Send us a textTiana Ferrell doesn't just carry the blood of a civil rights icon in her veins – she actively extends that legacy through her own unique blend of art, activism, and advocacy. As the great-great-granddaughter of Ida B. Wells, Tiana shares how family stories about her pioneering ancestor shaped her path toward becoming a social changemaker.The conversation takes us to the campus of Rust College, where Tiana felt her ancestor's spiritual presence guiding her toward her purpose. It was there she began reading Wells' works and understanding how to channel that pioneering spirit into her own authentic voice. Though admittedly shy by nature, Tiana discovered that courage isn't about fearlessness – it's about moving forward despite fear.When Tiana uncovered the little-known story of Ida B. Wells' refusal to give up her seat on a train – and her subsequent legal victory – seventy years before Rosa Parks' famous stand, she transformed this buried history into "The Lady's Car," a play that educates, entertains, and empowers. Even a 90-year-old resident of Ida's hometown confessed she'd never known this story, validating Tiana's mission to make history accessible through artistic expression.As someone born with symbrachydactyly (a limb difference affecting her left hand), Tiana also discusses becoming the representation she never saw growing up. Her disability advocacy extends from personal interactions in grocery stores to creating films featuring characters with limb differences, always seeking to normalize and educate with authenticity and compassion.Throughout our conversation, Tiana emphasizes that meaningful social change requires "the courage to be disliked." Drawing from her family's legacy of speaking truth to power, she reminds us that "we're not put on this earth to be liked – we all have an assignment," and fulfilling that assignment often means proceeding through discomfort toward greatness.Whether you're an educator, artist, activist, or someone seeking to make an impact, Tiana's approach to blending creativity with social consciousness offers a powerful template for creating work that resonates across generations.Learn More about Tiana Ferrell here: www.tianaferrell.com Tiana's MLK Keynote address: https://youtu.be/xWenHkK3cFA?si=EO2e7H4zh9WZGRNz COME SAY Hey!!

This episode focuses on the recent acknowledgement of Juneteenth, June 19, 1865, which was recently approved by the government to become a new federal holiday. My guests for this episode are two black men whom I have tremendous respect for, both of which are from my Alma Mater, Rust College and one whom which was my roommate in school. Secondary educator/black history lecturer/Afrocentric Education Advocate, Dr. Anthony Thompson and public school educator, Dr. Louis Henderson. We each spoke from a place concern for not only our community but the real history of America being told which encompasses the history of how majority of our ancestors didn't even know that they were "free" until two years after the Emancipation proclamation was signed and put into effect in 1863. They were told they were free in downtown Galveston, TX in 1865 and shortly after finding that out, they all took to the city of Galveston to celebrate, rejoice, and fellowship of their new found freedom. As black people, we can never forget our history nor can we let the powers that be turn the clocks back to the time where we had little to no rights. We each have to do our parts in preserving and protecting our heritage by being the monolithic people that we once were. These two black scholars shared their perspective on the significance of Juneteenth, what it means to have a huge piece of black history be acknowledged in this country, how much work needs to be done to assure our history is incorporated into the American education system despite the fear-mongering tactics that right wing idiots spew about CRT, and ways we can be inclusive and open-minded about multiculturalism; being educated and enlightened on all cultures and their history. Thanks to my brothers/guests for being on the show to speak about this topic. I look forward to having many more talks with them as it pertains to our history which is American history.

This episode focuses on life coaching. My guest, Dr. Nakisha Watts, life coach, had some very profound things to say regarding the everyday struggles we deal with, more specifically, have dealt with during these difficult times of hardship. This pandemic has left us with so many uncertainties to a point where we have been forced to sit and deal with things in real time, like personal issues, children, spousal issues, and the balance of our work life. Nakisha spoke about how it is okay to not be okay, how to lean on the friends, love ones, and/or significant others for help in balancing things out that we in life have to juggle. What was fascinating about learning what a life coach essentially is, Nakisha explained the difference between a life coach and a counselor or a therapist; counselors and therapists for the most part, are licensed professionals who unpack past issues verses a life coach, who meets you in the present moment and time and help coach you through life by suggesting things such as finding yourself, understanding that you are not without flaws, and admitting you need help and asking for it. She also talked about the importance and outsourcing the things you're not so good at and focusing on the things you are as well as being able to admit that you're not good at everything. For those who are struggling to keep things together without a spouse or significant other, Nakisha discussed the way of reaching out to friends and love ones for help. If these past 2 years have taught us anything, it is the importance of valuing our relationships with our friends, love ones, spouse, etc and to be able to lean on them in times of need. Much love and appreciation to my fellow Rustite (a graduate of my Alma mater, Rust College) for being on the show. For questions to ask Nakisha about becoming a life coach or life coaching advice, you can reach her via Instagram @sheupliftsllc, Facebook @sheupliftsllc, and you can visit her website at www.sheupliftsllc.com

