We’re gonna get introduced to a podcast series on the National Black Political Convention of 1972, and make the case for this neglected historical moment as a turning point in Black American social and political history that we must understand, in-depth, to re-invigorate the Black American Freedom Struggle and bring Black American life out of the malaise and hollow symbolism that as held us hostage for half a century since this project was defeated.
