This presentation examines the interstices of mysticism, mothering/hospitality and community organizing in the lives of women of African descent in Brazil and the United States – a confluence about which there is little extant scholarship. Using an analytical framework that incorporates history of religions of the Afro-Atlantic diaspora, ethnographic and historical studies of contemporary social justice movements, oral histories, and womanist ethics, my work explores the moral and mystic universe of contemporary Afro-Brazilian and African American women activists.

A collaboration between Africana Studies and the Brazil Initiative, with the generous co-sponsorship of the Watson Institute, the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice, the Center for Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, and Religious Studies.

In this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh sit down Grammy Award-winning rapper, musician, producer, actor, and activist -- Wyclef Jean. This thorough interview covers Clef's ambitious career, which has influenced and inspired so many and pushed the multi-cultural boundaries of hip-hop.

The discussion starts off with Wyclef's move from his native Haiti to the US at age nine, landing in Brooklyn. He talks about finding his calling to hip-hop through battle rapping in the park as a youngster. Clef goes on to speak on the importance of Pras and John Forté to the Fugees and how pivotal they both were to the group's success. He also speaks on what it was like growing up a preacher's son and talks about how being raised in Haiti, Brooklyn (NY), and Newark (NJ) all influenced him in different ways. They also discuss lessons learned from the Haitian Revolution, Clef's encounter with police brutality, being determined to change the anti-Haitian attitudes through his success, and uniting Haitians and Jamaicans.

After digging deep on his heritage, the interview circles back to music, and Clef is asked about how he was influenced by underground hip-hop and whether he sensed that the album 'The Score' would become a masterpiece. He discusses the genius of producer Salaam Remi and his contributions, reflects on the Fugees breakup, and shares the advice he would give his younger self if he could do it all over. Clef also speaks to how much reggae has influenced his style of hip-hop and performances and tells us who he feels would be the best possible fit for him in a Verzuz battle.

Later, Talib notes Clef's success in remaking iconic songs of the past from any genre he chooses and turning them into modern-day hip-hop classics, explaining how he's always been on a quest for musical fusion. He also talks about seeing the enormous potential of Destiny's Child when he worked with them on their debut album, and how Beyonce was clearly destined for greatness. Clef goes on to talk about working with Whitney Houston, speaks on his experience attempting to run for president of Haiti, lays out lessons learned there, and also gets into the collapse of his Yéle Haiti charity and being accused of stealing from the $16 million raised. Clef then talks about working with Young Thug, lessons learned from his idol Quincy Jones, how he balances his Haitian gangster affiliations with stardom, talks about his music company dedicated to seeking out and signing talent in third-world countries, and offers his take on the future of musical fusion.

President Joe Biden says he needs more information about the assassination of the Haitian President but it is "worrisome."

Gunmen assassinated Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and wounded his wife in their home early Wednesday, inflicting more chaos on the unstable Caribbean country that was already enduring an escalation of gang violence, anti-government protests and a recent surge in coronavirus infections.

Claude Joseph, the interim prime minister, confirmed the killing and said the police and military were in control of security in Haiti, where a history of dictatorship and political upheaval have long stymied the consolidation of democratic rule.

On March 31, 2021, Edward Onaci presented “Liberating the Territory: Activism, Repression, and the Republic of New Afrika” as part of the History Is Lunch series.

On March 31, 1968, more than five hundred Black nationalists—including Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party director Lawrence Guyot—convened in Detroit. Many concluded that Black Americans' best hope for liberation was the creation of a sovereign nation-state, the Republic of New Afrika, which would be created from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

“This decision to ‘free the land’ indicted the United States as unredeemable and uninhabitable for descendants of the country’s enslaved,” said Onaci, author of Free the Land: The Republic of New Afrika and the Pursuit of a Black Nation-State.

New Afrikan citizens demanded reparations for the enslavement and subsequent inhumane treatment of Black Americans. The group framed their struggle as one that would allow the descendants of enslaved people to choose freely whether they should be citizens of the United States.

“New Afrikans remade their lifestyles and daily activities to create a self-consciously revolutionary culture,” Onaci said. “The RNA's tactics and ideology were essential to the evolution of Black political struggles.”

Edward Onaci is an associate professor of history and African American and Africana Studies at Ursinus College. He earned his BA in history from Virginia State University and his MA and PhD in history from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Onaci’s book Free the Land: The Republic of New Afrika and the Pursuit of a Black Nation-State was published by UNC Press in 2020.

History Is Lunch is sponsored by the John and Lucy Shackelford Charitable Fund of the Community Foundation for Mississippi. The weekly lecture series of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History explores different aspects of the state's past. The hour-long programs are held in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Museum of Mississippi History and Mississippi Civil Rights Museum building in Jackson. MDAH livestreams videos of the program at noon on Wednesdays on their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/MDAHOfficial/.

https://democracynow.org - We end today’s show with undocumented activist Maru Mora Villalpando. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed her in deportation proceedings, in a move she calls retaliation for her political activism. Maru is a nationally known immigrant rights activist who leads the organization, Northwest Detention Center Resistance. She has engaged in multiple acts of civil disobedience to protest deportations and immigrant detentions. She says, only days before Christmas, she received a “Notice to Appear.” She writes, “With the letter delivered to my house, ICE has officially made the leap from a law enforcement agency to a political repression agency, crossing a line that should concern us all.” Maru has lived in the U.S. for more than 25 years.

Together we'll into the ubiquity of White supremacy as a core tenet of Euro- and Americano-centric political & educational rhetoric around language. Upon acknowledgement of these colonial realities, we'll look into alternative paradigms that center language at the intersection of race, culture, and self-identity where global media activism & transracial allyship serve to establish anti-colonial resistance through powerfully unsettling creativity & transdisciplinary intelligence.

