In Class with Carr, Ep. 46: What's the True Legacy of MLK?

[@samuelaaron5273]

I'm giving my flowers to Professor Hunter and Dr Carr we will never forget you!

[@latress2871]

I can't find words to describe Dr. Carr. He's the epitome of knowledge, excellence and fearlessness. He is he definition of blackness. Thank you!

[@middlepassage7023]

it was John Branca, Jackson's attorney who purchased the Beatles catalog on his behalf for $47.5 million. Included in that catalog was Little Richard's song portfolio that the Beatles had bought out from under him years before. There's a really sweet story regarding how Jackson restored Richard's music back to him as a gift.

[@alfreddavis2123]

Thank you for my fix! This forum should be accredited so college credit can be given and YES I will gladly pay for it!

[@cheriperry5336]

Definitely! I had a pay subscription to the Hub.Global, and will happily invest in whatever next level knowledge/power-building platform Professor Hunter has cooking in the lab!:

[@einsteindarwin8756]

Great idea!

[@galenjones65]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. Thank God for my brilliant beautiful black Sister and Brother. Sunshine came over me in this class section. Love you both.💛💛💛💛💛

[@IndianasOwnDanaBlack]

There is a moment when Dr. Carr is teaching, and the spirit...you can define for yourself...hits him and the Divine takes over. We are all connected and I feel it every time you teach. After the explanation of "Lift Every Voice" I had to stop and take a breath.

[@mscici001]

Dr. Carr gets so EXCITED about teaching and learning. I love to see him excited🤗

[@greenbyrd3665]

If I heard nothing in today's class other than James Weldon Johnson's description of what it feels like to craft the perfect poem; it would have been worth it. Truly food for the soul. Thank you for this wonderful gift. Can't wait to hear more about the platform and how we can assist in making it happen!

[@jessicafields1726]

I just want to say I love you Ms. Karen and you Dr. Carr... you open my mind to be obligated to mental freedom! And to embrace the possibility to be part of a movement. Im a registered nurse who's contemplating politics or anything to help my people. IM SO INSPIRED. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[@Cneph1964]

Damn, damn, damn (Florida Evans) the Karen Hunter Show/Class is a must-see! I didn’t have the time to listen to the entire show, but I MADE time - I couldn’t stop. This space is special - thank you! And thank you for another book - May We Stand Forever. The discussion got me emotional. Looking forward to the “New School” or new space that you are creating.

[@miab4594]

[@jr9941]

You couldn't have described Dr. Carr any better!!!! Lol...

[@christoler3689]

The James Weldon Johnson dialogue by Dr Carr is masterful! All you can do is smile and grin in gratitude for being black.

[@p.w.7493]

Thanks, Dr. Karen Hunter and Dr. Greg Carr, for this informative lesson today! We talk about the legacy of our ancestors and yet, I can't help visualizing that when the history books of this century are written, you'll both be forward and center in the annals!! You're helping to cultivate, educate and encourage our people to excel and to remember that the blood of our ancestors flow through our veins!! These classes you hold and the books you share are helping to encourage the next generation of professionals in their journey of life!! Thank you both!!!💕💯

"Race conversations are about maintaining Whiteness" -Dr Carr Whew....

[@mzinformedinmotion1166]

It' true! The best part of reading is re-reading! You usually get a more deeper perspective on the content.

[@bishopjd2]

Thank you Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr for your wisdom, insight and instruction. This makes my Saturdays every week.

[@dennistaylor6342]

I couldn’t let the day end... without letting you know Professor Hunter. What an amazing class we had today. I even had one of my sons in class today. Today was a powerful class session. Can’t wait until next Saturday.

[@KarenHunterShow]

Love the family affair! Thank you.

[@TryOne1Ty]

OMG!!! When one is ready for a think right! Professor Hunter and Carr… So Happy and Grateful to be reconnected to community! Look forward to the level of learning that is destiny driven! Thank you

[@becoming_brendaIam]

To be able to articulate and show us the value of our history with ❤️ is powerful. We must be accountable and do more for ourselves 👏🏾. Change is hard and tough but we can do it‼️

[@cheriperry5336]

I am days late in completing listening to this session, but Dr. Carr's lesson on Lift Every Voice and Sing was a drop-the-mic presentation if there ever was one! Thank you both for this meal!

[@Brother-SP]

Back for my second rewatch/listen of the day. Dr. King's last book “Where Do We Go From Here” is a good way to get a real understanding of his politics. Peace to everyone who attended class today and every Saturday. Respect from the LBC ❤️🖤💚👊🏾

[@cheriperry5336]

I agree. Thanks, again, Karen Hunter! I purchased/read it after your discussion "This is Karen Hunter," yet another platform to which I am addicted!

[@michelebrown2872]

Karen enjoy listening to Greg Carr, hope you have your dialogue with him for a long time. Lots of History untold. Thank you

[@TheVtaylor123]

I am so grateful for this platform! Dr. Carr has such a plethora of knowledge. I am a kid in the candy store, taking it all in and I love every moment. Thank you Karen for bringing this space to learn.

[@brendawalker-bryant7798]

Selah!, Great thanks to both of you for educating me again and again!!

[@marlenethornton490]

Watching Dr. Carr, Professor Hunter, the Dr in the car with the earpiece on , the tech genius, and the intelligence on this platform makes it so understandable why there has been an assault to silence our race down throughout the ages. We are a resilient people. We are unstoppable. We have always been a threat because of our brainpower but even more so now because we are awakening to our utter brilliance. Thanks Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr for all you that you do. Because of this platform as well as others like it, those who want to thrive, can thrive.

