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.
