Black Political Thought – w/ Minkah Makalani

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Black political ideologies in the early 20th century evolved against a backdrop of derogatory stereotypes and racial terrorism. Starting with Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Agency, historian Minkah Makalani contextualizes an era of Black intellectualism. From common goals of racial unity to fierce debates over methods, he shows how movements of the 1920s and 1930s fed into what became the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement.</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Educators! <a href= "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfuXWiVuj9_vNR0EBRXwfBlIJ7CpYwiwNTtDtrQWDxZB9nrdw/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1748617993=14:+Black+Political+Thought" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get a professional development certificate</a> for listening to this episode—issued by Learning for Justice.
