Podcast (audiovisual library):

Our Podcast is an ongoing collection of audio speeches, interviews, and lectures by Black elders, professionals, young people, and others who are invested in our community. It was conceived as a learning tool about the African and African diaspora experience.

The purpose of the Podcast is to:

  • Use the audio “Theater of the Mind” to convey Blackness.
  • Serve as a voice for our views, advice, affirmations, and critique.
  • Enhance existing video content on our website.
  • Support the oral traditions that are the trademark of Black people.

Three Black Spanish podcasters find humor as they deal with prejudice and stereotypes.

Peggy Bouva was at home in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam a couple of years ago when she got a call that fascinated her.
The woman on the phone, Maartje Duin, calling from Amsterdam, said she wanted to talk about slavery.
Duin told Bouva that she had done some research into her own family history and found their families shared a connection:
One of Duin’s ancestors had co-owned a plantation in South America where Bouva’s ancestors had been enslaved.

In the second episode of White Lies, we unravel the story of the events that happened after the Rev. James Reeb’s death: the arrest of three men and the murder trial that followed. In the absence of an official trial transcript, we reconstruct the December 1965 trial using firsthand accounts, news reports and other documents.

A new serialized podcast from NPR investigates a 1965 cold case. New episodes every Tuesday starting May 14, 2019.
