In the first episode of the 2020 Election season, I interview Dr. Walter D. Greason, Historian, Educator, and Associate Professor at Monmouth University. We talk about his childhood in a rural, impoverished area, and how he overcame a bad stutter by rhyming along with hip-hop artists. Dr. Greason explains how we should not become solely focused on the upcoming election, but instead see the broader picture and honor the successes of the MOVEMENT. He discusses his experiences as a multi-cultural organizer and lays out a brilliant plan to help save higher education, all while improving the quality of teaching and lowering the cost. I ask him about the importance of art, comics, and Afrofuturism, and he shares his wisdom on the importance of friendship, camaraderie, and community.
