In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, we talk about White South Africans relinquishing the land to its rightful owners without any compensation and why an important move such as this signifies the dawn of a new day in terms of freedom for Black Africans.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, “it’s our enemies desire to keep pour eyes in the sky and to control the land under our feet”.

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast host Rahiem Shabazz interviews Thomas “TJ” Loftin (Wealth Coach and Speaker) during his stop in Atlanta for the “Monetizing Gentrification” tour.  TJ discusses creative financing and interest-based negotiation skills as well as why its important to preserve wealth in your business and community.

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, we celebrate the work and legacy of Marcus Garvey. We explore the longstanding disagreement in ideologies of Marcus Garvey the Pan-Afrikanist vs A. Phillip Randolph the Socialist.

W. E. B. Du Bois, and A. Philip Randolph and several other leaders were quite critical of Garvey, whose objectives they found unrealistic, ridiculous, and full of pageantry. They believed he was a fraud and organized the “Garvey Must Go” campaign. However, Marcus Garvey rise to prominence and organizational skills is what made these two men jealous. Garvey was the only leader to lead the biggest movement in Black America’s history.

Garvey was not one to take any attack lightly, he called W.E.B. Dubois, a “lazy, dependent mulatto” and his criticism of A. Philip Randolph was not kinder.
