As a middle-aged, Black feminist, educator, activist who has been in movement spaces since high school, this conversation is sooo important and way too infrequent. Thank you! Please keep 'em coming🙂
We definitely need to reignite the community component of our culture.
Man, this is unbelievable. They are really afraid of our brilliance. We have to figure out the terminology to draw more black people in. Thank you, Amanda.
Two intelligent sisters just educating the community. Thanks I appreciate this interview...I have so much respect for both of you.
Amanda thank you for all you do. We ❤️ and support you very much. Stay strong and well. These are tough times. Thank you for being a wonderful, compassionate and intelligent human being. Keep doing your thing. 🙌🏼

Remember when a Black Women turned a red state blue. W S be shaking in their Boots.
I love when you have experts in their fields on the show! It’s a fun and relatable space to learn from them and you!
27:37 - 28:48 So looking forward to Sherrilyn Ifill’s up and coming book. Thank you for all of this interview and inspiration to subscribe to the Amandaverse to get fully oriented with sound historical markers.
I was just discussing the fact that despair isn't an option with a friend.
wow cant wait for part 2, thank you!
Much Love ❤❤❤
You've lit a fire; thank you!
As a Black Georgian who moved back to my state in 2020 and voted in the 2020 presidential elections and the various run offs, we were out there in them long ass lines every single time. When GA turned blue, it was clear the GOP in our state were SHOOK. Not even a month after national attention turned away from GA, they got to work. Voter suppression and disenfranchisement happens in the "off-season." That's why I get so annoyed when some people say "vote" but fail to acknowledge the voter suppression and disenfranchisement that happens between elections. Also because of the pandemic, more states did the mail in ballot option and we saw across the country big voter turnout numbers as a result. You can't tell me that wasn't one of the reasons there was a push for all of us to go back to work. We had too much time on our hands to do our civic duty vs be on the hamster wheel of work, work, work, with very little time to ourselves.
❤ such a great conversation!!
I’m studying this right now in history and WWII double V ideas is how Medgar Evers entered the civil rights movement as a vet.
Amanda your show is awesome!

So much truth to money & conformity being a facet of success; especially in corporate America.

Thank you for sharing. I had no idea, definitely going to look into this!!
The state of black civil rights in this country are painfully stifled. Through the Judicial process, through medical access, through suitable housing and education. Not very Much has changed. It has just been dressed up to look a little better but the systemic racism is very much still alive. Prime example, the violation of the constitutional right to a district court judge. I could share some stories, including how I’ve litigated a federal lawsuit pro se for nearly a decade.

The family court system! I’m learning it’s a misogynistic system. So imagine adding being black in an oppressive court system. 🤦🏽♀️
Political rights are civil rights
Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness Citizenship: witness in court, enter contracts, build, lease, voting, jury service, POLITICAL RIGHTS, access to first class lifestyle (capitalism, consumerism) Civil Rights_ nothing should prevent a citizen from accessing resources, dignity and respect in order to achieve “success” Individualistic success vs Community success Individual success stories need to turn around and open the door for others to follow. Individual success should lead to build community success. Individual success is temporary. Use individual success to Pay it forward. Edward Bloom _ devoted life to reverse civil rights achievements (e.g., in 2013 voters rights act struck down, eliminate diversity and inclusion efforts)
A shift happening in the 40s; post Marcus Garvey, makes sense.
Thank you for this discussion, but I must highlight one aspect which I found problematic in part 2 of this discussion, which is on the audio podcast version. Prof Ifill focuses too much on criticizing voters and individuals when she knows that it is the systems, policies and laws that should be criticized. Let me share a personal experience in the hope that Amanda Seales and her team will read this and incorporate stories like this in their coverage of elections and provide a space for US voters to not be hard on themselves. My engineer brother with zero debt, for at least 10 years through 2023, had to work 80 hours a week to afford to live in a 2BR New York City apartment with his wife and 2 children. Until recently, New York made it harder than other Democratic states to register to vote, didn’t have early voting and made it difficult to vote by mail. My brother has voted in New York for years by getting to the poll at 5 am so that he could get to his first full-time job on time after casting his vote. A typical Democratic politician would rightly praise my brother for his commitment to voting, but also wrongly use him to shame other voters who couldn’t push themselves the way my brother does. The system that requires my brother to live this stressful life is unfair, unsustainable and isn’t in the long-term interest of a country that needs healthy families to thrive. People in the USA are overworked and underpaid in a system with politicians paid by rich donors to keep us uninformed, fearful and in debt. No rich democracy treats its citizens as badly as the USA treats its citizens (other rich democracies come closer to USA standards for their citizens who are of African or non-Christian descent,but they still have tax-funded universal healthcare and university education!). When those rich democratic countries’ governments try to adopt USA policies (like taking away worker rights), the citizens take to the streets in protest because they don’t want the USA’s lifestyle of working to death to make the wealthiest 1% richer. Please ask your guests to 1. provide resources that make it easy for voters to be informed 2. identify what policies and laws Democrats implemented to make people’s lives better (example: who is being helped by education loan forgiveness) 3. list major fixes that are necessary for our system of government to better serve people; here are some but of course there are so many more a. change Election Day to Election Weekend,have nationwide early voting and easy mail in voting b.tax the richest 1% and corporations and reduce the USA’s war budget to fund public, universal pre K through university education and to fund universal healthcare c.take the for-profit private sector out of elections, wars, healthcare, infrastructure and prisons d.eliminate the slavery-era Electoral College and take out the pro-slavery language in the 13th amendment of the US Constitution e. build affordable, environment-friendly housing and public transportation f. restore the fairness doctrine in media, including the internet g. clean and protect air and water h.expand the size of the Supreme Court i. heavily restrict civilian gun ownership, ban civilian ownership of assault weapons and prosecute negligent weapons manufacturers j. stop interfering with violence in democratic processes around the world, including to get short-lived corporate profits
Respectfully, I would like to see examples of that in the present day.

then get to googling. You are not a court of law and your ignorance can be cured independent of our efforts.
in the words of DR CLAUD ANDERSON" who is CIVIL" 🤣🤣
As long as the pile of disenfranchisment remains beneath you, you can be shoved back down into it.
