Podcasts about Kathleen Cleaver

A few weeks ago, we had Sarah Longwell and David French, two prominent conservatives, on Honestly to explain why they're supporting Vice President Kamala Harris this presidential election.  There are a lot of people like them—conservatives who are so staunchly never Trump that they are supporting the Democratic candidate. What's less common—or, at least, less talked about—are the Democrats who are voting for Donald Trump. Maybe there are fewer Democrats crossing the aisle to vote for Trump in 2024, but I'd guess that there are more who are just not willing to speak up because of the stigma.  Today, we are talking with three people, all of whom have spent their lives identifying as liberal or progressive and are voting for Trump this year—and are loud and proud about it. Shaun Maguire is a partner at the VC fund Sequoia Capital and has previously started five companies himself. In 2016, he said he was terrified of Trump winning and actively supported Hillary Clinton. But this year, Shaun gave Trump $300,000, saying he believes that “the Biden administration has had some of the worst foreign policy in decades.”  Maud Maron is a lifelong progressive. She's dedicated her career to those causes. She was a Planned Parenthood escort and worked for Kathleen Cleaver, the former Black Panther and professor, who called Maud her “excellent research assistant.” She worked for many years as a public defender at The Legal Aid Society until she was canceled by the organization for “wrong think.” Maud ran for NYC's City Council in 2021 and then for Congress in 2022 as a moderate Democrat. She says she's no longer a Democrat and will vote Republican for the first time in a presidential election because of, among other things, the Democratic Party's fixation on race over merit. Shabbos Kestenbaum is a recent graduate of Harvard, who's currently suing his alma mater for its failure to combat antisemitism. He says he disagrees with former president Trump on most issues, but on the most important ones, he's in lockstep with him. Shabbos supported Bernie Sanders and Jamaal Bowman in the past, but has moved right because he has seen firsthand how the excesses on the left have impacted college campuses—and particularly Jewish students—for the worst.  There are a lot of people who are deeply dissatisfied with the options in this year's presidential race, and are planning to write in someone on that line of their ballot. Shaun, Maud, and Shabbos are not doing that. They've gone the full 180 and are supporting the candidate they once hated. Why? On today's episode, how these three former Democrats got so disaffected with their party, how they grapple with the antisemitism on the right, how they contend with Trump's questionable character, how they square Trump and J.D. Vance's comments on Ukraine with their hawkish foreign policy views, and much, much more.

As the first ever woman in the Black Panther Party's decision-making body, Kathleen Cleaver played a large role in shaping and influencing the Party's views on gender roles. Her drive to live a life of liberty inspired other women to do the same. And it's in the Party where she meets her controversial husband, Eldridge Cleaver, who would leave her with a difficult choice to make: be a supportive wife or stand up for women's liberation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kathleen Cleaver Her activism was inspired by her parents and their circle of friends and colleagues in Tuskegee, Alabama, where service and fighting for one's rights were expected.

She and her then-husband Eldridge Cleaver spent four years in exile from the United States in Algeria and Korea, where their children were born.

Andrea Armstrong is a law professor at Loyola University and one of the leading experts on the conditions of incarceration in the United States. When invited to talk about an influence on her work, Andrea could have chosen to discuss a fellow scholar. She is a graduate of Yale Law School, and she credits Derrick Bell, Reva Siegel, and Kathleen Cleaver—the only Black female professor she had at Yale—with shaping her thinking about America’s penal system. But Andrea decided to talk about the debt she owes to another, less conventional influence: the human beings caged inside of our jails and prisons. She says nothing has influenced her thinking more than talking to incarcerated people. In fact, incarcerated people have become such an important influence on her work that she regularly pays visits to jails and prisons across the country to survey the conditions and hear from the folks inside. In this conversation, Andrea talks about how the insights of incarcerated people have shaped her worldview and professional agenda, and how listening to them has changed her understanding of the nature of punishment.

