trump administration's deportation policies, clashed with the LAPD and two thousand members of the California National Guard. In the midst of the chaos, protestors found a way to ambush Waymo driverless taxis by ordering them to the epicenter of the violence, and then setting them ablaze.   And the fact that President Trump made the decision to send in the National Guard without a request from the governor has led to an all-out war. After all, National Guard troops haven't been sent in to deal with unrest since the Civil Rights Movement in 1965. After Trump's border czar threatened to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom if he tries to block ICE raids, Newsom hit back saying, come and get me. Plus, the manhunt continues for the most hated dad in America - charged with murdering his three beautiful young daughters. With authorities now thinking he may have fled to Canada. This comes as the children's mother is sharing never before seen photos of her little girls that were supposed to be posted this weekend for Father's Day, but are now a heartbreaking reminder of what she lost. And Broadway's Tony Awards were handed out last night and the real Cinderella story is Nicole Scherzinger who won best actress in a musical for the reboot of Sunset Boulevard. The fact she went from The Pussycat Dolls to an award winning Broadway star had her in tears.

Trump and Stephen Miller wanted a backlash against the immigration raids, because even they know that humans will respond when the federal government is snatching people off the street. But the tenor of modern protests is not going to be like the Civil Rights Movement, because activists back then were trained to suppress their natural inclination to defend themselves.

The year 1963 was a landmark one for the civil rights movement – and it's the subject of Peniel Joseph's new book Freedom Season. In the book, the University of Texas at Austin professor argues the events of 1963 ushered in what would become a 50-year consensus on racial justice, including the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act and transformations to public institutions. In today's episode, Joseph joins Here & Now's Scott Tong for a conversation about the varied voices of the civil rights era – who didn't always agree – including James Baldwin, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr., and John F.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy interview Benjamin Moynihan, Executive Director, and, William Crombie, Director of Professional Development, for the Algebra Project, Inc. Mr. Moynihan and Mr. Crombie reflect on the life and legacy of Civil Rights era icon, and math educator, Bob Moses. They trace Moses's journey from a Harlem upbringing and elite liberal arts education to his transformative grassroots activism in 1960s Mississippi, organizing Black voter registration and co-directing the Freedom Summer Project 1964. They discuss his collaboration with Mississippi sharecropper and Civil Rights era legend Fannie Lou Hamer, and his principled departure from the U.S. to raise a family and teach math in Tanzania, where his educational vision deepened. Bob Moses later founded the Algebra Project to confront math illiteracy as a modern civil rights issue, empowering students of color through community-based Algebra instruction. Moynihan and Crombie explore the Algebra Project's enduring mission; its pioneering role advocating for Algebra I as the gateway course to all higher-level math; and the importance of local buy-in for K-12 education reform. They reflect on Bob Moses's profound, often quiet leadership; Pulitzer-winning Civil Rights Movement historian Taylor Branch's high praise of his courageous voter registration work in Jim Crow Mississippi; and how the Algebra Project's grassroots model of organizing promotes access to high-level math instruction for all American schoolchildren.

The 1960 U.S. Census sits just over the horizon, scheduled to be released to the public on April 1, 2032. It's a highly anticipated snapshot of American life during a time of rapid change: the rise of suburbia, the baby boom cresting, the Cold War in full effect, and the Civil Rights Movement gaining national attention. For genealogists, it promises to unlock new details about ancestors who lived in the modern era—but for now, it remains sealed under the federal 72-year privacy law. So, what can we expect when it does become available—and how can we prepare to use it?

1963 was a transformational year in American history—JFK's assassination, Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” speech, the Birmingham Campaign, the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, and escalating Cold War tensions. It was a year that changed the soul of America.In this episode, Dr. Peniel Joseph, author and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, joins Ryan to discuss how 1963 ignited a decade of transformation. They discuss the pivotal events of the year, the contrasting strategies of Malcolm X and MLK Jr., and how this single year reshaped the course of future generations.Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values, founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and distinguished service leadership professor and professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.

