#7 Black Present Month

February 18, 2015

DISCLAIMER: We originally wanted to publish this episode the beginning of February. However, after we recorded it, we realized that the audio quality was compromised by some interference. So we held off publishing it until we could improve the quality of the audio. Unfortunately, the audio issues were significant and were only able to improve the quality minimally. We really enjoyed recording this episode, so we decided to release it any way. Please give it a listen and forgive us for the sound quality.

In this episode, Tracey and Stephen talk about "Black Present Month". Where does the Black Community stand today? Have we made strides since the height of the civil rights movement? What work is left to do?

01:01 Are Blacks being left out of Detroit's renaissance?

14:05 Are there ANY benefits to gentrification?

28:08 Are Black folks better off economically now or 50 years ago?

45:08 Do Black celebrities do enough social activism?