[@taniaturner4885]

I am infinitely grateful for you, Dr.Carr. I kinda thought I was an aware person, but there is so much more to learn. I am soaking in all the knowledge I can and am aware of several things you guys are introducing. Again soo grateful. I would love to see a show addressing how do we live day to day in these States of America. United left off, as we’ve not even come close to that. I’m not comfortable living in my upper class white neighborhood anymore (and was racially profiled in my driveway), but don’t know where to go. Black urban Nieghborhoods have been gentrified and not very affordable. Not sure if I should even stay in the SOA cuz not sure if things will really ever change. Tired, exhausted and lacking a black persons daily living plan. I know this is a huge request. But I’m gaining all this knowledge, yet short of activism (which is good) don’t know how to “breath” here anymore.

[@clydejames554]

This class y’all have started are helping me find myself I got here hearing Mr. Greg on Rolland Martin’s show Thank You Ms. Hunter for using y’all gift to guide us forward to we’re they community grows

[@NeverLateEducate_]

DITTO!!! THIS IS HOW CHANGE BEGINS. LET'S NOT STOP THERE, REMEMBER THAT RABBIT HOLE DR. HUNTER SPEAKS OF, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DELVE DEEPER INTO THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED ON THIS PLATFORM. Dr's HUNTER AND CARR. INSPIRES INDEPENDENT AND CRITICAL THINKING. When we Know BETTER , WE DO BETTER.

[@cherylmike839]

Thank you . I appreciate your service of reeducating us from the miseducation. Unfortunstely, the masses usually do not get on to these type of forums or read those types of books. We have had all these books and info available for years with still no real fruit or progress. It is time to include talk back up with positive planning, preparation and action by those who are informed for collective power of the whole for all. We lull ourselves in a dream that does not end with a reality. We plant seeds that sre not bearing filling fruit. What is next is a good question to not just ponder, but should end with some sort of blueprint and building. Start with unconditional Agape Love Love ourselves and each other enough, and we will be empowered to act bringing tuth to power. Love you all.

[@lamontvernon757]

Great guests, I look forward to your show every week! Let’s be spiritual, intellectual and self sufficient...

You two are amazzzing!!! Dr Carr keep going, you are a gift to us, thank you Professor Hunter for introducing yourself and Dr. Carr to me. OMG! at 2:13 when Sis Josie came in, my brain and heart were aflutter. I will tell you this, my children are grown and I have gone back to school to get my degree. I always wanted to teach and I will reach that goal. But you two have given me soooooo many bread crumbs that I will pass on to my students. Since the first day of class you two have not disappointed me yet! Thank you!

[@SageMoon8495]

I've been thinking so deeply if Blacks as a collective, specifically African American Blacks, have been so conditioned that the thought of "rising" as a collective people is even possible. I'm so thankful for these sessions with you and Dr. Carr, and understand that the journey forward begins with one step, but when I look around me, it seems that our consciousness as a people is still very much "surface". My thoughts go beyond my words but essentially, many seem to be so conditioned by white structure that "posturing" within the collective it's hard to feel , "this is our time". Just thinking and meditating. Anyway, I'm so proud of this endeavor. Know that I hear and I'm learning and I'm not giving up.

With opening your mouth and putting your brain on display is a strategy commonly used when someone thinks you are a threat to trip you up in conversation to pick your brain. Once you recognize this it becomes a personalized verbal and nonverbal chess match. I've been involved with these kinds of "matches" and the opponent are never satisfied with my responses. Their counter action is to fire me up and lose track of my focus. I thank you Karen Hunter and Dr. Carr for your ingenious platform which I will always love and cherish. Please keep it coming...

Thank you for this wonderful conversation! A wealth of information.

[@sweetpeasbackyardgarden1236]

Again, great discussion. A few items I noted. Would like to dive deeper into (unless it was covered in previous discussions): 1) the tactical piece about gaining access to resources to build and move us forward 2) link teaching and learning (again) to social and economic power and 3) the idea Prof. Gonsalves highlighted about the ways stratification makes students invisible (hopefully I noted that correctly). I also found the play to lose = pushing the limits intriguing. Awesome class! Please continue. Thank you.

We need to talk much more about "degrees/college majors" and the need to reconstruct the knowledge system (what we are doing here) and the losing role and purpose for majors and hence what do degrees say about useful skills/knowledge.

[@makherubradley2103]

Dr.Richard King says “synthesis is the key to ascension.” We must become synthesizers which requires Afrikan-centered holistic thinking versus the trap of Eurocentric fragmentation. Eurocentric fragmentation has us choosing sides or locked into one side, e.g Malcolm or Martin. It’s not either or. It is the best of both. They were human. They made mistakes. Learn the lessons; absorb the spirit; emulate their highest achievements. So it’s not Harriet or Sojourner. It’s Harriet and Sojourner. It’s not Delany or Douglass. It’s the best of both. Same with Washington and Du Bois, Du Bois and Garvey, Wells-Barnett and Bethune, Martin and Malcolm, Us and the Black Panther Party. “Synthesis is the key to ascension.” Purge Eurocentric fragmentation from our consciousness.

[@jr9941]

Amazing! The MLK history, The Tech, economic, and diaspora was what I’ve been waiting on.

Doctors Hunter & Carr I swear divine is the only way to describe the miracles your chemistry and platform is. My husband and I were talking about how Biggie's respect for Jay-Z no writing rap approach inspired Biggie to do the same. We have a need for your platform and when you reach out to me you will see the levels we have to supercede and thrive in this country. Our story is both upsetting and a testament of what makes us the warriors we are. My name is Maryam Bennett and I reside in the notorious Forsyth County (shout out to Biggie intended) the stands we've taken & the trouble we've had getting any coverage or anything done. We are not far removed from this being a white's only county and even though the landscape has changed there is still blood at the root.
