Darius I'Free
As modern people of color are redefining their relationship with mental health, wellness, spirituality, and purpose, Thinking Black with Darius I'Free brings you smart conversations and sharp content that chronicle this changing landscape; discussions that will cause you to challenge old assumptions about modern blackness and it's role in America in a new light.
There is a recent trend to use Dr. Martin Luther King Jr as a convenient to prop for the status quo. The fable of MLK is one reduced to “I Have A Dream" and not much else. He is an almost wholly fabricated, passive MLK to whom both moderate democrats and republicans pay homage.
But...
In reality, those examples rely on half-truths and half-reveals of who MLK truly was. In today's podcast, Darius I'Free explores the MLK who was far more radical than most folks would guess, a man who moved further left over the course of his fight for justice. The real MLK -- the radical one.
