Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Ortiz

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Quincy Institute, to discuss the state of play in Israel/Gaza nearly 3 months after October 7th. Then, they're joined by Paul Ortiz, professor of history at the University of Florida, to discuss how unions in Florida have been pushing back against Gov. Ron DeSantis's draconian anti-labor policy in the state. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the recent attack on Iran's memorial for General Soleimani that killed 100, Israel's drone strike in Beirut, Bernie's call to block additional funding for Israel, the Fed's case against Menendez, the House GOP's consolidation around Trump as their majority thins, Texan fascism, and the Ivy president debacle, before parsing through Israel's absurd escalation of their ongoing conflict to the wider region of the Middle East. After briefly tackling the growing indictments against Senator Bob Menendez, Trita Parsi joins to discuss Israel expanding its offensive to Beirut and Damascus alongside the unclaimed terror attack, all serving to reinforce Israel's desire to bring this conflict onto the regional stage. Expanding on this, Parsi discusses Israel's apparent tact of provoking a military response from Iran, or a greater escalation from Hezbollah, and why that hinges on the US' unconditional support for Israel's disproportionate responses. Next, Trita, Sam, and Emma parse through what this potential escalation means for direct US military action, including the clear alignment of Houthi attacks on US troops with Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and what it means for Israel's multi-decade attempt to inspire war between the US and Iran. Wrapping up, Parsi looks at the Biden Administration's unwavering support for this conflict, and whether there's any hope for his electoral coalition moving forward. Paul Ortiz then joins, as he walks through the history of the United Faculty of Florida, formed in the 1970s in response to decades of attacks against Floridian educators over criticizing the American right or supporting progressive causes, and contextualizes their current work within the Florida Education Association. After expanding on the ongoing bout of attacks against educational freedom by Ron DeSantis' administration, with help from Chris Rufo, Ortiz dives into the union's emphasis on the social justice model of organizing, using community ties and interaction to bolster their intersectional approach to supporting their teachers amid ongoing attacks, before wrapping up with an assessment of UFF's incredible success in fighting back against fascism, and the hope that lies in the students they support.   And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Israel's telling response to South Africa initiating a suit against them over crimes of genocide in the International Criminal Court, Michael Knowles pleads with his followers to make Nazi propaganda out of beloved animated children's characters, and Tim Pool reflects on the pre-Mohammad era of humanity. Aaron Rodgers puts his bad foot in his mouth over the Epstein list, Nick from Michigan discusses pressuring Biden from the left (and the importance of the Democratic primaries in doing so), Aaron from Texas dissects the hypocrisy of Bill Maher, and Nick from Winnepeig on talking with conservatives, plus, your calls and IMs!

Worse than McCarthyism? In this episode of Banished, we explore the all-out assault on academic freedom in higher education in Florida. Turns out there's a long history of campus witch-hunts in the state. We spoke with Robert Cassenello (history professor at University of Central Florida), Paul Ortiz (history professor at the University of Florida), James Grossman (executive director of the American Historical Association) and Ellen Schrecker (professor emerita at Yeshiva University).

This episode discusses the work of Ella Baker and the different traditions and influences that shaped her organizing and her understanding of democracy. Baker didn't write much and what she did write is not widely available. Instead, her approach is taught through accounts of it by historians of the civil rights movement and her biographers. So it is her life and practice that I focus on in this two part episode. In part 1 of the episode I discuss Baker's biography, her vision of democracy, and her legacy with my colleague, Wesley Hogan. Wesley is Research Professor at the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke. She has researched and written extensively on the civil rights movement, particularly the work of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (or SNCC) which Baker helped organize and within which Baker was a key figure. And in her most recent book, Wesley examines contemporary movements influenced by Baker such as the Movement for Black Lives and the International Indigenous Youth Council, which is involved in the struggle to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline and protect sovereign control of Indigenous lands. GuestWesley Hogan is Research Professor at the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University. She writes and teaches the history of youth social movements, human rights, documentary studies, and oral history. Her book books include, On the Freedom Side, which draws a portrait of young people organizing in the spirit of Ella Baker since 1960; Many Minds, One Heart: SNCC's Dream for a New America (2009) and a volume co-edited with Paul Ortiz entitled, People Power: History, Organizing, and Larry Goodwyn's Democratic Vision in the Twenty-First Century. Between 2003-2013, she taught at Virginia State University, where she worked with the Algebra Project and the Young People's Project. From 2013-2021, she served as Director of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke. She co-facilitates a partnership between the SNCC Legacy Project and Duke,The SNCC Digital Gateway, the purpose of which is to bring the grassroots stories of the civil rights movement to a much wider public through a web portal, K12 initiative, and set of critical oral histories.Resources for Going DeeperCharles Payne, “Slow and Respectful Work” & “Mrs Hamer is No Longer Relevant,” I've Got the Light of Freedom: The Organizing Tradition and the Mississippi Freedom Struggle (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996), Ch.'s 8 & 13.Barbara Ransby, Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement: A Radical Democratic Vision (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 2003).J.

