In 1970, a game between the fully integrated USC Trojans and the all-white Alabama Crimson Tide served as a turning point for Southern football. The discussion reveals a "conspiracy" where Bear Bryant invited USC to Birmingham specifically to let Sam Cunningham's dominant performance convince Alabama fans that black players were necessary for victory. This event signaled the end of segregation in the SEC and cemented Bryant's legacy as a master strategist.
A Birmingham pastor challenges his peers to open their churches despite the pandemic, preaching "walk by faith, not by sight." The hosts discuss the hypocrisy of keeping bars and liquor stores open while labeling churches as "non-essential." They explore the metaphysical power of group prayer and "vibrations," comparing it to the "karma" and "rainstick" experiments conducted on the *No Agenda* show.
In 1928, the Communist International in Moscow issued a position that African Americans in the South had the right to self-determination and their own nation. Organizers James Julio and Tom Johnson were sent to Birmingham to recruit workers. Black residents joined in large numbers, viewing these white communists as a return of the Yankees to finish the work of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
