Legislation to review the bilateral relationship between the United States and South Africa has passed through a Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives- an early step in a long process of the bill actually becoming law. Authored and introduced by Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson in April, the U.S.- South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025 is viewed as part of efforts to provide President Donald Trump with the tools necessary to impose sanctions on South African officials in government - and the ANC in particular - who choose to support American adversaries like China, Russia and Iran. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reported on the committee vote and how the process is likely to unfold before Jon Gericke spoke to Dr. Kingsley Makhubela, Former Diplomat & Conflict Resolution Expert as well as Mikatekiso Kubayi a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Global Dialogue.

Black self-determination and liberation requires a holistic and strategic integration of political power, cultural memory, and economic self-determination. Across a week of reflection, convenings, and engagement, from Birmingham's Civil Rights Historical District to Atlanta's Sweet Auburn Avenue to Daytona's Paul Laurence Dunbar House and Wilberforce Ohio's National Afro American Museum and Cultural Center, we center the urgency of reclaiming and redefining learning, community, citizenship, institution building and governance on African terms.The Ballot represents more than just voting, though that is an essential element of civic participation: It symbolizes collective potential power. The long fight against voter suppression is revealed by the fracturing myth of inclusion within a settler colonial state to be a potent weapon for realizing collective power. As W.E.B. Du Bois and others demonstrate, the struggle for political power is communitarian, not individualist—and the US South remains a battleground, not of defeat, but of underutilized potential.The Book highlights the liberatory role of education, historical memory, and cultural knowledge. Case studies of figures like Martin Delany show how Black communities must resist erasure and re-center themselves as global actors in a world system undergoing transformation. Reclaiming narratives that fostering an understanding of internal governance formations is necessary to recover agency.The Buck calls for an economic awakening—exposing capitalism's lie of meritocracy and the theft of public wealth. Reimagining collective economics through community interdependence, strategic ownership, and global solidarity becomes a compelling path forward. From the ruins of racial capitalism, a new economic ethos must emerge, rooted in mutual aid and sovereignty.Voting, reading, and spending must be done with vision and unity. “We'll find a way, or make one” is not merely a slogan—it's a generational imperative in the ongoing struggle to complete the unfinished work of Black freedom and transformation.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile, in an interview with FRANCE 24's Georja Calvin-Smith, denied President Donald Trump's claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa. Responding to Trump's scheme to welcome white South Africans to the US as refugees, Mashatile said, “If they want to be refugees, it's their business. But they can't bad-mouth the country.” Pretoria is also looking to expand its diplomatic ties with Paris. Mashatile said that while relations with the US are positive and valued, Africa's powerhouse isn't putting all its eggs in one basket. 

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the White House Wednesday ostensibly to talk about trade policies and the upcoming G20 Summit. But the Oval Office meeting with President Trump quickly devolved into accusations of a genocide against white farmers in South Africa.

The forest industry is booming in the American South, but communities like those in the Carolinas are raising concerns about the environmental and social costs. Discover their innovative solutions and what it means for sustainability.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Full Episode Description:  The forest industry in the American South is booming, but at what cost? According to some government leaders, logging is bringing big economic gains to rural America. But in places like the Carolinas, frontline communities – and especially the low-income people of color and Indigenous people who live in the midst of all this — are telling a different story, and have solutions. With Trump's increased tariffs on Canadian timber and wood products, deforestation is only going to speed up in America's “wood basket.” Two Carolina-based organizations are converting a 300-acre former South Carolina plantation into the South's first environmental justice training center: the Brittons Neck Community Forest. In this episode, Laura is joined by three guests spearheading the project. Lucia Ibarra and Danna Smith are from the Dogwood Alliance, an organization based in Asheville, North Carolina that mobilizes diverse voices to protect Southern forests and communities from destructive industrial logging. Reverend Leo Woodberry is a South Carolina-based faith leader & environmental activist. Together they're showing the true value of forests in the US South, and what it means to remain climate resilient in the face of heavy industry. Plus, a commentary from Laura on what trees can teach us about gender identity.“. . . We will start beginning to develop case studies and highlight it to policy makers . . . We are going to expand upon these other communities and create other pathways to justice in using this model. And this will help to build a foundation, to create equitable policy that elevates people, ecosystem, the value of them over the industries that are greenwashing . . . - Lucia Ibarra“. . . This project is something that we like to refer to as restorative justice. We know that people labored on this land in slavery without compensation, and so for them to have the land now and be able to use it for recreational activities, et cetera, can help them to create an engine of economic development . . . We see that as restorative justice . . .” - Reverend Leo Woodberry“. . . Too often there's this narrative about logging for economic development . . .

