Podcasts about Segregation

Can Democrats do anything right? I mean, seriously. Look at their offspring. Because every time I think the Democratic Party has finally reached the bottom of the barrel, somebody hands them a shovel. And they start digging. Now, I want to be careful here because I don't know every fact in every case I'm about to discuss. But I know what I'm seeing. I know what's flooding my news feed. And I know that some of these stories are so bizarre that if you wrote them into a screenplay, the producer would send them back and say, "Kevin, that's not believable." Take Karmelo Anthony. This is the young man convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old athlete, after a confrontation at a high school track meet. Anthony's lawyers wanted a new trial. And one of the issues surrounding the case was the racial makeup of the jury. No Black jurors were selected, and prosecutors struck three prospective Black jurors. (KERA News) So naturally, this became another racial grievance story. Because apparently we're supposed to believe that America is still living in 1860. The Democratic Party keeps reaching backward for its explanation of America. Slavery. Jim Crow. Segregation.   They can't seem to get past 1963 long enough to notice that it's 2026. And here's the part that makes this story even more interesting. The judge just denied Anthony's request for a new trial. Denied it. And during the proceedings, additional evidence came out that jurors had never heard, including an allegation that Anthony had previously sent a text fantasizing about stabbing someone. (The Washington Post) Now, I'm not going to pretend I know everything that happened in that case. But I will tell you this: When your argument starts with, "There weren't enough Black people on the jury," and then the conversation moves to evidence about whether the defendant had previously fantasized about stabbing somebody... Well... That's a pretty dramatic plot twist. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Library of Congress, the NAACP, Rotary International, Pulitzer Prize Nominated“Your will to succeed remains one of your greatest assets.”Clifton TaulbertAccording to Clifton L. Taulbert, noted author and entrepreneur businessman, he could have failed had he not encountered community builders and entrepreneurial thinkers early on in his life. Taulbert was born on the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation where he completed his secondary education. Though opportunities were few and barriers were plentiful, Taulbert managed to dream of being successful, not knowing the shape that success would take. Today Taulbert is the President and CEO of the Freemount Corporation (a human capital development company) serving clients nationally and internationally-Fortune 500 Companies, small businesses, federal agencies, professional organizations, community colleges and K-12 leadership. Additionally, entrepreneur Taulbert is the President and CEO of Roots Java Coffee-an African-American owned national coffee brand, importing coffee from Africa. To pass his life lessons along, Taulbert shares his entrepreneurial journey with others as a Thrive15.com mentor.He is a Generational Bridge of Segregated Times tio Integrated Times Today.In "The Invitation," Clifton Taulbert returns to the themes of "Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored," his award-winning book and the source of a major motion picture. This new memoir chronicles Taulbert's transformative experience of a supper invitation to a former plantation house in Allendale, South Carolina, where the successful adult confronts his childhood memories and wrestles with the legacies of slavery and segregation that demand to be acknowledged in his present circumstances.Transported back to a setting that looks and feels like the cotton fields and shotgun shacks of his childhood, Taulbert finds himself expected to cross racial barriers that no "colored" man could have broached without dire consequences. "The Invitation" is the story of the man and the little boy inside him wrestling with a past they both know so well, and of stepping into a future that is still being determined.Taulbert is a trustee of the University of Tulsa, has been recognized international by the Sales and Marketing Academy of Achievement, the Library of Congress, the NAACP, Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow and has been a recipient of the Jewish Humanitarian of the Year Award and the Richard Wright Literary Award.

Only three Black students were admitted to Stuyvesant High School's incoming ninth grade class of 777 students this past spring. That's the lowest number since the city started tracking this data in 2014. WNYC and Gothamist reporter Jessica Gould has covered this story for years, and she joins us to break down what the numbers actually show and why the specialized high school entrance exam is so hard to change.

