You won’t find the devastation of Black Wall Street in history textbooks. Most of the country didn’t know about it until a few years ago. Like the district itself, it was erased, and it’s only one example of such historical neglect.
It’s why my guest Dr. Amy Aldridge Sanford was so adamant about including chapters on history and activism within her book From Thought to Action because knowing that history is essential to facilitating systemic change. She’s well-versed in the areas of social justice and activism with workshops, books, and dozens of book chapters, articles, editorials, and journal manuscripts on these topics.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll learn about how so much of our history in this country has been deliberately erased. You’ll also hear about the impact of social injustice survivors in places like Oklahoma, why many places where social injustices have occurred struggle to recover, and much more!
5:48 - Defining social justice and how living in Oklahoma broadens perspective on intersectionality
15:07 - The neglected history of social injustice (and its survivors) and the need to move past a guilt-laden existence
24:32 - The consequences of not focusing on and maintaining reconciliation of past social injustices
34:14 - Why you need to take inventory of your personal history and proceed carefully with how you take direct action
