Reflecting On Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Then and Now

In this episode I will be shining the spotlight on a mighty man of God who stood for Love and Peace and Equality for Black Americans. Let us never forget the way he impacted the lives of many Americans not just Black People but of all colors. And please never forget there is only 1 Race.....The Human Race.

My prayer as always is that this episode will encourage and inspire you in your life. I hope you will consider subscribing and sharing my podcasts with others. Stay Blessed and Less Stressed, Love to You ALL!

Host Shayna Terrell celebrates the birth of the young king Adonis, and returns to her hosting duties on the Black Educator Pipeline Podcast, speaking with returning guest Dr. Greg Carr ahead of MLK day 2024.

The two discuss how the same sanitized, whitewashed stories get told on this holiday every year, as well as discussing how we can best start the new year while fighting for the education and liberation of our Black students. 

What should we be most concerned with in 2024? What do we need to leave behind in 2023 and how do we continue the beautiful struggle and resistance in building a better world? Dr. Carr (Associate Professor of Afro-American Studies at Howard University) helps us answer these questions in the return of BTBEP. 

Part two of this three-part series titled "American Conspiracies" looks at the assassinations of the two most powerful Black men and leaders in America in the 1960s: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.  This episode will present the different theories and ideas of their assassinations.  Was the Nation of Islam responsible for Malcolm X's death?  Was James Earl Ray the lone assassin who killed Dr. King?  Let's explore and discuss.

I take a moment to remember the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  I also give a quick history lesson that Dr. King's holiday was not completely accepted by all 50 states when originally signed into law by President Ronald Reagan.
