Our World Our Time Mini EP 17 Fort Moses

June 26, 2021 00:57 - 7 minutes - 18.1 MB

A little known fact about the underground railroad is that one route led to Florida. Yes, slaves would escape to freedom by going further south. This episode I speak on Fort Moses. Do your own research on this as always enjoy the episode. 

Our World Our Time mini ep 16 Shaft

June 18, 2021 17:40 - 13 minutes - 31.4 MB

First off, let us make this clear, Shaft was a novel before becoming the iconic cinematic character that we all know of. This episode I share some little known facts about this larger than life character. So as you hum the theme song make sure you also do some research, enjoy.  

Our World Our Time mini ep 15 Uncle Tom's Cabin

June 18, 2021 17:29 - 13 minutes - 32 MB

Nothing says sellout, traitor and describes someone who has turned his or her back on their Black people like the phrase Uncle Tom. As time has gone on so many people use the word without even knowing the actual origin of it. This episode I shed a little light on where the word comes from. This is a Black history moment indeed.  We also go down memory lane with morning cartoons and how dope Voltron was.  As always go out here and do your research and enjoy.

Our World Our Time Ep mini ep 14 The Apollo Theater

June 11, 2021 12:20 - 19 minutes - 44.2 MB

When you think of Black music there are people, places, things and art forms that come to mind instantly. The Apollo Theater is one of those things. There isn't many places more iconic than building on 125th in Harlem. I will say I lost track of time during the intro so it is a longer intro than normal. Outside of that, it is a great episode, as always do your own research and enjoy

Our World Our Time mini ep 13 Ellen and William Craft

June 11, 2021 11:53 - 8 minutes - 19.5 MB

One of the greatest, more compelling stories of slaves escaping to freedom has to be the the story of Ellen and William Craft. The brilliance of the plan alone is great, but to actually attempt to do AND pull it off... There should be a movie made of this at some point. As always do your own research and enjoy. 

Our World Our Time Ep mini ep 12 Tulsa Riot

June 02, 2021 00:56 - 17 minutes - 39.1 MB

This was the second Black History segment of the show from this past Saturday. It is so hard to talk about anything this horrific and not want to go off on a rant. I may have said too much or maybe not enough. but I said what I said and I'm more than okay with that. I have no idea what critical race theory is supposed to be about, I know the past is the past and not exploring it and learning from it in this sense is out right condoning the blatant racism and bad judgment calls that plague ma...

Our World Our Time Ep mini ep 11 The First Memorial Day

June 02, 2021 00:42 - 10 minutes - 24 MB

On Memorial Day weekend I did a two moments in Black History segments. The first one was about the first Memorial Day back in 1865. With that being said to be fair there are those who claim July 4th in 1864 in Philly was the first. I didn't say anything because there was never evidence or mention of it until the early 1900's in Philly. Even the 1865 and 1866 ones were downplayed more than overlooked for years by many historians. Please do your own research and enjoy

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 10: Phillis Wheatley

May 28, 2021 04:31 - 12 minutes - 29.7 MB

Time in America is funny to me. As much as our past is cloaked in slavery, there are stories such as this that confuses me completely. A slave who had her work of poems published? Sounds unreal but true. As always do your research and enjoy

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 9: Phillip B Downing

May 28, 2021 04:16 - 10 minutes - 23.7 MB

Ever think about who came up with the mail box? Or even why would they come up with such a dull but necessary thing? No... You're not alone, BUT this episode we talk about who did give us such important thing. As always go out and do some research and enjoy  

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 8: The Banjo

May 21, 2021 02:25 - 15 minutes - 36 MB

One of the most redneck backwoods, hillbilly instruments is actually an African instrument... That's right, the banjo has its origin in West Africa. I remember hearing about this as a kid and paid it no mind. Growing up and seeing who uses it the most makes for an intriguing view on things. I'm sure most people using the banjo now have no idea that is an African instrument and if they do it doesn't matter at this point. It is a major fixture to folk, mountain and other really down home music...

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 7: Mary Kenner

May 20, 2021 20:38 - 9 minutes - 21.8 MB

Has a Female ever stopped and thought, who came up with the tampon? I'm sure some of you have. The next question is , how many of you thought it was a Black female? Not many of you and it is what it is. Most people don't know the name Mary Kenner but shit changed the game for females everywhere. This episode I speak on her invention. As always look this up, just check her out at some point. Enjoy

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 6: Devil's Punchbowl

May 20, 2021 20:01 - 7 minutes - 7.12 MB

Here is a crazy piece of American history that rarely is told. After The Civil War just over 20,000 Black people were placed in a concentration camp in  Natchez, MS. Not many people know of this story. I've heard that peaches grow out there and no one eats them because the locals know the history of the area. As always I encourage people to look this stuff up. Enjoy.

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 5: Bessie Coleman

May 14, 2021 03:04 - 8 minutes - 18.9 MB

We have all heard of Amelia Earhart and for good reason. Another female who was out there testing stereo types and male egos was Bessie Brown. half Native American and Black, she had to go overseas to get lessons and her license to fly. As always take some time to look this person up. Listen and enjoy. 

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 4: Marie Van Brittan Brown

May 14, 2021 02:45 - 7 minutes - 17.7 MB

A Jamaica, Queen nurse invented the first home security system. Reading or saying it feels kinda strange, but it is true. This episode shows' love Marie Van Brittan Brown. As always I encourage people to do some research on these people I speak on. Enjoy

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 3: Black History: Kentucky Derby

May 07, 2021 18:19 - 11 minutes - 26.6 MB

A quick history, lost in the history books as far as I can tell... Black Jockeys in The Kentucky Derby. 13 of the first 15 riders were Black. Look this up and you will see that yet again Black people are part of the American experience that most black people would think they would have been invited to be a part of.  

Our World Our Time: Mini Ep 2: Hattie McDaniel

May 07, 2021 02:32 - 15 minutes - 36.1 MB

This mini episode is about the great and highly overlooked Hattie McDaniel. The first Black person to win an Oscar. Unlike the last episode, I took the time to explain what I'm doing as well what to expect with these mini episodes.

Once again it's on.... Kinda. I've been crazy busy BUT I have been doing this thing on my radio show where I have been speaking on Black History. With that being said This episode is about Motown Records. I never knew the beginning of the Motown story, so I was shocked by what I read. before that I briefly spoke on the passing of Back Rob, How a radio show inspired my next show, the Verzuz with Redman and Method Man and my opinion of what went down with Columbus Ohio with a Black teen being ...

Ep 4 : The ? Remains

May 13, 2020 00:49 - 21 minutes - 50.1 MB

Last week my brother the legendary Dj Mhaffa posed a question on his show... Have we as Black people reached the promised land? Many answered no, I said yes. I felt I needed to explain myself a little more so I did. This is something I have to come back when I start having guess. Salute to DJ Mhaffa for bringing such a much needed conversation starting question to his listeners. 

Our World Our Time Ep 3: Stimulus Package

April 07, 2020 22:43 - 19 minutes - 45.4 MB

Guess who's back??? This whole quarantine thing had me tripping as if I couldn't stand in front of a mic and speak... Yeah, I can't believe I was thinking that way. This is episode is called Stimulus Package like the Freeway and Jake One project. I just rant about how things are more about corporations are the real reason so many states aren't in a true "lockdown". I will have some guest and at some point I will get into some Hip Hop and music. Get at me at Twiiter @Black_Ceez & Instagram @...
