STAY. FIRED. UP! (Election 2016, Veteran’s Day, White Folks Get to Work, History of Black Veterans, Native Americans in WWII, West World, Walking Dead, Election Victories, Cleveland Mascot, Ask Us Anything)

Episode notes

We are here for you Korner Kids. Let’s unpack this election. James was there at ground zero of what everyone thought would be the official celebratory election party of America’s first female President. We walk through what happened, from voter turnout, to the reality of America. Most importantly we are going to get you FIRED. UP! Now is the time for action, and we’ve got some ideas, and reasons to be hopeful. Minority Korner the movement has just begun! In honor of Veteran’s day we have two segments. First up Nnekay explores the involvement of Native Americans in WWII- and we have a lot to thank them for. Next James explores the history of Black folks in American wars, spoiler alert we’ve been fighting for America long before it was even America. Then it’s our first ever “Ask Minority Korner Anything” we have a question! We explore escapism, sci fi, and fantasy and how it can be used for good like fighting oppression. All this and more!
