Back to EpisodesFrom Projects to PhD: An Interview with Ricky Jones on the Importance of Education (Rebroadcast)
Description
🔥 “People who are in control of the country because of racial stratification want to stay in control by keeping people stupid about the country’s history.” — Dr. Ricky Jones
In this compelling episode of Shelley’s Plumbline, Dr. Jones calls out the deliberate silence around slavery and America’s original sins — the genocide of Native Americans and the enslavement of Black people. He and Dr. Stewart ask the hard questions: Why are so many still afraid to confront this history? And what is the cost of pretending it didn’t happen?
🧠Truth-telling isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s revolutionary.
