Morgan Gray 143 episodes Aug 20, 2026

Afrocentric. explores and redefines Afrocentrism by highlighting the deeper, often untold histories and lived experiences of Black Aboriginal peoples of North America, later labeled African American. It connects these stories with ancestral narratives from Africa, South America, and the Caribbean to foster appreciation for Black heritage, resilience, and cultural continuity. The podcast challenges limited historical frameworks such as the dominant 1619 narrative by restoring depth, dignity, and context to the history of dark-skinned peoples of the Americas. Through dialogue, storytelling, and scholarship, it aims to empower listeners to see connections between ancient ancestry, contemporary identity, and future potential.
