72: Duke Power

The Talented Tenth and the Silent Clergy

The hosts analyze Dr. Turner's sermon through the lens of the "Talented Tenth" and the "Boule." They suggest that the Duke family's donations to the Methodist Church ensured that local black reverends remained quiet during the lacrosse scandal, as they knew "where their bread was buttered." This explains why outside figures like Malik Shabazz were needed for protests.
