Description


In February of 2021, Karen Hunter asked Greg Carr, "Can I press record?" during a private discussion on Ida B. Wells. That kicked off what would become "In Class with Carr," a global phenomenon featuring the People's Professor Dr. Greg Carr. All of the episodes can be found on the Knarrative platform (www.knarrative.com) and you can join the community, #Knubia (community.knarrative.com).

In the Thursday, March 26, 2026 edition of the New York Times, Lydia Polgreen observes that “America does not know how to exist in a world it does not control.” Through vacillations between seizing temporary control of state and federal government, White nationalist politicians in the US continue to fight desperately to impose their narrow ideology on the country’s fragile amalgam of genocidal European settler colonies, built on stolen African labor and sustained by a narrative of self-creation that projects inevitability and dominance. The illusion they seek to impose afresh at its semi-quincentennial is that the US is something founded as anything other than that as part of Europe’s global rise. As the country’s population continues to move toward reflecting the world’s overwhelming non-white majority, this illusion is unraveling as excesses of nativism, Eurocentrism, and racial capitalism produce global fracture, desperate attempts to prop up and seize control of the old system and demands for renegotiation by those who suffer under it. Against this backdrop, the 19th annual United Nations International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade became a site of growing demands for reckoning. Ghanaian President John Mahama introduced a resolution on behalf of Africans globally, declaring the trafficking of Africans the greatest crime against humanity and demanding repair. It was passed overwhelmingly by member states and rejected in both telling dissent and abstention from the old global power states. The vote exposed both hopes and fears in the current world's social structure and raises urgent questions about responsibility, memory, and repair.Are you a member of Knarrative?

As the US federal government exacerbates global and local political conflict and cultural struggle, this week’s session centers In Class’ latest exploration of secret places of Africana Governance, Cultural Meaning Making and Movement and Memory to highlight how Ways of Knowing in the form of narratives, institutions, and historical memory shape choices individuals and communities must make in order to survive and thrive. Africana governance spaces persist in perpetually hostile Western Social Structures, reminding us of the enduring power of being present, undertaking intentional study and investing time and energy in deliberate acts of building meaningful collective futures. With every day, we choose the lives we live and the ones we want to live.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This week’s In Class With Carr comes from Montgomery Alabama, site of the Second Annual National Fred D. Gray Symposium. We return to Alabama to reflect on how human and civil rights struggles waged here force us to consider contemporary questions of transitioning US and global Social Structures and Africana Ways of Knowing. Anchored by reflections from the Symposium and along the Selma-to-Montgomery trail, the Black Hospital Movement, and figures from Fred Gray and JoAnn Bland to the students of HBHS Tuskegee High School and many others, we continue the work of Africana Studies as “Intellectual CSI.” U.S. Reconstruction’s unfinished promises demand a renegotiation anchored in Africana Governance logics in order to resist exclusion and collectively re-center our common humanity in a post-Western world.Are you a member of Knarrative?

As Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s war against the world enhances regional and global threats to the planet, this week’s session of In Class With Carr centers community self-determination as a strategy for both resisting oppression and changing the deteriorating Social Structure of the Modern World System. Drawing on the momentum of memory rooted in living movement institutions, we pose a central question: How do we free our minds so that we can liberate our spaces? Answering that question requires challenging the illusion of inevitability under a dying empire. It means building independent institutions while also reimagining shared spaces in order to remake them, infusing them with our Governance protocols and Ways of Knowing, all in our collective interest. Central to this work is the power of storytelling to restore collective memory, cultivate disciplined political clarity and strengthen global solidarity—transforming hope into collective positive action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

As we close the final day of Blackest History Month, the governments of the United States and Israel have declared war on Iran, an action that casts both countries as pariah states and threatens the lives and security of everyone in those three countries and beyond. At the same time, doomed efforts by predatory monied interests to shape and control mass media narratives and images are intensifying. Filmmaker Haile Gerima has described narratives as scalpels that cut into the center of our minds and consciousness. The struggle of liberation-oriented Governance formations against an increasingly fragile contemporary global Social Structure, then, is first and foremost, a clash between forces determined to reduce humanity to servitude and people who refuse to submit. What happens when increasingly desperate would-be masters can no longer control those they seek to dominate?Are you a member of Knarrative?

