Season 2: Preview

Black Work Talk

Season Two of Black Work Talk will launch on November 17. In this Preview Episode, host Steven Pitts reviews Season One highlighting the reality that Black workers are impacted by race and class and debates within the movement over the primacy of one over the other are not just fruitless, but counter-productive. His review concludes by discuss the need for more power on the part of the Left in order to reduce the probability of an Insurrection 2.0 and maximize the probability of achieving the agenda of progressives in Congress.

Pitts also previews Season Two which will be organized around four mini-series: Black labor, the Black Left, Black feminism, and power-building. The overarching question animating the entire season is: why is there a gap between the power of Black activists and "real existing" power.
