This podcast episode proposes a plan for achieving true equality for black people in America by encouraging reverse migration. The idea is for more black individuals to move from cities in the north and west to the south, in order to concentrate black political power and have a greater influence in areas such as criminal justice, election administration, and education. The episode examines the historical precedent of the Reconstruction era, when black men had significant political representation in southern states, and aims to restore and expand upon this condition to bring about true equality. The episode concludes by stressing the importance of taking concrete actions to bring about real change.
