Afrocentric. Morgan Gray Mission: To redefine and expand the understanding of Afrocentrism by illuminating the deeper, often untold histories and lived experiences of the Black Aboriginal peoples of North America—those later labeled as African American. The podcast bridges these truths with the ancestral narratives of Africa, South America, and the Caribbean, fostering a renewed global appreciation for Black heritage, resilience, and cultural continuity. Purpose: This podcast exists to challenge limited historical frameworks, such as the dominant 1619 narrative, by restoring depth, dignity, and context to the story of the original dark-skinned, swarthy peoples of the Americas. Through dialogue, storytelling, and scholarship, it seeks to empower listeners to see the continuum between ancient ancestry, contemporary identity, and future potential.
