Apr 29, 2021 - Tony Browder and Nathan Richardson - Restoration Project in Egypt / New restrictive voting laws in US

Through the ASA Restoration Project that he started in 2008 to
honor the legacy of the late Dr. Asa Hilliard, Tony Browder has
raised funds for the excavation and restoration of two 25th
dynasty tombs that Dr. Elena Pischikova discovered in Luxor,
Egypt in 2006. (Hilliard was a professor of educational
psychology who focused on indigenous ancient Egyptian history.)


Both Pischikova and Browder disagree with traditional
Egyptologists that claim that the 25th dynasty was the "only"
time that Black kings ruled Egypt. Nevertheless, Browder adds,
“Our mission is to eventually excavate all three tombs, catalogue
our findings, and clean, conserve and restore the tombs to their
original condition.”

The work is hard he explained in 2011, "we work in 100 to120
degree temperatures and in pits 20 feet below the surface."
 On the next Port Of Harlem Talk Radio, he talks more about
the Project and it’s success.

Browder is working on a new book that will explore the
architecture and exhibits within the NMAAHC, “An African Ark: The
Architectonics of the National Museum of African American History
and Culture.” It is due in July 2017.

Poet, author, and Frederick Douglass historian Nathan Richardson
spends a great deal of time researching the life and times for
Douglass (1818-1895). As a Douglass historian, we talk with
Richardson about his thoughts on the recently passed Georgia and
Kentucky voting laws and their place in history. We also contrast
those laws with proposed laws in The Gambia, and back in The
States, we look at Marjorie Green-Taylor’s America First Caucus
from a historical lens, too.
