January 17, 2020

First we talk with prolific historian Dr. Gerald Horne about the 1619 Project and a recent bizarre rebuke to the project featuring a coterie of Ivy League scholars who clearly have nothing better to do, The Wall Street Journal, and the ultra-bonkers Trotskyist World Socialist Website.

Next up, we syndicating here an older interview Andrew recorded in 2016 with the Providence-based union organizer and civil rights activist Mike Arajo where he speaks about the life of his boxer father George, a legend in New England African American sports.