This episode focuses on the differences, similarities, and misconceptions about both African Americans in this country and those who have come to America but are born in parts of Africa. I had the pleasure of speaking with my former college professor of political science, Dr. AJ Stovall - Rust College, my alma mater. My fellow Rustite and classmate, Olusola Isikalu, a native of Yoruba, Lagos, Nigeria, and a good friend of mine, Paddy Wonder Dadzie, a native of Accra, Ghana who shared their experiences, both good and bad upon their arrival to America, whether it was to advance in their education or profession career. They each had stories about how they were received and approach in the US by those who look like them. So many misnomers and false information has been put in the minds of both black people in America and black people from the motherland. For African born citizens, the perception of black people in America are they are lazy, criminals, have a bunch of kids out of wedlock, live on welfare where oppose to black people in America and their perception of our African brothers and sisters; they're poor and starving, the assumption that every African is starving, without water and think that 50 cents a day can feed a starving child, that everyone in Africa speaks Swahili, live in trees, or have lions and elephants in their backyards. This conversation stems from personal experience that goes back to my days in college (Rust College). In my socio-economics class, Dr. Stovall was my professor who taught us and challenged us learn the system and fight against the systemic and institutional racism that is built within it. A classmate of mine in class stood up to give his thoughts on how black people in America are viewed negatively and spoke arrogantly about the country in Africa from which he comes. Dr Stovall allowed a few of us to rebuttal in class to engage in a dialogue of enlightenment and moments of clarity from both sides. The Apartheid that occurred in South Africa is equivalent to the civil rights movement that occurred here in the US and around the same time. With that said, it is with the understanding that black people all over the world have been and continue to be treated like less than the human beings that we are. We have way more similarities than differences. We are not each other's enemy. This conversation is the first of many to help bridge the gap between us who black Americans and those of our brothers and sisters who are black in America, to help educate each other on what life has really been like for each other and how the news and media has portrayed such a negative light on us both that influenced our own views of each other until we experienced what it's like to be around each other in real time. Special thanks to my panel guests for being on the show to share their experiences and ideas as to how to can do better with understanding that we are all black brothers and sisters who are from the motherland and to help educate each other on becoming more intuned with our heritage. With love and unicen, we need to celebrate each other in love because in the end, no one got us like we got us.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a prominent journalist, activist, and researcher, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In her lifetime, she battled sexism, racism, and violence. As a skilled writer, Wells-Barnett also used her skills as a journalist to shed light on the conditions of African Americans throughout the South. Ida Bell Wells was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi on July 16th, 1862. She was born into slavery during the Civil War. Once the war ended Wells-Barnett's parents became politically active in Reconstruction Era politics. Her parents instilled into her the importance of education. Wells-Barnett enrolled at Rust College but was expelled when she started a dispute with the university president. In 1878, Wells-Barnett went to visit her grandmother. While she was there Wells-Barnett was informed that a yellow fever epidemic had hit her hometown. The disease took both of Wells-Barnett's parents and her infant brother. Left to raise her brothers and sister, she took a job as a teacher so that she could keep the family together. Eventually, Wells-Barnett moved her siblings to Memphis, Tennessee. There she continued to work as an educator. In 1884, Wells-Barnett filed a lawsuit against a train car company in Memphis for unfair treatment. She had been thrown off a first-class train, despite having a ticket. Although she won the case on the local level, the ruling was eventually overturned in federal court. After the lynching of one of her friends, Wells-Barnett turned her attention to white mob violence. She became skeptical about the reasons black men were lynched and set out to investigate several cases. She published her findings in a pamphlet and wrote several columns in local newspapers. Her expose about an 1892 lynching enraged locals, who burned her press and drove her from Memphis. After a few months, the threats became so bad she was forced to move to Chicago, Illinois. In 1893, Wells-Barnett, joined other African American leaders in calling for the boycott of the World's Columbian Exposition. The boycotters accused the exposition committee of locking out African Americans and negatively portraying the black community. In 1895, Wells-Barnett married famed African American lawyer Ferdinand Barnett. Together, the couple had four children. Throughout her career Wells-Barnett, balanced motherhood with her activism. Wells-Barnett traveled internationally, shedding light on lynching to foreign audiences. Abroad, she openly confronted white women in the suffrage movement who ignored lynching. Because of her stance, she was often ridiculed and ostracized by women's suffrage organizations in the United States. Nevertheless, Wells-Barnett remained active the women's rights movement. She was a founder of the National Association of Colored Women's Club which was created to address issues dealing with civil rights and women's suffrage. Although she was in Niagara Falls for the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), her name is not mentioned as an official founder. Late in her career Wells-Barnett focused on urban reform in the growing city of Chicago. She died on March 25th, 1931. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unlabeled/support

