    On this episode of The History of Being Black, Dr. Johnathan JeVon White sits down with media educator and Sankofa Cinema Club founder Bridget Smith for a conversation about Black storytelling, representation and the power of film to preserve the stories too often left out of traditional history. Bridget reflects on growing up in Brooklyn’s close-knit Bushwick community, where family, teachers and neighbors formed the village that shaped her worldview. She shares how television programs such as Like It Is and The McCreary Report, along with films including School Daze and Do the Right Thing, inspired her journey into media. The conversation explores the evolution of Black film, the opportunities created by digital platforms and why understanding the technical foundations of filmmaking is as important as having a powerful idea. Bridget also explains how storytelling begins with a blueprint—from storyboarding and character development to creating a clear beginning, conflict and resolution. Bridget then takes us inside the Sankofa Cinema Club, a virtual and in-person community created to uncover untold Black history through film and conversation. From the story behind Hoxie: The First Stand to learning about civil rights leader Dorothy Cotton and Jamaican freedom fighter Queen Nanny, the club brings filmmakers, descendants, scholars and audiences together to connect the past with the present. It is a powerful reminder that Black film is more than entertainment—it is education, cultural preservation and an essential part of our continuing struggle for freedom.

    The Challenges and Joy in Teaching Young Minds

    What happens when Black history, football and education all become part of the same playbook? On this episode of History of Being Black, Dr. Johnathan JeVon White welcomes Baton Rouge educator and football coach Malcolm Reed for a powerful conversation about family legacy, authentic teaching and helping young people understand who they are. Malcolm reflects on being raised in a family whose names honored leaders including Malcolm X, Frederick Douglass, Denmark Vesey and Toussaint L’Ouverture. He shares how football taught him discipline, teamwork and preparation—and how those same lessons shape his classroom, where his goal is to spark curiosity, empower students and help them see the world differently. The conversation explores the lasting effects of COVID, social media and technology on young people; the importance of Black male educators; and the painful reality of losing students to gun violence, suicide and incarceration. Malcolm also explains how he uses hip-hop and stories like that of Kale, a young survivor of the Amistad, to make Black history relevant and unforgettable. Above all, Malcolm reminds us that studying Black history should begin at home—with the people, sacrifices and legacies that made our own lives possible.

    What does it mean to educate the whole child—and to recognize that children are shaping the world right now, not someday? On this episode of the History of Being Black Podcast, Dr. Johnathan JeVon White sits down with lifelong educator and Linked Destiny’s Academy founder Njemele Anderson. Raised in West Philadelphia by her grandmother and great-grandmother, Njemele shares how family, church, activism, and an unwavering commitment to Black people shaped her approach to education. The conversation explores the emotional safety children need to learn, the lasting effects of educational systems that fail to recognize Black brilliance, and the challenge of helping young people overcome fear and rediscover their creativity. Njemele also reflects on the heartbreak and hope of teaching students affected by gun violence—and why an educator’s destiny is intrinsically connected to every child who enters the classroom. Through Linked Destiny’s Academy, Njemele is working toward a project-based, liberatory school designed to cultivate a love of learning and prepare the next generation of educators.
