On today's episode we are discussing a lesser known topic concerning the presidency of John F Kennedy: his health. No, not his assassination in Dallas But rather the laundry list of lifelong illnesses that he dealt with. He knocked on death's door several times before that fateful day in 1963.

It begs the question, how long would Kennedy have even lived had he not been assassinated?

In this episode of the Redacted History Podcast we take a deep dive into the history and importance of Unions in the United States of America. What is a Union? What do Americans think? What does our government think? How are worker's rights being protected?

I sat down with Rashaad Pritchett, a housekeeping aide at Kaiser Richmond in Richmond, California. Rashaad is also a member of SEIU-UHW, a healthcare union comprised of over 120,000 workers who led the largest healthcare workers strike in United States history in October 2023. We discussed his involvement with his union and how it changed his life and how that led to him being on the front lines of a strike that placed immense pressure on the state of California and set precedent for workers nationwide.

On this episode of the Redacted Podcast, we take a very quick look into the history of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement or "ICE". The organization is only 20 years old but the average American citizen would probably think that they have been around forever.

For this installment of the Redacted History Podcast, I had an enlightening and vulnerable conversation with Dorian Warren, the Co President of Community Change and Community Change Action. In this episode we discuss what life has been like for Dorian, a Black father living in Washington DC during a second Trump administration and the current military occupation of DC. We discuss how Trump wants to not only takeover DC but move to other progressive cities like Chicago, Dorian's hometown. Finally we talked about what folks who want to take action can plan to do over the next 3.5 years .

 Community Change is a nonprofit organization founded in 1968 at the height of the civil rights movement by leaders of the civil rights and anti poverty movements. They fight for economic freedom, a care economy that allows families. Providers, and communities to access care, and an immigrant inclusive multiracial democracy. They believe that unless we can find a path toward an immigrant-inclusive multiracial democracy, the number of Americans excluded from basic social and economic protections will continue to increase, and conflicts over rights and resources will tear us apart.

About Dorian Warren: Dorian Warren is co-President of  Community Change and Community Change Action. A progressive scholar, organizer and veteran media personality, Dorian has worked to advance racial, economic and social justice for more than two decades.

Growing up on Chicago’s South Side, Dorian learned firsthand the power of unions to unleash economic opportunities. His great-grandparents were sharecroppers, his grandparents were janitors and his mother was a teacher in Chicago’s public schools for more than 40 years.
