Dr. Gerald Horne on Secrets of U.S. (Black) History on the Eve of #America250

Dr. Gerald Horne’s intellectual power is widely recognized — he earned the American Book Award for The Dawning of the Apocalypse, a sweeping study of how the 16th century forged the intertwined systems of slavery, settler colonialism, and capitalism that still shape global power. He received the Frantz Fanon Lifetime Achievement Award. On this podcast Horne often breaks down the colonial process of the founding of the U.S. - Spanish slave trade, the Haitian Revolution, the origins of the U.S. Constitution, the Dred Scott decision, and the three‑fifths theory reveal the racial foundations of the nation's origin — and how 18th‑century constitutional structures are being tested today.https://www.uh.edu/class/history/faculty-and-staff/horne_g/ https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/
