EP. 823: A PROTEST HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES ft. GLORIA J. BROWNE-MARSHALL
Get Gloria's book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770181/a-protest-history-of-the-united-states-by-gloria-j-browne-marshall/
In 2025, the United States has witnessed a resurgence of protests and movements addressing various social, political, and environmental issues. From the People’s March in Washington, D.C. protesting the current administration’s policies, to scientists rallying against budget cuts to research programs, to the nationwide No Kings Marches, the nation’s streets have become platforms for civic expression.
Amid this backdrop, award-winning writer, legal scholar, and civil rights advocate Gloria J. Browne-Marshall presents A Protest History of the United States, covering more than four centuries of American dissent and weaving together legal analysis, historical documentation, personal memoir, and interviews with those who have taken a stand.

EP. 821: THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF THE DOCTOR AND THE IMMIGRANT ft. MILTON ALLIMADI
Read Milton's article here: https://blackstarnews.com/police-recommend-charges-against-dr-paul-gregory-st-claire-former-u-michigan-health-sparrow-anesthesiologist-whose-wife-alleged-illegal-drugging/
Change.ORG petion here: https://c.org/WYDqjKr7kc
Milton Allimadi examines the disturbing allegations made by Ms. Cassandra Fameux, a Haitian immigrant, who says her husband Dr. Paul Gregory St. Claire and her former psychiatrist Dr. Dominic Barberio illegally injected her for years with Invega Sustenna, a powerful antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Ms. Fameux insists she never had either condition, raising serious questions about medical abuse, coercion, and the systems that allowed this to happen.

EP. 819: WHY CAN'T THE KIDS READ? ft. C. DERICK VARN
