We are featuring Dr. Elisabeth Gruner, one of the University of Richmond's English Professors once again. Why? Because we want to illustrate exactly how Professors can gaslight their students and mold them into little activists. We will be walking you through Professor Gruner's English 299 syllabus. Week by week, she erodes away at the minds of her students by gaslighting and subverting everything they once held dear. By the end of the class, the students are at lectures with notorious activist leaders. Don't believe us? Well, watch the whole video because we don't make these claims lightly.

She was a key figure in the fight to force the creation of the first civilian oversight commission of the LA Sheriff's Department, but is most widely known as one of the three original co-founders of Black Lives Matter and for her recent, best-selling book, “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir.”

On June 17th, 2021 President Joe Biden signed a law making Juneteenth a federal holiday. I chose to use this *day off* as a day to further educate myself and reflect on the history of Juneteenth. In this episode, I share my reactions to re-watching Ava DuVernay's documentary, 13th and to Patrisse Khan-Cullor's book, “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir”.

DA Boudin and Rachel are joined this week by Patrisse Cullors, the cofounder of the Black Lives Matter movement. They discuss the long-term impact of the Black Lives Matter movement for people of color in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the trial and conviction of Derek Chauvin. The conversation is both broad and deep as it covers police accountability; mental health; and intersectionality. The group also explores the opposition to progressive prosecutors and the push to hold police accountable.

This phenomenal book is a remix for young people of Kendi’s original Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, and we all felt that it was a phenomenal read and is such a great fit for the classroom.   Bookish Check-In Ashley - Tiffany D.

This month, we read The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. This the story of identical twin sisters (and their daughters) spanning the fifties through the nineties. Desiree and Stella are inseparable growing up in the fictional light-skinned Black town of Mallard, Louisiana during the fifties in the Jim Crow-era south. When they are 16, they run away together to New Orleans. From there, their lives take completely different turns. Desiree marries a dark-skinned man and returns home to raise her daughter in Mallard, while Stella goes on to pass for white - hiding her identity and past from her new family. The book follows the girls’ stories and their daughters, who eventually end up meeting via a chance encounter. We discuss colorism, the theme of running away throughout the book, our interpretations of the title, and our mixed reviews on the ending. Although this book has been in the works for 4 years, its release couldn’t be more timely, as the story has such pointed views about race and privilege. We can’t wait to hear what you think of the book!

In light of the unjust loss of Black lives in America and of the Black Lives Matter movement, we wanted to share an episode from 2018 where, for our book club, we discussed one of our most favorite YA literature books for the classroom, Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give. In the episode, we discuss the novel and share pairings including Gabrielle Union's We're Going to Need More Wine, Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil's The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After, and Nic Stone's Dear Martin. ​   Note: We read a few passages from the text of the novel that include strong language.   Spoilers are inevitable throughout our discussion, so consider whether or not to listen if you haven't yet read the book!   Book Pairings Jen - Gabrielle Union's We're Going to Need More Wine Sara - Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil's The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After Ashley - Nic Stone's Dear Martin ​   Books Mentioned in Classroom Connections Jason Reynolds's Long Way Down Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird​ Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely's All American Boys   Other Works Mentioned Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele's When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir Angie Thomas at the National Book Festival Book Riot's "Is it Time to Retire To Kill a Mockingbird?" by Jennifer Marer Jason Reynolds's books     Interested in what else we're reading?

Last week I learned to “Listen more; talk less. It will be good to give the microphone to someone else who is living a different experience than your own.”I’ve been incredibly inspired to use my platform to continue to uplift voices and stories of those who need to be heard right now. So I’d like to remind you if you didn’t hear it last week or maybe you did and thought, what could I possibly have to say? What could I contribute? Is my story/thought/idea/moment worth sharing? I am here to remind you, the answer is yes, you do have a story to share.Last week, I had originally set a deadline to call into the voicemail line I set up. After thinking on it this past week, I realized there is no deadline on telling your story. There is no deadline on speaking your truth. There is no deadline on reaching out to me to help you conquer your fears. Facing Fear with Sara is open to you.I’d like to remind you I’ve set up a voicemail line and an anonymous form for our Black brothers and sisters to call in and tell your story. Here’s how you can...Call 317-296-3737 (for nonverbal email facingfearwithsara@gmail.com). To remain 100% anonymous, fill out this form Share a life experience, an impactful story, your hope, fears, perspective or whatever’s on your heartIf you're a Black business owner and would like to promote your business and obtain free advertising from me, I invite you as wellLeave your first and/or last name, location, email and phone (for me to contact if needed or if you’d like to have a conversation with me rather than leaving a voicemail) OR choose to remain completely anonymousMaybe you know someone else with a story needing to be heard. Send them this episode via text or DM them with my social media posts on Facebook or Instagram at @facingfearwithsara. I hope whoever is listening finds warmth and encouragement in hearing my voice inviting them to open this line of communication. There so many resources out there and I encourage you to continue reading, listening and taking action. One resource I want to share is the Brown Eye, Blue Eye experiment by Jane Elliott. And then I want to you to listen to an interview she did just recently. Finally, we will end this show with 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence in honor of George Floyd. Accountability is important. Here is what I am doing to educate myself. Please know I am open to more resources and education, so send them my way.Donated to NAACP, Black Lives Matter, WeTheProtesters, Minnesota Freedom FundSign the petition for Justice for Breonna TaylorIn a current book study group with I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness and will pick up next When They Call You a Terrorist A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele

