We are celebrating Niecy Nash who had the best way to come out, and John Boyega is not here for Disney/Star Wars’ bullshit. In the first Korner, we dive deep into the racist history behind city’s implementing curfews, and also the history of Sundown towns. Then we how Black women were required by law to cover their hair, and how they’re STILL fighting, proving once again Black women's hair is always political. We revisit appropriation vs. appreciation when it comes to Adele's choice in celebrating a Jamaican holiday.
