In this powerful and defiant episode, host Ama-Robin confronts the painful contradictions of celebrating Independence Day as a Black American. Drawing inspiration from Frederick Douglass's iconic speech, "What to the Slave is Your Fourth of July?" Ama-Robin exposes the hypocrisies of a nation that celebrates freedom while denying it to millions. The episode delves into the ongoing struggles for equal protection, voting rights, and justice, highlighting the contributions and resilience of Black Americans who have fought tirelessly to shape this country.
Listeners are encouraged to take bold, fearless actions to continue the fight for true liberation, including boycotts, direct action, and community defense. Allies are also given specific steps to support Black Americans and expose the hypocrisy of Independence Day. The episode honors "The New Founders"—Black Americans who have risked their lives to push the nation towards its ideals of liberty and justice for all.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the myths of Independence Day and calls for a renewed commitment to justice and equality. Plus, participate in the "New Founders Challenge," a call to identify and celebrate individuals who should be considered "New Founders" for their inspiring fight for justice and dedication to the nation's true founding ideals.
