In this video, Dr. Daniel Black discusses his book, ‘The Coming’. Dr. Black discusses the book's origins, the reception it has received, and his thoughts on the current state of the world.

[@MochaManSpirit]

Dr. Black clearly articulates the reasons we NEED our elders. We need their memories, stories, laughter and tears. We don’t need to stand on their shoulders but put ourselves on the roads they paved for US!!!

[@avisdoctor6395]

Dr. Black is off the charts🎉how refreshing to hear him talk and get excited ❤

[@Devinmcallister]

Dr. Black is one of those people you never meet two of. So happy you have him on Prof. Hunter.

[@abenawilliams6623]

Teach the word. Beautiful ❤️

[@tiffanyevans8084]

Tears, literal tears...I'm a student of Africana Studies at Rutgers Newark. Thank you Prof. Hunter for introducing Dr. Black to me. I will be purchasing "The Coming" today!

[@SJ-ve1my]

Get ready for more tears. This book will likely take me longer to read because his words are so powerful and filled with emotion that tears just flow.

[@Hayes_in_Environment]

Amazing rt?! Also an RU grad and social work instructor at East Carolina University 🥰

[@ladonnabouldin8141]

Speak! Speak! Speak! You betta speak! Dr. Daniel Black Thank You! And Thank You ancestors!!

[@dlynnmcgregor4244]

I have been living under a rock. Dr. Daniel Black‼️ SMH the power and freedom in his words. Thank you, Professor Hunter.

[@GrandPrizeFitnesAJAY]

Wow! That's my professor from college (Morehouse). He always expected more from me and I thank him today for that. Thank you DR. BLACK! 😊

[@shrimp613]

I was lucky enough to be in Dr Black's class as a 17yr old, and I just wish I understood his message then as I do now. He poured so much into us but at the time I couldn't see it. Now years down the road it's clear as day. He made us sing all of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' every morning. He was laying a foundation to help mold what was coming, and not just coming for me. Highly doubt he remembers me, but I'll never for get him.

[@kimberlylassiter545]

WOW! NO WORDS!

[@karenl7786]

"I didn't write the book for economic gains, I wrote it for spiritual gains and the spirits will then pay me." Say that! Redefine purpose 👊🏽

[@myles26]

Bruhhhh... When that brotha said "I want us to look at EACH OTHER and say, 'Dear God, I glorify you'" ... I just did a praise dance down the hallway!!!

[@KarenHunterShow]

this was everything!

[@myles26]

@@KarenHunterShow wasn't it tho!

[@mkicks2u332]

This hit something way down in my soul! The way she is looking back at him as he's saying this, the line of Divinity running between them is so clear and palpable. Renewed my hope and spirit today!!

[@gorgeous814]

All I can say is, wow!!! This show was truly enlightening and liberating. Thank you!!!

[@KarenHunterShow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darniusterix5774]

Power, power, POWER! This space is birthing power in multiple spaces, minds, and hearts! We comin'

[@akaziaj]

So glad to Dr. Black getting the shine and flowers he deserves. 🌞💐 Thx you Professor Hunter.

[@insomnia9999]

My copy just came in the mail. My friend Darryl told me about it and had me watch this video. This gave me chills!

[@samcox443]

Made me hum a few bars of “Take Me To The Water”, let me know I was thinking correctly concerning doing my best to give back and lift up those who are to carry on. It seems that Dr. Black understands that as the original humans to walk this earth we have a spiritual connection to the universe that few can fathom and that is what allows us to consistently make a way out of no way.

[@brendastuart4924]

I am overwhelmed with this most sophisticated mindset & world position of our people. I must purchase the book THE COMING ! "This is deep thought"

[@touroujrara]

Thanks

[@Nisa1971]

"Don't just call the words!" Granma knew the millions of ancestors gifts resided within Dr. Black. ❤🖤💚

[@battlescorn]

"C'mon Somebody!"

