A working class, grass roots activist from Mississippi, Fannie Lou Hamer inspired the country with her fight for the right for Black people to vote. Kaliswa Brewster reads her Speech "We're On Our Way"

"Don't Stand Behind Me, Stand WITH me and VOTE"

Black history is rich with speeches, literature, and art that resists white supremacy, lifts up black people, and insists on both joy and dignity of life. Although there have been 400 years of black resistance on this continent, American revisionist history has hidden some of the most powerful black voices from us. Hosted by Steven Anthony Jones and produced by Kaliswa Brewster, Black Voices Past and Present is a weekly podcast that will bring some of the most poignant black voices straight to your ears--unfiltered, and without talking head commentary. What is it to hear black voices past and present in conversation with one another? Where do voices like Frederick Douglass and James Baldwin fit in this new and important Black Lives Matter movement? Join us each week to find out.
