On this show, we have an in-depth discussion with Ms. Bertha Todd, a long-time Wilmington teacher, and community activist, that explains the impact of the 1898 Wilmington Race Massacre and the Wilmington Ten case on the growth and development of that community.

The Wilmington Ten: nine men and one woman – wrongly accused and convicted of arson and conspiracy. Each of the ten serving substantial prison time for crimes they did not commit. The nine men were African-American. The woman was white. The violence that erupted in Wilmington fifty years ago, in early February 1971, was fomented by racial tension, desegregation, and active white supremacist groups facing off against black activists who were demanding equal rights and equal educational opportunities.

"Speaking of My History" season 1 episode 4 - Reginald F. Lewis (December 7, 1942 – January 19, 1993), was an American businessman. He was the richest African-American man in the 1980s. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he grew up in a middle-class neighborhood. He won a football scholarship to Virginia State College, graduating with a degree in economics in 1965. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1968 and was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. Recruited to top New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP immediately after law school, Lewis left to start his own firm two years later. After 15 years as a corporate lawyer with his own practice, Lewis focused on corporate law, structuring investments in minority-owned businesses and became special counsel to major corporations like General Foods and Equitable Life (now AXA). Mr. Lewis was also counsel to the New York-based Commission for Racial Justice and represented The Wilmington Ten. He was successful in forcing North Carolina to pay interest on the Wilmington Ten bond. he moved to the other side of the table by creating TLC Group L.P., a venture capital firm, in 1983. His first major deal was the purchase of the McCall Pattern Company, a home sewing pattern business, for $22.5 million. Lewis had learned from a Fortune magazine article that the Esmark holding company, which had recently purchased Norton Simon, planned to divest from the McCall Pattern Company, a maker of home sewing patterns founded in 1870. With fewer and fewer people sewing at home, McCall was seemingly on the decline—though it had posted profits of $6 million in 1983 on sales of $51.9 million. At the time, McCall was number two in its industry, holding 29.7 percent of the market, compared to industry leader Simplicity Patterns with 39.4 percent. He managed to negotiate the price down, then raised $1 million himself from family and friends and borrowed the rest from institutional investors and investment banking firm First Boston Corp. Within a year, he turned the company around by freeing up capital tied in fixed assets such as building and machinery, and finding a new use for machinery during downtime by manufacturing greeting card. In 1987, Lewis bought Beatrice International Foods from Beatrice Companies for $985 million, renaming it TLC Beatrice International, a snack food, beverage, and grocery store conglomerate that was the largest African-American owned and managed business in the U.S. The deal was partly financed through Mike Milken of the maverick investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert. In order to reduce the amount needed to finance the leveraged buyout, Lewis came up with a plan to sell off some of the division's assets simultaneous with the takeover. When TLC Beatrice reported revenue of $1.8 billion in 1987, it became the first black-owned company to have more than $1 billion in annual sales. At its peak in 1996, TLC Beatrice International Holdings Inc. had sales of $2.2 billion and was number 512 on Fortune magazine's list of 1,000 largest companies. In 1992, Lewis donated $3 million to Harvard Law School, the largest grant at the time in the school's history.[5] The school renamed its International Law Center the Reginald F. Lewis International Law Center, the first major facility at Harvard named in honor of an African-American on January 19, 1993 (aged 50) New York City, Lewis died , from brain cancer. Mr. Lewis wife Loida Lewis took over the company a year after his death.[11] Loida Lewis currently Chairs the Reginald F. Lewis (RFL) Foundation, which also supports the Reginald F. Lewis College of Business at Virginia State University. In 2005, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture opened in Baltimore with the support of a $5 million grant from his foundation.[7] It is the East Coast's largest African American museum occupying an 82,000 square-foot facility with permanent and special exhibition space.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS George E. Curry, former editor of the National Newspaper Publishers Association and Emerge magazine, died August 20th at the age of 69. Alice Jervay Thatch recounted his relentless commitment to counter-racism. "George Curry was a part of NNPAâ??s effort to gain pardons for the Wilmington Ten. On the day NNPA announced at the National Press Club our intent to secure those pardons, George interviewed Wilmington Ten leader Dr. Ben Chavis onstage. It brought tears to our eyes, including Benâ??s. Later, Ben had to admit that this was the most emotional interview he had experienced and the first time he had cried in public!" More than a decade after the levee failure and Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana is again suffering historic flooding; General Russel Honor�© reports that more than 100,000 homes have been decimated. Nate Parker has supplanted Bill Cosby as the symbol of rape culture. Parker has not been convicted of any sexual crimes and a has film slated for release in weeks, but what's become primary are the unsubstantiated allegations of a dead White woman. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
