In Search of Black Power
In Search of Black Power challenges conventional narratives around Black policy, Black movements, and Black Life. We focus on creating a new language to discuss the issues presenting Black America, with a focus on independent institutional building and seeing Black folks as the solutions to our own problems.
In Search of Black Power
White Environmentalism Towards Grassroots Environmental Justice
Lawrence and Rasheem discuss the intersection of environmentalism and racism in the United States. They explore the ways in which environmental racism has become a key focus of anti-racist discourse and organizing, drawing on the influential book "Dumping in Dixie" by Robert Bullard.
Through a critical analysis of legal strategies and grassroots organizing, they offer insights into the dangers of "professionalizing" social movements and discuss the importance of rejecting false dichotomies between economic growth and environmental protection. Above all, they center Black community self-determination as the key to a truly just and sustainable future.
In Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast. This podcast is sponsored and produced by Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS).
The internet show is published in collaboration with Black Liberation Media (BLM)