After the University of Florida administration blocked faculty from testifying in a voting rights case, a battle over academic freedom broke out in the state, garnering national attention and a court case.  Paul Ortiz, professor of history at the University of Florida and president of the United Faculty of Florida-UF, talks to host Mariah Quinn about how faculty in the state are geared up to protect academic freedom and the first amendment.Episode links:AAUP President Cautions Against Lack of Transparency as University of Florida Seeks New PresidentUniversity of Florida's Politically Motivated Violation of Academic Freedom Undermines the Common Good"Judge rules for professors in University of Florida academic freedom case,"   Susan Svrluga and Lori Rozsa The Washington Post"UF researchers felt pressure to destroy COVID-19 data, faculty report says," Divya Kumar, Tampa Bay Times

Academic freedom is under attack on the campuses of Florida's colleges and universities, perhaps none more so than the University of Florida. Recently, we sat down with three university faculty to discuss the current attacks, gain an historical perspective and learn what steps all of us can take to fight these attacks on academic freedom.  Episode 13 Show Notes: Guests Show Resources Transcript Guests Andrew Gothard, Ph.D., Florida Atlantic UniversityUnited Faculty of Florida, President, FEA/NEA/AFT/AFL-CIOhttps://myuff.org/officers/    UFF News: https://myuff.org/news-coverage/Paul Ortiz, Ph.D., Department of History, University of Florida and Authorhttps://history.ufl.edu/directory/current-faculty/paul-ortiz/Deandre Poole, Ph.D., School of Communication and Multimedia Studies, Florida Atlantic Universityhttps://www.fau.edu/artsandletters/scms/faculty/poole/ Resources HB 233 Intellectual Freedom SurveyFlorida Governor Approves Controversial Bill on Campus ‘Intellectual Freedom'Debate over academic freedom spills into Florida litigation, legislationUF Voting Rights ChallengeUnited Faculty of Florida list of demands to save academic freedomA choice for the University of Florida: Academic freedom or government stooge | EditorialUF task force recommends high bar for blocking faculty from expert testimony against stateAmid free speech concerns, UF declares it is ‘free from undue influence' Faculty greet the message with skepticism, calling it “superficial.”Book Ban850 Books Texas Lawmaker Matt Krause Wants to BanA Texas lawmaker is targeting 850 books that he says could make students feel uneasyJohns CommitteeHomosexuality and Citizenship in Florida: A Report of the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, January, 1964Behind Closed Doors: The Dark History of the Johns Committee  TranscriptAndrew Spar, FEA President: Hi, this is FEA president Andrew Spar.

Hey, Luke, I don't know if you've noticed most of our episodes have focused on issues related to pre-kindergarten to 12th grade education. But this episode is going to focus on higher education, which is a crown jewel for the state of Florida.I don't know if most people realize that our colleges and our universities are consistently ranked among the best in the nation. In fact, US News and World Report recently ranked the University of Florida as a top five public university in the country. Go Gators!Luke Flynt, Host: Go Gators? I don't know, Tina, did you hear about this? A little more than a month after they received the prestigious honor of being ranked the fifth public university in the nation, UF found itself back in the news for a much more concerning reason.News broke that UF was preventing three professors from serving as expert witnesses in a trial on voting rights in Florida. This sparked some very serious concerns about academic and intellectual freedom being under attack.Tina: And that's why you'll hear from our guests today as they tell us this lawsuit debacle is not an isolated incident.

