Myth: "What's Africa Got to do with Me?" PT. 2 (W/ Hood Communist)

The Black Myths Podcast

In part 2, we interview the founding editors of Hood Communist (a collective of African revolutionary nationalists using journalism to advance the fight for African Liberation) about how capitalist propaganda distorts our connections to the African diaspora, Practical ways to make those connections, and the significance of joining an organization order to form a collective fight.

SN: At the time of the posting of this episode Hood Communist's Twitter account is suspended for an unexplainable reason despite them breaking no rules. We view this as broader censorship of Black anti-imperialists. To support the reactivation of their Twitter account please @Twitter with the hashtag #FreeHoodComminist.
