Jackson joins Charles Gregory and the team for an eye-opening conversation about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s lesser-known speeches such as “The Other America,” the economic fight for Black liberation, and how those truths remain urgent today. They also dig into Cat Williams’ viral revelations, the state of comedy, Black comedians being overlooked, and the power of supporting independent Black-owned media.
Kamal shares his own journey — from learning journalism in the “classroom of YouTube” to building his own digital network — and breaks down why collaboration and loyalty are critical for uplifting Black voices in today’s competitive entertainment industry.
