“Another very good episode: After watching Ava DuVernay's documentary, 13th, I was stunned by how much history I didn't know, not the least of which was convict leasing. So I read Douglas Blackmon's book, Slavery by Another Name and again I was shocked, so much so that I sent an email to Bryan Stephensons', Equal Justice Initiative. They replied: "We are grateful for your interest in the history and legacies of racial injustice. Slavery by Another Name by Douglas Blackmon is a crtical text that we often recommend to those interested in learning more about racial inequality. Our research corroborates Blackmon's findings and statements. As EJI's Executive Director Bryan Stevenson says, slavery evolved, it did not end. We have conducted detailed research on the eras of Slavery, Reconstruction, Lynching and Segregation which you can access at those hyperlinks. The conclusion that becomes evident is that the true evil of slavery in the United States was the creation of a false narrative of racial difference and white supremacy. Despite the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th Amendment, and even the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, we as a country have never confronted those false myths." When you bump the EJI response and Ava DuVerynay's documentary on the 13th amendment up against this podcast episode you have a lot to think about. In my experience most of my friends and family, when discussing race will eventually say something like, "Hey, I'm not racist but they (black people) are criminal." That view reflects the 2 false narratives of racial difference and white supremacy which we have been passing on from one generation to the next since the 17th century. I also suspect that a good number of those in the Religious Right are unaware of the racist origin detailed in this podcast. That's not to say there aren't any racists among them but I think a good number of them might be shocked to learn the history of their organization. One more reason we need to learn OUR (white and black) history which this podcast always does a great job of teaching. Thank you for your continued outstanding work!”Read full review »

More reviews of Black History for White People
“This podcast is pure gold to share with your white friends who may reiterate language like, “all lives matter / but we need statues to remember our history / I don’t see color” etc. AND could be open to new points of view. It’s soft, educational and covers the basics in a non-confrontational way....”Read full review »
