Necessary Blackness Ep. 29: Michael Imhotep Speaks About St. Louis Riots & Red Summer of 1919

St. Louis Riots and Red Summer of 1919,

 

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, Rahiem Shabazz sits down with Michael Imhotep (The African History Network). Michael Imhotep is a talk show host, researcher, lecturer and writer covering politics and pertinent issues facing Black America.

Michael Imhotep discusses African-American resistance in the era of Donald Trump, voters suppression, reparation and how elections have consequences. We also spoke with the historian, Michael Imhotep about the St. Louis Riots of 1917 and the Red Summer of 1919.

Marcus Garvey spoke out in anger against the lynching and beatings Blacks suffered at the hands of Whites. “This is a crime against the laws of humanity; it is a crime against the laws of the nation, it is a crime against Nature, and a crime against the God of all mankind.” He also believed that the entire riot was part of a larger conspiracy against African Americans who migrated North in search of a better life: “The whole thing, my friends, is a bloody farce, and that the police and soldiers did nothing to stem the murder thirst of the mob is a conspiracy on the part of the civil authorities to condone the acts of the white mob against Negroes.”

Elementary Genocide 3: Academic Holocaust 1st Look Trailer

 

Elementary Genocide 3: Academic Holocaust is the latest installment in the award winning documentary series. We seek to explore how the “Murder In The Streets, Same As Intellectual Murder In The Classroom”. The documentary features notables such as Prof. James Small, Kaba Keme, David Banner, Shahrazad Ali, Michael Imhotep and many more.

 

 

 

The Elementary Genocide documentary series did exceptionally well and made it to Amazon’s top 10 list of documentaries for 4 consecutive weeks in the U.S. & U.K. We anticipate the last installment will exceed our expectations.

We have over 50 hours of footage. We almost done with a 65-minute rough draft. We still need to film a few selective scenes that will add emotional intensity. We also need to pay for archival footage, audio enhancement and color correction.

Post production, any filmmaker will tell you, is even more expensive than actual production. The funds we raise from this campaign will go directly to the basic enhancements we need so that we can screen in front of an audience & get the film out there for distribution.
