Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie shares oral histories from Harlem residents about Father Divine. Every Sunday during the Great Depression the controversial New York-based evangelist Father Divine (aka the Reverend General Jealous Divine and aka George Baker) fed starving interracial groups by the hundreds for free in Harlem, while many other black preachers ignored their flocks’ hunger pains. Most African-American urban clergy avoided sermons that addressed racism, poverty, and the social conditions of blacks in America. Instead, their sermons focused on the need for spiritual conversion and life after death. Father Divine talked about conversion, but he also denounced racism and the inability of a country blessed with material abundance to feed its citizens.

Dr. Opie talks about Food Rebels who he calls people who went against the grain and led or participated in movements in the US that championed ending food insecurity and eating nutrient-rich food. These entrepreneurs, organizers, educators, and nationalists, among other positions were leaders in the long struggle for independence, health, and the struggle against the US caste system. These food rebels have not had their contributions celebrated proportionate to their impact on society; this episode about Dr. Alvenia M. Fulton, a pioneer in the holistic health movement which championed whole grains, unprocessed foods, juicing, and vegetarianism aims to change that.

These food rebels have not had their contributions celebrated proportionate to their impact on society; this episode about Marcus Garvey(1887-1940)and his five-year plan for Black economic independence aims to change that. Part of Garvey's plan called for establishing farms for growing fruits, vegetables and dairy products, a food canning operation, and a chain of grocery stores, and restaurants.

Reboot of an interview my son Kennedy interviewing me about what's it like to be an African American man in the United States when he was 16 (he is 20 now). The conversation covered topics such as depression, what it was like being one of the only black lacrosse players throughout his father’s playing career in high school, college, and a member of a US national team. This is a deep and personal dive into Race, Masculinity, and Mental Health.
