The goal of the Anderton Creasey Show is to be a compelling and thought-provoking podcast that delves deep into the myriad of current affairs impacting the lives of everyday Americans. Hosted by an insightful and engaging presenter, the show provides a unique blend of serious analysis and a humorous take on the often absurd world of politics and community leadership. In each episode, Anderton Creasey dissects the latest news and events, unafraid to question the decisions and motivations of those in power. We bring a fresh perspective to discussions, encouraging listeners to think critically.
Uncover the chilling reality of Jim Crow injustice and the systemic devaluation of Black lives, particularly young Black women, through the tragic story of Hattie McCray.
In this episode, we delve into the case of 14-year-old Hattie, who was killed by a white police officer in segregated New Orleans in 1930 after she refused his repeated sexual advances.
Her death starkly illustrates the pervasive sexualized violence faced by Black women and girls by white men who often acted with impunity.
Hattie's case revealed the systemic failure of the legal system to hold law enforcement accountable for violence against Black individuals; between 1920 and 1945, in Orleans Parish, grand juries refused to indict police officers in an alarming 95 percent of homicide cases involving Black victims.
While her killer, Charles Guerand, was initially convicted in a rare outcome for the era, the sources argue this was more about preserving the image of white authority than valuing Hattie's life.
The conviction was ultimately undermined through legal maneuvers, leading to a reduced sentence and minimal time served, a process characterized as "Justice Mocked".
Explore the societal complicity highlighted by bystander inaction at the time of the crime.
Learn about how some media accounts devalued Hattie's experience and pain, framing the killing as self-defense and denying her full personhood.
We also touch upon the tragic irony that Hattie was truly believed only after her death, as her lifeless body served as undeniable evidence against racist stereotypes.
Despite the systemic failures, Hattie's story spurred community activism in New Orleans, with organizations like the NAACP, the Federation of Civic Leagues, and the Louisiana Weekly newspaper forming a coalition to support legal action and demand justice.
Her case became a symbol of Black womanhood in need of protection and is remembered today as an example of the historical struggle against racial and gendered violence, contributing to contemporary movements like #SayHerName.
This episode bears witness to Hattie's life and legacy, ensuring her story is not forgotten.

This historical event, though often overlooked, serves as a chilling blueprint for systemic oppression that continues to impact Black America today. While the physical scars have faded, the systems it reinforced—economic inequality, segregation, and racial violence—still shape contemporary struggles.
This podcast delves into the causes and immediate impacts of the 1917 massacre, including labor competition and racial animosity. We then trace the direct connections to modern-day challenges, uncovering how historical trauma informs contemporary issues such as the racial wealth gap, ongoing segregation, the school-to-prison pipeline, and police violence.

But this is also a story of resilience and resistance. From the powerful Silent Protest Parade of 1917 organized by the NAACP to modern movements fighting voter suppression, environmental racism, and economic inequality, we highlight the enduring fight for justice.

Black Women: Pausing for Revolutionary Rest
Tired of the myth of the "Strong Black Woman"? This podcast dives deep into the systemic barriers and societal expectations that uniquely impact Black women's well-being. We unpack the harmful archetype demanding emotional restraint, extreme independence, and constant caretaking, and explore how it hinders essential self-care practices.
Discover the historical context of energy exploitation faced by Black women, who have long served as the "moral compass and revolutionary vanguard". We examine how their energy has been "consistently extracted without reciprocity or acknowledgement," leading to a deeply ingrained expectation of constant output and resilience.
We tackle crucial questions like:•
How do financial constraints due to economic inequities and lack of time due to multiple responsibilities act as barriers to self-care?•
What are the impacts of ingrained societal expectations beyond the "Strong Black Woman" myth?•
Why is prioritizing rest considered a "revolutionary act" for Black women?•
What does "reclamation of energy" truly mean for Black women's well-being and collective power?•
How does "intersectional invisibility" compound the challenges Black women face in accessing self-care and achieving overall well-being?
Join us as we challenge these norms, explore the revolutionary potential of rest, and redefine strength on Black women's own terms.
This podcast is a space for understanding, empowerment, and the crucial reclaiming of energy for Black women everywhere.

Black Land Loss in America: The Reels Family’s Fight for Justice in Silver Dollar Road
The issue of Black land loss in the United States is a critical yet often overlooked consequence of systemic racism, legal loopholes, and economic exclusion. Silver Dollar Road, a powerful documentary by Raoul Peck, sheds light on this crisis through the story of the Reels family and their relentless battle to retain their ancestral land.
A key driver of Black land dispossession is heirs' property laws—policies that come into play when landowners pass away without a will, resulting in fragmented ownership. These laws create vulnerabilities that allow developers and outside interests to seize land from Black families, perpetuating generational wealth loss.
Compounded by historical discrimination, exclusion from financial and legal systems, and the commodification of land, these challenges have continuously undermined Black Americans' pursuit of economic stability and the so-called "American Dream."
The Reels family's story is one of resilience, resistance, and the unyielding fight to preserve their heritage. Their struggle against systemic oppression represents a larger narrative of Black land ownership in America—one deeply tied to culture, identity, and historical justice. Through the lens of colonialism and capitalism, Silver Dollar Road underscores the urgent need to protect Black landownership and recognize its significance in the broader fight for racial and economic justice.

The Power of Boycotts: Civil Rights Strategy and Lasting Impact
This episode delves into the strategic use of boycotts by the Civil Rights Movement as a powerful tool against racial inequality. By targeting economic structures, these boycotts pressured white-owned businesses, driving social and legislative change.
Key historical boycotts—including Montgomery, Baton Rouge, Claiborne, and Chicago—are examined to reveal the tactics used, their economic impact, and their role in shaping future policies. These grassroots efforts not only disrupted unjust systems but also laid the groundwork for legal validation, influencing subsequent civil rights legislation.
Additionally, the episode explores the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities and its role in advancing fair housing policies. Through advocacy and mobility programs, the council fought to dismantle housing discrimination, further expanding the movement’s reach.
The lessons from these boycotts continue to inspire modern social justice movements, showcasing the enduring power of economic resistance in the fight for equality.
