Summary
In this session, we explore acts of Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory as antidotes to fast-spreading poisons of disinformation and White nationalist distortion threatening African progress and the broader society. This week marks the birthdays of George Washington Williams, Lerone Bennett Jr. and Kerry James Marshall. We are reminded by their practice and genealogies of the power of nurturing imagination through reading and writing and empowering tools of proactive learning and community building. On the eve of the “No Kings” protests, arguments in the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais voting rights case and data in Onyx Impact’s new Blackout Report reveal how disinformation works to attempt to erase truth and representation, underscoring the urgency of creating spaces that nurture those indispensable elements of better Social Structures. These practices of cultural preservation and Black institutional empowerment demand renewed vigilance, truth-telling, and narrative restoration as acts of collective defense and cultural strategy.

| 0:00.0 | this is karen hunter and welcome to in class with car this is a space where during the pandemic |
| 0:07.7 | we imagined what it would look like to teach a class online that would be for the world and it |
| 0:14.4 | started with a simple question can i press record it was a question that i asked of the people's professor |
| 0:19.9 | dr gray car At the time, |
| 0:22.0 | he was the head of Africana Studies at Howard University. He's still teaching the world. And in this |
| 0:26.8 | space, we have been going strong since 2020. And it has been amazing. So tune in to In Class |
| 0:33.8 | with Carr. And thank you for joining us. You can follow us, by the way, at |

| 0:52.8 | How the reason why you have blacks in different places is because the residential |
| 0:58.1 | patterns in the state are still reflective of where enslaved communities lived along this |
| 1:04.6 | particular river system. |
| 1:06.5 | And that residential segregation, along with disparities in political power, economic status, health |
| 1:12.7 | outcomes, all of these things are existent today because they reflect institutional choices |
| 1:19.8 | that are traceable to Jim Crow and reproduced through contemporary practices. That last part |
| 1:25.3 | is a quote from them so I appreciate that |
| 1:28.9 | you want to say when the state comes with their new map we have to look at the |
| 1:34.5 | extent to which in drawing it they have departed from from traditional principles |
| 1:40.6 | on racial grounds what I'm suggesting is what do we do with the situation in which the state keeps presenting the same map. |
| 1:48.0 | They're not departing. Their map looks fine, but because of all of these race-based effects, because of the history of Jim Crow, which I appreciate happened a long time ago, but I'm positing, |
| 2:01.6 | and Jingles allows for us to see where those effects are still occurring. |
| 2:06.6 | I hear your test not allowing us to solve for that problem when the state is continuing |