El 11 de septiembre de 2001 fue un inmenso punto de inflexión para la ciudad de Nueva York, un verdadero antes y después. ¿Qué ha cambiado desde entonces? ¿Cómo protegerse, y cómo recordar? Recabamos testimonios de miembros de las fuerzas de seguridad y familiares de víctimas. Un reportaje de Silvina Sterin Pensel, @SilSterinPensel El golpe recibido ese 11 de septiembre de 2001 fue por demás letal y Nueva York, la ciudad que nunca duerme, comenzó a vivir intranquila, en un estado de neurosis y sospecha de todo y de todos. La diabólica ejecución de los ataques terroristas en la Gran Manzana dejó expuestos innumerables flancos débiles y vulnerabilidades en materia de seguridad. Esto resultó en la inmediata toma de medidas tanto a nivel local como federal. Los cambios fueron radicales y la ciudad se convirtió en una fortaleza con una presencia militar nunca vista antes del 11-S.  Una fortaleza constantemente vigilada Miembros de las fuerzas armadas vigilan las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana y los 12 meses del año, los puntos neurálgicos de la metrópolis. Fuertemente armados, monitorean terminales de transporte con gran flujo de pasajeros como Grand Central y Penn Station, el Bajo Manhattan cerca del World Trade Center y el Oculus, y por supuesto los aeropuertos, JFK, La Guardia y Newark. Con sus rifles de asalto y sus uniformes camuflados, estos soldados, marinos y personal de la fuerza aérea son hoy, a 20 años de los ataques terroristas, parte integral del paisaje y la cotidianidad de Nueva York. Todos ellos son miembros de la Guardia Nacional y pertenecen a la Misión Conjunta Escudo del Imperio, en inglés, Joint Task Force Empire Shield. El coronel Paul Salas es el comandante de esta fuerza que fue activada en octubre del 2001 para prevenir, detectar y sofocar futuros ataques terroristas: “La Misión Conjunta Escudo del Imperio nació el 11 de septiembre. Como resultado de los ataques en la ciudad de Nueva York, el gobernador del estado de Nueva York decidió asignar fuerzas militares, entonces somos una fuerza estatal con la tarea de proveer seguridad a la ciudad de Nueva York. Las autoridades estatales decidieron que la Guardia Nacional esté en la ciudad de forma permanente”, explica. En el hall principal de Grand Central, dos militares, Ortiz y Dasilva, pasan con sus rifles de largo alcance al lado de una parejita que se toma selfies, cerca del imponente reloj ubicado en el centro de la estación.  ¿Están tomando fotos de potenciales blancos? ¿Están demasiado abrigados para el clima de verano? Esas son algunas de las situaciones que pondrían en alerta a los militares. El coronel Salas explica cuál es la dinámica de trabajo de los soldados: “A medida que pasa el tiempo, vamos generando experiencia en los distintos sitios de la misión y así identificamos lo que se considera un comportamiento normal para un pasajero, y después si vemos a alguien comportándose un poco diferente, es ese comportamiento anormal lo que va a llamar la atención de los miembros de la fuerza”. “La prioridad es que siempre funcionemos en grupos de al menos dos militares por motivos de seguridad. Los propios miembros están súper bien entrenados, rigurosamente entrenados, y listos para usar sus armas, y cada 10 o 15 minutos rotan en todos los puestos para no perder la vigilancia. Es muy importante que siempre estén alerta, pero a la vez que sean accesibles al público”, añade. “Un factor disuasorio” La sargento Amanda Ortiz está en su puesto desde las cinco de la mañana. Tenía 11 años cuando las torres fueron atravesadas por los aviones y las vio colapsar en vivo en un televisor que había en su escuela: “Yo estaba en quinto grado cuando fueron los ataques. Vi muchas cosas y honestamente fue algo realmente muy duro que nos destrozó el corazón acá en Nueva York. Hace ya siete años que estoy con las Fuerzas Armadas, pasamos por un entrenamiento riguroso y prestamos atención a cómo se comporta la gente. uno puede notar las pequeñas diferencias entre alguien que es normal, comparado con alguien que no está haciendo lo correcto. Realmente adoro mi trabajo, es increíble y la gente nos agradece a menudo por estar acá protegiendo