About Native Drums

Explore the powerful symbolism of drums in African American culture, once tools of communication and resistance during the darkest times of slavery. We confront the lingering shadows of economic exploitation and the pervasive influence of media and religion in controlling black narratives. Let’s reexamine the role of the black church and its mission to fight systemic injustices, urging a return to prophetic ministries that prioritize humanity and community over material wealth. This podcast episode is not just a reflection of the past but a call to action for the future, urging us to build a more just and liberated world.

Some of our earliest members would have known enslavement firsthand, yet they still built a ...

   Balanced Justice

   Send us Fan Mail The criminal justice system can feel like a locked door until the day you need it, and then you’re expected to understand everything at once. We sit down with attorney Susan McGill, a candidate for 12th Circuit solicitor serving Florence County and Marion County, to make the process plain spoken and practical.
