America’s Black Capital and Poor News Network
Manage episode 413481593 series 2771935
Americas Black Capital: How African Americans Remade Atlanta in the Shadow of the Confederacy chronicles how a center of Black excellence emerged amid virulent expressions of white nationalism as African Americans pushed back against Confederate ideology to create an extraordinary locus of achievement.
Alongside author Dr. Jeffrey O.G. Ogbar, in this episode we examine the methods in which Black Atlanteans pushed for social, economic, and political upliftment through the development of Black collegiate systems, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. We center the conversation on America’s long history of racism and voter disenfranchisement.
In the second half of the show, Poor News Network explores America’s War on the poor.
