In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Daniel Bassali, Vice President of Public Affairs for Americans for Prosperity, to discuss the launch of the One Small Step campaign—AFP's bold, nationwide effort to celebrate America's 250th anniversary by spotlighting the everyday citizens who are shaping the future of freedom. Bassali explains how One Small Step draws inspiration from iconic figures like Harriet Tubman, Betsy Ross, and Neil Armstrong—people who took action not for fame, but because it mattered. These American pioneers prove that profound change starts with a single courageous act. And today, that legacy lives on in community members testifying at city council meetings, homeschooling moms fighting for education freedom, and students like Caleb Williams who've become powerful policy advocates before the age of 21. Bassali and From explore how AFP serves as a platform to amplify these local voices, empower bottom-up solutions, and fuel a new generation of civic leadership. Whether it's helping someone write a letter to the editor or organizing grassroots momentum around school choice, every small step adds up to something greater. This episode is a rallying cry: You don't need a title or a microphone to make a difference. You just need to take the first step.

An ambitious genre-crossing exploration of Black speculative imagination, The Dark Delight of Being Strange: Black Stories of Freedom (Columbia University Press 2024) combines fiction, historical accounts, and philosophical prose to unveil the extraordinary and the surreal in everyday Black life.In a series of stories and essays, James B. Haile, III, traces how Black speculative fiction responds to enslavement, racism, colonialism, and capitalism and how it reveals a life beyond social and political alienation. He re-envisions Black technologies of freedom through Henry Box Brown's famed escape from slavery in a wooden crate, fashions an anticolonial “hollow earth theory” from the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, and considers the octopus and its ability to camouflage itself as a model for Black survival strategies, among others. Looking at Black life through the lens of speculative fiction, this book transports readers to alternative worlds and spaces while remaining squarely rooted in present-day struggles. In so doing, it rethinks historical and contemporary Black experiences as well as figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Dumas, and Toni Morrison.Offering new ways to grasp the meanings and implications of Black freedom, The Dark Delight of Being Strange invites us to reimagine history and memory, time and space, our identities and ourselves. Winner, 2025 Hugh J. Silverman Book Prize, Association for Philosophy and Literature Finalist, 2025 PEN America Open Book Award James B.

Send us a textWhat decides which stories survive the test of time? Who determines which voices echo through history's halls? These questions lie at the heart of our fascinating conversation with Dominique Luster, a master storyteller and dedicated archivist who's revolutionizing how we preserve Black narratives.Describing her work as "Harriet Tubman meets Indiana Jones," Dominique shares her remarkable journey from theater major to founder of The Luster Company, a groundbreaking archival firm named after her fifth great-grandmother Charity—born enslaved in 1825 and later became an entrepreneur against extraordinary odds. This ancestral connection drives Dominique's mission to uncover, preserve, and celebrate the rich tapestry of Black history that traditional institutions have often overlooked.Dominique offers profound insights into the power dynamics underlying historical preservation. "History doesn't repeat itself. Humans do," she explains, challenging us to recognize how the mere 1% of documents preserved in archives represents deliberate choices made by those with the power to decide which stories matter. Every preserved photograph, letter, or record reflects not just its creator's perspective but also the values of those who deemed it worthy of saving.What resonates most powerfully is Dominique's celebration of everyday Black life. Beyond focusing solely on extraordinary achievements or devastating tragedies, she illuminates the meaningful middle—the beauty salon owner who served her community for decades, the thriving neighborhoods that created spaces of belonging, the ordinary triumphs that ground families in their heritage. These stories provide essential "anchor points" that help people understand themselves as part of something greater than themselves.Ready to preserve your own family's legacy? Listen as Dominique shares practical strategies for conducting oral histories with elders and properly documenting family photographs. These simple acts of preservation might be the difference between stories that live on and those lost forever.

Officials say the raid at P*Town last weekend was an occupancy check — one they seemingly failed and which could put their liquor license in jeopardy. We're in the last stretch of the mayoral primary, and we're talking about the group chat supporting incumbent Ed Gainey, a union call to remove the mayor's COO for alleged anti-police bias, and criticism of Corey O'Connor for leaving a candidate forum early to attend a fundraiser. Plus, a famous Andy Warhol print seems to have ended up in Dutch trash, and there are a bunch of fun book events coming this weekend and beyond.

