Happy Birthday, Malcolm X!
<p>"The progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven’t even begun to pull the knife out, much less heal the wound.

In this episode Lettie shares a few facts about him, she talks about a newspaper he started in 1960, and Lettie reads a few quotes you need to hear and remember because they are still just as applicable in 2023.

2. Jordan Neely & Ida B. Wells' Lynch Law Today
<p>Yes, an essay written 130 years ago—by a Black woman who was a crusader for justice—is still relevant today as we read and hear about what happened to Jordan Neely on a train in New York earlier this week. </p> <p>In this episode, Lettie reads excerpts from "Lynch Law" (1893) by Ida B. Wells and shows vital connections to not only the killing and lynching of Jordan Neely, but also to the racist systems and institutions in the U.S. as a whole. History always shows us!</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/lettiegore" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Become a patron and learn from Lettie.</strong></a></p> <p>Follow Lettie on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerely.lettie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@sincerely.lettie</a> and @historyshowsuspodcast</p> <p><br></p> <p>Read more about and from Ida B.
