Lester is back. He has a word (or 500) for BLM and his recent appearance on the Heidelcast. Lester than tells you about a wild, wild year in American history - police shootings, riots, looting, suspension of civil liberties, and Russian conspiracy theories - yes, he talks about 1946. 

Lester makes a housekeeping announcement and loses track of the name of his show and the number of announcements he has to make.  

A lot of miscounting going on lately.  . .  

Lester concedes nothing in this short episode for all you short tempered listeners. He tells you why he could not, will not, ever vote for Joe Biden (or anyone like him). He also makes a (few) shameless (shameful?) plugs for his essay -  "It's only two dollars and ninety-nine cent!"  Lester also questions if it is really true that only 20% of black men voted for President Trump and reveals where the biggest wealth gap lies in America [hint: it's to between whites and blacks]. 

This episode of the Black History Fashion Show covers two titans of black freedom - Richard Allen and Absalom Jones. Two men who demonstrated who demonstrated character, wisdom, and leadership that resounds to this day. Lester covers the origins of the black church and black mutual aid societies. Lester also recalls a time when he was not popular on campus. Was Lester the first ever victim of cancellation? Find out on this episode of the Black History Fashion Show. 

Lester takes a break from the weightier events in Black history to  catechize you into the what the Hoop Elders know - namely who are the best 5 players in recent NBA history. Lester, being Lester, also takes a minute (or 10) to take some shots at a pop and sports icon. Caution for those NBA fans under 35: you might need to listen at 1/2 speed so you can fully intake the wisdom on offer in this episode. Not an NBA fan? That's okay. You'll learn everything you need to know so you don't ever have to worry about the NBA again. It's the Black History Fashion Show, y'all, it always something for everyone. 

19th Century civil rights giant, Martin Delany, was a publisher, doctor, educator, Army Major and as radical as they came in the 1800s. We discuss him and his place in the civil rights cannon on this episode. We also define the historical characteristics of black leaders and institutions and demonstrate how BLM is not a black civil rights organization (for those of you still under the delusion it is). While you wait for a black elected official or member of the black elite to stand up against the mob and to speak up for the real concerns of black America tune in here. 

The Black History Fashion Show gets practical this week. Listeners asked "What can I do?" Lester responds and - not surprisingly - makes a pitch for learning more black history. We also cover the damage done by a Statesboro, Georgia mob. 

It's Riot Season, Y'all! We go from the Exodus of 1879 to Lester driving a U-Haul through the Rodney King riots to the secret foundation of Black Power. Your headphones are going be smokin' after this one.