Speaking across the decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares his insights into responding to suffering, the meaning of service, and the confluence of social action and spiritual work.The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast. We invite you to join us and share your curiosities, insights, and wisdom. Sign up for the General Fellowship to receive event invitations directly in your inbox.This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass talking about service and social action across the decades.We begin in 1969, during a time of significant cultural change. A time where the people of the United States found themselves in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement, the anti-war protests, and the rise of Women's Liberation. Ram Dass explores the concept of social responsibility and talks about why protesting should come from a place not of anger, but of love.Next, we move to 1983. The media landscape has transformed in the wake of the Iran hostage crisis, political paradigms shift as Ronald Reagan makes his way to power, and communities all over the world begin to feel the impact of the growing AIDS epidemic. Ram Dass talks about learning to trust one's intuitive inner voice when it comes to responding to suffering, and how we can bring together social action and spiritual work.Two years later, it is 1985 and the world has rapidly evolved. The Soviet Union has become a global threat. The nightly news shows the Apartheid regime in South Africa violently cracking down on Civil Rights activists, while the Reagan administration stands by, focused instead on rolling back civil liberties at home in the United States. Ram Dass offers perspective on navigating these challenges with an open heart. He explores the difference between dharma and seva, and why service requires us to embrace paradox in our lives.It is 1993, technology is transforming the world and how we engage with it. Ram Dass explores how being too attached to the fruits of our actions can be detrimental to social action work, leading activists to burn out quickly.We end our journey across the decades in 2018, in the middle of the first Trump administration in America. Wars rage on, and civil liberty is at risk across the globe. How do we oppose this skillfully and with an open heart? Ram Dass talks about how karma yoga is the key to finding the right balance between working on yourself and taking action for the benefit of others.

