"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

What Is Epistemic Erasure? | Black History Buff: Definitions 1:07

17 hours тому1:07

1:07

What counts as “real knowledge”? Who decides which histories are taught—and which ones are left out? In this episode of Black History Buff: Definitions , we share the term Epistemic Erasure —a powerful concept that explains how knowledge, cultures, and histories are systematically erased or dismissed, especially those belonging to Black, Indigenous, and other marginalised communities. Epistemic erasure shows up in classrooms, textbooks, media, and even in everyday conversations. It’s when African contributions to science go unmentioned, when oral traditions are dismissed as less valid than written records, and when entire worldviews are ignored because they don’t fit into dominant narratives. This short, sharp episode offers a clear definition and helps listeners recognise how knowledge, power, and oppression intersect in subtle but lasting ways. Perfect for educators, students, and anyone committed to decolonising education and understanding how systems of exclusion operate beyond just laws and policies. Tune in now to sharpen your vocabulary and deepen your understanding of Black history, identity, and resistance—one definition at a time. Stay curious. Stay proud. Stay blessed.

📖 Black women who used the pen as a weapon—why don’t we know their names? In this powerful episode of The Black History Buff Podcast , King Kurus takes us on a journey through the lives of Phillis Wheatley, Maria W. Stewart, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper —three trailblazing Black women who defied the odds and demanded their voices be heard. 🔥 Phillis Wheatley – The enslaved poet who challenged the hypocrisy of the Founding Fathers and became the first published African American woman in 1773. 🔥 Maria W. Stewart – The fearless orator who, in 1831, became the first Black woman to publicly speak on politics and women's rights —only to be silenced by society. 🔥 Frances Ellen Watkins Harper – The poet and abolitionist who stood before the National Women’s Rights Convention in 1866 and called out white feminists for ignoring Black women’s struggles. These women wrote themselves into history when the world wanted them erased .

The Harlem Hellfighters: A Story of Bravery and Betrayal 4:40

7 weeks тому4:40

4:40

Hey Family, it’s King Kurus, the Black History Buff. Today, we’re diving into the story of the Harlem Hellfighters —a regiment of African American soldiers who proved their bravery on the battlefields of World War I but returned home to a nation that refused to honour their sacrifice. Denied the chance to fight under their own flag, these men took up arms alongside the French, earning their highest military honour, the Croix de Guerre , for their unmatched courage. 191 days on the front lines. No ground lost. No men captured. Yet, when the war ended, the battles they faced were far from over. Racism, segregation, and violence awaited them back home, a cruel reminder that the fight for dignity and equality was far from won. So, what happens when a country benefits from your service but refuses to acknowledge your worth? And how do we honour those who fought for a nation that didn’t fight for them? That’s what I’m unpacking in this episode. But that’s what I think—what do you think?

Clennon King: Declared Insane for Seeking an Education 5:02

8 weeks тому5:02

What happens when the simple act of pursuing knowledge is deemed a threat to society? In 1958, Clennon King, a Black historian and activist, applied to the University of Mississippi, an institution that had never admitted a Black student. Instead of being welcomed, King was forcibly committed to a mental asylum, declared insane for daring to challenge segregation. This episode delves into the extraordinary and tragic story of Clennon King—a man whose pursuit of equality and education exposed the deep-rooted insanity of systemic racism in America. Discover how King’s defiance paved the way for others like James Meredith and ignited debates about civil rights, institutional power, and the cost of standing up for justice. We’ll explore the broader historical context, the weaponisation of mental health diagnoses, and the parallels to modern struggles for equality. Clennon King’s story isn’t just history—it’s a reflection of the ongoing fight for justice today. Listen now to uncover the untold legacy of the man who was declared insane for seeking an education.
