Rob from Los Angeles shares his story of being a biracial man who rejected the "only black" identity required at Morehouse College. He discusses his research into eugenics and his new business venture, "We Here Though," which sells apparel. Rob lost his 21-year career in massage therapy due to COVID-19 related issues and now supports the podcast.
The podcast investigates the background of Griffith J. Davis, the photographer who captured the Nixon-MLK meeting. Davis, a Morehouse graduate and Buffalo Soldier, worked for USAID, which Adam Curry identifies as a frequent channel for CIA activity. The hosts speculate that Davis may have been tasked with monitoring King to ensure he stayed within the parameters of American capitalism and away from radical or communist influences.
In Atlanta, two college students from Morehouse and Spelman are forcefully removed from their car and tased by police. Moe points out that five of the six officers involved were black, reinforcing his argument that the issue is one of class and authority rather than skin color. The swift firing of these officers is contrasted with the slow response in the Chauvin case.
Martin Luther King Jr. was born Michael Luther King Jr. on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. Raised in a religious and activist household, he skipped two grades and entered Morehouse College at the age of 15. The hosts suggest he was groomed for leadership from a young age by his father, a prominent reverend and NAACP leader.
