84. Tangazo! Discussions with Dr. Samantha Elliott Briggs PhD, Reverend Stephanie Wilkens, and Alicia Smith

  Join Host Hank Thompson as, on this Episode, three dynamic women, from different parts of the country with different backgrounds, speak on recently passed Texas laws restricting a woman's right to control her own body!    Dr. Samantha Elliott Briggs, PhD. University of Alabama at Birmingham, social justice activist Reverend Stephanie Wilkens, of Houston Texas and activist Alicia Smith, of Minneapolis Minnesota, were my guest for a riveting 45 minute discussion, that included the attempts to suppress voting rights for people of color.    Dr. Briggs, is the daughter of former St. Louis Attorney, Forriss Elliott Sr. and the late Sylvia Elliott and I have known her since her childhood. She along with Reverend Stephanie Wilkens, fresh from a Poor people's protest march, on the Texas state capital in Austin and George Floyd activist, Alicia Smith. All agreed that given what black folks, have already endured in this country, we will overcome all of the racist motivated laws and efforts designed to demoralize and control people of color, in this country! Hear their stories of their different experiences, dealing with racism and a history of oppression and how as women of color, they are undaunted and even more determined than ever, to not only survive this new assault but to use it for the positive outcome they all desire, they are indeed, Unbreakable!   Hank Thompson   Alicia Smith   Dr. Samantha Elliott Briggs, PhD.   Reverend Stephanie Wilkens
