Black History Year
Learning your history makes you - and your people - stronger. As Black people, we know we’re left out of the history books. That the media images are skewed. That we need access to experts, information and ideas so we can advance our people. Black History Year connects you to the history, thinkers, and activists that are left out of the mainstream conversations. You may not agree with everything you hear, but we’re always working toward one goal: uniting for the best interest of Black people worldwide. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com.

If you loved Sinners, you'll wanna tune in. This week on Black History Year, we're asking, "What happens when a whole town decides the map no longer defines them--and then proves it?" On this special crossover episode with the film-fanatics at The Micheaux Mission, host Darren is cracking open the must-see Afro-Brazilian thriller "Bacurau" (2019). Part Western, part sci-fi, part anti-colonial manifesto (YES, that), they explore how...
