In this episode, Dani and Nwayieze look at how hospitalization is an extension of institutionalization and incarceration. There is a history of insanity weaponization in this country especially in regards to Black people. Unfortunately, there continue to be occurrences of this in the present day. The hosts spoke to two people who are very familiar with this concept: Nico Carter and Meredith Coleman McGee. The former was a writer for a well-known card game; institutionalized for daring to speak up at work. The latter is the niece of notable civil rights leader, James Meredith. Meredith was the first African American to integrate into the University of Mississippi after his predecessor, Clennon King, was institutionalized following his own attempt two years prior.
