Another Browncast is up. You can listen on Libsyn, Apple, Spotify, and Stitcher (and a variety of other platforms). Probably the easiest way to keep up the podcast since we don’t have a regular schedule is to subscribe to one of the links above!
You can also support the podcast as a patron. The primary benefit now is that you get the podcasts considerably earlier than everyone else. This website isn’t about shaking the cup, but I have noticed that the number of patrons plateaued a long time ago.
Woodson Shownotes:
In this episode, Razib and Mukunda speak to Robert Woodson, the founder and President of the Woodson Center along with one of the leading members of the 1776 Project. We discuss the current social and racial dialogue in the United States, the problems with the mainstream understanding of racial history and relations in the US, the great strides made during the Civil Rights, the difference between the Civil Rights movement and current movements specifically Black Lives Matter and possible solutions.
The Woodson Center focuses its energies and efforts on addressing the economic and social needs and concerns of low-income African American communities using entrepreneurship and community empowerment strategies and initiatives. The 1776 project is a “is an assembly of Scholars, Educators, and Activists who uphold our country’s authentic founding virtues and values, challenging those who assert that America is forever defined by its past failures—namely, slavery. It challenges the prevailing narrative that promotes class warfare and racial division with the constant message that all problems of low-income neighborhoods are rooted in systemic racism, which determines and limits the prospects of the poor.” Mr. Woodson is the recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and sits on the Board of the Rhodes Scholarship.