The Black Panther Party, a Black power political organization, was founded exactly 55 years ago in California's Bay Area and grew into a nationwide group that pushed for housing, food equity, education and self-protection. Several famous figures emerged from the group, including Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis and Huey P. Newton.But history often overlooks those who do not serve in dynamic roles or who perform tasks away from public view. These people do the thankless but crucial work that keeps organizations running. Barbara Easley-Cox was one of these people.Today, Easley-Cox recounts what she experienced as a Black Panther, from California to Algeria to North Korea and beyond.More reading:Decades before Black Lives Matter, there were the Black Panthers in OaklandOpinion: 1969 SWAT raid on Black Panthers set the tone for police race problemsBobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver tell Cal State Fullerton audience about militancy, civil rights work

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Jack Olsen's Last Man Standing: The Tragedy and Triumph of Geronimo Pratt. Olsen is a White male, and a prolific author. Olsen wrote for Sport Illustrated during the 1960's, and penned a celebrated series examining black athletes and Racism. The magazine also credits Olsen with writing one of the best biographies on boxing icon and attempted counter-racist Muhammad Ali. Last week, the book detailed the numerous charges filed against Geronimo Pratt and other members of the Black Panther Party. Olsen explained how COINTELPRO antics kept Panther members squabbling with each other, and sometimes other black people. These disputes led to Pratt being expelled from the party and a prohibition against any members testifying on behalf of Pratt. This caused witnesses like Kathleen Cleaver, who could verify that Pratt was not in the same area code at the time of the so called tennis court murder, to remain silent. Pratt wondered if BPP co-founder Huey P. Newton's substance abuse problems contributed to his unpredictable and sometimes irrational thinking. The COINTELPRO campaign included the use of narcotics to neutralize attempted counter-racists - black people in general. #COINTELPRO INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Revolution Or Death: The Life of Eldridge Cleaver (Lawrence Hill Books, 2020) is a remarkable biography that examines the notorious Black revolutionary meticulously within the context of his changing times. Charismatic, brilliant, and courageous, Eldridge Cleaver built a base of power and influence that struck fear deep in the heart of White America. It was therefore shocking to many left-wing radicals when Cleaver turned his back on Black revolution, the Nation of Islam, and communism in 1975. How can we make sense of Cleaver's precipitous decline from a position as one of America's most vibrant Black writers and activists? And how do his contradictory identities as criminal, party leader, international diplomat, Christian conservative, and Republican politician reveal that he was more than just a traitor to the advancement of civil rights? Author Justin Gifford obtained exclusive access to declassified files from the French police, the American embassy, and the FBI, as well as Kathleen Cleaver’s archive, to answer these questions about a man far more compelling and complex than anyone has given him credit for. In a country defined by its extreme political positions on the right and left, Cleaver embodied both ideologies in pursuit of his conflicting ideals. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago. He hosts his own podcast, Independent Thought & Freedom, where he interviews some of the most interesting people from around the world who are shaking up politics, economics, society and ideas.

In this week's episode I read Kathleen Cleaver's "Women, Power, & Revolution" (1998). Kathleen Cleaver was one of the most influential leaders of the Black Panther Party. Images of the Black Panther Party are largely of Black men, but two-thirds of its members were women, nationally. The intersection of race and gender was at the forefront for women like Cleaver and what she says brings sheds more light on the importance of historical narrative, intersectionality, Black feminism, and dismantling racism.

In this podcast we discuss Black Power and the Black Panther Party with historian, Dr Ashley Farmer. Dr Farmer is the author of the fantastic book "Remaking Black Power: How Black Women Transformed an Era". What are the central principles of Black Power? Did Black Power start with Stokely Carmichael in 1966? We see that Black Power has a long history, going back to Marcus Garvey and Robert F Williams. Who were the Deacons for Defense? Black Power coalesced into a movement in the 1960's and 1970's. The term itself can actually be traced back to author Richard Wright. Dr Farmer shows how Black Power was more of an ideology, but that this way of thinking found expression in the Black Power Movement. Why is the Civil Rights Movement associated with non-violence, but Black Power with the use of force? How did this false dichotomy come about? Why do people still think Rosa Parks was either tired or old when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man? The Civil Rights Movement and Black Power were more like streams that weaved into each other. It wasn't necessarily two separate movements. Dr Farmer refers to these efforts for the liberation of African Americans as the Black Freedom Movement. But it is a fact that strategies and approaches differed depending on what black people's lives looked like. Why is Malcolm X considered the patron saint of Black Power? Why are women "left out" of the conventional Black Power narrative? Dr Farmer shows how the Moynihan Report of 1965 contributed to the silencing of women's voices. Who were some of important women in the Black Power movement? Ella Baker is quoted as saying "strong people don't need strong leaders". To do Black Women's history is to do grassroots history. Find out why this is the case. What is the origin story of the Black Panthers? Where did the ideas and icons for the Black Panthers come from? We learn that there was way more to the Black Panthers than the much publicized "police the police". We also talk about the roles of Angela Davis and Kathleen Cleaver. We conclude by discussing the link between Black Power and Black Lives Matter. This was truly a very insightful discussion about a topic that definitely needs re-investigation.

