Intersectionality in the American South
Intersectionality in the American South is a podcast for anyone whose ready to take a long, hard, look at the ways oppressive systems land in people’s lives. We bring together academics and everyday people in conversations about the intersectional forms of oppression that marginalized people experience. You will hear thought provoking conversations about hard topics that center the often-silenced voices of Women of color, queer, trans and non binary folks and immigrants.

Ep. 4 What's New with the Beacon Hill Black Alliance for Human Rights
Beacon Hill Black Alliance is an organization of committed Decatur residents challenging the racist structures in Decatur, Ga. As Black history is American history, the white-washed monuments and symbols in Decatur say otherwise as Black and indigenous peoples historical presence are rendered absent while their contemporary presence is continually threatened by Decatur as it stands. However, through Beacon Hill’s Art for the People work, educational initiatives, and advocacy, they attempt to tell the untold and model how everyday ordinary people have power to exercise that can create social change.
