With Zohran Mamdani’s win in the Democratic primary for New York mayor, and Jeremy Corbyn and Zahra Sultana starting a new left political party there is a resurgence of hope in electoral politics. But Malcolm would warn us that the political system can no more provide our freedom, than a ‘chicken can lay a duck egg’. We run the full interview with Dr Jared A.

Fifth episode in a special series of the Make it Plain podcast, ‘What Would Malcolm Say?’ where Kehinde Andrews explains what Malcolm’s body of work tells us about what is going on in the present. Each episode will also feature a full interview with someone featured in the documentary 'Nobody Can Give You Freedom', which was independently made by Make it Plain. You can watch the entire documentary for free at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZBZyaruoGo&t=136s Film was made by @MichaelEllisFilms  With Jamaica calling on King Charles to support reparations, Kehinde explains what Malcolm would say about the reparatory justice movement today. From the Caribbean Community to the American Descendants of Slavery, reparations are on the agenda, but lacking the radical roots from Malcolm's time. Malcolm famously explained that 'if you stick a knife in my back nine inches, and pull it out 6 inches that is not progress...you have to heal the wound'. Using that yardstick we must understand that the West can never repay the debt, that reparations are revolution.

You best believe Malcom would be mad both at the lack of protection for Black women and how we have been building up the wrong people in the first place. We shouldn't ben adoring those in the House and then wandering why many are fallen idols.

Despite the stereotypes research shows we are the most likely to be active in our children's lives. In light of the recent hostility between Israel and Iran he then discusses what Malcolm would say about Palestine. Malcolm was firmly behind the Palestinian people, linking the struggle for Black freedom to those of oppressed people around the globe. There is no contradiction in trying to build Black independence AND supporting other oppressed groups. Both are essential.

He also uses Malcolm's words to warn that 'these leaders over here who are receiving the praise and pats on the back from the Americans, you can just flush the toilet and let them go right down the drain'. There is no better example of this rule than Nelson Mandela, who Malcolm would have dubbed a 'modern day Uncle Tom'.

👉🏿 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC8g-wk0RIg&t=1s In this week's Black World News Kai discusses the news of Paul Stephenson's passing earlier this month. Paul was a civil rights legend in the UK and a great example of a Black historical figure who should to be on the curriculum. Talking of the curriculum, this week's official guest interview is with Lavinya Stennett, founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum (aka TBC).  They discuss her important work and her important new book ‘Omitted‘ (OUT NEXT YEAR: Feb 13, 2025), which dives into popular misconceptions about Black history, and asks why education still hasn’t changed, even in schools now. Lavinya makes plain some of TBC's challenges when working with institutions and sponsors, the impact of TBC, and whether the curriculum will ever change.  Lavinya is a writer, author, founder & director of TBC. Having graduated with a BA in African Studies and Development from SOAS University, London in 2019, Lavinya was inspired by her learning and experience in New Zealand to set up TBC in 2019 aged 22. During university, she was engaged in student activism as the "Working Class Student Officer" and co-founded a society called Art and the African Mind, which aimed to promote and provide African-centred art and information as well as support for students. Continuing to engage in her love of writing, Lavinya published her dissertation which won the inaugural Walter Rodney Prize, and has written on social and cultural themes throughout the African diaspora for outlets including the Guardian, Black Ballad, and Quartz Africa. TBC was co-founded in 2019 by Lavinya (CEO), Bethany Thompson, and Lisa Kennedy. TBC is a national movement and social enterprise that seeks to change the way Black history is engaged with by everyone. It works to ensure histories of Black people in Britain are integrated into schools and educational facilities. It was supported by Virgil Abloh who was a patron and continues to be supported by Edward Enninfull, David Olusoga, and Jade Bentil. Their work has made real-life differences including learning resources, introducing an accredited Black British history course and Lavinya continues to speak about it worldwide. For her efforts, she’s been awarded the Freedom to the City in London and MIPAD (Most Influential People of African Descent) in New York.  LAVINYA STENNETT + THE BLACK CURRICULUM SOCIALS LINKS (IG) @gottabelavin_ya @theblackcurriculum (X) @CurriculumBlack INTRO LINKS Paul Stephenson obituary https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/22/paul-stephenson-obituary Black Lives: Roy Hackett: the civil rights hero who stood in front of a bus – and changed Britain for ever https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/aug/06/roy-hackett-the-civil-rights-hero-who-stood-in-front-of-a-bus-and-changed-britain-for-ever Interview: Guy Reid-Bailey: the man who sparked the Bristol bus boycott and then fought to desegregate housing https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/17/guy-reid-bailey-the-man-who-sparked-the-bristol-bus-boycott-and-then-fought-to-desegregate-housing Black Lives: Paul Stephenson: the hero who refused to leave a pub – and helped desegregate Britain https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/oct/01/paul-stephenson-the-hero-who-refused-to-leave-a-pub-and-helped-desegregate-britain 'War is madness': Steve McQueen and Saoirse Ronan on Britishness, trauma and new drama Blitz https://www.bigissue.com/culture/film/blitz-steve-mcqueen-saoirse-ronan-interview-war-britain/ LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK Memoirs Of A Black Englishman https://www.tangentbooks.co.uk/shop/pre-order-memoirs-of-a-black-englishman-limited-edition-hardback OFFICIAL GUEST LINKS The Black Curriculum  https://theblackcurriculum.com/ 27 by Lavinya Stennett 27 a poetry collection about cultural rebirths, the cycles of life and a new future https://www.lavinyastennett.co.uk/p27/p/ryua6j4gsjfzev4xot3za0u7a6v1i5 Lavinya's Stennett's Website https://lavinyastennett.co.uk/ Fourth Estate lands Stennett's debut book on Black history https://www.thebookseller.com/rights/4th-estate-lands-stennetts-debut-book-black-history-1266800 Lavinya's Most Influential People of African Descent Award https://blog.mipad.org/lavinya-stennett/ Lavinya awarded the Freedom of the City https://www.instagram.com/gottabelavin_ya/p/DBtX13jIC5e/?img_index=1 JOIN THE STRUGGLE>> THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK): https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ (IG) @harambeeobu (X) @HarambeeOBU (FB) OBUBirmingham Make It Plain - Black Education Community Resource Bank We are creating an educational community resource bank., to provide the education that Black children need.

👉🏿 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y34bkZeNBQg "There's No Such Thing as a Racist, There is Racism" - Kehinde Andrews No guest this week, instead listen in for a Political Education feature from Kehinde Andrews (@Kehinde_Andrews). He highlights the difference between racially prejudiced people and racism, between individual racists and structural racism. "Racism is always systemic," says Kehinde, and if we don't get this we then misdiagnose the problem and come up with the wrong solutions like representation and DEI eg tackling racism in UK club football, and the achievement gap in UK and US higher education. It gets us nowhere. Kehinde has a Malcolm X book out for Malcolm's 100th birthday in May 2025. The book's entitled.
