https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/95c2bfa4-fdd4-4ebf-a546-44a3f693760c Inaugural episode of AFROPIQ RADIO The "jewel in the crown" of the Civil Rights Movement is under a sustained and systematic attack. From the gutting of Section 5 in Shelby County to the most recent 2026 Supreme Court rulings targeting Section 2, the legal protections for Black voters are being dismantled at an alarming rate. In this episode of AFROPIQ Radio, we sit down with two powerhouses of Black political thought and activism to discuss what "the crushing of the VRA" means for the future of our community: Charles Barron: Former NYS Assemblyman and NYC Council Member, known for his uncompromising stance on Black self-determination and radical political action. Dr. Deborah Jackson: Expert legal mind and dedicated advocate for civil and human rights. Black Power Media is a viewer-funded platform. We don’t answer to corporate advertisers—we answer to you.