[@MariaAlvarez-mn9nd]

Dr. Black I hear you… and as a Black woman born in Cuba bound by that ancestral force, I am forever reminded of who “I am”, the roots of my existence (not necessarily where I was born), but rather where we ended. And, these belief systems that we carry and pass on generationally represent that superpower we seldom know or acknowledge. I believe that in the middle passage these different groups of people enjoined their beliefs, or rather their existence as one to not only survive the journey but to survive on land! I read the Middle Passage in college, but this book The Coming, has to be added to my reading cannon.

[@jrg6284]

Wow Dr. Black is preaching to me here!!🙌🏽

[@bevelynhunter7382]

MyMyMy ...I leaped with a shout from heaven when Dr. Black commissioned our eyes to remain open when we pray so that we can see God in our fellow human BEings ...MyMyMy 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 ❤️ Then I heard divinity ask, "Who are We"?

[@899tamara]

Dear Karen, wow wow wow! This was incredible. Thank you for having Dr. Black on your show. What a gift to humanity and a keeper of the treasure. Bought the book and looking forward to more diamonds 💎 from you.

[@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk]

Karen, I must tell you of my sincere appreciation for the introduction to Dr. Black.

[@KarenHunterShow]

my sincere pleasure.

[@kennethdavis5309]

We must do a spiritual math with in our lives add subtract then multiply greatness we all are heirs of a spirit that is never to be held captive in our minds. Thanks for the show.

[@KarenHunterShow]

love that

[@BabaOlaitan]

Dr. KAREN HUNTER you have done the work. You have not received your credit yet because we sometimes fail to acknowledge who is doing what for our people. When you come to the picnic you are Dr. Hunter!

[@adwoamedusausi2233]

I feel truly blessed within my soul every time Dr. Black speaks. His words reverberate within my bones and I just have to rock back and forth.

[@akaziaj]

Freedom is a constant struggle. Luchamous continua.

[@kissoflove14]

SIR!!!! When Dr. Black said "...most of us belive in a god that is committed to black oppression..." That right there. THANK YOU Prof Hunter for this opportunity to hear these words.

[@staceytolliver2510]

No

[@ajaatwood5650]

I echo other comments. Tears streaming down my face full of joy. Getting this book today. 🙏🏾

[@lindacoleman2014]

I Love Professor Hunter smile when you see her absorbing the information

[@rsingh2022]

I was introduced to Dr. Black, a couple of years ago, when he and Dr. Carr exchanged dialogue on Elevate Atlanta. I burst into tears listening to these beautiful minds providing my spirit with nourishment. I have loved this brotha ever since! Each day that goes by, each breadcrumb I consume, strengthens my blackness exponentially, as I continue embracing my evolution in this revolution! And Prof. Hunter, you may not be a "Doctor" by title, but you have definitely been doing the work of one! This is the healing we need as a people--as human beings, period! I am glad that forces, like Dr. Black, Dr. Carr, yourself, and many others exist in this space; an inspiration for us to navigate through, and, ultimately, combat the chaos! Thank you! 😢

[@JSB-Polymath]

Dr. Black & Prof. Hunter - When we read this book for Knubia's Africana Studies, I got it at the last minute on Kindle. The words were SO POWERFUL that even the voice of that automated white dude couldn't quench the power. And a few times, I had to turn him off, sit down and read it for myself. After what you said about your Grandmother here, we know now why the cadence goes through us. It's a shoutin' book! Stay blessed.

[@theanalyzer3838]

Beautiful expression, we have missed how expensive black lives are-Dr. Black. I am with you Dr. Hunter, digesting the journey of our ancestors and the gravity of their trials is heart wrenching. Like you I want to hear something positive, but to grow we have to revisit our ancestors ' journey, our journey. You've encouraged me to read and think deeply. Thank you!!!

[@sharesewillis3951]

So good to see and hear my master’s thesis professor. This conversation took me right back to class at Clark Atlanta, listening to Dr. Black telling us that Africans have always spiritual and that we don’t need to wait for Sunday to be spiritual. Thank you for always reminding us of who we are, Dr. Black. Ms. Hunter, thank you for working on the project of healing our people.

