Our goal is simple—educate white people on Black history.

In this eye-opening episode, we journey through George Floyd's life and unveil his struggle with drug addiction and the systemic forces that criminalized him for self-medicating. We expose the corruption within the criminal justice system and private prisons, and delve into Derek Chauvin's chilling history of brutality. As we examine the systemic roots of Floyd's life and the dire need for change in policing, we emphasize the importance of becoming our own news source and seeking the truth in cases like George Floyd's. Join us in advocating for change in the systems that perpetuate racial injustice.

In this episode, we explore the life and legacy of Hillery Thomas Stewart, an obscure figure in history who managed to purchase his own freedom and acquire over 500 acres of land before the end of slavery.

We also delve into the systematic ways white institutions took land from Black farmers during the Jim Crow era and the oppressive reality of sharecropping. Finally, we examine the full story of George Floyd's life, tracing his roots through generations of struggle and injustice in America.

On October 16, 1968, during the medal ceremony at the Mexico City Olympics, Tommie Smith, the gold medal winner in the 200-meter sprint, and John Carlos, the bronze medal winner, stood on the podium in black socks and raised their black-gloved fists to protest racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans. Both men were forced to leave the Olympics, received death threats, and faced ostracism and continuing economic hardships.

In his first-ever memoir for young readers, Tommie Smith looks back on his childhood growing up in rural Texas through to his stellar athletic career, culminating in his historic victory and Olympic podium protest. Victory. Stand! paints a stirring portrait of an iconic moment in Olympic history that still resonates today.

This is a continuation of last week’s episode on Medgar Evers and part two dives into his work with the NAACP. In 1954, Medgar became the field secretary for the state of Mississippi for the NAACP and was incredibly active and energetic, still having the same energy he had in college. He was involved with the Biloxi wade-in, labor organizing, and getting unions involved in the civil rights struggle. His biographer, Michael Vincent Williams, said his reach encompassed every facet of the civil rights struggle and his presence was felt in voter registration drives, economic boycotts, sit-ins, investigative reporting, and other direct action tactics. He also helped to organize a boycott of the bus system to challenge segregation laws. The boycott was a success, and in 1965 the US Supreme Court declared segregation on buses was unconstitutional. He also sought to register black people to vote, lamenting how the law was used to prevent this. In Jones County, Mississippi, the number of registered black voters went from 1300 to 65. These measures were used by white people to hurt Black people, but also poor people in general. He recognized the systemic oppression of African Americans across the country and the continued threat of violence they faced. It is further noted that Evers played an important role in the Emmett Till investigation, convincing Mamie to have an open casket funeral, which was a pivotal moment that changed the trajectory of history. The conversation serves to illustrate the bravery and commitment of Evers to the cause of civil rights, despite the fear and danger that he faced.

For many, images in the media are a primary point of reference for the various characteristics people belonging to other social groups and cultures may possess. Additionally, these images often serve as the most contact individuals may have with people from different social and cultural groups.

The Stereotype Project Foundation seeks to deconstruct the way we learn about people and cultures while highlighting the gaps and illuminating limited and biased representations of social groups in the media.

It will study the images of cultural and social groups disseminated in the media; investigate how these images become norm; and then create opportunities for persons within those cultural and social groups to challenge, correct and add to the mainstream understanding of the group.

Emerald Garner wrote this memoir to honor her father, Eric Garner, as she feels that many people forget about the family and how it feels to grieve after experiencing trauma. She has been leading the voice for change ever since the wake of her father’s death. Her powerful and vulnerable essays call for both the transformation of the justice system and police force, as well as accountability for those in power.

One of her achievements includes getting the Eric Garner Anti-Chokehold Act approved. On June 8, 2020, both houses of the New York State Assembly passed this act. It criminalizes the use of chokeholds, or aggravated strangulation, of any kind by police officers in the state of New York. The act “would occur when a police officer or peace officer obstructs breathing or blood circulation by using a chokehold or similar restraint, thereby causing physical injury or death to another person." This would be a class C felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

According to the Bible, justice is not just police officers enforcing statutory law, but someone coming alongside the suffering and lowely and bringing restoration, order, and thriving. Justice is something every person is called to do in every facet of society.

Are you looking to learn more about what the Bible actually says?

If you’ve ever tried to read straight through the Bible, it doesn’t take long to become confused, offended, or bored.

Some people, understandably, become discouraged and may even give up engaging the Bible directly, or else they may begin to treat it more as a magic eight ball, asking “What does this mean to me?”, rather than trying to understand the Bible on its own terms?”

The Bible was written for us, but it was not written to us. We’re not the original audience. It was written in foreign languages, in unfamiliar genres, to a foreign culture.

We’re going to look at some key words and concepts employed by Scripture to better understand what these words meant in the days when the Bible was written.

And we’ll unearth new paradigms of understanding in words we assumed were insignificant.

If you’re as eager as we are to have your mistaken assumptions challenged, come learn with us.

This is bible words.