Born in Trouble (July Ep. 1): Race Politics, DEI Myths, Social Media Brain Rot & the Future of Power Host John X reunites with Grant “City Wing King” Lancaster and Andrew Johnson (Men, Money and Marriage) for the first July episode of Born in Trouble, ranging from humor to a wide discussion on racism, Argentina's history and demographics, and how race narratives play out in the U.S. They debate backlash to casting Black actors in fictional and historical roles, argue that DEI is scapegoated while “white entitlement incompetence” is ignored, and share personal experiences with hiring and promotions. The conversation criticizes social media for amplifying poorly processed information, links declining literacy and screen-based schooling to reduced recall and conversation skills, and touches on voting challenges in rural Black communities in states like Mississippi amid demographic shifts. 00:00 July Episode Kickoff 01:39 Afro Banter Reunion 03:18 Argentina Race Talk 06:40 History Of Erasure 09:47 Casting Culture Wars 11:44 Jaylen Brown And Control 17:13 Umar And Interracial Fears 23:46 Social Media Brain Rot 27:20 DEI Myths And Reality 30:56 White Entitlement Incompetence 33:02 Degrees Aren't Intelligence 33:50 Illiteracy and Screen Learning 35:07 Phones and Keeping Kids Smart 36:31 Free Speech Shelf Life 37:34 Mississippi Justice and Racism 40:17 Demographics and Voting Power 44:25 Politics Bought and Sold 47:22 Jobs, AI, and K Economy 49:57 Near Death and No Patience 54:16 Youth Must Lead Change 56:58 Indoctrination and Culture Wars 01:01:21 Conversation and Closing Out 01:02:42 Stop Fearing Being Smart 01:05:06 Empathy as a Nation's Test

Democracy isn't just something we vote for once every few years, it's something we build together, in our neighborhoods, city halls, and everyday relationships. Corinna Bellizzi is joined by Angela Glover Blackwell, founder of PolicyLink and host of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, who has spent more than 50 years working at the intersection of racial equity, housing, and civic life. Angela reflects on how growing up during segregation shaped her understanding of community and leadership, explains why she defines democracy as "co-governance for human flourishing," and makes the case that America may be ready for a third founding. She also shares how tools like civic assemblies and participatory budgeting can restore civic life, and why joy has to remain at the center of any vision for real change. COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT: https://caremorebebetter.com/reimagining-democracy-with-angela-glover-blackwell About Guest: Angela Glover Blackwell has spent over 50 years working at the intersection of racial equity, housing, and civic life.

This episode reframes the Declaration of Independence as more than soaring ideals about equality and natural rights. Former California Supreme Court Justice Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar argues the text contains an underappreciated architecture of government: accountability to citizens, managing political conflict across regions, and establishing legitimate authority both domestically and in the international order. The result is a Declaration that reads like a nation-building document designed to make a new state workable after revolution. Responding to Cuéllar, Larry Kramer—former Stanford Law dean, a leading scholar of democratic constitutionalism, and now president of the London School of Economics—adds a grounding historical frame: in 1776, the Declaration was shaped as much by law as by philosophy. Kramer argues the grievances were understood as claims that Britain had violated the colonies' constitutional rights under the British customary constitution, which helps explain why the Declaration's “structural” ideas are often implicit rather than spelled out as a blueprint. Together, Cuéllar and Kramer show how the Declaration operates in two registers: a practical indictment of governmental failure and a foundational text later generations repeatedly reinterpret to justify (or resist) evolving structures of American governance. Their exchange highlights a central tension that persists—between universal promises and the administrative choices that determine how, and for whom, those promises are implemented.

