I was a college student when Angela Davis was on the run. When going into NYC with three friends, we were stopped by the police, as we were approaching the Lincoln Tunnel. All of us had afros and at that moment clearly understood what was really going on.

[@RussellPernell]

Professor Hunter you are simply glowing ✨️. Thank you and Dr. Carr for your dedication and foundational leadership.

“My job is to make sure nothing gets forgotten” -Professor Karen Hunter ❤️🖤💚 💯 Love that.

She said that, didn’t she?! “We all are!”-Doctor Greg Carr Beautiful tandem of the masculine and the feminine in action.

I would love for Dr. Carr to do a class on the GREAT DR. AMOS WILSON.

Professor Hunter, I'm just doing my 1st rewatch of today's lesson... & Caught the point that you made about "The Hasidim"... & The fact that they "fund their Scholars & their Scholarship". And, you are absolutely right.👌🏾❣️ That is a huge problem among "Our People".. it's Sad, Yeezys & Jordans, get all the "Black $$'s".🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ Thank you A Trillion for your #InClassWithCarr sessions, & Most of All for #Knarrative.👌🏾❣️ Thank you for Loving "Us".❤️🖤💚

[@anonymousone9699]

Dr.Carr, I have to say, you resemble my people of East Africa, Rwanda so much. Looking at you just takes me back home. It is amazing how our heritage remains strong despite all efforts to erase our unity. But, It’s in our DNA. Just wow! Always happy to learn from both of you.

[@theresaedwards6542]

When I was an undergrad at the University of Pittsburgh, I took a class called the History of Black Pittsburgh. One of our textbooks was "Legacies In Brick and Mortar." I said that because I'm excited to think that undergraduate students may study "Knarrative" in 50yrs in their Black history classes.

[@Seanatkins024]

Rest in Power. Dr. Runoko Rashidi. I meet and Listen to his lecture while studying Africology at University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee . He explained to me on how to Travel the world ; he was great teacher.

[@DrMichaelWalker]

Could you and would you expand on that, how to travel the world comment? Either here or in Knarrative.

[@akaziaj]

Dr. Rashidi was a real one. A life well lived when you can do what you love until you breathe your last breath. Rest well King.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

Say that. May he most definitely Rest In Power.

I love everything you are doing Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr. I recently met someone who was one of Dr. Carr's students from Howard University.

Thank you Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr. August is important in former British colonies because our ancestors were emancipated on August 1, 1834. In Antigua & Barbuda we celebrate Carnival around that time with Jou’vert on August Monday. In Jamaica, there’s a village called Augustown. Feeling the August Breeze. Freedom.

Sending you two an abundance of gratitude for your teachings. Thank you💖 I just purchased the book Blood in my Eye from an online black owned book store in Lafayette La, they have a location there too. If you go to their site they look like what Knarrative would look like in 30 years. There’s an Elder speak with a Woman from the counter and it reminds me of you two.

It was pleasure meeting Runuko RIP we are the same age, working for my Univ. Akron, African American Studies & Spellman & traveling the best Black History Experience you meet many interesting People!

[@muatagarai1593]

Funny that this ep. is on George Jackson. When I was a teenager I read books on the Panthers, Davis, Leroi Jones etc. My father died when I was 15 and one of the few books he had in his collection was Soledad Brother. I picked up the book but didn't read it for decades. Three yrs ago I read it and couldn't believe my father had that book and never talked about it. Very powerful. The book was far from new so I figured my father must have read it. Anyway it renewed my writing to my family.

[@williamyoung339]

I was one of those who laughed at Dayman Wayans skit about “ Black Prisoner Intellectuals”. Thanks Dr. Carr for giving me a new perspective. I think it is just another form of name calling which is one of the 10 stops for Black people spoken about by Dr Welsing & N.Fuller

[@loveheals6184]

R.I.P. Dr. Rashidi. I love that Dr. Carr spoke about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was a superlatively successful Dalit who fought for his people. He wrote about the inspiration he drew from the fight for African-American liberation and was in communication with some leaders here. He also wrote clearly about why he didn't consider Gandhi a "mahatma"("great soul"); Gandhi went on a fast in Puna/Poona India to protest Ambedkar wanting representation for the Dalit people. Dalits were attacked in the streets and warned they'd suffer if Gandhi died. Ambedkar had to give in.

[@majadi8855]

R.I.P. Doc The ancestors know you did your assignment well. You'll be missed. You impacted a great number of people here in L.A. & worldwide. Got us thinking, talking & learning. Fly high 🦅

[@gemsamaa]

I spent the last three weeks in Egypt and arrived 2 days after Dr. Rashidi transitioned. I found out when one of my AAS brethren had posted it on Facebook and I was stunned because I had just listened to him speaking on Hapi Talks. I was familiar with his work with Dr. Van Sertima. Truly a great loss.

[@KarenHunterShow]

Wow, Black Bourgeoisie, I read way back in my 20s! I need to reread that book! I grew up in NJ, and didn’t really know any true African American snobs. I knew some wannabes. That was long ago, and far away. One of the things I so enjoy about your videos is this great meshing of things I had all but forgotten, and things I’ve experienced since the initial memory. After living in the south for about 45 years; my experiences and surroundings changed so much, and I think many of the books I read long ago would resonate so differently today. Appreciate the memory joggers.

[@arethabrown5]

After class, I marinate in all the info. It’s rich info. and sometimes, the way my system is, I re-watch sections at a time. On to to #75! Thanks Dr. Carr and Prof. Hunter. 🐦 Twitter🪶

During class, I rarely can watch and listen without breaks to marinate and deal with my emotions and more. Many a class takes me all day to traverse. But, I count myself fortunate to be here in this moment to experience this mental, spiritual and collective growth.
