Black History Year

PushBlack

Learning your history makes you - and your people - stronger. As Black people, we know we’re left out of the history books. That the media images are skewed. That we need access to experts, information and ideas so we can advance our people. Black History Year connects you to the history, thinkers, and activists that are left out of the mainstream conversations. You may not agree with everything you hear, but we’re always working toward one goal: uniting for the best interest of Black people worldwide. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com. read less

Our Editor's Take

Black History Year shares a symbolic rewriting of the history books in podcast form. This series is on a mission to inform and educate about forgotten or miscommunicated stories from Black history. Producing the series is PushBlack, the largest non-profit Black media company in America. The podcast shares unknown stories and the truth behind historical events.

New podcast episodes release every weekday and last about 2-5 minutes. There are also longer episodes with guests that provide extra information and storytelling. Topics discussed include everything from Black culture to the criminalization of Black men. Instead of just Black History Month here, it's Black History Year.

One Black History Year podcast episode tells the history of the durag, a staple piece of headwear. Why did something so essential to the maintenance of Black hair become illegal? This episode examines the overlap between Black culture and white beauty standards.

Some episodes focus on inspiring figures throughout Black history. One tells the tale of a talented Black ballerina in the 1940s. She performed to an applauding audience, rejecting the request to disguise her Blackness. Her name was Janet Collins, and she fought to perform and teach without concealing who she was. It's a story of how white supremacy tried to hide her talent. Like others throughout Black history, her resilience and determination led to her success.

Other episodes reveal the truth behind major events and celebrations in US history. Juneteenth is a national holiday marking the liberation of Black lives from slavery. But what is the reason for eating red food during this celebration? Is it a way of honoring Black ancestors? Or is there another reason behind this habitual feast? This podcast explores to find out.

The Black History Year podcast provides an authentic playlist of Black stories. Listeners can learn about silent protests and the importance of author James Baldwin. From the Black Panthers to mental health, no story is without significance. It's a re-education of history through the people who fought against racial barriers to survive.

Black History Year Season 5: Creating The Culture

Black History Year Season 5: Creating The Culture

For four seasons – that’s right, four seasons – we’ve learned histories hidden from us, challenged the systemic structures built to subjugate us, and asked those critical questions that can push us towards Black liberation. In season five, those conversations can’t stop–won’t stop!–as we continue using history building toward liberated Black futures. That’s why we're talking about the exploitative rewritings of our narratives, and asking what's required of us to confront an anti-Black system. We’re digging into the culture, too! Don’t miss talks about our holidays, the digital packaging of Blackness, and the Black horror genre in film, literature, and everyday life. When it comes to Black liberation, we can’t stop and won’t stop fighting.

Traveling While Black with Briona Lamback

Traveling While Black with Briona Lamback

Today's History Story: Staying Safe While Traveling Traveling wasn't always accessible to our ancestors. The Great Migration allowed many Black individuals to leave the South and move to urban areas. Over time, leisure travel became common among Black people, facilitated by resources like The Green Book, offering opportunities to break free from oppression and to discover the interconnectedness of Black communities nationwide. Today, more Black Americans are traveling abroad to connect with dispersed roots, including our guest, PushBlack’s very own Briona Lamback. Along with being a valued senior writer on our Content team, Briona is an award-winning journalist and entrepreneur. She’s the founder of Buoyant Travel, which she created with the following principles in mind: economics, joy, and Black travel as a key to Black freedom.

Copaganda Exposed with Chenjerai Kumanyika

Copaganda Exposed with Chenjerai Kumanyika

Today's History Story: John Johnson Attica Have you ever stopped to consider how much media focuses on police narratives? The sheer volume almost feels dystopian. There’s even a term for it: copaganda. Whether you’ve heard it or not, copaganda's reach is vast, with even vaster consequences. It infiltrates every form of media, from the morning news to evening cartoons. So what's the history of copaganda -- and how do we combat the pervasive presence of policing on our screens? Today’s guest has some ideas. Chenjerai Kumanyika is a journalist, author, and organizer working at the intersections of social justice and emerging media in the cultural and creative industries. He’s also the host of "Empire City," a mind-blowing podcast about the history of policing, coming this fall. This conversation might have you seeing your favorite movies in new and interesting ways. Because beneath the layers of plot and character, you might just uncover a piece of copaganda. To learn more about Chenjerai's work, visit XX.

The (De)Construction of Black Masculine Identity with Marlon Ross

The (De)Construction of Black Masculine Identity with Marlon Ross

Today's History Story: Black Men Aren't Allowed to Have Emotions, Right? Gender has shaped and continues to shape much of our lives. It tells boys to wear blue and girls to wear pink, dictates what careers are “appropriate” as adults, and even has a say in how we’re expected to express our feelings. Quiet as it's kept, a big reason gender norms exist is to maintain white supremacist notions of what it means to be a man. But in the tradition of Black resistance, our people have pushed back against these arbitrary rules. And today, we’re talking about that and much more with an incredible scholar working at the intersection of literature, race, gender and sexuality, Marlon B. Ross. As the author of “Sissy Insurgencies,” “Manning the Race,” and other critical writings, Marlon has dedicated his work to uncovering the evolving narratives of Black masculinity. This cat is redefining how we understand and discuss these issues. And he’s here to share insights that will have you rethinking everything you know about manhood.