Host Michael McConnell sets up the episode's core premise and introduces guests Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar and Larry Kramer to explore the Declaration's structural dimensions. [00:05:21] Chapter 2 — Cuéllar's thesis: “Text vs. territory” and the Declaration as state-building Cuéllar argues the Declaration is not just a creed; it catalogs governance failures under George III and implies the need for a sovereign that can function at home and abroad. [00:06:04] Chapter 3 — The Freedom Train as a case study in ideals meeting administration (1947–48) Using the racially integrated Freedom Train—and its refusal to stop in segregated cities—Cuéllar spotlights the friction between universal principles and on-the-ground governance. [00:13:07] Chapter 4 — 1890–1950: expansion of the administrative state and contested equality Cuéllar walks through key moments (Du Bois/Niagara Movement, Wilson at Independence Hall, Becker vs. Coolidge, FDR's “Second Bill of Rights,” Ho Chi Minh quoting Jefferson) to show how the Declaration structures recurring fights over equality, borders, and state capacity. [00:28:51] Chapter 5 — Kramer's response: the Declaration's legal-constitutional origins and how texts evolve Kramer argues the Declaration was fundamentally a legal brief grounded in the British customary constitution; its grievances alleged constitutional violations, and later generations repurpose founding texts to frame new disputes.

In 1955, Rosa Parks made civil rights history in the US when she refused to give up her seat on the bus.Segregation laws in Montgomery, Alabama, meant that when a bus was full, black passengers had to stand and give up their seat to white passengers.Her subsequent arrest sparked a boycott of the city's buses by the African American population.Led by Dr Martin Luther King, the protest became one of the most significant campaigns of the civil rights movement - and ultimately led to victory in the courts.In November 1956, the US Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling that bus segregation was unconstitutional.Vicky Farncombe tells the story using BBC archive interviews.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger tackles the corporate sacred cow: DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's everywhere. It's celebrated. It's untouchable. But is it biblical? Is it of God—or just another idol from the culture's altar?Paul M. Neuberger doesn't flinch. He calls out favoritism. He exposes the empty promises. He opens the Word and rips the mask off cultural conformity. The cost? Criticism. Marginalization. Outrage.But Jesus is still Lord—even when truth makes enemies. Even when courage costs you.What about you? When your workplace pushes the latest ideology, will you fold or will you fight—for truth, for Christ, for unity rooted in the Gospel?"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." –Romans 12:2Episode Highlights14:26 - The Bible teaches equal value. It doesn't teach equal outcomes. Those are not the same thing. Modern DEI ideology often focuses heavily on outcomes. Who got promoted, who got hired, who got accepted, who got recognized, who achieved success. And then it frequently works backwards from those outcomes to determine whether discrimination must have occurred. But Scripture focuses on something extremely different.19:01 - One of the reasons that I personally believe that DEI conflicts so strongly with a biblical worldview is because it often reintroduces something that scripture repeatedly condemns, favoritism. It may be packaged differently, it may use different language, it may be presented as progress. But at its core, favoritism is still favoritism. And God has never, ever been a fan of it.43:26 - Are we going to allow culture to shape our beliefs? Or are we going to allow scripture to shape our beliefs? Are we going to seek the approval of man? Or are we going to seek the approval of God? Are we going to remain silent when truth becomes unpopular? Or are we going to stand with courage, conviction, grace and love? Every generation of Christians faces these defining moments.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

A cultural history of race, resistance, and representation in a city divided by politics and playWhen outfielder Bernie Carbo joined the Red Sox in 1974, he brought with him a toy gorilla named Mighty Joe Young that became the team's unofficial mascot for several players and many in the local press. This seemingly innocent stuffed animal was introduced within a baseball team notorious for its stubborn discrimination, and during a particularly fraught era of racial discord in Boston. That June, after years of activism from the city's Black community, Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. ruled that Boston must address the segregation of its schools through redistricting and busing. The ensuing racial animus to these policies led some of the city's white residents to throw bananas and chant monkey sounds at African American students as they integrated the predominantly white South Boston High School. In this agitated atmosphere, cultural symbols like the Red Sox's Mighty Joe Young mirrored and amplified the heightened racial tensions of Boston's busing crisis.Situated at the intersection of US cultural and social history, Segregation Games: Boston, Busing, and the Making of Red Sox Nation (U Massachusetts Press, 2026) examines the surprising ties in 1970s Boston between the racial segregation of the city's schools and the racial controversies expressed on and off the field of “Red Sox Nation.” “I found out in the black community why they don't come out [to Fenway Park],” explained Black player Reggie Smith of his experiences with the Red Sox and the city during this period. “The team was the last to get Black players, and some of the things I hear out in the stands make me sick.” To understand these connections, Faflik erases the lines between politics and sport, which routinely blurred in a city suffused with an anti-Black racism that was both deceptively subtle and fiercely overt.Drawing upon deep archival research from sources that have largely been ignored, such as the Black press of the time, Faflik offers a carefully nuanced portrait of Boston's cultural life at a pivotal moment in the city's history.

