Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, has spoken about the origin of the White race in various speeches and writings. He has often espoused a narrative that suggests that the White race was created through a selective breeding process by an evil scientist named Yakub, who lived 6,000 years ago. According to Farrakhan's teachings, Yakub, a Black scientist, initiated a eugenics program that led to the creation of the White race as a genetically inferior group meant to rule for a limited time before eventually being supplanted by people of color. It's important to note that these beliefs are specific to Farrakhan's teachings within the Nation of Islam.

In Mississippi, six former sheriff's deputies have been sentenced to between 10 and 40 years in prison for raiding a home and torturing, shooting and sexually abusing two Black men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, in January 2023. The six former deputies, all of whom are white, called themselves the "Goon Squad" and have been linked to at least four violent attacks on Black men since 2019. Two of the men attacked and tortured by the group subsequently died. To discuss the case and the verdict, we're joined by Eddie Parker and attorneys Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker. "Never have we seen this many police officers sentenced to this kind of time in one week," says Shabazz, who calls the verdict "historic." Jenkins, Parker and Shabazz are currently suing the Rankin County Sheriff's Department over its track record of civil rights violations and racist targeting of Black residents.

We would also examine the tactics they employ to secure their positions? And perhaps most importantly, is there any room for democracy in Africa?
In this video, we mentioned an example of elections that happened back in 2016 in Gambia as an example.
In order to explore answers to these thought -provoking questions, We'll take a deep dive into examining the historical, cultural, and political factors that contribute to their prolonged reign. We'll uncover the deep-rooted issues that influence power dynamics in African nations.

"Follow the Drinking Gourd" is a folk song that originated during the time of slavery in the United States. It served as a coded message to help enslaved people escape to freedom along the Underground Railroad. The "drinking gourd" refers to the Big Dipper constellation, which points towards the North Star, Polaris, a guiding light towards the north and freedom. Morgan Freeman, the acclaimed actor and narrator, has narrated or discussed the song in various contexts due to his interest in history and his involvement in projects related to African American culture and heritage.
