We are joined by Devyn Springer of the Walter Rodney Foundation to discuss the 40th anniversary of the "Rodney Uprisings" where students in Jamaica took to the streets to protest the government barring radical Guyanese guerilla intellectual Walter Rodney from entering the country. We also discuss Rodney's Groundings teaching philosophy, how he sought to bridge the gap between academia and oppressed communities, Rodney's experience in Cuba and how the Cuban revolution was "Black as hell."