Ida Bell Wells was born July 16, 1862 in Holly Springs, MS. Her parents, James and Lizzie Wells, were enslaved in Holly Springs when she was born. Her father was the son of a white man and one of his slaves named Peggy. At age 18, James went to Holly Springs to learn carpentry and he worked as a hired out slave. According to Wells, her father knew very little of the cruelties of slavery.  Her mother, on the other hand, was taken from her family and sold to an architect, Mr. Bolling, in Holly Springs, where she became his cook. Ida’s mother and father met when they were both enslaved at the architect’s home (now called Bolling- Gatewood House) in Holly Springs. About six months after Ida was born, she and her parents were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation.  After Ida’s parents were freed, they stayed in Holly Springs. Her father, James, founded a carpentry business (this happened after he quit working for Mr. Bolling. Bolling was pressuring him to vote Democratic and when he refused, he came back to a locked shop. James left the shop, went downtown to buy new tools, and rented a house across the street to open his own shop.) Ida’s mother, Lizzie, was a famous cook in the city. Both of her parents were active in the Republican Party. Side note: There was a time when the Republican and Democratic parties had opposite platforms, and over the years they switched to what we know today. According to livescience.com, during the 1860s, Republicans were Northerners in favor of expansion of federal power. It was Lincoln’s party. The Democrats were Southerners, who did not want the federal government to have all the power, they believed it belonged to the individual states. The Republicans passed laws to protect African Americans and fought for social justice after the Civil War. The party lines began to blur in the early 1900s when a Democrat, William Jennings Bryan, emphasized the government’s role in social justice reform through expansion of the government, a traditionally Republican stance. So why did this happen? After the Civil War, new western states were acquired and both parties were vying for their attention. The Democrats saw that using the federal government to fund social programs and benefits was beneficial for their platform in trying to win over western states. The Republicans naturally took the opposing position and called for a hands off approach. They began to appeal to big business. Big business originally needed more government help with infrastructure, currency, and tariffs, but once established, the hands off approach was better. It allowed them more freedoms to do what they wanted.  James Wells became a trustee in Shaw College (now Rust College), a school for newly freed slaves. The school was established in 1866 for adults and children, by the Freedman’s Aid Society, of which James Wells was a member. It was originally called Shaw College after Reverend Shaw, who donated $10,000 to the new school. In 1915, in order to not confuse it with Shaw University, they renamed it Rust College, after Richard Rust, the secretary of the Freedman’s Aid Society.  As time went on and students progressed, the school went from having elementary and secondary classes to having high school and college courses. In 1878, the first two students graduated from the college department. It was at Shaw College that Ida received the first of her formal education.  Tragedy struck when Ida was only 14 (there’s speculation as to if she was 14 or 16. I’ve read both but Ida’s autobiography said 14, so we’re going with that). Both her parents and one sibling contracted Yellow Fever and passed away. Holly Springs’ mayor refused to quarantine the city from Memphis after the fever broke out and people came down to get away from the city, bringing the disease with them.  Ida had been visiting her grandmother out of town and was spared of the disease. Ida was the oldest of eight children and it was now her responsibility to...

We sat down with author Ken Bedell on October 11th to talk about his new book Realizing the Civil Rights Dream: Diagnosing and Treating American Racism. Book Synopsis: This book explains why America can realize the civil rights dream in the 21st century—if U.S. citizens take actions as individuals as well as work together for equality. It has been more than 53 years since Martin Luther King Jr. made his “I Have a Dream” speech. Why has the United States still not been able to make King’s dream a reality after a half a century of effort and progress? Is there still hope of full participation for all in America? In Realizing the Civil Rights Dream: Diagnosing and Treating American Racism, author Kenneth B. Bedell proposes a civil rights dream that grows out of American history and speaks to the 21st-century reality. He makes the case that by adopting a larger perspective of the role of racism in preserving U.S. social, cultural, economic, and political institutions and practices, Americans can understand why it has been so difficult to fulfill the promises of the 1960s civil rights dream. Bedell describes and applies sociological theories that serve to explain why racism is still prevalent in the United States and identifies the steps that are necessary to overcome racism. The book concludes with proposals for ways to apply social science to realize the civil rights dream and examples of how individuals can take action to make a difference. Features: Asks—and answers—the troubling question: Why have the civil rights hopes of the 1960s not yet been realized? Demonstrates the relationship between what happens in everyday life and racism’s persistence Provides insightful historical context for racism as it exists in the 21st century Presents a framework for understanding how social forces preserve racism Offers a refreshingly optimistic perspective that racism can be overcome Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Realizing-Civil-Rights-Dream-Diagnosing/dp/1440853754   Ken Bedell, author of Realizing the Civil Rights Dream: Diagnosing and Treating American Racism earned his doctorate in sociology from Temple University and has graduate degrees in education (New York University), theology ( the University of South Africa and Colgate Rochester/Crozer Divinity School), and in chemistry (Cornell University). Bedell is ordained in the United Methodist Church where he has served local congregation for 18 years in New York, Maryland, and Ohio. His work in the church included teaching sociology and communications at United Theological Seminary (Dayton), heading up higher education work as Associate General Secretary of the Board of Higher Education and Ministry, holding leadership positions in the Methodist Federation for Social Action and the Reconciling Ministries Network, and serving on the Board of Trustees of Rust College, a HBCU in Mississippi. As the Executive Secretary for the International Association of Methodist Schools, Colleges and Universities, Ken traveled extensively visiting educational institutions in Brazil, Argentina, Korea, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Mozambique, and Austria. Most recently he served in the Obama administration as a Senior Advisor in the Department of Education. There he worked in the Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and directed the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge. Bedell published widely on topics as varied as the history of worship, the sociology of technology, computer technology in education, and race relations.