Stanley Tucci tells the story of Kathleen Cleaver, a leading light in the short-lived but highly influential Black Panther Party which was founded in Oakland, California. Kathleen Cleaver and the Panthers were sick of the compromises of the mainstream civil rights movement. Their militant approach influenced many other activists - including San Francisco's increasingly vocal LGBT community. But for the US government, the Panthers became public enemy number one - and leading figures like Cleaver were forced to flee.

Professor John H. Aldrich and John D. Griffin make a compelling case that competition between political parties is an essential component of a democracy that is responsive to its citizens and thus able to address their concerns.  In the modern era, as party competition in the South has come to be widely regarded as matching that of the North, Aldrich and Friffin explore the question of whether the South is poised to become a one-party system once again with the Republican party now dominant. Guests: John H. Aldrich is the Pfizer-Pratt University Professor of Political Science at Duke University. John D. Griffin is associate professor of political science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Then, We talk to George Katsiaficas about the revolutionary times of 1960's and how the civil movements in different countries and continents were intuitively tied together. Guest: George Katsiaficas is author of several books including the latest The Global Imagination of 1968: Revolution and Counterrevolution that he co-authored with Kathleen Cleaver and Carlos Muñoz .     The post Democracy and Why Parties Matter.

1-54 Forum New York 4- 6 May 2018 Intimate Strangers - The Black Panthers in Algiers For a good part of the 1960s and 70s Algiers was, in Amílcar Cabral's phrase, ‘the Mecca of Revolutionaries'. In 1969, Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver, seeking refuge from US justice, settled there, joining a cosmopolitan community of liberation movements. Elaine Mokhtefi (Journalist and Writer) helped establish the International Section of the BPP and accompanied the Cleavers on their eventful North African journey. She shares her memories with Sophia Azeb (Scholar and Specialist of black diasporas). Image: ©Katrina Sorrentino www.1-54.com

I veckans Stil Special ska vi göra några nedslag i vårt stora reportagearkiv och återigen få möta några av de personer som vi har träffat i våra program. Ämnena har, som alltid, skiftat mellan samtida och historiska personer, aktuella företeelser och fascinerande fenomen i tiden som har med stil att göra, på det ena eller andra viset. Och i reportagen har vi mött en stor samling människor som alla har något om just stil att berätta om, på olika vis.I programmet pratar vi med Kathleen Cleaver, som var en av den politiska rörelsen Svarta Pantrarnas mest inflytelserika personer på 1960-talet. Det är i år 50 år sedan Svarta Pantrarna grundades. Vi träffar också den svenska modeskaparen Minna Palmqvist som tycker om när kroppen inte riktigt beter sig som vi vill. Vi tar också en titt på flamencokulturens relation till prickar, samt pratar med dragdrottningen Admira Thunderpussy. Och så återvänder vi till en intervju från 2012 med racinglegenden Picko Troberg, som avled tidigare i år. Picko Troberg hade sin storhetstid på 1960-talet, då han inte bara vann fler SM-guld än någon annan han förde också in humor och underhållning i racingvärlden.Veckans programledare är Erik Sjölin.

