Summary

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?

0:38.8	mineral resources that are beneath the African soil. The wealth of Africa belongs to Africans,
0:47.2	despite its history, despite the legacy of exploitation,
0:52.0	colonialism, and subjugation. Despite the ongoing
0:57.4	challenge of conflict and instability, Africa is determined and ready to regain its position as a site of human progress.
1:09.0	The era of African development has arrived.
1:15.0	Oh, okay, good, everything, good everything.

1:34.0	Well, I had to brave the highways and the byways this week.
1:39.0	Did you?
1:40.0	Yeah, and I ran right into the traffic that would be the UN Assembly and all of its dignitaries blocking up
1:46.0	traffic and shut down streets and making my commute much more lengthy than it needed to be.
1:53.2	But I was okay.
1:54.2	I was okay with it.
1:55.4	Because I got where I needed to be on time,
