In episode 85, Ahki da G interviews Sunny Ture about his effort to correct an attempt by Professor Augustus Wood, of the University of Illinois, to replace both Francena Turner and Sunny as founders of the organization Black Students for Revolution (BSFR). Sunny details how the Student Pan-African Movement (SPAM) was founded in 2014 and later renamed to BSFR in 2015, during which Augustus Wood was not a member nor a leader of the organization. He also discusses how new members of BSFR have been misinformed of their organization's actual history. Throughout the course of the interview, Sunny corrects this history, details his experiences as a leader, and the mental health struggles he has endured in the face of abuse.
