May 11, 2022 Black Anarchism: A Conversation with Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin
I had the absolute privilege of interviewing had the absolute privilege of interviewing Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin on the rerelease of his seminal book ‘Anarchism and the Black Revolution’ by Pluto Press. In this interview, we discuss the misrepresentation of anarchism, the importance of grassroots organisation and the challenges of maintaining optimism in struggle.

Lorenzo is an encyclopaedia of our recent struggles. The 1 hour and 44 minutes spent with him will forever influence my criticism of the institutions and omnipresent forces of power around us - for article I urge everyone to go and buy his book. He imparts much wisdom and urges us to think more critically of the conditions we find (or have created) for ourselves.

February 27, 2021 Claudette Colvin: An Interview with the Civil Rights pioneer who helped end bus segregation in 1955
In this extra special interview, I am joined Civil Rights pioneer Claudette Colvin. In this extended interview, Miss Colvin discusses growing up in a segregated America, how her bus defiance helped sparked the Montgomery buss boycotts, and her love of rock and roll music. (Apologies for the minor audio glitches which appear towards the end)
Context: Claudette Colvin is an American hero who made history on March 2nd 1955, at the young age of 15, after refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus. Her courageous act, taking place nine months before Rosa Parks' case, helped spark the Montgomery buss boycotts.
In the aftermath, Colvin and four other plaintiffs challenged bus segregation in the famous Browder v. Gayle case which was taken to the supreme court and resulted in an end to bus segregation in the state of Alabama.