Send us Fan Mail Long before anyone tells you what you cannot do, someone has already decided you probably will not. A quiet look. An assumption. A doorway that closes a little before you reach it. Most of what limits us does not arrive as a single moment. It arrives as the steady weight of low expectations, carried by other people and slowly absorbed into how we see ourselves. Yusuf sits down with Dr. Sean Adelman, orthopedic surgeon, author, and founder of Raise Expectations, to talk about what inclusion really means beyond the policies and the language, why our expectations of others quietly shape what they become, and what it means to give the people we love the dignity of failure. About the Guest: Dr. Sean Adelman is a practicing orthopedic surgeon in Seattle, an author, and the founder of Raise Expectations LLC. After his daughter Devon was born with Down syndrome, his perspective on inclusion, ability, and human potential transformed completely. He writes fiction featuring characters with different abilities — including the Sam's Top Secret Journal and Trispero series — to help young readers see themselves as capable. His mission is to widen the world's expectations of what every person is capable of becoming. Key Takeaways: Expectations are not neutral. Other people's expectations measurably affect how much someone achieves, in both directions. Inclusion is not a policy checklist. It is approaching every person with an open mind and without preconceived notions about what they can do. Supported employment programs do not lower workplace performance. They consistently raise it — happier teams, lower turnover, stronger culture. Inclusive classrooms produce better humans, not weaker outcomes. Exposure builds empathy in ways no curriculum alone can. The dignity of failure is one of the most loving things you can give someone. If they are never allowed to try, they are never given the chance to succeed. The way you talk to others is the same architecture you build inside your own head. Self-talk follows the same rules. Raise your own expectations too.

With America In Major News Views &  Headlines Changing Everyday, This Book is Particularly Intriguing Now!!In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton's thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America's current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption.

Chuck Todd delivers an analysis of the Virginia Supreme Court's decision tossing out the Democratic redistricting map — arguing Democrats pissed away enormous political capital for absolutely nothing and that the reaction on the left has been wildly out of proportion, treating the ruling like an election loss when it was actually a predictable consequence of trying to fight fire with fire. He notes that Democrats passed the Virginia map without ever bothering to figure out how the courts would rule, and that both Obama and Governor Spanberger spent serious political capital pushing a referendum that was always legally vulnerable. He pushes back hard on left-wing commentary framing the ruling as partisan: the Virginia Supreme Court isn't full of partisans — they're technocrats, and Democrats just spent years arguing for norms and process and then ignored norms and process. His central argument is that Democrats will never win a race to the bottom with Trump's GOP, that the "fight fire with fire" mentality is a huge strategic mistake, and that Democrats can absolutely win in newly created swing districts with the right candidates if they go back to persuading voters and building coalitions rather than treating voters as the problem. He argues that Democrats are still likely to win both the House and Senate in the midterms — proof that Trump has done nothing to improve the GOP's image and that the path back to a winning Democratic coalition is still wide open if the party chooses to take it. Then, acclaimed music biographer Bob Spitz — author of definitive biographies of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin and now The Rolling Stones: The Biography, his five-year deep dive into the world's greatest rock and roll band — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deeply enjoyable conversation about why the Stones have endured for over six decades and what their longevity says about the state of music itself. Spitz argues that the Stones gave us the foundation of the rock and roll sound and that, in many ways, there is no rock and roll today — modern musicians are producers more than performers, and now in their 80s the Stones are essentially one of the last bands keeping the form alive. He explains why their decision to flirt with politics in the 60s and then back off actually helped them endure, traces their close friendship with The Beatles , and describes Mick and Keith's strange but enduring marriage as the central engine of the band — held together by their shared love of playing live. The conversation digs into the surprising musical and cultural backstory of how the Stones became the Stones — including the fascinating history of how white British kids embraced the blues more than American kids did. Spitz pays beautiful tribute to drummer Charlie Watts as the heart and soul of the group — a jazz lover who only played rock because it paid the bills and who, along with Ian Stewart, kept the band in line for decades — and discusses the profound effect of losing him on the band's chemistry. He explains why the Stones keep playing well into their 80s, why great guitarists are now a rare commodity with no real innovators emerging, and why Mick has stayed in such great shape. Spitz offers his verdict on the Stones' place in music history — they've come to understand themselves as the greatest rock band, and he agrees — and reveals what's next for him: a book about John Lennon's second act. He closes with a fascinating thought experiment posed by Chuck: if Mick Jagger had been killed and John Lennon had lived, would the trajectories of the two bands have completely switched? Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the Supreme Court’s Brown vs. Board of Education decision and explains that the courts have been forced to rule on major structural changes to American society when congress refuses to legislate. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Try ShipStation free for 60 days with full access to all features, No credit card needed!