[@p.w.7493]

You're so right, Prof. Hunter, our ancestors shared more that ships sailing on water! They shared "ONENESS"!! That was a powerfully self-affirming statement and it is exactly as you've stated!! I've never heard of this brotha, Dr. Daniel Black, but this book he has written, "The Coming" is a must read!! His language and presence is so powerful and convey the confidence that affirms to us that we're a very SPECIAL people!!🙏🏿🖤💯

[@MadameGwG]

Wow, I need to hear more from him. Thank you, Prof. Hunter for these deep conversations. The more I hear, the more I want.

[@nazimrashid2935]

Karen, my spirit was following Dr Black every step of the way. When he was saying, basically to himself, that he had to calm himself down, I understood what he meant. You asked him, "Why?" This is a church tradition where when the 'spirit' starts to overwhelm you, you have to calm yourself down or the spirit will overtake you and then the only thing you can do is shout and give testimony to God. So, at that stage, you can't talk intelligently only emotionally, THIS is why you have to tell yourself to calm down so you can continue to dialogue intelligently. I was right with him and understood him. I was brought up in the black Baptist church and I understood the traditions, so I followed Dr. Black excitedly.

[@muatagarai1593]

I just happened to order a copy of The Coming for each of my sisters today. For the village. 😊

[@Blackphyre]

Whew! He said "I ain't worried about it being a household name, as much as it becoming a village name". Whew!

[@helenmccroskey2847]

Dr. Black, you are a divine vessel! I am so glad that I was introduced to you in Knubia. “Serving a god, that believes in our oppression.”😊

[@b.marielo9564]

I just bought the book. Thank you Prof. Hunter.

[@DCBrown005]

I need more of this conversation... Brilliant!!!!

[@sharondukes863]

Wow!!! That's Powerful Teaching! Thank You, Dr Daniel Black and Dr Karen Hunter!

[@elleemmejaye7305]

Dr. Black came through with a sho’nuff word! Thank you for sharing this wonderful gem. Adding his book to my list.

[@danahart3082]

THIS! I've shared it with my children, siblings, friends... I've been shouting throughout and pacing. THIS. HERE. Thank you for this interview. Every word. 🥰 Sunday I was feeling heavy about Tyre Nichols so I went to the riverfront, the water, to shake it. I brought The Coming with me and read the first part aloud at the water's edge. And I felt better. Thank you for asking the ancestors for an offering. I receive it and I am grateful.

[@karengriffin5894]

Good God!!! Just listened... I want us to stop praying with our eyes closed and looking down". I want us to pray looking at each other into our souls" Come on Now!!!

[@phdreed]

Baba Black!!! Transformation Always comes from the few!

[@nta699]

What, wow! The paradigmatic nature of his words. I love it. Powerful.

[@Hayes_in_Environment]

Beautiful dialogue!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@Blackphyre]

He said "I didn't do it for economic gain, I do it for spiritual gain, and then the spirits will pay me"! WHHHEEEEEEEEWWWW!!! I souted on that one- and I don't shout!! Lol!

[@kubuniafrique4334]

I read this in a few hours...strengthened my. Mind body and soul. Amen Ra!

[@carolynfrink5569]

Rhythmic inheritance... just listening to Dr. Black is a spiritual experience! I have his book The Comming and can't wait to experience his brilliant work! Thank you, Professor Hunter, for connecting us with these beautiful representations of Black Excellence and Greatness! ASE'

And this is just an appetizer ❤️ .... #knubia

[@nassareenrahman2280]

My God!... Praying into the eyes of one and other is deeply profound. Excellent Talk here....as always. Love you and Thank you ♥️🖤💚

[@KarenHunterShow]

YES! This just hit different.

