Too often, King's legacy is reduced to a dream while his radical critique of power, white supremacy, and false allies is ignored. In Letter from Birmingham Jail, King challenged those who claimed to support freedom while demanding patience, respectability, and compromise from Black people fighting for liberation. In this conversation, Project Say Something sits down with a nonprofit leader to examine the continued impact of white liberalism in Black movement spaces. We discuss broken promises, performative solidarity, nonprofit funding, delayed justice, and the ways institutions absorb the language of liberation while resisting real change. This conversation is for organizers, movement workers, and anyone committed to building Black power beyond symbolism, statements, and empty promises.

While America has made progress in removing confederate statues from public squares, many remain standing. Director of the PBS documentary The Neutral Ground, CJ Hunt, and founder of Project Say Something, Camille Goldston Bennett, join Roy Wood Jr. to discuss why these monuments were erected in the first place, how many are left, what’s being done on the ground to remove them, and where they should end up once they’re removed.