Deep in the Ozarks, outside a tiny Arkansas town, a group of white nationalists believe they've found a legal loophole to resurrect segregation in America. They call it Return to the Land — a “traditionalist” community built around shared values, shared land… and shared race. Will they be shut down? Or will the be allowed to have, essentially, a new Sundown town?  For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Professor Vernellia Randall presents a groundbreaking analysis of how centuries of systemic racism have created and perpetuated devastating health disparities within African American communities. Drawing from extensive research, she traces the direct lineage from the "slave health deficit" established during slavery through Jim Crow segregation to today's persistent health inequalities, revealing how African Americans continue to experience disproportionately higher rates of disease, infant mortality, and premature death. Her work demonstrates that these disparities are not coincidental but represent the ongoing legacy of institutionalized racism that has never been adequately addressed through legal or policy interventions. Professor Randall's work extends beyond documenting health disparities to exploring the systemic barriers within healthcare delivery itself, including discriminatory access to hospitals, nursing homes, and quality medical care. She argues that current health disparities represent an unrepaired historical injustice that requires more than incremental reform—instead calling for a comprehensive reparations framework that addresses both the root causes and continuing manifestations of racial health inequality. Her proposed solution involves equitable rather than merely compensatory reparations, including transformative healthcare civil rights legislation designed to repair, not just acknowledge, centuries of harm to Black health and wellbeing. BiographyVernellia Randall is Professor Emerita of Law at the University of Dayton School of Law.  She is the founder and editor of Race, Racism and the Law.  Professor Randall is a recipient of the Chairman's Award from the Ohio Commission on Minority Health and has been honored by a Commendation from the Ohio House of Representatives. Randall is an accomplished webmaster and has received awards for her website development.

This episode of Justice Above All investigates one way in which segregation has been rebranded in the twenty-first century: all-white, or “whites-only,” settlements. In recent years, there has been an alarming rise in these settlements across the United States. Attempts to build all-white settlements represent a modern rebranding of segregationist housing practices like restrictive covenants. All-white settlements are morally corrosive to a multi-racial democracy and undermine the principles of inclusive housing articulated in the Fair Housing Act. Policymakers and all people who oppose segregation should actively resist the rise of all-white settlements.Today's host is Dr. Kesha Moore, Research Manager of the Thurgood Marshall Institute.

In 1921, the thriving Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was turned to ashes in one of the deadliest and most deliberately buried acts of racial violence in American history.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Greenwood Avenue featured luxury shops, restaurants, movie theaters, a library, pool halls and nightclubs… until late May and early June of 1921. Then a brutal race riot took place in thissuburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Which is tragically ironic, watching the news and seeing what is happening all over the USA today. You could almost think that nothing has changed. We'll look at what happened in Greenwood, Oklahoma over 100 years ago.LISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on YouTube Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other apps.