a Nueva York”, cuenta. Para el mayor Michael O´Hagan, un militar de alto rango en la misión, la mera presencia física de los uniformados funciona como un freno a potenciales actividades terroristas: “Simplemente que estén presentes en todos estos lugares alrededor de Nueva York es un factor disuasorio. La gente que nos quiere hacer daño se da cuenta de que hay un equipo impresionante que está acá para prevenir ataques, para frenarlos y para proteger a los ciudadanos. Pienso que la mera presencia física de los militares brinda cierto nivel de seguridad para los ciudadanos y hace que nuestros enemigos sepan que no estamos bajando la guardia, estamos siempre listos, estamos siempre ahí y estamos acá para defender nuestro territorio”, comenta. Pero para algunos civiles, en particular turistas, tener tan cerca este tipo de armamento pesado causa sensaciones encontradas. Es el caso para Daniela Godoy y Piera Valdivia, que vienen de Santiago de Chile: “Por un lado, a mí me da tranquilidad porque igual ante cualquier cosa sabemos que va a haber respuesta inmediata, pero igual como que me da miedo porque es sentir que en cualquier momento va a pasar algo. Es como un pro y un contra que estén aquí en la estación central”, expresan. Las jóvenes vinieron justo para el aniversario de los 20 años del horror del World Trade Center y visitaron el Museo de la Memoria. “Vamos a ver el homenaje que van a hacer y fuimos al Memorial del 11 de Septiembre y como que su historia nos llega a nosotros igual de cierta forma… como que sentimos el dolor de lo que pasó ese día y fue muy nostálgico”. “Estar lo más cerca posible de mi papá” Para Rebecca Ortiz, esa nostalgia no resurge únicamente cada 11 de septiembre, sino que convive con ella todo el tiempo. Era una bebita de apenas nueve meses cuando su padre, Paul Ortiz Jr., quedó atrapado en el piso más alto de la Torre Norte, el 107. Hoy Rebecca vive junto a su madre en Florida y tiene 20 años, la misma edad que tenía su papá cuando falleció.  Cada aniversario, regresan a New York. En lo que supo ser la zona cero, escuchan el potente sonido del agua cayendo al vacío en las fuentes del memorial. Para Rebecca, estas huellas inmensas ubicadas exactamente donde estaban las Gemelas, son especiales: “Significan mucho para mí, emocionalmente y físicamente. Me dan una sensación de paz y es un lugar donde puedo estar tranquila y realmente estar lo más cerca posible de mi papá, porque sus restos nunca se encontraron, ni nada, entonces estar acá es un poco como visitar su tumba”. Su nombre, Paul Ortiz Jr., inscripto en bronce junto a las otras casi 3.000 víctimas que murieron en los atentados, está bien cerca del agua. Algo que, según su esposa, Estrellita, lo hubiera hecho inmensamente feliz: “Paulie era un fanático de la playa, le fascinaba el agua, el mar. Entonces yo siento el presentimiento de él ahí”. A pesar de no haber compartido tiempo con su padre, Rebecca lo conoce bien a fondo gracias a la dedicación de sus abuelos paternos que se entregaron a la tarea de enseñarle a su nieta sus gustos, sus anécdotas, las cosas que lo hacían reír, todo sobre ese joven chispeante que se fue demasiado pronto. “Ellos siempre me mostraron fotos de él, siempre mirábamos videos caseros de cuando mi papá era chico y cuando iban de campamento, o videos de viajes con la familia. A él le encantaba estar al aire libre, en la naturaleza, y hay videos de él empujando la carriola conmigo cuando yo era bebé y yo estoy ahí incluida, y es muy lindo para mí poder ver cómo era él conmigo”, explica la joven. Una jugarreta del destino quiso que Paul Ortiz estuviera en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado. Era técnico en redes y trabajaba para la compañía Bloomberg, en otro edificio fuera del World Trade Center.  