And if you're too obsessed with the goal, you lose it. If you're too obsessed with the goal, since in much action you don't get what you want, you'll burn out much sooner. And so, the injunction of the Bhagavad Gita, which says be not identified with being the actor, be not attached to the fruits of the action, and yet, the action happens.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In March 1988, when the Board Chair of Gallaudet University, the world's only Deaf university, announced Gallaudet's new president, she had no idea what was about to happen. As chronicled in Nyle DiMarco and Davis Guggenheim's riveting new documentary, “Deaf President Now!”,  the students revolted against the decision to hire yet another hearing person to lead the university and took over the campus. In the span of just over one week, their struggle would not only transform Gallaudet but write a powerful new chapter in the history of the Civil Rights Movement.   Nyle and Davis join Ken on the pod to describe this remarkable protest movement and their own dynamic creative partnership. The result is a film that combines thrilling archival footage with moving contemporary interviews and deep insights into the Deaf experience. The film's original use of the Deaf POV and innovative sound design demonstrate that the revolution that began at Gallaudet has profoundly changed the culture and, now, the documentary form itself.   “Deaf President Now!” premieres on Apple+ on May 16.   Hidden Gems: Davis: No Other Land, Black Box Diaries Nyle: Crip Camp   Follow: @nyledimarco on Instagram X @davisguggenheim on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Curator Sukanya Rajaratnam and biographer Jon Ott weld together African American culture and 20th century Western/European modernism, through Richard Hunt's 1956 sculpture, Hero's Head.Born on the South Side of Chicago, sculptor Richard Hunt (1935-2023) was immersed in the city's culture, politics, and architecture. At the major exhibition, Sculpture of the Twentieth Century, which travelled from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1953, he engaged with the works of artists Julio González, Pablo Picasso, and Constantin Brâncuși - encounters with Western/European modernism, that ‘catalysed' his use of metal, as the medium of his time and place.Hero's Head (1956), one of Richard's earliest mature works, was the first among many artistic responses dedicated to the legacy of Emmett Till. The previous year, Hunt joined over 100,000 mourners in attendance of the open-casket visitation of Till, a 14-year-old African American boy whose brutal lynching in Mississippi marked a seismic moment in national history. Modestly scaled to the dimensions of a human head, and delicately resting on a stainless-steel plinth, the welded steel sculpture preserves the image of Till's mutilated face. Composed of scrap metal parts, with dapples of burnished gold, it reflects the artist's use of found objects, and interest in ancient Greek and Roman mythology, which characterise his later works.With the first major European exhibition, and posthumous retrospective, of Richard's work at White Cube in London, curators Sukanya Rajaratnam and Jon Ott delve into the artist's prolific career. We critically discuss their diasporic engagement with cultural heritage; Richard collected over one thousand works of 'African art', referenced in sculptures like Dogonese (1985), and soon travelled to the continent for exhibitions like 10 Negro Artists from the US in Dakar, Senegal (1965). Jon details the reception of Richard's work, and engagement with the natural environment, connecting the ‘red soil' of Africa to agricultural plantations worked by Black slaves in southern America. We look at their work in a concurrent group exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, which retraces the presence and influence of Black artists in Paris, and considers the city as a ‘mobile site', highlighting the back-and-forth exchanges between artists, media, and movements like abstract expressionism. Shared forms are found in the works of French painters, Wangechi Mutu's Afrofuturist bronzes, and Richard's contemporaries practicing in France, Spain, Italy, and England.Plus, LeRonn P. Brooks, Curator at the Getty Research Institute, details Richard's ongoing legacies in public sculpture, and commemorations of those central to the Civil Rights Movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Hobart Taylor Jr., and Jesse Owens.Richard Hunt: Metamorphosis is at White Cube Bermondsey in London until 29 June 2025.Paris Noir: Artistic circulations and anti-colonial resistance, 1950 – 2000 is at the Centre Pompidou in Paris until 30 June 2025.Listen to Sylvia Snowden at White Cube Paris, in the EMPIRE LINES episode on M Street (1978-1997).Hear more about Wangechi Mutu's This second dreamer (2017), with Ekow Eshun, curator of the touring exhibition, The Time is Always Now (2024).For more about Dogonese and ‘African masks' from Mali, listen to ⁠Manthia Diawara⁠, co-curator of The Trembling Museum at the Hunterian in Glasgow, part of ⁠PEACE FREQUENCIES 2023⁠.For more about ‘Negro Arts' exhibitions in Dakar, Senegal, read about Barbara Chase-Riboud: Infinite Folds at the Serpentine in London.For more about Black Southern Assemblage, hear Raina Lampkins-Felder, curator at the Souls Grown Deep Foundation and Royal Academy in London, on the Quiltmakers of Gee's Bend (20th Century-Now).

For historian Peniel Joseph, the year 1963 — the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation — is the defining year of the Civil Rights Movement. “America came undone and remade itself in 1963, a year of miracles and tragedies, progress and setbacks,” he writes in his new book, “Freedom Season.” It profiles how events of that year affected Americans like Rev. King, Malcolm X and James Baldwin — and inspired their parts in the Black freedom struggle. Joseph joins us. Tell us: What does 1963 symbolize to you? Guests: Peniel E.

When you think of a successful protest movement, most Americans probably think of the American Civil Rights movement, and the March on Washington in 1963.Martin Luther King, Jr. standing behind a podium on the steps of the Lincoln memorial delivered his most famous speech and a line that would come to define the goals of the Civil Rights Movement. President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act just nine months after the March. A year after that Johnson signed the National Voting Rights Act of 1965.The quest for equality continues. In the decades since that bright summer day in August 1963, many other Americans have tried to use the model of protest to achieve their political goals. But do protests work?For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Similar to Benjamin Mays, Dorie Ladner (1943-2024) used to say she was “born to rebel.” She fought for human rights her whole life, transforming Social Structures while also centering her Ways of Knowing and the Governance formations she was raised in as an African person in Mississippi, in the Civil Rights Movement and in global liberation movements. Many US debates about reparations, such as Nicole Hannah-Jones article in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, center what Black people believe that the US “owes” Africans descended from US enslavement. Rebelling against an oppressive Social Structure and Repairing oneself and/or community are not the same.