On February 17, 2026, Jesse Louis Jackson made transition at 84, marking a watershed chapter in four generations of African struggle for US and global power. Emerging from Africana Governance formations, Jackson leveraged two currencies—voter power and consumer power—to push US domestic and global Social Structures to have to negotiate with the organized oppressed. From Operations Breadbasket and PUSH to Rainbow Coalition Presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988, Jackson utilized and tested every tactic available to oppressed people confronting entrenched Social Structures. In Class With Carr 311 interprets the meaning of Jackson’s life and work as a case study in the possibilities and limits of Black self-determination, asking what it reveals about today’s fragile and reshaping political order and what understanding him, it and ourselves demands of us now.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This second session of Blackest History Month centers on questions of freedom and liberty. What conditions define freedom? How is freedom related to self-definition, both individually and collectively? As we continue exploring freedom, governance, and memory in the Semiquincentennial year of the United States, today’s session marks Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday and the close of the original “Negro History Week.” Applying the Africana Studies Conceptual Categories Framework to struggles over Philadelphia’s President’s House Historical Site and related subjects, we examine internal and external intellectual warfare in a moment of accelerating U.S. imperial decline. The path forward depends on whether we choose freedom—or remain slaves without masters.Are you a member of Knarrative?

On February 7, 1926, National Negro History Week was first observed. This week, we frame Blackest History Month as a Governance ritual against the coming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, not as celebration but as struggle—over memory, power, and education. Coming from this weekend’s “Blackprint 20” Conference in Philadelphia, we trace recurring conflicts from 1776 to 1976 to the present: Social Structure spectacle versus Movement and Memory; the archive versus living intergenerational transmission; and curriculum as Governance protocol beyond simple skill development. White supremacy cannot coexist with African self-determination, equity or any other form of full beingness. Rituals that mark anniversaries must activate memory into action, revealing intellectual warfare over history, schooling, and national identity in a convulsing settler state.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This week’s In Class With Carr with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, launches this year’s Blackest History Month, affirming that African education is not—and has never been—merely a response to domination, but the transmission of enduring cultural coherence across generations. Using the Africana Studies Conceptual Categories, we juxtapose the latest intellectual warfare over the National Park Service’s President’s House site in Philadelphia, White nationalist attacks on expression and global political shifts with African-centered thinking to discuss how power, knowledge, and memory operate across time and space. We frame February as a recommitment to elevating African Ways of Knowing—cumulative, communal, and grounded in a long-view genealogy that refuses disappearance and insists on continuity.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This week on In Class with Carr, Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter turn to the geopolitical drama unfolding at Davos and the continued Trump-era decline of U.S. global authority—marked by a disassociative political posture that separates power from consequence and rhetoric from reality, deepening both global and domestic fractures.In this moment of renegotiating global and local Social Structures, Africana Studies must reassert its role as both discipline and Governance refuge. Movement and Memory converge in the birthday of pioneering bibliophile and institution builder Arturo Alfonso Schomburg and the transition of master teacher and researcher Dr. Charles Sumner Finch (1948–2026),whose lives modeled study as resistance as Ways of Knowing, centering the search for clarity as method and grounding practice amid disassociative conditions.Are you a member of Knarrative?

We enter episode 306 of In Class with Carr with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, as the US cannibalizes its arrangements through increasingly absurdist white nativism and greed driven global destabilization, Social Structures are rapidly reorganizing. Drawing on reminders from figures such as Patrice Lumumba and Martin Luther King Jr., we recall that world orders do not announce themselves into existence—they are made, resisted, and ultimately decided by the people who survive them.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Session 305 of In Class With Carr with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, examines this week’s U.S. and global political developments as a “Good vs. Evil” moment. The Trump administration’s escalation of a domestic and global Cold Civil War against legal, moral, and international norms is an attempt to normalize violence, abandon even the appearance of factual communication in favor of state propaganda, and practice power-over-morality politics. Public executions, immigration enforcement abuses and gaslighting, nativist and racist populist rhetoric, and accelerating displayed of local and state and international power in response to these threats underscore the need for strategic clarity and mass action. In this context, debates have intensified over abandoning moral appeals in favor of reframing narratives, organizing power, and mounting informed, disciplined resistance at home and abroad.Are you a member of Knarrative?

In Class With Carr 304, with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, opens the new year by naming our unavoidable choices in a moment of U.S. imperial desperation. The session centers our obligation to renew commitment to collective study as an act of courage and discipline, as U.S. bombs fall in Venezuela and Nigeria and a fear-driven minority attempts to sabotage people-centered local and national power. We reflect on the historic swearing-in of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, signaling shifting possibilities in the U.S. social structure, while recalling fellow New Yorker John Henrik Clarke’s call to situate our efforts to transform society within the latitude and longitude of our long memory. We close by naming the work ahead: deeper study pathways, shared learning experiences, living archives, and collective frameworks to continue to enhance the momentum of memory, raise standards, and move knowledge into coordinated action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Session 303 of In Class With Carr frames the passage of the Northern Hemisphere’s Winter Solstice as a time for celebration, remembrance and disciplined renewal. On the second day of Kwanzaa, Kujichagulia [Self-Determination], we reinforce Governance principles to center study over spectacle, memory over amnesia, and defining ourselves rather than allowing narratives imposed by others with different motives to define us.Are you a member of Knarrative?

