What is Black August? And why does it matter? In this episode, we're diving deep into the history and spirit of a month dedicated to resistance. It's a time to honor the freedom fighters and political prisoners who sacrificed everything for our liberation.
Our main focus is on the incredible legacy of Kwame Ture, formerly known as Stokely Carmichael. We'll follow his journey from a young, charismatic student leader in the Civil Rights Movement , the Freedom Rides, the infamous Parchman Penitentiary in Sunflower County, Mississippi, and Black Power.
