Episode 47: Black History Pilgrimage with Anthony Smith

Cody introduces us to Anthony Smith, pastor, poet, and imaginaut in Salsbury, NC. Anthony introduces us to a lot of incredible perspectives on Black History Month. Linking Black History month to liturgical imagination and historical reflection, Anthony brings out some remarkable insights. Around the 40:00 minute mark, Cody and Craig learn about unlearning whiteness and about “would-be” white people. Also, for aspiring “allies” listen closely.

Following our conversation with Anthony, Cody and Craig cover a lot of ground from Daft Punk and the Blind Boys of Alabama to the contract signing of Fernando Tatis; commemoration of the half-million lives lost in the Covid-19 pandemic and the hopes arising from Perseverance landing on Mars; the politics of (electrical) power in Texas; and concluding with listening to Common Hymnal’s medley of Rose Petals and Lift Every Voice as we recognize the one-year mark following the death of Amhaud Arbery.
