October 09, 2023 S5:E1 I Got Shoes (By Frank Goodman and Martha B. Green)
Martha and I spend a lot of time conversating and reflecting on what made us Old School. What I mean by that is that we spend a lot of time attempting to understand the history of our ancestors and how their struggles and triumphs are/were understood by those that followed up to today. I remember singing the titled song, as a little boy, without understanding the message and the amount of degradation our Africa in America ancestors were enduring. I really want to thank Martha for agreeing to join me on this topic. What are your thoughts?
