Necessary Blackness Ep. 48 Marcus Garvey vs A. Philip Randolph

 

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, we celebrate the work and legacy of Marcus Garvey. We explore the longstanding disagreement in ideologies of Marcus Garvey the Pan-Afrikanist vs A. Phillip Randolph the Socialist.

W. E. B. Du Bois, and A. Philip Randolph and several other leaders were quite critical of Garvey, whose objectives they found unrealistic, ridiculous, and full of pageantry. They believed he was a fraud and organized the “Garvey Must Go” campaign. However, Marcus Garvey rise to prominence and organizational skills is what made these two men jealous. Garvey was the only leader to lead the biggest movement in Black America’s history.

Garvey was not one to take any attack lightly, he called W.E.B. Dubois, a “lazy, dependent mulatto” and his criticism of A. Philip Randolph was not kinder.

Let us know your thoughts on today’s Podcast.

Necessary Blackness Ep: 47 King Was AmeriKKKa’s Nightmare

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, Rahiem Shabazz analyzes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s life and how mainstream media tries to change the narrative of his message. The message of MLK is being changed to revise his history for the state sanction holiday we celebrate every year. Initially, the church was opposed to King’s message because they saw it as a “social issue” and not a spiritual one. These same churches open up their doors to civil right leaders and politicians every year to reclaim the dream when Martin was a nightmare to AmeriKKKa’s hypocrisy.  King was an individual who lifted the think veils of deceit and uncovered AmeriKKKa’s treachery. He would’ve spoken out against Trump and his entire administration.
