In this enlightening episode of STEMulating Conversations, Dr. Q sits down with Samaad Wes Keys, PhD, a passionate advocate for education and a Senior Program Officer at the Gates Foundation. Samaad shares his inspiring journey—from his early days as a classroom teacher in New Jersey to now shaping national strategies that uplift Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). With humor and insight, he discusses how his lived experiences inform his work and his dedication to ensuring equity and excellence in higher education. Samaad unpacks the unique strengths and enduring impact of HBCUs, and why they remain a vital force in shaping brilliance and innovation. He also reflects on the power of mentorship, the importance of culturally affirming spaces, and the need for intentional investment in institutions that have historically done so much with so little. Whether you're an educator, policymaker, student, or simply someone who cares about the future of equitable education, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to support the mission of HBCUs in a new way.

They examine the complexities of historical narratives, the evolution of patriotism in America, and the challenges of parenting in a modern context. They discuss the emergence of the woke movement as a response to historical whitewashing, the shifting perceptions of patriotism, and the balance between guiding children towards success versus allowing them to pursue their passions.

Historically Black colleges and universities have played a vital role in educating generations of students. But today, enrollment among Black males at HBCUs is at its lowest level since the mid-1970s. Studies indicate that when Black men disengage from HBCUs and higher education, the consequences are far-reaching. We examine the impact, why this is happening, what schools are doing to combat it and more.
In this episode, Money on the Left shares audio from "The Black University & Community Currencies,” a public workshop convened by Professor Andrew J. Douglas at Morehouse College on April 25, 2025. This episode presents Part 1 of the workshop. It features an introduction by Professor Douglas and two panels. The first panel is titled “What is Public Money?” (Delman Coates, Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson. The second asks: “What is the Uni Currency Proposal?” (Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson). Money on the Left will release audio from Part 2 of the workshop within a few weeks' time.Description:In the late 1960s, in the context of the Black Power movement and amid calls to develop Black Studies programs at many US colleges and universities, Black student activists and radical intellectuals sought to imagine a more revolutionary "Black University," an institution or network of institutions dedicated entirely to Pan-African study and research. This workshop revisits the theory and vision of the Black University. It foregrounds questions of political economy—ranging from the theoretical critiques of capitalism and empire that inspired the Black University concept to more practical questions about financial viability and the "business model" of a revolutionary Black institution. And it considers how an emerging school of heterodox economic thinking—what has come to be known as Modern Money Theory—might inform a renewal of the Black University and its commitment to Black community building.This comes at a time of great crisis in US higher education, especially at HBCUs. Students are unsustainably indebted, encouraged to think of their education as little more than a private economic transaction or "return on investment." Schools, increasingly desperate for funding, are made to compete for private capital, often in ways that compromise their ability to serve even the nominally progressive aspects of their missions. Surrounding neighborhoods have become little more than sites of extraction, sources of low-wage labor and opportunities for land speculation, otherwise walled off from the very institutions they are made to sustain. More broadly, democratic questions about what kind of society the university is meant to serve or what kind of society we want an education for are rarely if ever addressed. Meanwhile, fascism's dramatic resurgence is renewing questions about whether Black institutions can rely on even minimal support from white society. In many ways, we appear to face some of the very same conditions that inspired the vision of the Black University more than a half century ago.What would it mean to renew the theory of the Black University? What are the challenges involved in building the Black University from within today's HBCUs? How might we reimagine the financial architecture of the university and its commitment to surrounding communities? How might new thinking about public money and banking-heterodox ideas about credit creation, public investment, jobs programs and the mobilization of community resources inform such a reimagining? How might HBCUs experiment with the creation of complementary currencies? And does this new thinking go far enough, or does it reflect simply a recommitment to the structures of domination and exploitation imperial state projects, the logic of capital, the instruments of antiblack violence that the Black University concept was always meant to expose and challenge?Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

We'll discuss how this budget could dismantle social security. An Alabama HBCU rebounds from financial struggles.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross and Angela Rye are joined by special guest-host: Roland S Martin (of Roland Martin Unfiltered). Roland is one of the most vital sources of independent news for the Black community; his YouTube channel @rolandsmartin has 1.8 million subscribers and counting. Today’s show kicks off with Trump’s attacks on the Blacksonian (National Museum of African American History) and the massive protests against him over the weekend. A lot of folks are complaining about the Trump administration but we don’t see enough doing; Roland says younger generations are “withdrawing from the bank of justice” without making any deposits. How do we help Black folks battle the apathy and feel their agency? Tariffs–tariffs for everyone! Or not? Let’s be 100% clear y’all: tariffs are a tax that WE will pay. Our hosts explain how tariffs work, why they were put in place, and who benefits (SPOILER ALERT: it’s not us). Male enrollment at HBCUs is hitting historical lows, mirroring attendance at colleges nationwide. This represents a failure to engage men in the educational process that starts well before college. The hosts discuss causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Host Andrew Gillum is out this week. He’s on a field trip with the kids to NASA. Have fun Andrew! And of course we’ll hear from you!