We note the recent passing of some stalwart ballplayers, some of all too recent a vintage, then travel back to the 1950s and the breaking of the Braves color line by an outfielder who everyone liked to pick on. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

On Thursday's show: We learn what is taking place at the annual NRA Convention April 16-19 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.Also this hour: We take a closer look at how and why segregation has become a permanent feature in our cities and how the promise of the 1940s through the 60s in Houston actually were periods that allowed racism to persist behind an illusion of progress. Those are subjects addressed in the book, Houston and the Permanence of Segregation. We talk with its author David Ponton III.And we learn about Black Cinema Club HTX, which is working to make the city a hub for Black cinema. The organization's founders tell us about their efforts to make Houston the next Atlanta for film and about their anniversary film festival this weekend.

On March 2, 1945, five Mexican American families and their Jewish American lawyer filed a class-action lawsuit against four school districts in Orange County, California, to end the segregation of ethnic Mexican children. In a shocking decision, the court ruled in favor of plaintiffs, setting a legal and historical precedent in Mendez, et al. v. Westminster School District of Orange County that shook the foundations of Jim Crow America and led to the end of de jure school segregation across the nation. Breaking Down the Walls of Segregation: Mexican American Grassroots Politics and Civil Rights in Orange County, California (Oxford UP, 2025) tells the story of how ethnic Mexicans in a relatively unknown agricultural backwater built the unprecedented movement that led to this decision. Beginning in the 1880s, David-James Gonzales details the social and economic history of Orange County, explaining how citrus capitalists, seeking increased market share and profitability, established the walls of segregation to manage ethnic Mexican family labor. By the early 1930s, ethnic Mexicans were segregated into over fifty underserved colonias and barrios. Without training or support from national civil rights organizations, they mobilized against segregation and inequality beginning in the late 1920s. Ethnic Mexican grassroots organizations proliferated throughout the county, intent on engaging in civic affairs and ending anti-Mexican discrimination and segregation. This movement, comprised of immigrants, citizens, parents, children, emerging activists, and their non-Mexican allies, paved the way for the growth of LULAC and nationwide organizing. As an essential part of the "long civil rights movement," the ethnic Mexican struggle against segregation in Orange County illustrates how minoritized groups have historically pushed US social, economic, and political institutions to live up to the nation's founding ideals. David-James Gonzales is Assistant Professor of History at Brigham Young University. He is a historian of migration, urbanization, and social movements in the U.S., and specializes in Latina/o/x politics and social movements. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Jonathan Stapley tackles a tough topic: race & LDS Temples as we conclude his deep dive into Stapley's award-winning book, Holiness to the Lord. We tackles some of the most complex historical topics surrounding Latter-day Saint temple worship, including the ideological shift away from plural marriage, the history of racial restrictions, and the profound religious work of caring for the dead. https://youtu.be/ZIp-oSEBoGo 0:00 Trading Polygamy for Temple Work 3:58 Race & the Temple 16:21 Caring for the Dead Don't miss our other discussions with Jonathan. https://gospeltangents.com/people/jonathan_stapley Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Dr. Jonathan Stapley concludes his deep dive into his award-winning book, Holiness to the Lord. He tackles some of the most complex historical topics surrounding Latter-day Saint temple worship, including the ideological shift away from plural marriage, the history of racial restrictions, and the profound religious work of caring for the dead. Did Temple Work Replace Polygamy? Historian Dr. Richard E Bennett has previously argued that as the Church abandoned plural marriage, work for the dead stepped in as its replacement. Stapley agrees there is truth to this. Before 1890, regular temple attendance was incredibly rare; most early Latter-day Saints only went once in their lives for their own endowment and sealing. Because of this, 19th-century Saints typically viewed temple robes as “burial clothing,” since they saw it more often on deceased bodies than on living worshippers. However, following the 1890 Manifesto and Wilford Woodruff’s 1894 revelation on adoption, regular proxy labor radically transformed the Latter-day Saint experience. Temple attendance became a normative, regular practice, effectively replacing plural marriage as the core foundation of 20th-century Latter-day Saint identity construction. Segregation, Race & LDS Temples We also unpacked the complicated history of race & the temple. Early in the Church’s history, Black members did participate in temple ordinances: Elijah Abel was washed and anointed in the Kirtland Temple, Jane Manning James performed baptisms for the dead in the Endowment House, and historical records show that several previously enslaved women were endowed in the Salt Lake Temple. Tragically, as Jim Crow-era segregationist worldviews hardened in the 20th century, policies shifted. Stapley highlights research by Tanya Ryder showing a period where Black members could submit their family history to the temple but were required to have white proxies perform the actual baptisms. When asked if the temple restriction was instituted primarily to prevent interracial marriage, Stapley offers a nuanced historian’s view. While Brigham Young actively encouraged intermarriages between white settlers and Native Americans, he harbored intense opposition to Black and white intermarriage and procreation. Stapley notes that while Brigham Young’s racist views on intermarriage undeniably informed the temple ban, historians lack the specific documentation to conclusively prove it was the exact causal instigation. Debunking the 1979 “Satan” Film Myth Stapley also takes a moment to debunk a persistent rumor regarding the 1979 temple film. A popular story claims that the Church asked a dark-skinned or Polynesian actor to play Satan, but the actor protested the racist casting. Stapley explains that there is no good evidence for this event; the entire rumor stems from a single, unreliable third-hand source—a typed memory of a purported conversation. Caring for the Dead To conclude, Stapley reflects on one of the most resonant chapters of his book: the religious practice of caring for and dressing the dead. In modern society, the professionalization of medicine and funerals has largely insulated us from death. Stapley argues that the Latter-day Saint practice of dressing deceased loved ones in temple clothing provides an incredibly important religious outlet to process grief. Furthermore, this enduring ritual acts as a powerful symbol, signaling the believers’ incorporation into the priesthood as heavenly kings, queens, priests, and priestesses.

