    Trey’s Table Episode 415: Vernon Johns

    Before there was Dr. King… there was Vernon Johns. The fearless preacher who refused to stay silent. The strategist who challenged segregation head-on. The man who saw greatness in a young pastor named Martin Luther King Jr. History remembers the movement. But it almost forgot the man who lit the match. 🎙️ New episode of Trey’s Table out now.

    Trey’s Table Episode 414: Sylvia Mendez

    Before Brown v. Board… there was Sylvia Mendez. An 8-year-old girl in California helped desegregate schools 7 years earlier. Her family sued four school districts. They won in federal court. And the legal strategy later helped shape Brown. Most of us were never taught this story. That’s why we tell it. 🎙️ New episode of Trey’s Table out now. #HiddenHistory #CivilRights #TreysTable

    Trey’s Table Episode 413: Who Tells Your Story?

    Hot take: Ulysses S. Grant deserves a spot on Mount Rushmore. Not just because he won the Civil War. Because as president, he: • Pushed the 15th Amendment • Crushed the Ku Klux Klan • Created the Department of Justice • Used federal power to protect Black citizens Before the 1960s… Before the Civil Rights Movement… Grant was already enforcing civil rights. Maybe it’s time to add some new faces to Mount Rushmore and get rid of a few. 🎙️ New episode of Trey’s Table out now.

    Trey’s Table Episode 411: Victor Green

    Before the civil rights movement forced America to change, Black Americans had to protect themselves on the road. Today on Trey’s Table, we’re talking about Victor GREEN—the man who created the Green Book, a survival guide that helped Black families travel safely through segregation. This is a story about ingenuity, dignity, and the quiet resistance that kept people alive. #treystable #blackpodcasts #blackhistory

    Trey’s Table Episode 410: That Dating App

    Some of the wealthiest women in 19th- and early-20th-century England built their fortunes on Caribbean slavery. That wealth didn’t just buy land and luxury — it made them highly sought-after wives. British men married into slavery money, and entire families secured status, estates, and political power because enslaved Africans had already paid the price. In this episode of Trey’s Table, we unpack how slavery shaped wealth, gender, and marriage in Britain — long after abolition. 🎙️ New episode out now. #TreysTable #HiddenHistory #BritishSlavery #Heiresses #WomenAndHistory #WealthAndPower #ColonialLegacy #UntoldStories #BlackHistoryGlobal #EmpireAndInequality

    Trey’s Table Episode 408: The Blueprint Speech

    Dr. King gave more than just “I Have a Dream.” He gave us a Blueprint for how to live. In today’s episode of Trey’s Table, I dive into one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most powerful—and least talked about—speeches: the “Blueprint” speech. In it, King challenges us to build our lives on values that last: dignity, purpose, service, and moral courage. This isn’t just history. It’s a guide for right now. Tap in to hear why this speech still matters—and why it may be one of King’s most important messages. 🎙️ New episode out now 📲 Available wherever you get your podcasts #TreysTable #MLK #TheBlueprint #BlackHistory #CivilRights #PurposeDriven #DrKing #HistoryMatters #BlackVoices #PodcastLife https://youtu.be/ZmtOGXreTOU?s...