By the end of this talk, we will empowered to know: 1) how to use language to activate advocacy over privilege; 2) use language activistically to establish anti-colonial radical resistance; 3) become mini language intrapreneurial activists. Learn to be power through creatively disruptive activism and be accountable to the standard of social justice anti-racism impresses upon us to reestablish. Today.

Dr. Brandon R. Byrd is a historian of nineteenth and twentieth century Black intellectual and social history, with a special focus on Black internationalism. His book, The Black Republic: African Americans and the Fate of Haiti, recovers a crucial and overlooked chapter of Black internationalism and political thought by exploring the ambivalent attitudes that Black intellectuals in the post-Civil War era held toward Haiti. Dr. Byrd’s scholarship has appeared in journals such as The Journal of African American History, The Journal of Civil War Era, Slavery and Abolition, and The Journal of Haitian Studies, and in popular outlets, including The Washington Post. Support for his research has come from numerous institutions and organizations including Vanderbilt University, Marquette University, the American Philosophical Society, and the W.E.B. Du Bois Library at UMass-Amherst, the Marcus Garvey Foundation, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. In addition to his research and teaching, Dr. Byrd is a co-editor of the Black Lives and Liberation series published by Vanderbilt University Press.

Dr. Leslie Alexander is Associate Professor in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies and the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. Her research focuses on late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Black culture, political consciousness, and resistance movements. Her first book is African or American?:Black Identity and Political Activism in New York City, 1784-1861, and her forthcoming book is Fear of a Black Republic: African Americans, Haiti, and the Birth of Black Internationalism.

Dr. Jean Eddy Saint Paul earned a PhD in Sociology at El Colegio de México. His ample publishing history includes books, articles, and contributions dealing with civil society, political sociology of the Haitian state and ruling class; the intersection between politics and religion. His works have been published in international academic and commercial publishers. As a former member of the National system of research in Mexico, and 'visiting professor' at the select Paris institute of political studies, commonly called Sciences Po., he made substantial contributions to the advancement of Haitian studies. Most of Saint Paul's scholarly work oscillates geographically between Latin America and the Caribbean. Previously, he was a tenured professor of sociology and politics at the University of Guanajuato, in Mexico, where he co-founded the Ph.D. Program in Law, Politics & Government, the Master Program in Political Analysis, & the B.A. Program in Political Science.

Dr. Grégory Pierrot is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of Connecticut at Stamford.

Dr. Chelsea Stieber is Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies at Catholic University of America. She is the author of Haiti’s Paper War: Post-independence Writing, Civil War, and the Making of the Republic, 1804–1954 (New York University Press, 2020). The book, which was made possible in part by a Kluge Fellowship at the Library of Congress, explores Haiti's post-independence sovereignty and challenges our interpretations of both freedom struggles and the postcolonial. She is also co-editor, with Brandon Byrd, of the forthcoming critical translation of Louis Joseph Janvier’s Haiti for the Haitians (which will be coming out with Liverpool University Press). She is currently working on a new project on Caribbean Fascism, for which she was awarded an ACLS fellowship for the academic year 2020–2021.

Pandemic History, Pandemic Future: AIDS, activism and today's agenda for global equity and public health -- a book talk and discussion with Emily Bass, author of 'To End a Plague: America's Fight to Defeat AIDS in Africa" and panelists Joia Mukherjee, MD, MPH and Maureen Luba.

Emily Bass, the author of the first comprehensive history of America's investment in fighting global AIDS, will read from her book and then join MMSc-GHD Program Director Dr. Joia Mukherjee and Maureen Luba in a discussion about what transnational AIDS activism accomplished, what remains undone, and what lessons can be applied to the present Covid-19 and "pandemic preparedness" agendas. Touching on legislative histories, activist intervention, "recipient country" agency in developing and implementing successful programs, and the crucial role of civil society in global governance, this event will search the historical record for the roadmap for a more just, equitable future.

Prof. Christopher Tinson is the 2018 winner of the inaugural Pauli Murray Book Prize from the African American Intellectual History Society for his latest publication, "Radical Intellect: Liberator Magazine and Black Activism in the 1960's."
Book description: The rise of black radicalism in the 1960s was a result of both the successes and the failures of the civil rights movement. The movement's victories were inspirational, but its failures to bring about structural political and economic change pushed many to look elsewhere for new strategies. During this era of intellectual ferment, the writers, editors, and activists behind the monthly magazine Liberator (1960–71) were essential contributors to the debate. In the first full-length history of the organization that produced the magazine, Christopher M. Tinson locates the Liberator as a touchstone of U.S.-based black radical thought and organizing in the 1960s. Combining radical journalism with on-the-ground activism, the magazine was dedicated to the dissemination of a range of cultural criticism aimed at spurring political activism, and became the publishing home to many notable radical intellectual-activists of the period, such as Larry Neal, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Harold Cruse, and Askia Toure.
By mapping the history and intellectual trajectory of the Liberator and its thinkers, Tinson traces black intellectual history beyond black power and black nationalism into an internationalism that would shape radical thought for decades to come.

When Bart Loeser came out to his parents as gay, their response was lukewarm and the subject are rarely broached again. When he came out about his HIV diagnosis about a year later, however, the reaction was different - they cared about his health of course, but they also started to see the impact that the growing AIDS crisis was having on his community. Their own proximity to the LGBTQIA+ community inspired them to lean into activism, getting involved in their local PFLAG chapter and eventually overcoming health issues to read the names on the AIDS Memorial Quilt at the 1992 March on Washington.
