Join Amanda Seales Supreme, and TJ as they tell stories of Black Joy from around the world. We discuss the FBI's targeting of Black bookstores in the 60s and 70s, revealing how simply visiting one could lead to an FBI file. We also uncover a lesser-known story from the same day Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation—the mass execution of 38 men from the Dakotah tribe over a territorial dispute involving a cow. Additionally, we explore the origins of cannabis, tracing it back to the Dogon tribe in Mali and how the Greeks acquired their supply.

Our headliner of the week, the legendary Lalah Hathaway, joins Amanda Seales for *For the Record*, reminiscing about the records that have shaped her life and offering insights into her musical journey. DJ Supreme also shares an uplifting story of Black joy, highlighting Kevin Forge, a former Burger King cook who, thanks to $500K in community donations, was able to purchase a food truck and start his own business.
