Welcome to Black History Month 2021. This year we are celebrating powerful words from our history. Each week across Black History Month you will hear a speech or some other selection of powerful and historic words performed by scholars and influencers along with their perspective on why the words are still so relevant today.

In this episode, you will hear from a few scholars from The Harvard Debate Council Diversity Project (HDCDP). College Freshman Payton and Xavier from lasts years Black Futures Month are back along with high school Freshman Naima. They perform the powerful speech "What To The Slave is the 4th of July" and then follow up the performance with a thought provoking conversation inspired by the piece that delves deep into American Holidays and our participation.  

Tune in, listen and learn.

If you have any question on HDCDP then catch them on their website or on their IG page
