This week, Sandie is joined by Kwame Siriboe to discuss how Mao Zedong's Communist Manifesto influenced Black Radicals in the United States, including the founder of the Black Panthers. Kwame and Sandie discuss their alma mater, and their multiple missed connections. Kwame thinks this is a test. Sandie wants to bridge some gaps. They both talk about intergenerational trauma (a common theme in this podcast), representation in media, and the importance of voting.
