April Ryan, the longest-serving Black member of the White House Press Corps, joins Dr. Kaye to discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine election processes in at least 15 states, as reported by the NAACP.
Ryan speaks on the importance of Black journalists standing firm amid political pressure, referencing her own experiences along with recent threats against Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. She stresses the need for vigilance, community organizing, and continued support for independent journalism.
Dr. Lester Spence urges listeners to begin political organizing now—not later in the year—warning that early action is critical to counter current tactics.
The discussion also centers on preserving Black history, honoring community resilience, and navigating the complex realities of being both African and American in today’s political climate.
