Almost 30 years later, El-Mekki has established two organizations and works to support, guide and retain young black male educators in the public school system.

  • S2 - Ep. 1 - Abraham Lincoln and His Notions of Race 1841-1865 (Feat. Dr. Lucas Morel, W&L University)
    In this FIRST EPISODE (extended) of the new season of Leading By History, Dr. Lucas Morel of Washington & Lee University joins us to discuss the legacy of Abraham Lincoln as "Great Emancipator" or "White Supremacist". There has been much debate over the last several decades as to what Abraham Lincoln meant for African-American people and oppressed people world-wide. Some have viewed him as a great man who gave enslaved people in the U.S. their freedom and new opportunity, while others insist that he was not much different than the other white men of his day who promoted the superiority of the white race and cared little for the lives of the enslaved. Listen closely and fully as you weigh in with your own thoughts. This show is a must listen for the students of history and political science. Welcome back!

  • Ep. 21 - History is more than just dates... Stop marginalizing it!

    In this episode of Leading by History,  Education Specialist Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul addresses the current world of education in the United States which marginalizes history/social science (the social studies) in favor of other core content areas to the harm of K-12 students. History has been given "a bad rap" because of high-stakes testing which has forced history teachers to focus on dates and names - teaching broader and not deeper. This lack of critical pedagogy has harmed a generation of students who graduate without the ability to understand context, varying perspective, cause and consequence etc. If you want to understand the importance of history and why you need to support its instruction...this is an episode you do NOT want to miss!