How do we prepare our children to think critically in an age of overwhelming information, bias, and quick judgments? In today's Brave Writer episode, we interview Sharon McMahon, an award-winning educator, philanthropist, and the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Small and the Mighty. In our lively discussion with Sharon, aka “America's Government Teacher,” we explore how true critical thinking requires a tolerance for discomfort and a commitment to understanding perspectives beyond our own. Sharon reflects on lessons from history, including unsung heroes like Harriet Tubman and Anna Thomas Jeanes, and emphasizes the importance of presenting children with varied viewpoints rather than indoctrinating them with a single narrative. We also discuss strategies for fostering resilience, optimism, and humility as we engage thoughtfully with the world around us.Join us for a conversation full of hope, encouragement, and practical ideas for raising critical thinkers in a complicated world.

Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
In Washington, a rare flicker of institutional resistance is lighting up the political gloom. As the Supreme Court sides 7-2 against mass deportations and Harvard takes legal aim at executive power, Roifield Brown and his panel ask the awkward but necessary question: Is the American Republic finally growing a spine? Panelists Denise Hamilton and Mike Donahue agree that while Trump's pressure tactics aren't new, the scale of legal and educational defiance certainly is. Meanwhile, they also highlight the existential threat: America's fragmented information ecosystems mean citizens no longer even start from the same facts, making any comeback for democratic norms a grinding uphill struggle.Across the Atlantic, a different kind of existential crisis unfolds. Robert Jenrick, already measuring the curtains for Tory leadership, hints at a tactical realignment between the Conservative Party and Reform UK. Cory Bernard and Steve O'Neill dissect the fine line between electoral pragmatism and political self-destruction. They warn that while Britain's political history favours the Conservative Party's survival, wealth inequality and voter volatility could easily tear up the rulebook. Roy Field, clearly unimpressed by complacency, reminds everyone that assuming Britain's institutions are immune to collapse is dangerously naive.The panel closes with a lighter moment: each guest picks a hometown hero worthy of a street name. Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, and Clement Attlee are among the choices, though Steve O'Neill's initial bid for "Roger Federer Street" suggests some people should stay away from naming contests. Throughout the episode, the tone is bracing: whether it's executive overreach in the U.S. or far-right drift in the U.K., democracy's defenders will need a lot more than nostalgia and wishful thinking to hold the line.5 Selected Quotes:“I think what we're seeing is a stiffening of the spine and a bigger commitment to holding up our institutions.” — Denise Hamilton“It's not left versus right anymore — it's institutions versus chaos.” — Roifield Brown“You can't rationalize with people who aren't working with the same facts.” — Mike Donahue“Britain's political history doesn't guarantee immunity from collapse.” — Roifield Brown“One street at a time, we still get to choose who we celebrate.” — Denise Hamilton Hosted on Acast.

In this compelling episode, I had the honor to speak with Ms. Michelle Jones Galvin, where we discussed her ancestry as a descendant of Harriet Tubman. The conversation explores how preserving African American history through institutions like the Harriet Tubman Home and National Historical Park shapes national identity and informs our understanding of American history. Topics include the importance of local government involvement in historical preservation, the intersection of race and gender in museum storytelling, and the power of Tubman's legacy. Ms. Jones Galvin also reflects on how cultural institutions can support modern-day advocacy, entrepreneurship, and education, especially for women of color.Learn more by visiting www.mosesofherpeople.com

Trey's Table Episode 283: The Fugitive Slave Act of 2025 **EP. 283: When History Repeats – The Fugitive Slave Act & Trump's Immigration Crackdowns** The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 wasn't just a law—it was state-sanctioned terror. It denied Black people due process, incentivized neighbors to betray each other, and turned free states into hunting grounds. Sound familiar? Trump's immigration policies mirrored this playbook: - **Presumed guilt**: Like enslaved people in 1850, migrants under Trump were deported without fair hearings. - **Forced complicity**: ICE pressured local police to act as enforcers, just as the Fugitive Slave Act deputized Northern officials. - **Sanctuary resistance**: Then: abolitionists broke the law to hide fugitives. Now: cities shield immigrants from ICE. But here's the lesson: oppression sparks rebellion. Harriet Tubman rerouted the Underground Railroad to Canada. John Brown armed rebels. And today? Communities still fight back. Listen to Ep. 283 to unpack these chilling parallels. History isn't just the past—it's a warning. #TrevsTable #FugitiveSlaveAct #ImmigrationRights #BlackHistory

