Generally, theories shape a research question, guide the selection of relevant data, interpret the data, and provide explanations of observed effects.

You may have heard of Project 1619 by Nikole Hanna - Jones, New York Times Magazine, and The Critical Race Theory Book. Both books used 1619 events in our history as a guide to creating their theory.

My take here is why look at what happened 400 years ago? Why not take a look at the most recent past, this means what had happened 15 or 70 years ago? I do not tell you to ignore the past here, but the most recent past is where our focus should be.

My example of this is the denied access to cable television 40 years ago. This was written in my book "What Did You Think was Going to Happened? The Betrayal of South Central" This has an impact on the present situation of the Black Community in South Central L.A. When you tune in to our episode today you will learn more about the story. I encourage you to listen from start to the very end and let me know your thoughts in the comment section or comment on our social media post related to today's episode.
