    In Class with Carr, Ep. 313: Free the Mind/Free the Land!

    As Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s war against the world enhances regional and global threats to the planet, this week’s session of In Class With Carr centers community self-determination as a strategy for both resisting oppression and changing the deteriorating Social Structure of the Modern World System. Drawing on the momentum of memory rooted in living movement institutions, we pose a central question: How do we free our minds so that we can liberate our spaces? Answering that question requires challenging the illusion of inevitability under a dying empire. It means building independent institutions while also reimagining shared spaces in order to remake them, infusing them with our Governance protocols and Ways of Knowing, all in our collective interest. Central to this work is the power of storytelling to restore collective memory, cultivate disciplined political clarity and strengthen global solidarity—transforming hope into collective positive action.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 312: “Slavemasters Without Slaves"

    As we close the final day of Blackest History Month, the governments of the United States and Israel have declared war on Iran, an action that casts both countries as pariah states and threatens the lives and security of everyone in those three countries and beyond. At the same time, doomed efforts by predatory monied interests to shape and control mass media narratives and images are intensifying. Filmmaker Haile Gerima has described narratives as scalpels that cut into the center of our minds and consciousness. The struggle of liberation-oriented Governance formations against an increasingly fragile contemporary global Social Structure, then, is first and foremost, a clash between forces determined to reduce humanity to servitude and people who refuse to submit. What happens when increasingly desperate would-be masters can no longer control those they seek to dominate? Are you a member of Knarrative?

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 311: Black Power in Action: The Meaning of Jesse Jackson

    On February 17, 2026, Jesse Louis Jackson made transition at 84, marking a watershed chapter in four generations of African struggle for US and global power. Emerging from Africana Governance formations, Jackson leveraged two currencies—voter power and consumer power—to push US domestic and global Social Structures to have to negotiate with the organized oppressed. From Operations Breadbasket and PUSH to Rainbow Coalition Presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988, Jackson utilized and tested every tactic available to oppressed people confronting entrenched Social Structures. In Class With Carr 311 interprets the meaning of Jackson’s life and work as a case study in the possibilities and limits of Black self-determination, asking what it reveals about today’s fragile and reshaping political order and what understanding him, it and ourselves demands of us now.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 310: “Slaves Without Masters"

    This second session of Blackest History Month centers on questions of freedom and liberty. What conditions define freedom? How is freedom related to self-definition, both individually and collectively? As we continue exploring freedom, governance, and memory in the Semiquincentennial year of the United States, today’s session marks Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday and the close of the original “Negro History Week.” Applying the Africana Studies Conceptual Categories Framework to struggles over Philadelphia’s President’s House Historical Site and related subjects, we examine internal and external intellectual warfare in a moment of accelerating U.S. imperial decline. The path forward depends on whether we choose freedom—or remain slaves without masters. Are you a member of Knarrative?

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 309: “Blackest History Month I: Semi-quincentennial Wars”

    On February 7, 1926, National Negro History Week was first observed. This week, we frame Blackest History Month as a Governance ritual against the coming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, not as celebration but as struggle—over memory, power, and education. Coming from this weekend’s “Blackprint 20” Conference in Philadelphia, we trace recurring conflicts from 1776 to 1976 to the present: Social Structure spectacle versus Movement and Memory; the archive versus living intergenerational transmission; and curriculum as Governance protocol beyond simple skill development. White supremacy cannot coexist with African self-determination, equity or any other form of full beingness. Rituals that mark anniversaries must activate memory into action, revealing intellectual warfare over history, schooling, and national identity in a convulsing settler state.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 308: Black History in Times of Trouble

    This week’s In Class With Carr with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, launches this year’s Blackest History Month, affirming that African education is not—and has never been—merely a response to domination, but the transmission of enduring cultural coherence across generations. Using the Africana Studies Conceptual Categories, we juxtapose the latest intellectual warfare over the National Park Service’s President’s House site in Philadelphia, White nationalist attacks on expression and global political shifts with African-centered thinking to discuss how power, knowledge, and memory operate across time and space. We frame February as a recommitment to elevating African Ways of Knowing—cumulative, communal, and grounded in a long-view genealogy that refuses disappearance and insists on continuity.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 307: Against Disassociation

    This week on In Class with Carr, Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter turn to the geopolitical drama unfolding at Davos and the continued Trump-era decline of U.S. global authority—marked by a disassociative political posture that separates power from consequence and rhetoric from reality, deepening both global and domestic fractures. In this moment of renegotiating global and local Social Structures, Africana Studies must reassert its role as both discipline and Governance refuge. Movement and Memory converge in the birthday of pioneering bibliophile and institution builder Arturo Alfonso Schomburg and the transition of master teacher and researcher Dr. Charles Sumner Finch (1948–2026),whose lives modeled study as resistance as Ways of Knowing, centering the search for clarity as method and grounding practice amid disassociative conditions.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 306: "New World Order"

    We enter episode 306 of In Class with Carr with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, as the US cannibalizes its arrangements through increasingly absurdist white nativism and greed driven global destabilization, Social Structures are rapidly reorganizing. Drawing on reminders from figures such as Patrice Lumumba and Martin Luther King Jr., we recall that world orders do not announce themselves into existence—they are made, resisted, and ultimately decided by the people who survive them.
