Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. They tell stories about some of the greatest family dynasties in history, from the Murdochs to the Royals to the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that is).

The civil rights movement is decorated with well-known names, but one that isn’t heard and known enough is Gloria Richardson’s. As a pioneer of the civil rights movement in Cambridge, Maryland and leader of the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee (CNAC), Richardson was a force and unapologetically fought for human rights in the Black freedom struggle. Gloria Richardson passed away on July 15, 2021 and I’m grateful for her incredible legacy. There is a famous picture of her pushing a bayonet, held by a National Guardsman, out of her way as she protests in Cambridge. Her “who do you think you are??” face says it all and it’s one of my favorite photos! In this episode, I provide some historical context about Cambridge, Maryland in the 19th and 20th centuries, and discuss Gloria Richardson, CNAC, connections to other civil rights groups, and the contribution to the larger civil rights narrative.

Understanding systemic racism also requires knowledge about the weaponization of whiteness and how it continuously functions.

Kina Reed is a DEI consultant and facilitator, researcher, learning strategist, community advocate, and someone who is committed to moving us all closer to the goal line of shared humanity.

Juneteenth is now a federal holiday and, well, I have many thoughts that of course dive into history's context. The U.S. has continuously had an idea of progress that aligns with the same racist system that is at the core of its foundation. This holiday is coming at a time when people are arguing against Critical Race Theory, there is more legislation that needs to be passed for Black lives (like the anti-lynching bill, legislation that would protect Black voters, etc.), reparations are still being argued against, and more.

Tasha is also the author of What Children Remember ( which she discusses in this episode) and the host of her podcast When We Speak.

She is also co-host of the Upside Down Podcast and is heavily involved with Be the Bridge. Righteous anger, centering Blackness, what progress really means, and the weaponization of spirituality are just a few things we talk about.

When you think about the civil rights movement and angry white responses, there are probably certain images that come to mind. In this episode I will be going through a brief history of white backlash against Black progress, starting with the Reconstruction era. Last week, the Derek Chauvin trial verdict was read and though there were many Black people who were relieved (and many of us who had mixed emotions), there were even more people who were enraged about Chauvin being convicted because he is "one of their own."

Dismantling the racist and oppressive systems that uphold white supremacy and cause direct harm to Black and brown people are priorities for Frederick, and this is evident in the incredible work he does. In this episode we discuss these systemic issues, patriarchy, cultivating healing in the Black community, accountability, and much more. "Black people, we are legitimately a miracle.

It’s easy to think sharing videos of Black people as victims of police brutality is helpful. It’s not. These videos are traumatizing. Ask yourself why you think a video is necessary instead of simply believing Black people when we say this brutality happens because of racism and white supremacy?

"I didn't care what happened to me. I was going to be free or continue to be a part of a struggle to fight for the freedom of people of this country." June Johnson was a Black civil rights organizer in Greenwood, Mississippi with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and when she was 16 years old, she was arrested and endured horrific treatment in a jail in Montgomery County, Mississippi. June's name is one that gets overshadowed when discussions about the civil rights movement occur, but she was critical in Mississippi's Freedom Movement.
