This week, Kate describes the long tedious trip for early settlers to journey to their new homes in Haliburton County. Plus, Paul has the story of the American Convention of Colored Freemen held at Toronto's St Lawrence Hall in September 1851. It was an opportunity for North American Black and White leaders to gather and discuss issues facing free and escaped Blacks from the US. Canada was a safe space to hold the Covention - especially given the American Fugitive Slave Act that had resulted in escaped salaves being returned to slavery in the South, and even instances of free Blacks being kidnapped and sold into slavery without legal recourse. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com

For decades, North American Black women have been using hair relaxers to help them fit into mainstream workplaces and the European standards of beauty that continue to dominate them. More recently, research has linked these relaxers to cancer and reproductive health issues - and a spate of lawsuits across the United States, and at least one in Canada, have been brought by Black women against the makers of these relaxants. Cheryl Thompson, a professor at Toronto Metropolitan University and author of "Beauty in a Box: Detangling the Roots of Canada's Black Beauty Culture," joins Vinita to untangle the complicated history Black women like herself have with hair relaxants - and where these lawsuits might lead.

Welcome back to the NextGen Humanities PodcastThis time around we’re talking about the black liberation movements throughout the 20th century and beyond the borders of the United States. It’s a great pleasure to be able to introduce Wendell Adjetey (A-jay-tay), Assistant Professor of History at McGill University in Montreal. He completed his PhD at Yale University and then was a fellow at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and a lecturer in the Department of History. Dr. Adjetey’s research has garnered many prizes and fellowships. In addition to his scholarly work, he has written articles for The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Walrus, and The National Post.Wendell Adjetey is a premiere scholar who has done the dirty work in the archives to uncover untold stories about the history of black liberation movements and how the US and Canadian governments worked to undermine them. He’s bringing a wealth of new information together to form a truly North American story, rather than one that’s limited by the confines of the United States. His website is linked above at his name where you can find more of his publications.Keep an eye out for his upcoming book. Thanks to Adam Pisarkiewicz for the music.
Beginning with spoken word performed by Phil Allen, a panel that includes Candace Shields, Eric Williams, Vincent Lloyd, and Lisa Thompson, moderated by Dwight Radcliff, responds to questions from lectures during the Black Public Theology Symposium. The panelists discuss issues such as how Black theology interacts with experiences beyond the North American Black church, the essential work of knowing oneself, understanding Jesus’ blackness, the role of passion, and the inclusion of LGBTQIA in Black religious space. The Black Public Theology Symposium was held at Fuller in October 2018. The symposium sought to bring the Black academy and the Black church into dialogue and explore ways to distill Black theology and make it accessible to the Black church and community.

In this episode we take a critical look at the liberal discourse of police reform, which has increasingly gained prominence amidst the ever-recurring specter of racist police violence, and especially in the wake of black rebellions in Ferguson and Baltimore, and the intensification of North American Black liberation struggles these rebellions galvanized. Alex Vitale, Professor of Sociology at Brooklyn College and author of The End of Policing, speaks about the ways liberalism works to shore up the violence of policing through cosmetic, technocratic reforms, while ultimately failing to interrogate the origins and nature of police as a coercive instrument of state power, wielded to reproduce the social inequalities inherent to racial capitalism. We also speak with Charlene Carruthers, national director of Black Youth Project 100 and board member for the women of color reproductive justice collective SisterSong, on organizing through a Black queer feminist lens and pushing towards a society that’s organized around community, rather than punishment.
Shalom everyone, i originally was supposed to do a show on Naturalization, voting and why we as Blacks don't express or utilize the natural rights of being a American Citizen that others flock here from other countries to enjoy and covet. Instead I will be playing clips and commenting on a book I just bought based off having listened to a radio show. Everyone should know by bnow that i created this show for the North American Black woman to tell (our) true story of how we have been being treated correction mis-treated over here in North America better known as Hell, Hades aka The Underworld while the Media, our men and the international community has painted us all as gold digging, whores and sluts who are trying ever so hard to be white women because of how much we hate ourselves. While I will not deny that there may be some truth to all of the above epitets, what is not known is (how) we got (reduced) to all of those very demeaning, negative and degrading labels as well as images of crackheads, beasties and gregariously loud, loose women. There are so many players who played a part and had a hand in making us that way who somehow are allowed to walk amongst us and dress themselves up in the garments of respectabilty and reverence while at the same time really being MONSTERS children are never allowed to escape from. Trust me, you dont want to miss this show. Especially if you are a Sister who has survived rape X 9, neglect and abuse but are still alive to talk about it and can still laugh, love and hold your head up high and be a blessing to another surviver sister. When it is alluded to that Black Women are the STRONGEST species of woman on the earth, it is only because of our ability to overcome and endure that which have completely broken and or DESTROYED other women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eJAb6FcRio
Shalom everyone. Tonight I will talk about Black children and the hardship of Black women raising them in racist white America. Often without the aid of their Fathers or even a cohesive Black villiage to turn too the way we once had. History shows us there has aways been a WAR on the indigenous North American Black woman and her children. In many cases without her or her children even knowing it. As usual my own personal experiences will be used as a source of reference to help other mothers or wanna be mothers know when it is ok to (demand) that your child go and find their own way in life. Some of us feel so fortunate to have children who were not killed or sent off to prison that some Black women find ways to keep their children dependant on them when they should be preparing them to be responsible, self sufficient tax payers. Sometimes though we have that very rebellious and dominant child whos personality is so atrocious that getting rid of them may reuire more than just asking them to leave. These ones often times require YOU to totally cut all ties with them and for whatever reason we just won't do it. In some cases the results is the lost of someones life and the ultimate ruin of others. From all sides, noone comes away a winner. If you have any good parenting stories, call in, lets talk let's share. Often times parents, especially single ones need to find ways to do the right thing and let their disagreeable dependants go without it sending them into depression or unjustified guilt. 9Mind Sacred Sisterhood Class is now in session. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2r_ibT7d44
