Today's History Story: Million Man March Under white supremacy, many Black men have been rewarded for fitting into its anti-Black definition of masculinity – and it's often been to our people's detriment. But there are people reimagining who the Black man is and working to decolonize and reconstruct the Black man from head to toe, inside and out - mind, body, and soul. One such person is today's guest, Phillip Agnew. Phil is a community organizer who, in 2012, co-founded the Dream Defenders in the wake of the murder of Trayvon Martin. More recently, he's co-founded Black Men Build, an organization that represents a wide group of Black people from all walks of life – organizers, artists, communicators, educators, and creatives – who have come together to grapple with issues that are challenging Black men using social, economic, political, and spiritual tools needed to evolve and power Black futures.

“The freedom of Black people is a big American question – can those two things coexist? Can the United States of America, as we know it, coexist with true Black freedom? It's a constant fight, and I don't think many people in this country are very free.” – Phillip AgnewIt's easy to complain about people and policies on the other side of the political aisle. But what do you do when you have disagreements with your political allies – the people with whom your goals are the same, but your strategies are different?This week, Van Jones sits down with Phillip Agnew, founder of Black Men Build. Phillip challenges Van on his decision to form an alliance with the Trump Administration and other Republicans to reform the criminal justice system. Van questions Phillip on his stated commitment to abolishing the prison system in its present form. In exploring this tricky territory, the two long-time activists examine paths to racial justice that are both complementary and conflictual.Learn more about Black Men Build at their website: blackmen.buildNew episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.Call 347-770-2785 and leave him a voicemail telling us how you would fix (or do away with) the justice system.

In the midst of loss and death and suffering, our charge is to figure out what freedom really means—and how we take steps to get there. ———————————————— Join Marc Lamont Hill, phillip agnew, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor for an urgent conversation about the ongoing struggle for freedom in the wake of the 2020 election. The uprising of 2020 marked a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history, a historic uprising against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare. In his urgent and incisive new book We Still Here: Pandemic, Policing, Protest, and Possibility, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the “pre-existing conditions” that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future. ———————————————— Marc Lamont Hill will be joined in conversation by philip agnew and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor.

Read by Phillip Agnew and introduced by historian Roberta Gold. Born in 1923, Jesse Gray made his name in the 1960s as the organizer of the Harlem rent strikes. Involving over 100 buildings, the strikes achieved numerous concessions from the mayor (including the imprisonment of one landlord), but it was Gray's militant tactics that dominated the newspapers, such as his encouraging of tenants to bring live rats into housing court. These experiences led Gray to help create the Federation for Independent Political Action, a Black political group. It was at their founding conference in December 1964 that Jesse Gray gave the keynote address, “The Black Revolution: A Struggle for Political Power.” Found in the archives at the Schomburg Center, this is the first time the speech has been reproduced in full. “We've had sit-ins, wade-ins, walk-ins, sleep-ins... and let us just refer to it as the ‘ins.' The ‘ins' in my opinion have just about reached an impasse. They have reached an impasse because they have not moved the Black masses. They have failed to move the Black masses because these movements have not reflected their basic needs; rather just the aspirations of the Black middle class—doctors, lawyers, and others who have removed themselves from the masses of the Black ghetto, for whom the concept of equality and integration is a means for their own escape. They still hold the Black masses of the ghetto in contempt.” — Jesse Gray, 1964

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Jimmy Dore, host of the Jimmy Dore Show and leading progressive commentator. He discusses why Joe Biden’s record as vice president and as a senator is worse than Donald Trump’s. He also talks about Biden’s responsibility for the Crime Bill, leading to the US having the world’s biggest prison population; Kamala Harris’ role in upholding the prison-industrial complex; whether Donald Trump is better than Joe Biden; the alleged smearing of Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard during the primaries; why Biden won’t move to the left if he becomes president; and much more! Finally, we speak to former senior adviser to Bernie Sanders, Phillip Agnew. He discusses the recent protests in Philadelphia after the police killing of another African American, Donald Trump’s ‘bungled’ response to the coronavirus pandemic, why black and poor people in the US have a poor choice on both sides, why he believes progressives and Americans should vote for Joe Biden despite his record, the shadow of McCarthyism over Joe Biden and the United States, what corporations and private banks can expect from a Biden presidency, and much more!

