Listen Later

theGrio Daily's Michael Harriot hosts a discussion on "Red Flags,"  the companion podcast for theGrio Black Podcast Network's, "Harlem and Moscow."  "Harlem and Moscow" is an audio drama based on the true story of the Harlem Renaissance in the Soviet Union.   
In this episode of Harlem and Moscow: Red Flags, host Michael Harriot is talking to experts about the conditions in America circa the 1930s that made the Soviet Union and Communism very appealing to Black folks in the states. We learn more about the African Blood Brotherhood, the CPUSA, and other communist movements led by Black Americans. The experts dispel myths about Black Americans’ relationship to communism and dive into the history of Black workers' movements in the South. Plus we learn about the real origins of the phrase “Stay Woke,” and much more! Michael is joined by historian and author of the book “Hammer and Hoe,” Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley as well as the playwright of “Harlem and Moscow” Alle Mims.