As we enter the Annual Kwanzaa/Christmas/New Year two week corridor, Session 302 of In Class With Carr centers on the meaning of naming, framing, and narrative as sites of Governance, self-determination and collective power. Drawing on Carter Godwin Woodson’s “Much Ado About a Name” essay in his 1933 book “The Miseducation of the Negro,” this week we use our Africana Studies Framework to reflect on, subjects such as Kwanzaa, Black Nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, emphasizing content and context, distinguishing Social Structure from Governance questions in order to empower community-centered knowledge. Rejecting both narrowly-framed academic framings and superficial efforts to rename and redirect the potential of collective power, we use this season of reflection and gratitude to remind ourselves of frameworks that support action, intergenerational learning and expectations, and movement-building rooted in ourselves.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This week’s session with Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter comes live from the 10th annual Celebration Bowl HBCU National Football Championship and Band of the Year Competition. These are Governance formation rituals where Ways of Knowing, Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory imprint our future. Against an increasingly desperate death rattle of US White Nationalism fed by intensifying media disruption and institutional assault, these Governance formations become both refuge and resistance: Bodies in formation, convening as instruction, institutions as anchors. Memory need not drift—it can advance, step by step, propelled by Sankofa and teaching us who we are and must yet be to and for each other and the world.Are you a member of Knarrative?

The 300th session of "In Class With Carr" opens with a framing question: “How has our communal intellectual project endured through shifts in the contemporary Social Structure, especially through society’s technology-fueled constant churn of noise and distraction?” Our weekly commitment to seeking and sharing deepening knowledge traces the evolution of the class—from pandemic-shaped learning to the emergence of Knarrative/Knubia, to the disruptive impact of the AI frenzy—while emphasizing our ongoing effort to sustain quality, preserve momentum and expand our collective memory. Each week, we continue to seek the clean water.Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

What happens when a train barrels down a track and reaches a junction where the signal to slow or stop has failed? It keeps moving at full speed—toward collision or derailment—a looming disaster now determined only by momentum. What happens when we miss signals, not only as individuals or communities, but as countries? In a social moment increasingly shaped by cognitive overload, familiar signals we once used to regulate social direction are increasingly decentered. Our capacities to filter, interpret, and respond increasingly overwhelmed by manufactured confusion, we risk barreling toward an uncertain future, forgetting that we have the power to regulate our movement, our pace, or our destinations. The “tracks” of a country—or of countries within a world system—its infrastructure, its capacity, its ability to build new routes, reroute, or more efficiently manage collective movement, remain in our hands when we build our capacity to act at critical mass.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What does it mean to have and to nurture the ability to take in information and convert it to action? What happens if the mechanism for taking in that light in the mind’s eye is damaged or not well tended to? Those gathered at the 8th Black Male Educator Convening in Philadelphia, are considering this year’s theme: “Power to the Pupil: History, Hip Hop, & the Future of Teaching & Learning.” Together, we are modeling and discussing how to take in light—information, history, experience—and convert it into action. How do adults empower our community by ensuring that our children’s pupils–their capacity for taking in information and processing it through unblocked memory–are healthy and unobstructed? We are reminded that the contemporary global and US Social Structure has consistently tried to block our pupils in order to advance the goals of a few at the expense of the many.. To empower ourselves, we much protect and expand the pupil of the mind’s eye.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this session of In Class With Carr, real estate violence against the East Wing of the White House becomes the latest point of entry to examine the latest episode of the US “demolition derby”—the conflict and renegotiation of the political architecture and collective memory of a United States under siege by the latest assault of an increasingly desperate and fascist white nationalism.

I believe we can look at the history of the Moorish science temple and Noble Dru Ali for some other connections to the history of Wallace Fard Muhammad

What time, day, and on what platform will the book club be? It''s ironic that I just purchased the book and I would love to listen in on the book club.

you definitely do need to do more studying, and research on God and religion. because that information that you got from that University is useless. you know nothing about religion or God

Dear sister. You have a lot more studying to do, in regards to Christianity and how it evolved into a religion. One place to start. You should get the book by Kaba Kamene, SPIRITUALITY BEFORE RELIGION

There is PII in this episode. You all may want to edit it out so no one's identity gets stolen.

You have truly become one of my heroes and it is ridiculous you should ever have to take the back seat to any man, black or white. Reggie, recovering chauvinist

Hey Karen! I was sooo looking forward to hearing the off mic convo/response to the last caller's question. Are you planning to make a second part to cover it?

Your show with Stacey Patton about spanking was incomplete. You didn't have in that podcast, Miss Patton explaining the trauma that is caused by whipping the buttocks. Can you add the whole interview, or put it on YouTube?

happy birthday 🎂... you're the reason that Im "woke" the right way. being woke is deeper than being black, a vegan , a Christian without being legalistic and purchasing stock. you and your guest is showing us how to go and do thorough research before doing anything that we feel as though is trendy or beneficial. so thank you for bringing great content to your podcast and urban view. enjoy your Bday Miss Hunter 😊
