    Trey’s Table Episode 420: Mad Men and Race

    Mad Men is one of the greatest dramas ever made. But who got interiority — and who didn’t? In this episode of Trey’s Table, I break down every major Black character on Mad Men and explore why so many felt underdeveloped despite the show’s brilliance. You can love great art and still critique its blind spots. 🎙️ Link in bio. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/0... #PrestigeTV #MadMen #TheWire #TVAnalysis #BlackRepresentation #MediaCriticism

    Trey’s Table Episode 419: Thaddeus Stevens

    What if Reconstruction had gone differently? In the latest episode of Trey’s Table, let’s take a deep dive into the life and legacy of Thaddeus Stevens — one of the most radical and fearless champions of Black freedom in American history. After the Civil War, Stevens didn’t just believe in ending slavery. He believed in economic justice. He proposed confiscating land from former Confederates — the very plantations where enslaved people had labored for generations — and redistributing that land to newly freed Black families. Not charity. Not temporary relief. Ownership. Stevens understood something many still struggle to admit: freedom without land, without capital, without economic power is incomplete. While others were satisfied with emancipation on paper, Stevens was fighting for transformation in reality. In this episode, we explore: •Why Stevens believed land redistribution was essential to true freedom •The political backlash he faced •How his proposal was defeated •And how America might look different today if his vision had been realized Reconstruction wasn’t just about rebuilding the South. It was about redefining democracy. And Stevens was willing to go further than almost anyone else. 🎙️ Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. 🔗 Link in bio. #TreysTable #BlackHistory #Reconstruction #ThaddeusStevens #40AcresAndAMule #AmericanHistory #EconomicJustice #CivilWarHistory #HiddenHistory

    Trey’s Table Episode 417: Callie House: A True American Hero

    Before there was a modern reparations movement… Before there were hashtags… There was Callie House. In the early 1900s, Callie House helped organize hundreds of thousands of formerly enslaved people to demand pensions from the U.S. government for the labor stolen from them. And what did the government do? They prosecuted her. They sent her to federal prison. This week on Trey’s Table, I tell the story of one of the most courageous — and overlooked — activists in American history. Her fight for reparations didn’t start in a think tank. It started in Black communities across the South. Her name was Callie House. And she refused to be silent. 🎙️ Listen now. 🔗 Link in bio. #CallieHouse #BlackHistory #Reparations #TreyTable #HiddenHistory #AfricanAmericanHistory

    Trey’s Table Episode 416: CR Patterson, Son, & Company

    THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF BLACK AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP The American automobile industry is typically taught as the story of white industrialists—Ford, Dodge, Chrysler. But in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, African Americans were deeply involved in: •Carriage manufacturing •Automotive repair •Independent design •Regional vehicle production Several Black entrepreneurs attempted to start automobile companies or related manufacturing businesses. Most failed—not because of lack of skill or vision—but because of: •Racist banking practices •Denial of business loans •Restricted access to materials •A segregated economy designed to keep Black businesses small Only one Black-owned automobile manufacturer truly broke through and produced cars at scale. That man was C.R. Patterson.

    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.