Synopsis:  A new environmental justice training center is transforming a former South Carolina plantation into a hub of climate resilience and equity. Learn how local leaders are pioneering change in the US South's logging narrative.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Full Conversation:  The forest industry in the American South is booming, but at what cost? According to some government leaders, logging is bringing big economic gains to rural America. But in places like the Carolinas, frontline communities – and especially the low-income people of color and Indigenous people who live in the midst of all this — are telling a different story, and have solutions. With Trump's increased tariffs on Canadian timber and wood products, deforestation is only going to speed up in America's “wood basket.” Two Carolina-based organizations are converting a 300-acre former South Carolina plantation into the South's first environmental justice training center: the Brittons Neck Community Forest. In this episode, Laura is joined by three guests spearheading the project. Lucia Ibarra and Danna Smith are from the Dogwood Alliance, an organization based in Asheville, North Carolina that mobilizes diverse voices to protect Southern forests and communities from destructive industrial logging. Reverend Leo Woodberry is a South Carolina-based faith leader & environmental activist. Together they're showing the true value of forests in the US South, and what it means to remain climate resilient in the face of heavy industry. Plus, a commentary from Laura on what trees can teach us about gender identity.“. . . We will start beginning to develop case studies and highlight it to policy makers . . . We are going to expand upon these other communities and create other pathways to justice in using this model. And this will help to build a foundation, to create equitable policy that elevates people, ecosystem, the value of them over the industries that are greenwashing . . . - Lucia Ibarra“. . . This project is something that we like to refer to as restorative justice. We know that people labored on this land in slavery without compensation, and so for them to have the land now and be able to use it for recreational activities, et cetera, can help them to create an engine of economic development . . . We see that as restorative justice . . .” - Reverend Leo Woodberry“. . . Too often there's this narrative about logging for economic development . . . We needed to show the alternative, and how you can keep forest standing in a community in a way that actually benefits the community. That it's good for climate, it's good for biodiversity, it's good for climate resiliency, and it's good for the local economy.” - Danna SmithGuests:• Lucia Ibarra: Director of Conservation, Dogwood Alliance• Danna Smith: Executive Director, Dogwood Alliance• Reverend Leo Woodberry: Pastor, Kingdom Living Temple & Executive Director, New Alpha Community Development Corporation Watch the episode cut airing on PBS stations across the country at our YouTube channelSubscribe to episode notes via Patreon Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes:• Jubilee Justice Regenerative Farming: Tackling Racism with Rice: Watch / Podcast:  Episode & Related Commentary by Laura• Colette Pichon Battle on Climate Justice Reparations: Watch / Podcasts: Episode & Full Conversation• Climate Change Journalism: Moving Frontline Communities from the Sideline to the Center: Watch / Podcast:  Episode Related Articles and Resources:•  Duties on Canadian lumber have helped U.S. production grow while B.C. towns suffer.  Now, Trump's tariffs loom, by Andrew Kurjata, November 7, 2024, CBC News• Deforestation in the US South Is Four Times Greater Than Logging in South American Rainforests, by Danna Smith & Leo Woodberry, Truth Out• Impacts of Wood Pellets in the US, by Dogwood Alliance•  Logging is destroying southern forests - and dividing US environmentalists, by Christopher Ketcham, June 29, 2022, Grist Laura Flanders and Friends Crew: Laura Flanders, along with Sabrina Artel, Jeremiah Cothren, Veronica Delgado, Janet Hernandez, Jeannie Hopper, Sarah Miller, Nat Needham, David Neuman, and Rory O'Conner.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on continuing dangers from this week's winter storm across parts of the southern U.S.

A Forgotten Migration: Black Southerners, Segregation Scholarships, and the Debt Owed to Public HBCUs (UNC Press, 2024) tells the little-known story of "segregation scholarships" awarded by states in the US South to Black students seeking graduate education in the pre-Brown v. Board of Education era. Under the Plessy v. Ferguson decision, decades earlier, southern states could provide graduate opportunities for African Americans by creating separate but equal graduate programs at tax-supported Black colleges or by admitting Black students to historically white institutions. Most did neither and instead paid to send Black students out of state for graduate education. Crystal R. Sanders examines Black graduate students who relocated to the North, Midwest, and West to continue their education with segregation scholarships, revealing the many challenges they faced along the way. Students that entered out-of-state programs endured long and tedious travel, financial hardship, racial discrimination, isolation, and homesickness. With the passage of Brown in 1954, segregation scholarships began to wane, but the integration of graduate programs at southern public universities was slow. In telling this story, Sanders demonstrates how white efforts to preserve segregation led to the underfunding of public Black colleges, furthering racial inequality in American higher education.

In this episode of District 3 Podcast, hosts Irvin and Miggs sit down with educator, organizer, and scholar Jonathan Peraza Campos. A passionate advocate for Latinx education, Jonathan is an educator Teaching Central America—an initiative aimed at empowering Latinx students through a deeper understanding of their Central American heritage and history. Jonathan's educational journey spans from his undergraduate degree at Emory University to his Master's in Social Foundations of Education from Georgia State University, and now, as he pursues a second Master's in History and Latinx/Latin American Studies. His academic work intersects with his activism, focusing on the connections between racism, imperialism, militarism, immigration, incarceration, and education, particularly in the context of the US South and Central America. In this conversation, Jonathan shares how his work with Teaching Central America is not just about teaching history—it's about connecting Latinx youth to their cultural roots, fostering pride and resilience, and addressing systemic issues that impact their communities. Jonathan discusses how education can be a tool for social justice, with a focus on Latinx and migrant youth in the Atlanta area. He explores the ways that history, identity, and resistance are intertwined, and how teaching these subjects can spark courage and activism in the classroom and beyond. Join Irvin and Miggs as they discuss the transformative power of education, the importance of reclaiming Central American history, and how Jonathan's work is helping to build a generation of brave, empowered Latinx leaders.
