Our hair has always carried history — from resistance to resilience. In this episode, we trace the journey from the 1786 Tignon Laws to The CROWN Act, unpacking centuries of control, creativity, and cultural pride.
Will breaks down respectability politics, “professionalism,” the workplace bias we’re STILL fighting, and why even Michelle Obama felt pressured to straighten her hair. This is a conversation about identity, liberation, and reclaiming the crown we were born with.

“The Safe Negro: Blanche Bruce and the Politics of Being Palatable”
What happens when Black excellence becomes a performance instead of a protest?
In this episode of We Got Time Today, Will unpacks the story of Blanche Kelso Bruce — born enslaved, self-taught, and the first Black man to serve a full term in the U.S. Senate. But there’s more to the story.
Why didn’t white America fear him? What does it mean when power only welcomes Black voices that play it “safe”? And how do today’s Black Republicans — like Tim Scott and Byron Donalds — continue that same pattern of respectability over rebellion?
Will breaks down the real legacy of Blanche Bruce, the GOP’s “party switch” that modern conservatives love to omit, and asks the question that still matters today:
👉🏾 Does respectability politics actually help Black Americans — or just protect white comfort?
Press play and let’s talk about who gets to be visible, who gets to be vocal, and who America still calls “safe.”

From Carol Jenkins to Ahmaud Arbery: The Dark Legacy of Sundown Towns
“Don’t let the sun set on you here.”
That wasn’t a metaphor — it was a threat.
All across America, there were towns where Black people were told to leave before dark… or face the consequences. And the wildest part? Many of those towns never really disappeared — they just learned how to hide in plain sight. 👀
From violent expulsions and stolen land to redlining maps, police stops, and “suspicious person” calls, the sundown mentality is still shaping who belongs — and who’s forced to prove they do.
In this week’s episode of We Got Time Today, we’re breaking down:
⚠️ What sundown towns really were — and why they existed
🏙️ Five real towns with dark histories that still shape America today
📖 The story of Carol Jenkins — and why her murder still matters
🗺️ How the legacy of sundown towns lives on in policing, zoning, and housing today
💡 This isn’t ancient history — it’s the blueprint we’re still living inside.

Wakanda Forever: Why Wakanda matters more now than ever!
Wakanda might be fictional — but the message? That’s real.
In this episode of We Got Time Today, we dive deep into the nation of Wakanda from Black Panther. Why did it matter so much to us? Why did the T’Challa vs. Killmonger debate feel like Malcolm X vs. Martin Luther King Jr. all over again? And what does it teach us about African American struggles, resilience, and the fight for liberation today?
We’ll unpack:
✨ The origin of Wakanda in Marvel Comics (1966)
✨ How the Black Panther films became cultural earthquakes
✨ T’Challa & Killmonger’s debate and its MLK/Malcolm parallels
✨ Real-life Wakandas: Black Wall Street, Harlem Renaissance, HBCUs
✨ What Wakanda teaches us about building Black futures in 2025
This is more than Marvel. This is about legacy, power, and possibility.
Wakanda isn’t just a movie — it’s a movement.
