Closing Black History Month; Activist Ashanti Gholar; Labor Is Back; "Rights are Not Permanent"

The February 26, 2026 episode of CWA “OUR” Power Radio Show marks the close of Black History Month with a reflective and forward-looking conversation about labor, rights, and collective responsibility. Errol opens the show by grounding the moment in history and movement, lifting up activist Ashanti Gholar as a symbol of modern civic engagement and organizing power. Tea With Tay – “Labor Is Back” with Tay Akins sets the tone, examining the resurgence of worker organizing and what it means for Black communities moving from survival to strategy. David Marshall’s Marshall Minute follows with sharp context on accountability, memory, and why movements stall when we forget the lessons of the past. In a deeply grounded conversation, Errol Minor hosts “An Injury to One—But Do We Mean It?” with CWA 7250 members from Minneapolis, digging into solidarity, cross-union responsibility, and whether the labor movement truly shows up when it counts. All hosts then take on the urgent truth that rights are not permanent, unpacking how quickly protections can erode without vigilance, participation, and power. Mikeya Jones closes the awareness segment by tying Black History Month’s legacy to present-day struggles, before Timmia Wiley delivers Union Buster of the Week, reminding listeners that accountability doesn’t pause just because the month ends. The message is clear: Black history isn’t a chapter—it’s a charge.