In light of the nation-wide public uprising that followed the murder of George Floyd, we return to Patrisse Cullors, author of When They Call You a Terrorist: a Black Lives Matter Memoir. At the 2018 Lambda LitFest, Patrisse spoke with host Eric Newman about her activism, the philosophy that undergirds #BlackLivesMatter and how queer writers and activists from the 1960s and 1970s continue to shape her political vision and practice. While Cullors celebrates recent victories against police brutality and the prison system in Los Angeles, she also gives the audience inspiration for fighting back on what was then the eve of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Today, Kaytee is chatting with online friend Anna Hithersay. Kaytee and Anna both got started on the road to racial justice multiple years ago, but we do not claim to be experts. We do have a few years of reading and listening under our belts and want to point you toward the resources we have found and the places we have learned. This episode is meant to point OUTWARD, to give our white listeners the starting places, the books, podcasts, and accounts, and the conversations to get started. Tune in to hear about: How we each got started on the road to racial justice Anna’s “Do Better” book club and embracing the awkward Questions and Answers from our Currently Reading Bookish Friends A list of books and resources to get you started on your own journey And, of course, a book she wants to press into your hands. Connect with Anna on Instagram: @ahithersay and @comehither_andstay Minisode show notes are not timestamped, but this episode includes a huge list of resources. Here’s a comprehensive list of the books we mentioned (and the ones we skipped for time), the lists of Black bookstores and Black bookstagrammers you might want to start following, the podcasts and articles we talked about, and anything else I can link to that we mentioned. These show notes are meant to be a starting place, to hold information that you can come back to in order to continue this journey and find additional resources from our Black brothers and sisters who are lifting their voices. The work will not end anytime soon. Prepare for a long haul.

At the 2018 Women of the World Festival in London, Kim Chakanetsa brings together two extraordinary women who have been instrumental in the fight against racism and police brutality. In 2013, three women came together to form an active response to systemic racism in the US. They'd just learned that the man who shot dead an unarmed black teenager called Trayvon Martin had been acquitted for the killing. They said simply: Black Lives Matter. One of them was Patrisse Khan-Cullors. Patrisse grew up in Los Angeles and became an activist at an early age, having witnessed how her own family members had been treated at the hands of police. In January 2018, she published her memoir, When They Call You a Terrorist. Baroness Doreen Lawrence has campaigned for police reform ever since the murder of her son Stephen in London in 1993. He was stabbed to death at a bus stop in an unprovoked racist attack. Doreen's tireless fight for justice finally resulted in two of his killers being convicted, and in a public inquiry. This resulted in the landmark Macpherson Report, which identified institutional racism in the police service, and led to widespread police reform. Doreen Lawrence has become an important public figure in the UK and was made a life peer in the House of Lords in 2013.

Hello, and welcome to Bri Books podcast. This episode is the season 3 finale. In this episode, we’re going through the five most durable, most enduring moments of season 3. I hope you stick around to the end, where I’ll be sharing what’s next with the podcast. I’d love to know, what are the most durable moments of the season? Tweet me at @bribookspod and using #bribooks on Instagram and Twitter. I can’t wait to ideate with you via the newsletter. 1:38 – These moments from “Bri Books” are as fresh now as they were when I spoke with the guests. They’re the ones I said, “Mmph!” to while I edited, and the ones that made me smile ear-to-ear when I listened back and put the episodes into the world. 2:20 - #5: Ep. 3.2:“From NABJ Convention to First Job” feat. Shauna Beni, on becoming a student-learner during her first job post-college. 3:49 – #4: Ep. 3.4: Wesley Lowery discussing his book, “They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice Movement,” and humanizing the symbolism of the protest can be difficult, but Wesley’s book was one of the most enduring pieces of writing. Also, I can’t wait to read “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir” by Patrisse Kahn-Cullors and Asha Bandele. 6:52 – #3: 3.4: “Focus” Feat. Paulana Lamonier. Paulana guest-curated an episode about the book “Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence” by Daniel Goleman. The most durable part of this conversation occurred when we discussed how to cultivate the muscle of focus. 10:38 –#2: 3.13: “Top Reads for 2018” feat. Hiwote Getaneh. Hiwote suggested we all read the book “Designing Your Life,” to gain clarity on life and career choices. 13:15 – #1: 3.7: A conversation about the book “Drop The Ball” feat. Tiffany Dufu. What makes this moment the most durable is Tiffany’s insistence that how what matters is knowing the pressures you’re putting on yourself, and the ones you’re allowing others to put on you. Trust me, it was a deep conversation and you can listen here (season 3, episode 7). 16:40 – UPDATES!  Bri Books will be returning April 3, 2018 for season 4, on a biweekly schedule (every other Tuesday, a new episode will drop).

Perhaps no social movement of the 21st century has had the impact of Black Lives Matter.  Born as an online outcry in 2013, it became a fully-fledged vehicle for nationwide protests that have called for for criminal justice reform and a reckoning with racism's continuing force.  In this episode, Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele join Miwa Messer in the studio to talk about their stirring new book When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir.

Can we treat people who are different than us with humanity and respect? That’s the simple core takeaway from Patrisse Kahn-Cullors’ memoir “When They Call You a Terrorist” — the opposite of what Trump has said and stands for.
