S E1183: In Class with Carr, Ep. 184: Terror, Trauma, Trajectory, 60th Anniversary of the Birmingham Six

The world that Norman Lear curated, including the black world, and the way that black cultural meaning makers like Esther Rolle and John Amos pushed back against him, are a lens for examining the difference between social structures and governance formations in Africana. And after those shows, the genealogy that Norman Lear tapped into, in part to continue an ongoing project of mingling his ethnicity with a fictional American identity, with the framing of Black people as the diminished citizenry, goes a long way toward helping us understand the contempt and pity with which others view us, and with which we so maddeningly and too often view ourselves.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What good is it to know a thing, if that knowledge doesn’t translate into changing more than our individual condition for the better?

Continuing to process this Israel-Palestine War, Dr. Greg Carr spends time thinking the lens through which we should view it. This is the season of HBCU homecomings. We spend a lot of time making imaginary homes. We know about having to make home wherever we are. Where is home?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It is Indigenous People’s Day weekend and Amiri Baraka’s birthday. Dr. Carr and Karen discuss self determination.It’s in the Social Structure’s narrative silences that we are able to form our own structures and grow. How do we nurture self-determination and self-sufficiency when the “Master Narrative” enforces silences about those subjects except when we are used as footnotes in its memory and vision? We are showing that we can and do convene in the seams of the Social Structure and in those seams—those silences—we find each other and build. JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This was a question posed this week at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center Second Annual International Black Writers Festival at Howard University. Dr. Carr and Karen wrestle with the question and deliver some poignant responses. There is also a tribute to Hollis Watkins, who made transition last week as well as a look at the life and work of Hattie McDaniel. #OscarsSoWhite. #ICWCJOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s the 161st anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation today. Here we are “freer” than ever in the United States and more detached from collective liberation work than ever. Meanwhile, Social Structure convulsions are surging once again (Murdoch’s Fox teetering, mock book burnings in Missouri, Blum now suing West Point over Affirmative Action, etc.). U.S. Feds announce HBCUs owed at least $16 billion (just over the last 30 years) and white nationalist governors are like, “Whatever!” And outside the U.S., other people and countries are moving more and more independently. Who determines our emancipation? What does it look like? How do we assess progress?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSummarySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
