  • Trey’s Table Episode 403: The Destruction of the EEOC
    🎙️ NEW EPISODE – TREY’S TABLE 🎙️

    For decades, “disparate impact” analysis has been one of the most powerful tools in the civil rights toolbox. It allowed advocates to challenge laws and policies that looked neutral but had deeply unequal effects.

    Now, that tool is being dismantled.

    In this episode of Trey’s Table, we break down:
    ⚖️ What disparate impact really means
    📜 How cases like Griggs v. Duke Power shaped civil rights law
    🏛️ What the Trump administration’s changes mean for the future
    🚨 Why this shift could open the door to policies that discriminate without ever saying so

    If intent is all that matters, what happens to communities who still feel the harm?

    Tap in. Listen. Share. This one matters.

  • Trey’s Table Episode 401: The Book of Negroes
    “During the American Revolution, thousands of enslaved Black people risked everything for a chance at freedom.
    The British promised liberty.
    They recorded their names in a ledger called The Book of Negroes.
    What followed was courage, betrayal, exile, and survival across three continents.
    This isn’t just history—it’s testimony.
    New episode now streaming.”

  • Trey’s Table Episode 396: Poor Devil
    ✨ New Episode of Trey’s Table ✨
    Today we’re exploring one of the most surprising and misunderstood chapters in the life of Sammy Davis Jr..

    In the early 1970s, Sammy briefly associated with the Church of Satan — and the real story has nothing to do with devil worship.

    This episode dives into:
    🔥 The pressure he faced as a Black entertainer in white Hollywood
    🔥 The death threats over his interracial marriage
    🔥 His humiliating disinvitation from John F. Kennedy’s inauguration
    🔥 Why he sought belonging in unexpected places
    🔥 And the TV series where he literally played a character from hell

    It’s a story about identity, acceptance, and rebellion — not Satan.
