In this gripping and deeply reflective episode of the Royale Figurez Podcast, Samuel Richardson III challenges the mainstream narrative surrounding Memorial Day, offering an honest and powerful perspective on what this holiday truly means for Black Americans.
This isn’t a celebration. It’s not “happy.”
It’s a collective trauma we’re forced to relive each year.
Through raw truth and heartfelt delivery, Samuel explores how Memorial Day, a day meant to honor sacrifice, often erases the pain, injustice, and silenced legacy of Black soldiers who fought for a country that didn’t fight for them. You’ll walk away understanding:
- Why Memorial Day evokes grief, not pride, in Black communities
- How systemic racism followed Black veterans home from war
- The unspoken weight of generational trauma tied to patriotic sacrifice
- Why honoring our own legacy—through financial preparedness and family protection—is the most powerful resistance
This is not just history. This is our present truth, and it’s time we own it.