4.8.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS halts order to rehire 16,000 workers, Jasmine Crockett torches Trump, NC SAU $18M Lawsuits The Supreme Court has blocked a district judge's order that would have required the Trump administration to rehire thousands of fired employees. This means that many remain without income. Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is calling out the same administration that talks about cutting government costs for spending nearly $26 million on Trump's golf outings. You won't want to miss this Crockett Chronicle. A fired former DOJ attorney testified before Congress about her departure and the armed U.S. marshals who delivered a letter restricting her testimony to her home. The National Park Service has reinstated a photo and quote of Harriet Tubman on its website, calling the edits "unauthorized." We'll talk to a Texas State senator who criticized the sponsor of an employment anti-DEI bill for suggesting that their intention is to keep white men in charge.

This week, we're taking a mind-bending dive into three under-the-radar sci-fi gems: The Endless, Radius, and Upgrade. Indie, eerie, and occasionally WTF, these movies gave us plenty to chew on—from AI run amok to time loop cults to accidental mass murder by proximity. Seriously, there's a lot going on here.We also say a heartfelt goodbye to Val Kilmer, dissect the upcoming Beatles biopics, rage at the absurd “rebranding” of the Underground Railroad, and gave some hot (and not) streaming picks including The Pitt, Karma, MobLand, The Bondsman, and Pulse. (Spoiler: Skip Pulse.)
In this episode of Black History Year, host Darren sits down with adrienne maree brown to discuss how Black imagination has always shaped history—from Harriet Tubman's vision of The Promised Land to Octavia Butler's Earthseed philosophy. They're breaking down the powerful ways Black folks have used imagination—not just to escape oppression, but to turn freedom dreams into homes, communities, and whole new worlds. How have generations of Black people turned their dreams of freedom into reality? What lessons from history push us to dream bigger about the future? And how do we make sure imagination isn't just a dream—but something real? -- To find more of adrienne's incredible work, visit https://adriennemareebrown.net/ — This podcast is brought to you by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

Harriet Tubman was nearly ghosted from her own story. The National Park Service is walking back quiet changes to its Underground Railroad webpage that dramatically downplayed Tubman's presence. Gone was a large photo of her. Gone was a powerful quote. And the word "slavery" appeared nowhere until paragraph three. Instead, the revised page focused on American ideals of liberty — as if Tubman hadn't risked her life fighting a country that denied liberty to Black people. Let's be clear, Tubman wasn't a footnote in this history, she was the movement. Following a Sunday report by the Washington Post and backlash from historians and educators, the page has been restored. But the move raises serious concerns, especially in a political climate where anti-DEI agendas are scrubbing Black history out of federal spaces. If there's one thing Tubman taught us, it's never to stop moving forward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
According to CNN, the National Park Service removed a prominent image and quote from Harriet Tubman on its Underground Railroad webpage, replacing them with commemorative stamps. The page now downplays slavery, cutting references to the Fugitive Slave Act and focusing instead on “American ideals of liberty.” Historians criticized the changes as oversimplifying history. Tubman's diminished presence comes amid broader Trump administration efforts to reshape government websites, including removing DEI-related content and targeting institutions like the Smithsonian. Critics say these edits distort historical truth. The NPS defended the changes, citing other tributes to Tubman. However, the only reference to her on the updated page is a small stamp, sparking concern about erasing key figures in U.S. history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today on the show, we hear from authors who were inspired by history in wildly different ways. First, when Emma Donoghue encountered a famous photo of the 1895 Montparnasse derailment, she says she couldn't believe no one had written a novel about it. Donoghue's The Paris Express imagines what life was like for passengers on the old-fashioned steam locomotive. In today's episode, she talks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about the extensive historical research she conducted in order to write the book. Then, Bob the Drag Queen has called Harriet Tubman "the first Black superhero." In Bob's debut novel Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert, Tubman returns to continue her work as an abolitionist through hip-hop. In today's episode, Bob speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about the idea of freedom, Tubman's military service, and a recent appearance on The Traitors.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
