It was in Plainfield, NJ, in 1971 where our guest - Ashanti Alston - joined The Black Panther Party, radicalized in the wake of the 1967 Newark Riots and Malcolm X's assassination years earlier. Ashanti would begin his life as an anarchist on that day, and it has guided his every step – through the Panther Party, then the Black Liberation Army, his incarceration, and his work honoring the sacrifice of political prisoners in the name of Black liberation with The Jericho Movement. Ashanti now has a 21st-century view of the impact of his radical brothers and sisters and the lessons learned from a lifetime of seeking Black liberation, that he shared with Jay in January 2023. __________________________ Black History Year (BHY) is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

This opens up a conversaiton of why it’s important to have folks of a specific community and culture working on a project it's refrencing. We dive into what REALLY happened during the Detroit Riots,  and why you can skip Bigelow’s movie!

Over a period of four days in 1967, Newark was one of over 150 U.S. cities rocked by rioting, looting, and property destruction, with 26 deaths and hundreds injured. This week on EJB Talks Associate Dean Stuart Shapiro takes a look back at those tumultuous events with Linda Stamato and Sandy Jaffe, co-directors of the Bloustein Center for Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. Sandy chaired the Lilley Commission which recommended changes in the wake of the riots and Linda has spent a career advocating for the improvement of conflict resolution. They draw lessons from their experiences to discuss the protests in recent weeks, and discuss the parallels between two very different eras, the importance of educating leaders about long-standing disparities, and the necessity of building community in order to move forward. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ejbtalks/message

This week we are wrapping up the second part of the series "Black Superheroes Do Exist". I recently had the pleasure to sit down with my grandfather and get a history lesson on his life. He was the son of a sharecropper who left the farm to pursue education, he became a paratrooper in the army, a master electrician, and then he proceeded to grow in the ranks of the Newark Police Department. In this 60 year story, we uncover his motivation and drive for which made him the man he is today. From The March on Washington in 1963 to surviving the Newark Riots in 1967 this man has seen it all and I am here to help tell his story.

Taylor Swift wrote a song called "ME" and your hungry hosts have a problem with it. The Jonas Brothers are so goddamn cute. Seriously. They also break down Justin Bieber inflating Christ Brown's ego, and Britney Spears. The Fatphobic Disaster is Avengers Endgame and Thor in a goddamn fatsuit. The Body Politics Win is LITERALLY anything Lizzo says or does. The FUS History Lesson is the Newark Riots o 1967. The MakeupMinute is TatBrow and Becca UnderEye Primer. Recommendations are: Special and Homecoming on Netflix.

This week we are doing something different. I recently had the pleasure to sit down with my grandfather and get a history lesson on his life.
