Summary
If someone showed up with a time machine and said your Black ass has to go back to another time in American history, when would you go back to? Most of us would say no, I’m not going anywhere. But some of us might say the 1960s would be cool. But is there a reason to want to go back even further? To go back to the 1700s or the 1600s? This week we discuss Black time travel. Democracyish.
