In part 2, host @drstew is back, this time with Lester Jay providing perspective on Birth of the Blues and expansion of Jazz music and culture. A dash of live historical content provides clarity to the discussion.
Redlining is one of the myriad ways blacks experienced discrimination in the housing market. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Great Migration in Chicago, where hundreds of thousands of Black Americans left the South for better opportunities. When they arrived, they were confined to the Black Belt on the South Side. Even as overcrowded conditions cramped black families, a host of real estate policies prevented them from moving to white areas.
African Americans have made significant contributions to the art of music in many genres. A little bit of history and a special guest, Mausiki Scales of the Common Ground Collective imparts unique and informative perspective on the true beginnings of our music.
A subset within Black History Lessons, The Great Debate is a mini-series of episodes where our host @drstew provides her opinion on big topics of discussion in the world. Despite the name, there are no guest speakers. This week, she talks about reparations as the HR 40 bill was just reintroduced in the House of Representatives.
In school, many of us were not taught about our own history, let alone taught that Black Chefs are the true backbone to American cuisine. From the myth of the "happy servant" of Aunt Jemima to broader marketing of black servitude, many of our ancestors transitioned their skills out of enslavement and into careers in the food industry. Our host, DrStew, is joined by Chef Rellz and Chef Flu to speak on the beginnings of their own culinary journey and how they take pride in the achievements of countless brilliant cooks who nourished a nation.
