The hosts discuss the legacy of Rosenwald schools, which educated leaders like Medgar Evers and Maya Angelou. They claim the anthem "We Shall Overcome" was a "remix" of a spiritual created at the Highlander Folk School, which they characterize as a communist-affiliated institution. They argue that philanthropic "monument builders" like Rockefeller used education to shape society to their will.
Intersectionality and the Historically Black College Curriculum
The hosts discuss the curriculum at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), noting that many were founded and funded by white philanthropists like Rockefeller and Carnegie. They argue that these institutions often teach "intersectionality" and "victimization mentality" mandated by their endowments. The segment critiques how these ideologies are used to "slay queen" Black women while keeping them tethered to globalist agendas.
The historical rivalry between W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington represented two different paths for Black progress: Du Bois's top-down intellectual agitation versus Washington's bottom-up industrial education. While Du Bois was backed by liberal academic institutions, Washington received millions in funding from Gilded Age elites like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie to establish Southern Black schools.
