In this week’s segment we hear about how a tornado impacted the Black community of St. Louis, which already suffered as a result of decades of destructive public policy. But first we discuss Palestine solidarity and the Global March to Gaza with a South African activist.
Our guest is Nkosi Mandela. He is the tribal chief of the Mvezo Traditional Council and the grandson of Nelson Mandela. He joins us from Johannesburg to discuss his work in solidarity with Palestine, and the upcoming March to Gaza, an independent movement whose goal is to bring thousands of people to the Rafah crossing in Egypt and negotiate a plan to open it, so that the people of Gaza can receive needed aid, after weeks of being deprived of food and medicine by the Israeli government.
Our guest is Christopher Gladney. He is president of the Northside Independent Neighborhood Association in St. Louis, Missouri. His community was struck by a tornado on May 16, 2025 and he joins us from St. Louis to discuss not only the impact of a natural disaster but how that community struggled due to official government policies which have had years of negative impact on Black people.
