Ep. 128 - Black Faces Capitulating in High Spaces: The Legacy Of Black Politics

from Broke-ish® · host Erika Brown & Amber Sims

On this episode of Broke-ish, Amber and Erika are joined by community organizer and lawyer, Kamau Franklin, to discuss the legacy of Black politics and what the past teaches us about leveraging our collective activism. Kamau highlights the systemic and interpersonal reasons that electoral politics and Black politicians have consistently failed to move beyond political theater to substantive, liberatory change. And most importantly, we discuss how to combine electoral engagement with community activism and self-determination to forge a new political path that results in true liberty and justice for all.