Esa mañana fatal le habían asignado estar desde bien temprano en el restaurante ubicado en la cima de la Torre Norte, preparando los equipos para un desayuno empresarial: “En el último piso que era el Windows On The World, incluso ahí fue que cenamos el día que nos casamos. Él estaba ahí y me llamaron de Bloomberg diciéndome que ellos estaban en comunicación con ellos vía computadora y que… cuando… el edificio cayó… se había perdido toda comunicación”, cuenta Estrellita, emocionada. Missing Person Rebecca aún conserva en su cuarto la foto de Missing Person, persona desaparecida con la que sus parientes empapelaron distintas estaciones del subterráneo neoyorquino uniéndose a los anhelos de miles de familias aferradas a la posibilidad de encontrar a sus seres queridos con vida. “Mi familia pegó fotos y carteles cuando fue el ataque, eran carteles de Persona Desaparecida, uno era una foto de él conmigo, nosotros juntos, con su descripción y todo. Me acuerdo que en la foto, en el cartel describían lo que él tenía puesto, un colgante con su nombre, Paulie, un reloj, su anillo, el uniforme del trabajo y después decía que él tenía una familia que lo esperaba y que si alguien lo había visto”, recuerda la joven. Estrellita, acompañada únicamente por la esperanza, pasó un largo tiempo pendiente del teléfono: “Yo estuve meses no queriendo aceptar la realidad… Yo esperaba que me iban a llamar y me iban a decir él está bien, lo sacamos, está en tal sitio… La esperanza siempre estuvo ahí”. El día continúa acompañado por la potencia del agua y cada vez llega más gente a visitar las reflecting pools, las fuentes del memorial y el Museo del 11 de septiembre. Muchos se toman retratos con las piscinas y la Freedom Tower de fondo.  Rebecca alza los ojos –esos que muchos le dicen son idénticos a los de su padre– y contempla en silencio la masa espejada del One World Trade Center y su aguja. “Es medio loco que una torre pueda ser así de alta, sobre todo considerando todo lo que pasó, la Freedom Tower básicamente es otro blanco de ataque porque es un tributo a la memoria de los que no están y además es súper alta… Eso me da un poco de miedo pero… pienso que el aura de esta torre… con las fuentes es lindo y todo en conjunto es como un símbolo de cómo eran las cosas antes”. En los aires Cada vez que un avión surca el cielo de Manhattan, se eriza la piel de los neoyorquinos que inmediatamente intercambian miradas llenas de ansiedad. Es allí, en la esfera del transporte aéreo donde se han registrado los cambios más importantes para prevenir otro ataque. Bart Johnson es responsable de la seguridad en 13 aeropuertos del estado de Nueva York y trabaja bajo la órbita de la TSA, la Administración de Seguridad para el Transporte, una agencia federal con 65 mil empleados, creada dos meses después de los atentados en noviembre del 2001. Algunos de estos cambios son obvios, como tener que sacarse los zapatos, las chaquetas, no llevar líquidos y separar las computadoras, pero muchos otros son menos visibles y controlados exclusivamente por la tripulación de vuelo. “No quieren que la gente se reúna en la parte de adelante del avión, es únicamente de a una persona por vez y ahora además las puertas de la cabina están totalmente reforzadas para prevenir cualquier agresión, y eso se puso en práctica inmediatamente después del 11 de septiembre cuando fortalecieron todas las puertas. Y no solamente eso, también se adoptó el servicio federal de los Marshalls, que van armados a bordo de vuelos domésticos y también internacionales basado en información de inteligencia. Tenemos también, a nivel federal, un programa por el que los pilotos van armados y son entrenados especialmente en cómo usar esas armas”, explica Bart Johnson. Más allá de estos cambios y de la constante incorporación de nuevas tecnologías preventivas, Johnson es honesto en su análisis: “Antes que nada, la amenaza todavía está presente. Yo creo que estamos haciendo un trabajo excelente en detectar esa amenaza, usando equipamiento, usando entrenamiento, con la ayuda de los oficiales y agentes, pero como dice el viejo refrán… nosotros tenemos que hacer todo perfecto todo el tiempo, y para los terroristas basta con que sean perfectos una única vez. Entonces tenemos a cargo una misión sumamente importante, somos los últimos en la línea de defensa, y estamos acá haciendo nuestro trabajo para garantizar que los pasajeros estén fuera de peligro”. En estos tiempos más que volátiles, y sobre todo aquí en la Gran Manzana, todos esperan que lo sucedido jamás vuelva a repetirse.

