Native Land Pod

In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home. In each episode, Angela, Bakari, and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls. Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.    Talk to us: Angela Rye @angelarye Andrew Gillum @andrewgillum Bakari Sellers @bakarisellers

    Mississippi’s A.G. Says 1-Year-Old Shot by Police was Justified | Angela Rye SoloPod

    Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer.    The A.G.’s office said the use of force was “justified” since the officer felt threatened, alleging that the child’s mother was in  a vehicle driving toward them. The Senatobia police have not released any footage from the event.    READ MORE: https://www.mississippifreepress.org/police-shooting-of-1-year-old-kohen-wiley-was-justified-mississippi-attorney-general-says/ Want to ask Angela a question?
