Host Erik Fleming interviews historian and filmmaker Gregory S. Cooke about his documentary Invisible Warriors, which tells the story of 600,000 African-American women who worked in factories and government during World War II, and Dedrick Asante-Muhammad of the Joint Center, who discusses racial economic equity and current policy challenges. The episode explores wartime gains, ongoing struggles for civil rights, efforts to preserve Black history, and ways listeners can support the film and related educational initiatives.

Host Erik Fleming interviews historian Dr. Calvin Schermerhorn about his book The Plunder of Black America, tracing how slavery, Jim Crow laws and 20th-century public policies combined to create and sustain the racial wealth gap through individual family stories and economic analysis.

The episode also features reflections on the late Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr., and a discussion of remedies — including reparations and targeted public policy — to begin closing the wealth divide.

Host Erik Fleming speaks with Dr. Decoteau Irby and Dr. Ann Ishimaru about their decade-spanning book "Doing the Work of Equity Leadership for Justice and Systems," exploring how equity leaders build change, the challenges they face amid political backlash, and practical strategies for sustaining justice in schools.

Later, Dr. Karlos K. Hill joins to mark 100 years of Black History Month, explaining why Black history is central to American history, the cultural ways it has been preserved, and how Ubuntu and community-building support healing and future progress.
