Episode #22: Jailbreaking Black Thought from the Academy

 George Mason Murray and James Garrett, two of the founders of Black studies within the San Francisco Bay Area.


Inspired by Karen Hunter and Greg Carr's YouTube conversations about jailbreaking knowledge from the academy, the brothers reflect on aspects of the academy that they can do without -- including classism and antiblackness. They think through how Black people might keep the irreplaceable functions of the academy (the production, conservation, and distribution of knowledge) while discarding the other bits. They discuss the kinds of knowledge Black people need in order to get free.
