What if Black communities had been given the space — and the land — to build thriving cities across America?

In this episode of Black Studies Snacks, De’Von Truvel dives into the visionary work of Edwin McCabe, an ambitious lawyer, land agent, and politician who dreamed of creating an all-Black state in what is now Oklahoma. Discover how McCabe’s efforts to build Black “booster towns” like Langston shaped the landscape of Black autonomy and inspired future economic movements like Tulsa’s Black Wall Street.

We explore:

• What are Black booster towns?
• The story of Edwin McCabe and the founding of Langston, Oklahoma
• How land, politics, and economic power intersected in early Black communities
• Why McCabe’s vision still matters for Black futures today

🎧 Whether you're a student of Black history, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a community builder, this bite-sized lesson packs a powerful punch.
