In Class with Carr

In February of 2021, Karen Hunter asked Greg Carr, "Can I press record?" during a private discussion on Ida B. Wells. That kicked off what would become "In Class with Carr," a global phenomenon featuring the People's Professor Dr. Greg Carr.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 251: "Doing Things Together Comes Naturally!"

    “As the world braced for intensifying international conflicts between countries, corporations and cultural movements, the final week of 2024 also saw a notable intensification of class conflict within the ranks of the nativist MAGA movement, as tensions grew between its controlling elites and its increasingly vocal white nationalist base. Often referred to as a “MAGA Civil War,” this internal rift was fueled by provocative statements from figures like “President” Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, both immigrants who made pro-immigrant comments in conflict with millions of MAGA nativists. This turmoil exposes the fragility of what is too often perceived as a unified coalition of ideological and cultural allies. In reality, this fragile alliance, however toxic and harmful, is held together by fear, hatred, and anxiety rather than deeply shared values of cooperation and shared responsibility. In contrast, the Kwanzaa season—a time for Pan African solidarity and Black cultural reflection—presents an alternative vision of unity at family, community, national and international levels. During this period, tensions between Social Structure and Governance were laid bare in symbolic convergences such as the live-streamed “Beyoncé Bowl” on Christmas Day. This moment of Cultural Meaning-Making highlighted Africana Ways of Knowing, with Knowles-Carter continuing her commitment to feeding Africana Movement and Memory. While MAGA followers grapple with the fracturing and divisive consequences of their illusory politics of white nativism, Kwanzaa offers powerful reminders that Africana Ways of Knowing emphasize collective work and responsibility. Can we overwhelm impulses to search for differences among ourselves with a rededication to the principle of Ujima, understanding that working together for the common good is essential to survival and progress?” —Dr. Car JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes are held live with a live chat.

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 250: "The More Things Change..."

    2024 is ending with Intensifying nationalist and populist movements capturing more electorates and elected officials in key countries around the world. In the US, the Republican Party is no exception, its intensifying battles between oligarchs and policymakers enabled by white nationalism previewing what is in store for the general US population in 2025. Meanwhile, the global social structure moves inexorably toward an increasingly multipolar world system. While specifics will no doubt hold some surprises, what will remain the same in many countries is a fight over resources and policy making based on racial and class-based logics. The more things change in this deteriorating world system, the more these essential fights will reveal themselves to be the same. Meanwhile, local governance formations across the world continue to search for different and better ways of building community and resisting systemic human oppression. The center of racial oppression logics continues to deteriorate ”in the wake.” Several recent applications of Science and Technology in the form of museum exhibits evoke the potential to reveal enduring Ways of Knowing through acts of Cultural Meaning-Making that focus our attention on unbroken acts of Movement and Memory in service of answering the question, “How do it free Us?” The 250th session of In Class With Carr uses points of entry from two of these exhibits—“Flight into Egypt” at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and “In Slavery’s Wake” at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture—to reflect on key lessons learned in our efforts to harness the momentum of African memory as a tool for achieving and maintaining liberation as we enter our fifth year of collective work. Are these exhibits concessions, embraces or merely a shuffling of modalities without displacing hierarchies of Black institutional subordination? Does not whiteness remain “in charge,” now performing “inclusion” while the lives of those who resist it remain unchanged except when they achieve their own acts of Kujichagulia, of self-determination? If the answer is yes, then these exhibits at best may suggest fruitful directions for that specific work. If that, wha,t if anything, will change as a result of their mounting? Can anything? Can artistic imaginings, displays, change ourselves, change the world? Or the more things change will they remain the same?

    In Class with Carr, Ep. 248: “Play the Game or Tell the Truth?”

    December 5th marked the centennial birthday of Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe of Azania [South Africa], the revolutionary Pan Africanist founder of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania and one of the most impactful thinkers, organizers and voices of the 20th century. The day was marked by retrospectives in South Africa and in other places across the world, including at Sankofa Video and Books in Washington, DC. But Sobukwe has not been remembered as he should anywhere, including in his home country. There has been a long and dedicated attempt by South Africa to erase his memory and not fully integrate him at the deepest and most enduring levels of state memory. His crime? Unwavering, principled struggle for Africa and Africans, in service of greater humanity. Can this type of stance ever not be met with opposition within African governance formations? What lessons can we learn from the example of Sobukwe that can be applied to our contemporary struggles to build a better society?  What happens when we choose to tell the truth, even as we play the game?
