19 BLACK FAMILIES PURCHASE 97 ACRES TO BUILD A COMMUNITY
A few weeks ago 19 black families made national news, when word broke that they purchased over 100 acres of land in rural Georgia to build their own self-sufficient town operated and controlled by them. The idea was to create a thriving safe haven for black families. What the press lacked was details on what the group's plans were. We had the great pleasure of sitting down with three members of the group. They explained their motivation for creating their own city. They told us the plan for expansion to buy more land. They also explained the steps to become an incorporated city, they detailed the expenses involved, they outlined the architectural plans, and more. In episode 108 we get a firsthand master class in developing and operating a city that started from scratch. #freedomGeorgia #groupeconomics #usdaloan
Dick Gregory: Race, Comedy, & Justice
Its hard to predict whether Dick Gregory will be most celebrated as a path-breaking comedian or a trailblazing civil rights activist. Its impossible to imagine the history of either movement without him—or without his unique blending of the two. In the early 1960s, he became one of the first black comedians to perform before integrated audiences. In 1967, he ran for mayor of Chicago against Richard J. Daley, and a year later for president as the Freedom and Peace Party candidate. The author of and contributor to many politically charged books, Gregory is still a staunch, wry political voice across a range of issues as varied as nutrition, social justice, and the environment. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Laura Washington interviews the provocative and always unpredictable Gregory.Its hard to predict whether Dick Gregory will be most celebrated as a path-breaking comedian or a trailblazing civil rights activist.

How the rise of African creators impacted black culture
In recent years, Africans on the continent and in the diaspora have become leading voices in black culture – in music, film, fashion, social media, comedy and even our memes.
