Sikivu Hutchinson & ”Conversations” w/Verdell Wright

After 18 episodes we're wrapping our premier season covering Black history, race consciousness, religion, freethought & liberation movements. We hope you have listened, questioned, gained perspective, empathy and enlightenment about the established Legacy of Black Freethinkers, dissenters and non-religious leaders in American Civil Rights and around the globe. Our season I concludes with the final part of our “Conversations” series featuring co-host Verdell Wright and a very special presentation from Black atheist, author, activist, scholar and director, Dr. Sikivu Hutchinson! _____________________________   (Ep. 18)    Show Notes    Host: Rogiérs    Writing & Narration: Rogiérs    Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC   Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon   Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu   Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC   Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson   Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks, Overjoyed Live in Japan (1997) feat.
