    Episode: History Repeats, But Only the Punishment Changes

    In this 47-second reflection, Dr. Dawne Washington unpacks an uncomfortable truth: U.S. history is built on stories of people taking power, land, and resources by force, often celebrated as ambition, conquest, or progress. Yet today’s youth, taught this same history in classrooms, are criminalized for far smaller acts framed through the same lens of taking what is not theirs.A short but necessary reflection on cultural pedagogy, double standards, and what we are really teaching the next generation.

    Good Trouble: When We Forget What Was Fought For

    John Lewis told us to get in good trouble. Necessary trouble. The kind of trouble that moves history forward. But what happens when we forget? The not guilty verdict in the case of Chikei Rick Chow, who shot and killed 14 year old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in South Carolina believing the teen was stealing, is not just a legal outcome. It is a reflection of something deeper. It is what happens when a society conditions people to see certain bodies as threats before they see them as human beings. This is Glass House Conditioning in real time. The belief that your belonging, your safety, and your right to exist are conditional. That you must prove your innocence before you are granted your humanity. The civil rights movement was fought so that we would never go back to a world where a Black child’s life could be taken without consequence. And yet here we are. We cannot afford to forget. We cannot afford to be comfortable. We cannot afford to stop making good trouble. Unavoidable truth. Often untold.
