“I wish I could make this podcast required listening for all Americans.
For everyone (of any race) who wonders about the Black History that’s been left out of, and is increasingly erased from our history classes, this podcast assembles examples (with context and explanation) of Black Excellence and courage in the face of powerful oppressive forces, and lifts the voices and work of contemporary Black scholars above the cacophony of public discourse that too often drowns them out, and frequently centers on unearthing the buried stories of violence, humiliation, and denial of justice committed and condoned by white people against the Black people they kidnapped and enslaved for centuries, that white hierarchies of supremacy continue to inflict on their descendants to this day.
For Black Americans who want the truth and history that’s been denied them for too long, and the white Americans (like myself) who want to be genuine, not performative, allies in their fight for justice and equality, this podcast is essential.
And there’s something compelling about Jay’s voice that conveys warmth, dignity, and integrity, and makes even the hardest truths easier to hear and face (“easy” isn’t the best word for it, but I can’t quite put my finger on a better one). His interview style creates space for his guests to tell the fullness of their stories and discuss their research and work in depth.
I could listen to Jay read the phone book, but I’m enormously thankful he’s doing this work instead!”

“I have a black studies AA degree and am white. What I was surprised at was the amount of Islamic participation there was in the salve trades. Many of my 1960s friends surprisingly identify as Muslim went they were the first step. Is there a lesson on Muslim acts?”

“Well done and informative, while being entertaining. This is a fantastic option for anyone who wants to learn and appreciate all of the factors that contribute to the Black experience in America. The historical references are very well done and tell stories that everyone needs to hear.”