Today on Sojourner Truth: Black August is an annual commemoration to remember Black freedom fights and political prisoners and to highlight Black resistance against racial oppression. It is marked annually during the calendar month of August. Black August was initiated in San Quentin State Prison in 1979, when a group of incarcerated people came together to commemorate the deaths of brothers Jonathan Jackson and George Jackson. Both brothers were involved in revolutionary organizing for racial justice behind bars. Sadly, Jonathan was killed in August 1970 and his brother George was also killed a year later. In their honor, a group of incarcerated people came together to commemorate their deaths, in what has since become known as Black August. As Monifa Bandele of the Movement for Black Lives told CNN, Black August is a time to study, plan, and pledge to continue the work and fight for Black liberation. This year, 2020, is no different. On Monday, August 31, Africans Rising hosted an international webinar, entitled Black August, Standing in Global Solidarity. Africans Rising is a grassroots Pan-African movement of people and organizations, working for peace, justice and dignity. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you audio from the historic webinar, which pays homage to the global struggle for racial justice and Black liberation, both past and present. During today's program, you will hear commentary from activists Danny Glover, Sekou Mgbozi Abdullah Odinga, Soffiya Elijah, Linda Masarira, and Phillip Agnew.

Here's a little something for the soul... "I’ve listened to this speech countless times with my hands holding each other. We have to often remind ourselves and each other that our hands are tools. When we believe in ourselves these tools are all that is needed to lay down a foundation, and when we support one another we can use that foundation to build a future worth fighting for, the future we all deserve. Stacey told me in times of turmoil, creating art is one of the most sacred forms of grounding the self, your foundation. I chose sound, Phillip chose words. These two just happened to meet randomly with a simple pretext and understanding that our hands are dedicated to the restructuring of this broken system and renovation of the home the universe has assigned to us. Where every voice matters and no one is left behind. Whether you are alone or among the masses, and you are fighting for the next world, I kindly ask you to please squeeze a hand." -Sam Alexaxis, PPL! Producer and Sound Engineer

In a lyrical talk full of radical imagination, poet Aja Monet and community organizer phillip agnew share the story of how they fell in love and what they've learned about the powerful connection between great social movements and meaningful art. Journey to Smoke Signals Studio in Miami, their home and community art space where they're creating a refuge for neighbors and creators -- and imagining a new answer to distraction, anger and anxiety.

Malaika Jabali is an attorney, activist, and writer based in New York. She is a contributing writer to Essence Magazine and a frequent contributor to the Guardian. Her work also appears in Current Affairs, Jacobin, the Intercept and elsewhere. Malaika is my first returning guest, and I was very happy to have her back. Since we last spoke, she has written extensively about the 2020 candidates and deepened the reporting that began with her excellent Current Affairs feature The Color of Economic Anxiety. That article won the award for best General Feature from the New York Association of Black Journalists. Last week, Malaika released her first film, Left Out, which challenges many of the assumptions about what working class midwesterners want out of their politics. The 8 minute film is available for free on YouTube and well worth your time. We discuss it as well as:  How economic anxiety can depress voter turnout, the underrated importance of people who voted for Obama but didn't turn out in 2016, assumptions made about midwesterners, the myth of the moderate Democrat, Malaika's advice for 2020 candidates, the lack of diversity in early primary states and how it impacts the nominating process, why black voters don't like Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden's implosion, Bernie's campaign and rhetoric around race, whether Bernie is a class reductionist, how he could be better at speaking to the intersections of race and class, identity politics as it was originally conceived and how it has been misappropriated, the false choice between emphasizing identity based oppression and solidarity, and the lack of representation in socialist groups like the DSA. You can find Malaika on Twitter: @MalaikaJabali and me: @GarrisonLovely I've also created an email address for the show.
