  • ‘How rebellion and activism have always sustained America’

    ‘How rebellion and activism have always sustained America’
    Aug 3 2026
    Rebellion and activism have always been necessary to move America toward progress, with always present obstacles to overcome, including violent opposition from those with their own view of what makes the country great. That truth, with all the contradictions that arise when ideals fail to match reality, is explored in “We’ve Been Here Before.” When mythmaking threatens to replace history, this book, by Angela P. Dodson and Michael I. Days, is an essential and timely present for America’s 250th birthday. Co-author Angela P. Dodson joins Equal Time to talk about the heroes and the hard work.

  • Do Black women have solutions to what’s ailing American democracy? By Mary C. Curtis

    Do Black women have solutions to what’s ailing American democracy? By Mary C. Curtis
    Apr 30 2026
    When Black women show up – as election workers, activists, advocates, voters – they make a difference. So, when they step forward, why do they so often meet resistance, not just from opponents, but also from supposed allies? And why has that never stopped them. Atima Omara’s new book, “The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And what we can learn from them),” is both a history lesson and a blueprint for the future. In an almost two-decade career, Omara, founder of the award-winning Omara Strategy Group, has worked at the intersection of electoral politics and advocacy in the progressive movement. She is my guest on this episode of Equal Time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Mixing religion and politics in America. That isn’t new. What makes today different?

    Mixing religion and politics in America. That isn’t new. What makes today different?
    Apr 2 2026
    If the line separating church and state in America has not yet disappeared, it is certainly fading fast. The evidence? A Supreme Court willing to rule in favor of faith-based lawsuits; a Secretary of Defense framing the war in Iran in apocalyptic terms; a president pushing a law restricting voting rights, exhorting legislators to pass it -- for “Jesus.” Is today’s elevation of a certain kind of Christianity at odds with the ideals of a diverse country where freedom of and from religion is guaranteed in the Constitution? David Gibson -- award-winning religion journalist, author, and filmmaker -- is director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, and the guest on this episode of Equal Time.