[@missnickiec2]

Karen Hunter, There are no words or ways enough to thank you for the gift that is the entirety of you. Your mindfulness and actions contribute to the overflow of my soul. Dr. Black, I am finally able to purchase one of your books and I ordered The Coming, it will arrive after my pre-order of Black on Black will arrive tomorrow. I am going through some things right now, the love I felt from the two of you is a nourishing balm to my battered spirit.

[@KarenHunterShow]

this is beautiful.

[@ifeford6646]

Karen, I am so happy you posted this. I missed the live show. Dr. Black is the truth. He speaks just like he writes. I'll be sharing this clip with those I think need to see and hear it. ❤🖤💚

[@Missy714]

Excellent!

[@startpage717]

Dr. Black Dr. Black Dr. Black, thank you, Professor (this was not on my notification. I just happened to be looking scrolling and saw this today but this was 4 months ago?)

[@cynthialangley7338]

Great discussion. It’s all about rebirth, remembering, and re-empowerment. Beautiful guest. Thank you.

[@rah6677]

Prof. Hunter and Dr. Black, thank you both for another enlightened experience. I have always felt that I carry the pain, sadness, strength, courage and will to survive given to us by our ANCESTORS within me. It is not a burden, but an HONOR that I am a DESCENDANT of our ANCESTORS who have more than proven our SPIRITUALITY and STRENGTH! Both of you are perfect examples of why CRT is being banned throughout the United States. Should many of us begin to reaffirm our HERITAGE, things will begin to change mentally for African Americans collectively. I truly believe that. The subliminal oppression has gotten so many caught up in a horrible state of mind.

[@ecatheatre86]

I didn't know I was about to have church all by myself on this KZbin street but, LIFE! Blessings, gifts and calming this was. Cuz the repetition of the cray-cray as is looming in the news requires an antidote like this book illuminates. My wig has been snatched, my pearls clutched and I'm here for it.

[@intherapture]

So rich and necessary a conversation! We need to remember who we actually are 🙏🏾. Shake the proverbial table of our minds, hearts and spirit 🙌🏾. Thank you both so much

[@myles26]

And i just bought both books!

[@1maggotbrain]

The respect “oozing” in this powerful conversation was monumental, I ordered Book yesterday😊

[@ValerieREAL1]

Omgee!!! I love him. Why have I not known him before now??? Thank you for tge introduction, Dr. Hunter.

[@iferollins4686]

Bowled over! Tia Fuller introduced me to Dr. Black and I shared, shared, shared. But I didn’t make the purchase until now

[@cinet3544]

Powerful ❤

[@ballardvibes]

This a touchy statement but when he explained his explanation of god, I was all about it. For him to play the piano at church every week and to have this position on god, “The Coming” truly has a major new meaning for Me. Not sure how he meant it, but I truly received it as to how how I thought he meant it. I remain inspired each time I listen with intention. ❤️

[@KarenHunterShow]

you received it how YOU needed it. Love it.

[@mmooremcneil9061]

I am so looking forward to the clean glasses of water that Dr Black will be pouring, thanks to your vision Prof Hunter and Dr Carr. I have been searching for and listening to all things Dr Black and am about to re-read The Coming 🖤

[@chasefasten4120]

I have been challenged recently to reconcile a question I had from my youth concerning what I have been taught about heaven and what I feel about heaven. I love the idea of an innate knowledge that I will move to another plane where I am empowered to do greater works.

[@EarCandycom]

[@Messager1906]

Teach teacher.

[@Taryn857]

Thank you for elaborating that us elders are allowing many of our ill minded youth to direct our daily life journey. Too many of us over 50 age folks are sitting back & allowing that demographic demonstrating unhealthy mindset & behavior that is tearing down our past centuries progressive contributions .

Just heard the whole interview and feel like I've been rebaptised. Yoruba Jesus. He gave me a whole new way to see God.

[@mikki6341]

Professor Karen, I understand Dr. Black to my soul. The act of praying while looking at another sister or brother is EXACTLY what I did while I was younger and told to stop. I knew this was the way to pray!!! Im awestruck bc I was right!!!😍😍
