Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhat counts as “real knowledge”? Who decides which histories are taught—and which ones are left out? In this episode of Black History Buff: Definitions , we share the term Epistemic Erasure —a powerful concept that explains how knowledge, cultures, and histories are systematically erased or dismissed, especially those belonging to Black, Indigenous, and other marginalised communities. Epistemic erasure shows up in classrooms, textbooks, media, and even in everyday conversations. It’s when African contributions to science go unmentioned, when oral traditions are dismissed as less valid than written records, and when entire worldviews are ignored because they don’t fit into dominant narratives. This short, sharp episode offers a clear definition and helps listeners recognise how knowledge, power, and oppression intersect in subtle but lasting ways. Perfect for educators, students, and anyone committed to decolonising education and understanding how systems of exclusion operate beyond just laws and policies.

Stewart – The fearless orator who, in 1831, became the first Black woman to publicly speak on politics and women's rights —only to be silenced by society. 🔥 Frances Ellen Watkins Harper – The poet and abolitionist who stood before the National Women’s Rights Convention in 1866 and called out white feminists for ignoring Black women’s struggles.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHey Family, it’s King Kurus, the Black History Buff. Today, we’re diving into the story of the Harlem Hellfighters —a regiment of African American soldiers who proved their bravery on the battlefields of World War I but returned home to a nation that refused to honour their sacrifice. Denied the chance to fight under their own flag, these men took up arms alongside the French, earning their highest military honour, the Croix de Guerre , for their unmatched courage. 191 days on the front lines. No ground lost. No men captured. Yet, when the war ended, the battles they faced were far from over. Racism, segregation, and violence awaited them back home, a cruel reminder that the fight for dignity and equality was far from won. So, what happens when a country benefits from your service but refuses to acknowledge your worth? And how do we honour those who fought for a nation that didn’t fight for them?
