SUMMARY:Conversation Series 115 - Charles Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-fifteenth Conversation Series event\, we have Charles Anderson. \nI’m starting to get referrals\, y’all! In a clear sign of growth for The Contraband Wagon\, my next guest was referred to me by one of my amazing patrons. This patron has watched several conversations on race\, and she realized she knew the perfect person to be on the show\, Charles Anderson. Charles is a father\, a husband\, and an artist based in Louisiana. He had the experience of living amongst almost exclusively racialized white people\, and then living almost exclusively among racialized Black people. This is an unusual life experience that has radically impacted Charles. Listen to him explain his journey during this Conversation Series event. Put your questions and comments in the chat! \nCharles’ Website: https://futureheroesprogram.square.site/

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 114 - Simma
DESCRIPTION:It’s November of 2023\, and I have been having public conversations on the subject of race for over three years. I seem to have broken through a soft shell of sorts and managed to rapidly connect to many other people creating conversations on the subject of race. The guest for this conversation series event\, Simma the Inclusionist\, is one of them. Check out her work here: https://raceconvo.com/ and follow her on “X” (formerly known as Twitter) here: https://twitter.com/theinclusionist. We will discuss our respective podcasting/livestreaming journeys past\, present\, and future. Of course\, we will also discuss our respective evolution of race consciousness. Tune in and submit your questions and comments in the chat.

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 113 - Kenny Akers
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-thirteenth Conversation Series event\, we have Kenny Akers. Kenny is another stranger I met on the “X” platform\, but he certainly stands out from many other invitees. He consistently and purposefully posts information about Black history\, race\, and white supremacy. I only recently discovered and started following Kenny\, but I have been extremely impressed by the depth and breadth of the educational content he composes. I knew I had to have a conversation with him on the show about his evolution of race consciousness\, his work\, and our mutual goals. I hope you’ll join us! Bring your comments and questions in the chat! If you’d like to support Kenny’s incredible work and amplify its impact\, please consider subscribing for only $2.99 per month. Get the education yourself\, and help spread it to a wider audience. \nHis Twitter: https://twitter.com/KeneAkers

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 110 - Nick Cotter (Three Years Later)
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-tenth (yes\, you read that right) Conversation Series event\, we have a returning guest\, Nick Cotter. \nIt has been about three years since Nick Cotter\, a policy analyst for Alleghany county\, was last on The Contraband Wagon. At that time we had a riveting conversation about affordable housing\, poverty\, and gun violence in Pennsylvania\, all of which Nick has personal experience with. We talked about his evolution of race consciousness and why he agrees with Lyndon B. Johnson’s statements:\n“Negro poverty is not white poverty. Many of its causes and many of its cures are the same. But there are differences – deep\, corrosive\, obstinate differences – radiating painful roots into the community and into the family\, and the nature of the individual. These differences are not racial differences. They are solely and simply the consequence of ancient brutality\, past injustice\, and present prejudice.” \nSince our last conversation\, Nick has been working on an extensive gun violence prevention program for an absurd amount of hours a week. I happened to catch him during a weeks-long reprieve\, and why not have the discussion on black-on-black crime that so many trolls on social media suggest antiracist activists are too afraid to have. Nick agreed right away as a racialized white man doing the work in the field. This will be a good one\, y’all.

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project - Episode 5 - Part 5 - A Commentary
DESCRIPTION:I will be watching and commenting on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/thecontrabandwagon) on this brand-new Hulu show based on the 1619 Project by Professor Nikole Hannah-Jones. We already covered episodes 1 through 4 so we will continue with episode 5! \nI will be pausing to add my commentary and insight throughout the first half of the first episode. There are six one-hour episodes in total so you can expect twelve episodes of the show on this series (not necessarily back to back though). \nHere is the show’s description on Hulu: “Hulu’s six-part 1619 Docuseries is an expansion of ‘The 1619 Project’ created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times Magazine. The series seeks to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative”

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 106 - Zenith
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-sixth Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with “Zenith.” I saw him recently write on X (Twitter) that he wanted to “confront” an antiracist\, so I volunteered. I invited him to come on my livestream\, and after some negotiations about the date and time\, he agreed. He told me that he’s going to prove that I’m the “real racist\,” so that’ll be interesting I guess. Much more bloodsport than I normally engage with on the show. Definitely tune in and share your questions and comments in the chat.

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 105 - Gil Garcia
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-fifth Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Gil Garcia. Gil is a self-proclaimed reformed centrist whose race consciousness evolved greatly through a thorough investigation of his Latino racialization and colorism in Mexico. We will discuss his revelations\, his experience before those revelations\, and his future actions based on them. Gil is a retired public policy guru\, so we will certainly discuss his experience with policy and his recommendations for fighting back against racism. Bring your comments and questions and type them into the chat!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 104 - Spence Rodgers
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-four Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Spence Rodgers. Spence was following an unpleasant exchange I was having on Twitter and interjected with some nice comments. I invited him to apply to be on the livestream\, and he obliged. Spence realized the more he learned about racial trauma\, the more he saw parallels between the traumas he endured along with his sister and other vulnerable autistic children. We will discuss traumas of all types and have a philosophical discussion that hopely offers viewers some agency and hope. Bring your comments and questions and type them into the chat!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 103 - Linda Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-three Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Linda Christmas. Linda is a waitress at my local Waffle House. I always try to speak with people in my local community about race and just their lives. Between bites of eggs and bacon\, Linda and I became acquainted enough for me to learn about her family and their experience with tragedy and trauma\, her experience with race/racialization\, her anti-violence advocacy work\, and her general wisdom from living and learning. She attended my recent live event for The Contraband Wagon\, I invited her to appear on the livestream near the end of the event\, and she accepted. Seeing is believing\, and she saw me. You can see us\, too\, talking about race\, violence\, poverty\, opportunity\, crime\, and more. Bring your comments and questions and type them into the chat!