In 1919, shortly after the ending of world war 1. A group of Black Floridians in Jacksonville established these educational meetings for Black Floridians. These meetings centered on voting and the importance of voting. In the 19th and throughout the 20th century, much of the south had a one-party rule. Southern Democrats had control and, this made it harder for Black Americans' lives regarding economic stability, education, health care and protection from violence like lynchings. And so this group in Jacksonville was like enough is, we are going to participate in the voting process whether they like it or not. And this is what starts the voter registration movement or what historian Paul Ortiz, who wrote a book about this movement, calls The Florida Movement. A campaign made up of Black Floridians and white republicans (the parties were different back then) to register as many Black Floridians as possible. This is the story of the Florida movement and Mary McLeod Bethune's pivotal role in the movement.  To read the transcript of the show, click here The History Of Mary McLeod Bethune and The Florida Movement

Tous les samedis et dimanches à 18h20 et 19h20, Wendy Bouchard reçoit un invité au coeur de l'actualité. Aujourd'hui, elle interroge le néphrologue Jean-Paul Ortiz, président de la Confédération des syndicats médicaux français.

Throughout much of the 20th century, Florida had been a Ku Klux Klan stronghold. Klansmen found friends in government who occupied offices on local, state and federal offices. By 1925 the Klan had about 3 million members nationwide. Three years later, their ranks began to shrink. In Florida, however, the Klan grew. Their strongest factions could be found in Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando. Members of the Ku Klux Klan were often responsible for lynchings. From 1900 to 1930, Florida had the highest ratio of lynchings per capita (per capita being the average per person). Some scholars believe that, "Black men were more at risk of being lynched in Florida than any other state” and viewed Florida as a lynching capital. Lynching was not only a tool of terror and control - but also a response to the changing landscape of the country. Such was the case in a community not far from Rosewood called Perry Florida, where an attack eerily similar in nature took place just one month before the community of Rosewood perished at the hands of a mob similar to those who terrorized Perry. The attack could be viewed as a foreshadowing of what was to come at the start of the New Year in 1923. However, as Florida State University Professor, Meghan Martinez explains, such incidents were unfortunately much more common and than most people understand. They had become woven into the daily realities of Black Americans and minorities in Florida in the early 1900’s. Listeners will also hear recordings of a talk given by Dr. Paul Ortiz. Professor Ortiz is the director of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida. He is also the author of a number of books, including Emancipation Betrayed: The Hidden History of Black Organizing and White Violence in Florida from Reconstruction to the Bloody Election of 1920. Professor Ortiz teaches undergraduate courses and supervises graduate fields. Musical attributions 1.

The predominantly African American Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was not the only so-called Black Wall Street in the early part of the 20th century. There were a number of thriving Black communities in the early 1900’s. Some were also known by the moniker, Black Wall Street. These were communities that were very much made up of working people, which some say resembled middle-class prosperity. Some of America’s firs Black millionaires called these communities home. Though it was not uncommon to find Black Americans of different classes or income levels living in these communities together. Nevertheless, creating such communities was no small feat for African Americans of this time. Segregation, Jim Crow, racism and corruption made it next too impossible for many black Americans to pull themselves out of poverty. Not to mention slavery was only abolished several decades prior. These communities began to take shape as the Black Americans became more politically engaged and economically mobile as a result of Reconstruction. However, an aggressive and often violent backlash to the improvement of the conditions of African Americans began to take hold in parts of the country, particularly the South. Unfortunately, wealthy, well-off, financially advantaged African Americans during this time often had targets on their backs. And because of that, many of these thriving black communities were destroyed and many people in them were killed. One of these communities includes the once-primarily Black, self-sufficient town of Rosewood Florida. What happened in Rosewood was a symptom of larger trends happening across the country, including but not limited to: the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan; a systemic effort to undo the gains Black people made as a result of Reconstruction through policy, discrimination and other aggressive measures; a rise in lynchings and massacres of Black communities; backlash against Black veterans who had recently returned from World War 1; the formation and growth of Black resistance to power structures; and efforts of Black Americans to assert their voting rights, the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Guests in this episode include Dr. Nashid Madyun who is the director of the Meek-Eaton Southeastern Regional Black Archives Research Center and Museum on FAMU’s campus. Madyun is also a distinguished publisher and researcher. Listeners will also hear recordings of a talk given by Dr. Paul Ortiz. Professor Ortiz is the director of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida. He is also the author of a number of books, including Emancipation Betrayed: The Hidden History of Black Organizing and White Violence in Florida from Reconstruction to the Bloody Election of 1920. Professor Ortiz teaches undergraduate courses and supervises graduate fields. Musical attributions 1.