Today, we unpack the NFL's latest moves: Does paying Geno Smith signal that Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders are ready to pass on Shedeur Sanders? We step into Deion and Shedeur Sanders' world. Would you step up to help Shilo Sanders or let him fend for himself? In the NBA, we debate Nikola Jokic's legacy — only one championship, no All-Star teammates. Does he still crack the top 20 of all time? Plus, we're asking the tough questions: Why do stars like Anthony Edwards seem to dodge condoms and accountability? Later, TJ Moe joins the show to discuss the challenges plaguing black culture, including the ripple effects of Austin Metcalf's murder and the potential fallout ahead. Then, Shemeka Michelle drops by to stir the pot, exploring why more black students are choosing predominantly white state schools over HBCUs.

In this episode of Pass The Mic, Dr. Jemar Tisby and Pastor G. Tyler Burns dive into the rich history of Black institutions and their ongoing significance in today's world. From historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to Black churches, businesses, and media, these institutions have been pillars of strength, resilience, and progress for generations. Dr. Tisby and Pastor Burns explore why these institutions were created, the challenges they have faced, and why they remain vital for Black communities today. They also discuss the threats to these institutions—both external and internal—and what must be done to protect and sustain them for future generations. Key Topics Covered: The historical necessity of Black institutions in the face of systemic exclusion. The role of HBCUs, Black churches, and Black-owned businesses in community development. The cultural and spiritual significance of Black institutions. Modern threats to Black institutions, including economic pressures and political challenges. How Black communities can invest in, support, and preserve these vital spaces. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
A shocking statistic reveals that Black men make up less than 20% of the student body at Howard University, highlighting a growing gender gap at HBCUs. As college enrollment declines, more young adults are seeking alternatives to higher education. Severe storms and tornadoes hit the Midwest, and a racist attack in Brooklyn leaves a 16-year-old victimized. In political news, Trump is threatening oil tariffs against Russia while floating the idea of running for a third term. Meanwhile, Regina Hall and Snoop Dogg take on commencement speeches, Damon Dash faces a $4M defamation lawsuit, and Diddy is being sued over an alleged assault. The show wraps up with a special tribute to George Foreman from the CEO of the National Urban League.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on the White House's refusal to oblige court orders halting its deportation planes, Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, Trump's brutal deportations, NIH's scrubbing of mRNA research grants, Trump's bombardment of Yemen, Schumer's book tour, dropping Democratic popularity, DOGE cuts to Los Alamos, Trump's reversal of Biden pardons, the Voice of America, and the court-ordered rehiring of federal employees, before diving a little deeper into Senator Schumer's capitulation to Trump and the GOP's budget push. Next, they highlight the immediate result of Schumer and Senate Democrats' affirmation of the Trump/Musk agenda, as the Trump regime spent this weekend expanding their regime of brutal abductions and inhumane migrant abuses, looking to the illegal flight of migrants to El Salvador (and the corresponding Twitter promos), and the recently released video by the ACLU of ICE's abduction of Mahmoud Khalil. They also dissect Schumer's reflections on voting “yes” to advance the Elon/Trump GOP budget, exploring his willing adoption of the Trump Administration's framing of the “Continuing Resolution,” his eagerness to let GOP Congresspeople shirk any responsibility for the Trump/Musk agenda, and the damage the vote has wrought on the Democratic Party itself – including the Party's record-low approval rating and the growing divide between Senate leadership and the Party caucus. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Chris Murphy blatantly refuse to state his confidence in Chuck Schumer's leadership and unpack Batya Ungar-Sargon's insane argument for “MAGA Leftism” on Bill Maher. Pete Thiel and Dave Rubin mock HBCUs for being “dumb,” Mimi from Colorado has a PSA for ICE operations in Colorado and the importance of trusting librarians. Craig from LA explores the defense of Social Security in Congress, and Ben from Memphis on Kyle Rittenhouse's speaking appearance at the University of Memphis. Chuck Edwards explains his alignment with Trump's imperial goals, and Perry from Lexington touches on the GOP's major roadblock to trans healthcare in Kentucky with HB-495, plus, your calls and IMs!