John Moore grew up in Connecticut carrying the weight of childhood trauma that pushed him toward trouble at a young age. What started as a life of bad decisions quickly escalated into serious crime when he was arrested for kidnapping and robbery, but the chaos didn't stop there. While sitting in jail awaiting his case, John continued fighting and causing problems until he made a desperate move, he escaped jail and fled to New York. While on the run he committed another robbery before eventually being caught, a decision that would change his life forever. Between charges in Connecticut and New York, John was ultimately sentenced to nearly 50 years in prison. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, John shares the true story of surviving 32 years inside some of the most brutal prisons, navigating gangs, violence, and constant attacks while trying to stay alive. Despite the harsh reality of decades behind bars, John also found an unexpected light in the darkness, meeting the woman who would become his wife and building a family through conjugal visits while still incarcerated. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #lockedinpodcast #jailescape #prisonstory #prisonsurvival #truecrimepodcast #prisonlife #exinmate _____________________________________________ Connect with John Moore: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jay_triple_x?_r=1&_t=ZP-94JYBavrQIp YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jaytriplex?si=vFn5Ln4dyjyA5-yc _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Prison Escape: How the Breakout Happened 03:00 Childhood Struggles and Growing Up 07:00 First Arrests and Early Trouble With the Law 13:00 Escalating Crime and Facing Consequences 22:00 Juvenile Detention and Life Behind Bars Young 32:00 Jail Life, Prison Violence, and Survival 45:00 Solitary Confinement, Segregation, and Isolation 57:00 The Infamous County Jail Escape 01:01:00 On the Run: Living as a Fugitive 01:14:00 Hostage Situation and Final Surrender 01:21:00 Arrest, Police Beatings, and Sentencing 01:29:00 Entering the New York Prison System 01:39:00 Brutal Prison Life and Notorious Inmates 01:54:00 Turning Point: Love and Changing Direction 02:03:00 Returning to Connecticut and Family Loss 02:13:00 Release From Prison and Life After 02:21:00 Lessons From Prison and Regrets 02:28:00 Final Thoughts and Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.