Being a woman in corporate spaces isn’t great and research shows that women from marginalized identity groups have exponentially worse experiences - no matter the region, industry, or function.  It's important those in the dominant group take the time to listen to our experiences, accept that they’re real, and fix it. It won’t happen overnight, but we have to stop trying to fix the people and fix broken cultures, processes, and institutions that uphold the “isms”.On this episode, our guest, Victoria Walters, M.A. shares her experiences and hacks she's leveraged to navigate. She even drops some ways "majoritized" folks can help, along with some light reading noted below. Layla F.

support the podcast by becoming a member of channel 253 Today’s episode is extra special to us as we get to chat with two incredible educators who are shaping the profession through their interrogation of the personal and professional ways educators perpetuate white cultural norms in schools.Our essential question is: How can we “learn to be a threat to inequity in our spheres of influence” in 2020?Guests: Katy Swalwell, Associate Professor of Social & Cultural Studies in the School of Education at Iowa State University, and Paul Gorski, founder of Equity Literacy Institute and EdChange. We first heard about the equity literacy framework from our guest Marquita Prinzing in Ep 46: Don’t be a Passive Progressive Educator and were incredibly excited when Katy reached out to us to share how she was using the podcast with her pre-service teachers. We are incredibly grateful she and Paul were able to come on the show.In this episode Katy and Paul describe how they came to this work, specifically unpacking the idea of equity literacy which “moves us beyond cultural competency.” They share how schools and districts are approaching this differently than a simple list of strategies and emphasize that this work is a mindset shift. We highly recommend that listeners spend some time with the Equity Literacy Institute directly. Finally, we ask Paul to share the story behind his controversial tweet that calls out white liberalism. Do Your Fudging Homework:Hope: Read through the equity literacy framework and do a little audit on your life--start first with classroom (the place you have immediate control), then dept/school (larger circles of control).Annie: follow Paul on Twitter, follow Katy even though she doesn’t tweet very much.

Professor Paul Ortiz is Associate Professor of History at the University of Floridaand is Director of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program.  Professor Ortiz has published and taught in the fields of African American history, Latino Studies, the African Diaspora, Social Movement Theory, U.S. History, U.S. South, labor, and documentary studies.

He has written several books including Emancipation Betrayed: The Hidden History of Black Organizing and White Violence in Florida from Reconstruction to the Bloody Election of 1920 received the 1990 Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Book Prize. His latest book and our topic of discussion today is An African American and Latinx History of the United States.  From Beacon Press: “Incisive and timely, this bottom-up history, told from the interconnected vantage points of Latinx and African Americans, reveals the radically different ways that people of the diaspora have addressed issues still plaguing the United States today, and it offers a way forward in the continued struggle for universal civil rights.” 

An interview with Dr. Paul Ortiz, Associate Professor of History from the University of Florida. He is the author of numerous books, including Emancipation Betrayed: The Hidden History of Black Organizing and White Violence in Florida from Reconstruction to the Bloody Election of 1920 (2006, UC Press). He discussed his latest book, An African American and Latinx History of the United States (2018, Beacon Press) about the shared civil rights struggles of African American and Latinx communities.

Throughout many American classrooms, students learn how the United States was formed, and most importantly, the historical figures who helped produce the contemporary nation we occupy. All too often, however, African American, Latinx, and Native Americans are not given similar attention. Rather, they are depicted as passive receivers of what those of European-descent pushed upon them. In An African American and Latinx History of the United States (Beacon Press, 2017), Paul Ortiz attempts to bring more balance to this picture. By employing a bottom-up approach, Ortiz shows how central black and brown solidarities were to the political history of the United States. Ortiz’s is a narrative history spanning two hundred-plus years of African Americans, Latinx, and Native Americans expanding what freedom and justice in the United States meant by challenging American exceptionalism, imperialism, and colonialism as much as possible.

Preacher: Paul OrtizScripture: Luke 5:27-32

Join The Gist of Freedom with host Natasha Demosthene and guest Professor Paul Ortiz. Vicente Guerrero, Mexico's first black president and other iconic revolutionaries will be discussed. Black Mexican President Ended Slavery! During the Civil War Slavers fled to and hid blacks in Gavelston, Texas! Vicente Guerrero, Mexico's first black president Abolished Slavery, Assisted Escaping Blacks and Fought Texas! Texas President Sam Houston lamented that " two valuable negro boys for which I had paid in cash $2100 previous to my visit to Nashville, ran away last spring to Mexico. Thus you can see I am in bad luck." Just two and a half months after Mexico abolished slavery, officials were uneasy about the numbers of new European Americans settling within Mexico and they attempted to curb the number of newcomers. In 1830, Mexico decreed that foreigners could not cross the border without obtaining a passport issued by Mexican agents.Texans did not respect the MEXICAN border in their pursuits of Freed Blacks. In 1855, Captain James Callahan of the Texas Rangers entered Mexico in an attempt to recapture self-emancipated Africans.
