In this special Black History Month episode of The Dap and A Hug Podcast, we sit down with Willie James “Brother Wali” Cathcart, Margaret Crawford Parson-Willins, and Christine Sparks for a powerful conversation recorded on location at Historic Brattonsville.
Together, they explore:
• What it means to inherit a history you did not choose
• Discovering family connections through DNA
• The legacy of segregation-era baseball and the mentorship of Joe Black
• Preserving African American history in the Carolina Piedmont
• Land, belonging, and generational memory
Brother Wali reflects on playing during segregation in the 1950s and learning under Joe Black, the first African American pitcher to win a World Series game.
Margaret Parson-Willins shares her decades of dedication to preserving African American history and honoring ancestors whose stories were nearly lost.
Christine Sparks speaks candidly about what surfaced emotionally when truth was revealed — and what it took to reach across history toward connection.
This conversation isn’t just about the past — it’s about what we pass forward.
At the very least, we hope you learn something.
At the very least, we hope you gain some perspective.