Svarta pantrarna, eller Black Panther Party, var en av 1960-talets mest omtalade politiska grupper, som genom sin sällsynt självsäkra stil och attityd kommit att influera både mode, musik och politik. Det var inte bara Svarta pantrarnas budskap om svarta amerikaners rättigheter och deras sociala aktivitetsprogam  som gratis frukost till tiotusentals skolbarn över hela USA  som fick stor uppmärksamhet, det fick även deras stil. Svarta pantrarnas garderob, bestående av av svarta skinnjackor och baskrar, bröt mot den då gängse kostymstilen. Det var en väl medveten strategi. Svarta pantrarna ville nå en ny, och yngre, målgrupp som sökte andra typer av förebilder än vuxna i kostym och klänning. Det var trots allt 60-tal och ungdomskulturen bubblade som bäst. Varje ung svart man har en läderjacka, eller kan se till att skaffa eller låna en, förklarade Huey Newton och Bobby Seale, de två unga killarna bakom Svarta pantrarna, och dess look. Till skillnad från andra medborgarrättsrörelser valde Svarta pantrarna att beväpna sig. Bobby Seale och Huey Newton hade hittat en lucka i lagen som gav dem rätt att bära vapen, om de var synliga, och inte riktades mot någon person. Vapnen skulle bara användas i självförsvar. Men Svarta pantrarna var inte sena med att även låta noggrant stajlade bilder på beväpnade svarta pantrar börja cirkulera. Också det ett slags vapen som var minst lika, om inte mer effektivt, ifråga om marknadsföring. Det är i år femtio år sedan Svarta pantrarna grundades 1966 i Oakland, Kalifornien  något som uppmärksammats av bland andra artisten Beyoncé som nyligen uppträdde med ett stort gäng dansare klädda i just svart läder och baskrar under halvleken av årets Super Bowl, det vill säga den tv-sända finalmatchen i den amerikanska fotbollsligan. Effekten uteblev inte. Det blev ett hallå utan dess like, och det är inte helt omöjligt att de ytterst PR-medvetna pantrarna skulle ha varit rätt nöjda med uppmärksamheten hon skapade. I veckans program pratar vi med en av Svarta pantrarnas mest framträdande medlemmar  Kathleen Cleaver. Hon var partiets kommunikationschef och skötte kontakterna med pressen. Hon var alltså en av de personer som bidrog till att skapa den starka bild av Svarta pantrarna som lever kvar än idag.Vi pratar också med den brittiska komikern Shazia Mirza, som i sin nya humorshow The Kardashians Made Me Do It skämtar om kontroversiell politik. Vi tar också en närmare titt på munkjackan och vad den kan symbolisera. Och så undersöker vi hur den den svart pantern kom att bli ett av smyckevärldens mest kända motiv.

Kathleen Neal was born on May 13, 1945 in Memphis, Texas. With two parents who were college graduates, it wouldn’t be tough to see the important role that education and higher learning would go to play in her life; and also the intellect that she would go on to display in her activism work. Her father joined the Foreign Service and the family would spend the next several years in India, Liberia, Sierra Leone and the Philippines. These experiences abroad in countries populated mainly by people of color, especially such diverse ethnic groups would forever shape her demeanor and outlook. In the early 60’s, Kathleen Neal returned to the United States to go to high school. Initially she enrolled at Oberlin College in Ohio, and then transferred to Barnard College in New York City. In 1966, Neal’s heavier interest in activism saw her drop out of Barnard and concentrate her involvement in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. One of her first tasks was to organize a black student conference to take place at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. At this conference is where she would meet the then Minister of Information for the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, Eldridge Cleaver. Kathleen would go on to say her and Eldridge were a “meeting of the spirit, she was becoming a revolutionary and was very impressed with his statesmenlike quality.” carrying the name Kathleen Cleaver, she decided to leave SNCC and join her husband in San Francisco to work for the Black Panther Party. Cleaver would become the first woman included in the Party’s central committee. Engaged as the Communications Secretary, Cleaver’s role was to write and give speeches nationwide, and also be the media spokesperson for the organization. Kathleen returned to college receiving a full scholarship to Yale University in New Haven, CT where she would enroll in August 1981. She would graduate in 1983, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor of Arts in History. In 1987, Kathleen Cleaver divorced Eldridge, while in law school. She would graduate from Yale Law School in 1988; joining the New York City law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore shortly thereafter before accepting a position as a law clerk for the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia in 1991. Then in 1992, Cleaver joined the faculty of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia where she teaches the law.

According to Mumia Abu Jamal, August–in both historic and contemporary African American history–is a month of meaning, a month of repression. So today you will hear a commentary on the significance of Black August. You will also hear stories of resistance, both individually as well as collectively, from people like Angela Davis, Kathleen Cleaver and Asata Shakur. Additionally, you will hear stories of repression and rebellion as we present part two of the Black August Commemoration, originally produced by Black Panther veteran and revolutionary journalist, Kiilu Nyasha. This Black August Commemoration focuses on the life of freedom fighters and revolutionaries, including Soledad Brothers like George Jackson. We have music from Nina Simone, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Billy Taylor and Steel Pulse, as well as Jovelyn's World and the weekly calendar of events.
