How should U.S history be told, and who gets to tell it? Debate over these questions has raged for years – but nowhere is it more pronounced right now than in Florida. This week, Brittany Luse chats with NPR's Giulia Heyward to get the download on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' recent efforts to ban AP African American studies in his state. Then, Brittany sits down with Dorothy Roberts, a legal scholar and sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, and Leslie Alexander, a historian at Rutgers University. In line with their work on The 1619 Project – now a Hulu documentary series –they make the case that slavery led to some of our biggest political fissures today, and discuss why it's important for all Americans to understand those connections.You can follow us on Twitter @ItsBeenAMin or email us at ibam@npr.org.

The revolution in Haiti freed the country from French control and created the first Black republic after years of fighting, in 1804. Leslie Alexander tells Don how the revolution became possible and why it had such an impact on the United States - which doubled in size following the Louisiana Purchase from France when the revolution was almost won; and whose white population feared a similar uprising by its own enslaved black community.Produced by Benjie Guy.

On this episode of Justice Matters, host Sushma Raman speaks with Dr. Leslie Alexander about the history of Black Internationalism and its ties to today's global Black Lives Matter movement. Her newest book, Fear of a Black Republic: Haiti and the Birth of Black Internationalism in the United States, examines how the Haitian Revolution and the emergence of Haiti as a sovereign Black nation inspired the birth of Black internationalist consciousness in the United States. Alexander is the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of History at Rutgers University. A specialist in early African American and African Diaspora history, she is the author of African or American?: Black Identity and Political Activism in New York City, 1784-1861 and the co-editor of three additional volumes. A recipient of several prestigious fellowships, including the Ford Foundation Senior Fellowship, Alexander is the immediate Past President of the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora (ASWAD), and is an Executive Council member of the National Council for Black Studies (NCBS).

Part 2 picks up the story during the reign of Boyer. Listen as Dr. Alexander illuminates the ways in which some Black Americans became disillusioned with the policies and decisions made by the Boyer administration. Haitian independence influenced Black thought and action in the United States. Other Black activists in the United States continued to embrace a common identity with Haiti's people, forging the idea of a united struggle that merged the destinies of Haiti with their own striving for freedom. A bold discussion on Black internationalism's origins, Fear of a Black Republic stitches together the Haitian revolution to the global Black pursuit of liberation, justice, and social equality.

Alexander reveals the untold story of how free and enslaved Black people in the United States defended the young Caribbean nation from forces intent on maintaining slavery and white supremacy.

In 1804, Haiti became the first nation to free itself from slavery, much to the disdain of the U.S. and the world's leading European powers. Scars of colonialism and generations of racism have set Haiti back, and the country has been paying the economic price for freedom for over 200 years.   Ray sits down with Haitian author Évelyne Trouillot and historian Leslie Alexander for a conversation about Haiti's turbulent history since its revolution.   Guests:   Leslie Alexander, Professor of History at Arizona State University, activist and author Evelyne Trouillot, Author, Poet and Professor of French at Universite d'Etat d'Haiti   Host:     Ray Suarez   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

Leslie Alexander plays Mrs. Higgins in next weeks performance and tells us about the beautiful costumes, and how they changed the ending? 

When a slave revolt in Haitian became a revolution that abolished slavery and created the first sovereign Black nation in the Americas, it was kind of a big deal. And, being a Black American history podcast, this episode is about how Haitian independence influenced and affected America, particularly Black people. Since the Haitian Revolution does not get enough attention my guest, Dr. Leslie Alexander starts the episode with a quick dive into some of its details. Then, we discuss how a free Haiti polarized America as it drove White America to fear and Black America to pride. For Black Americans, how Haiti fared under Black leadership seemed directly connected to other own liberation so they constantly advocated for the island. Even when the island could not meet Black American expectations because of global racism, Black people would not speak badly about it. To them, if America and the world at large would not allow Haiti to succeed, their own success was doomed as well. And, in many ways, they were right to be rooting for everybody Black. Dr. Alexander's book Fear of a Black Republic: How Haitian Sovereignty Inspired the Birth of Black Internationalism is set for release this fall.

