Watch now | In this Weekly Wrap Up, Eddie discusses the overwhelming nature of current news, focusing on significant political events, global conflicts, and the humanitarian crises arising from them. He critiques the actions of Donald Trump and his administration, particularly regarding executive power, immigration policies, and the dismantling of DEI initiatives. Eddie reminds us of the importance of collective action and mindfulness in addressing these pressing issues, while also reflecting on the historical context of racial discrimination in America.
So glad you continue to send these weekly wrap ups. I'm in the midst of reading the recent bio of John Lewis (just got to a section on Fannie Lou Hamer, a (s)hero I had the honor to meet in 1969 in my freshman year at my state university. Now she'd get nowhere near that place. All this has been breaking my heart but I'm back on the rally and boycott circuit. You are SO right that WE have power, though it's powerful easy to feel defeat and exhaustion. Let's get off our heels and on our toes, indeed. Thanks for saying that. I've been so completely unsettled; you sharing your unsettledness helps.
you cant ignore history by trying to cancel it....for Gods sake, its the very thing they accused the democrats of doing, cancel culture.....history,science&medicine are facts ..they just are...you cant pretend they arent there...just as you cant try to erase civil rights....people cant underdo their brains and rewrite their memories...this isnt a tale like fahrenheit 451 where you can rewrite the american people..it just cant be done..in trying to rewrite america, trump will set it alight :(
Having an inhumane, greed driven, and historically ignorant individual at the ship of state's helm and a first mate, chainsaw in hand, ready to saw through the ship's mast is frightening and demoralizing. They along with their "cabinet" crew that's motley, ill-suited, and with few exceptions incompetent are already axing holes in the ship's hull. They are breaking laws, destroying essential continuity within and without our country, and using smoke and mirrors to justify it. Will too many laud his actions without question? I hope not! In the meantime, may the good lawyers fighting them prevail. Will his MAGA minions inevitably affected by his steering us onto the rocks understand what's happening and why? I hope so. Your Native Son weekly wrap-ups are much appreciated.
Dr.Eddie,
Your weekly wrap up is therapeutic for me. It continues to inspire and give me hope.
Our ancestors gifted us with sacrifice and courage. We are powerful, because we have survived.
We won’t bow down to someone else’s ignorance. We must make our own path!
Thank you, sir. 🤎
