The Black Councilor Nobody Called | Ep 2

What this episode covers

In 2016, I became the first Black city councilor in Quincy's history. For four years, nobody asked me about Black lives in Quincy. Then George Floyd died in Minnesota, and overnight everyone cared. Except they still didn't call me.This is a case study in how attention is engineered, how political opportunism works, and why your instinct that something felt off was absolutely correct.RECOMMENDATIONS:Book: "Bridging the Divide: My Life" by Ed Brooke - The first Black U.S. Senator elected by popular vote.

The pattern continues.This podcast is for smart contrarians who sense they're being manipulated by media and politics and want frameworks for clearer thinking.Contact: @tothebankpod | [email protected]