UnTextbooked producer Sydne Clarke thinks that African American history is often oversimplified or overlooked. Often that history is taught as things that happened to African Americans. We don't often hear about the ways in which African Americans fought for and took care of themselves. Dr. Leslie Alexander studies Black resistance movements, particularly in America. In her research Dr. Alexander has discovered communities and people who were vital to Black activism, but are often forgotten in re-telling African American history.On this episode of UnTextbooked, Sydne interviews Dr. Alexander about her book African or American? Black Identity and Political Activism in New York City, 1784-1861. They talk about the creation of Black-led organizations for mutual aid, and about how African heritage influenced Black activism then and now.Book: African or American?

Just weeks after the assassination of Haiti's president, the island nation was rocked by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. More powerful than the deadly 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people, the 2021 quake hit a remote part of Haiti, but it still killed more than 2,000 people and destroyed tens of thousands of homes. We start with an audio diary from Jean Simon Féguens, an English teacher from Les Cayes, one of the cities hardest hit by the disaster. Next, former US Ambassador to Haiti Pamela White reflects on lessons learned about aid distribution after the 2010 earthquake. Then, we turn to Haitian author Évelyne Trouillot and historian Leslie Alexander, for a conversation about Haiti's turbulent history since its revolution. In 1804, Haiti became the first nation to free itself from slavery. According to Trouillot and Alexander, it has been paying for its freedom ever since.  Guests: Leslie Alexander, Professor of History at Arizona State University, activist and author; Evelyne Trouillot, Author, Poet and Professor of French at Universite d'Etat d'Haiti; Pamela White, Former US Ambassador to Haiti, 2012-2015; Jean Simon Féguens, English Teacher in Les Cayes, Haiti Hosts: Ray Suarez, Co-host, WorldAffairs; Teresa Cotsirilos, Co-host & Senior Producer, WorldAffairs If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to WorldAffairs.

Addendum to application

Billionaires in the News: Billionaire Ray Dalio, CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, is worried that capitalism might not be working for the majority of people. So, he wrote a long essay about it and posted it to LinkedIn like any normal person would. Then he did interviews about the letter with NPR and 60 Minutes. The letter is a kind of Rosetta Stone that starkly lays out the peculiarities of the billionaire mindset. We didn’t want to get bogged down in a close reading here, but we’re planning a much more developed analysis of it in the near future. Spoiler alert: The letter is a defense of the status quo that targets people who see themselves as part of the “rational center.” Isn’t it funny how “political centrism,” the machine that brought you both Ray Dalio and the crises of capitalism he describes, is still assumed to be where levelheadedness and practicality reside in American politics? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-how-capitalism-needs-reformed-parts-1-2-ray-dalio?trk=portfolio_article-card_title This week’s census entries (@ 14:00): Our two billionaires for this week are James Coulter and Leslie Alexander. Coulter runs TPG Capital, which is one of the largest private equity firms. He loves to say stuff like "Data is the new oil." We spend a lot of time talking about what private equity is and how it works. The cool thing about private equity is that it has about $2 trillion in assets under management, making it one of the largest sectors of the economy and no one except the super rich are allowed to participate in it. If corporations are people, then PE firms are vampires. Leslie Alexander is the former owner of the Houston Rockets who is mixed up in “securitizing” private student loan debt taken out by students to pay for-profit colleges. Securitizing means “bundling,” which means packaging and reselling debt to investors, which, as far as I know, has caused no problems whatsoever in the past. His student loan company, First Marblehead went bankrupt because of too many people defaulting on loans. The company rebranded as Cognition Financial and the website says they do “private student loan solutions you can trust,” so presumably they’ve fixed all the problems and everything is good now. Episode notes: I didn’t explain the Saudi/Blackstone infrastructure investing deal very clearly, so here’s an article that spells things out. I suggest making sure you read the “skipping deals” and “royal privacy” sections of the article. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-22/how-blackstone-landed-20-billion-from-saudis-for-infrastructure Here’s a link to Josh Kosman’s book on PE: https://www.amazon.com/Buyout-America-Private-Destroying-American/dp/B005DI8VK0
