Why Venezuela Matters for Black Folks

Send us a text Trump's attacks on Venezuela are an attempt to terrorize attempts to resist white supremacy worldwide. In this episode, LBS political commentator Lawrence Grandpre and Director of Public Policy Dayvon Love discuss the history of Venezuela, deconstruct the mythology of the US striking Venezuela to fight a “dictatorship,” examine why we must look beyond oil as an explanation for this violence, and how we must resist attempts for Democrats to triangulate the center on questions of military funding in the aftermath of this violence.

The White Liberals Keep the Score: An African Centered Critique of The Body Keeps the Score (Part 2)

Send us a text In this episode, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle Director of Research, Lawrence Grandpre, critiques the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) framework, showing how it centers Eurocentric norms of trauma—focusing on individual and family experiences—while neglecting African-centered views of cultural and political trauma. We discuss how institutional responses to ACEs in Black communities often blame the community and rely on clinical interventions, instead of addressing the collective conditions of oppression that lead to childhood trauma. Drawing on The Body Keeps the Score, we argue that trauma-informed approaches can reflect the politics of whiteness, encouraging children to pathologize their parents rather than seeing them as victims of racialized oppression. We also examine troubling elements in trauma solutions, such as partnerships with police and reactionary martial arts training, and how childhood trauma assessments have been used to justify predictive policing against Black youth. Ultimately, we reveal how the ACEs framework risks pathologizing Black communities under the guise of liberatory politics, echoing stereotypes from the Progressive Eugenics Movement. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of revolutionary body movements, like Capoeira Angola, and social movements in fostering the collective agency needed to move beyond trauma-informed politics.

Black Nationalism, Pan-Africanism and Zionism. Reflecting on Ta-Nehisi Coates's "The Message"

Send us a text In the Black radical tradition, critiques of Nationalism as inherently violent have clashed with recognition of the importance of national liberation movements and the desire for self-determination of oppressed people. Ta-Nehisi Coats grapples with this in his book The Message, grappling with being raised in a Pan-Africanist household and have an emotional return to Africa with the reality that nationalist abstractions have been a tool for violent conquest of land by the Zionist political regime in Israel. In this episode Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, Director of Public Policy Dayvon Love and Director of Research Lawrence Grandpre look at the theme's of nationalism and Zionism in The Message, arguing that in addition to Pan African emotional attachments to Africa, there are material cultural and political systems that studying adds to the concrete liberation work for Black people. Using examples from material and public health in ancient African civilizations, they show that study of the African past reveals practices that address the problems of Black communities in the here and now. Pan Africanism gives lessons we can use to Far from Black Nationalism replicating the flaws of Zionism, they look at the theory and practice of Pan-Africanism to reveal its consistent anti-Zionist work, rejecting academic and liberal caricatures of Pan-Africanism and Black Nationalism as an immature and inherently violent ideology.

Analysing The Alliance of Sahel States- Pan African Praxis Beyond Traoré

Send us a text The Alliance of the Sahel states has sent shock waves through the western world, raising the possiblity of anti-imperialist Pan-African block. While this movement has exploded online through the focus on the charismatic Burkino Faso leader Ibrahim Traoré, in this episode we seek to engage what is happening in the Sahel beyond just him. In this interview between LBS’s Dayvon Love and Lawrence Grandpre, we discuss the history of the Sahel and how these states rose up and joined in alliance in the face of the failures of Western troops to ensure security, in addition to anger at Western economic domination. We look at how the focus on Traore has obscured the important work happening in Niger and Mali. Finally, we focus on how Pan-Afrikanist in the west must materially support concrete Pan-Afrikan state building functions like water and energy and not get stuck in romantic hero worship of Traoré.

Black Women & Class Politics in Baltimore

Send us a text In this episode, MJ and Rasheem explore the legacy and continued relevance of poor Black women's activism in Baltimore, focusing on housing justice and welfare rights. Drawing on Rhonda Y. Williams’ seminal article, “We’re Tired of Being Treated Like Dogs,” the hosts delve into the political lives of Black women who mobilized against institutional neglect and economic exploitation from the 1960s to the present. The conversation centers on the historical and grassroots efforts of Black women like Margaret McCarty and Rev. Annie Chambers, who turned personal struggle into collective resistance. Organizations like U-JOIN (Union for Jobs or Income Now) and Mother Rescuers from Poverty emerged from East Baltimore’s neighborhoods and housing complexes such as Murphy Homes, O’Donnell Heights, and Gilmore Homes—communities marked by poverty but rich in organizing tradition. Rasheem details how federal surveillance, welfare fraud prosecutions, and slumlord neglect were met with tenant strikes, welfare marches, and legislative advocacy. Leaders challenged both structural racism and class exploitation, drawing on a Black Radical Tradition that was grassroots-based, anti-capitalist, and unapologetically of the people. Key locations such as North Gay Street and Pennsylvania Avenue serve as landmarks of resistance, while institutions like the Soul School became spaces of political education. The episode also touches on national allies like CORE and speakers such as Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who amplified the local struggle on a national stage. MJ and Rasheem conclude by reflecting on what today’s organizers can learn from this era: the power of coalition-building, the necessity of political independence, and the importance of reclaiming radical traditions that center the voices of poor Black women in the fight for housing, dignity, and justice. Main Themes: Housing activism as a form of defense of home and self The central role of Black women in welfare rights organizing Tension between Black capitalism and Black radical politics Political consciousness and grassroots leadership among poor communities Lessons for contemporary housing and labor justice movements in Baltimore Support the show In Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.
