Summary

Annual late summer rites of ritual combat—football season—converge this year with the four-year cycle of federal presidential election season. As the first (and only?) presidential debate looms, has the shakeup at the top of the Democratic ticket led to much appreciable change in the US Social Structure? The answer: It’s Debatable. This week, as we prepare to undertake the second iteration of our Introduction to Africana Studies Course in Knubia, we put electoral politics in the US in larger frameworks of developments in the US and global social structure. We also ask, on the cusp of Sonia Sanchez’s 90th birthday, the guiding question: “Uh huh, but how do it free us?”
