FOR THE PEOPLE: What Does It Mean to Build Black Institutions in 2025?
Hosted by B.I.G. Nel Obuya

Black America is entering 2025 facing a political landscape that feels more unpredictable than ever — and the stakes are higher than most people realize. In this episode of Outlaw Radeo, we’re asking a question that cuts beneath the noise: What does it truly mean to build Black institutions in this moment?

In the Street Scholar Report, we discuss:
* The renaming of Pryor Road to Michael Langford Parkway and why Langford’s legacy of community advocacy, policy work, and institution-building still matters
* Trump labeling Somalia a “failed state” and telling Somalis in America to “go home.”
* Trump’s proposal to remove King Day and Juneteenth from the 2026 National Park Service free-entry holidays — and the symbolism behind this erasure

Then we get into the heart of the episode:
How do we — as Black people — build the schools, businesses, media platforms, financial ecosystems, political pathways, and cultural structures needed for real generational power?

From the ancient cities of Kemet and Timbuktu to the grassroots brilliance of modern Atlanta, we explore how institutional memory and cultural intelligence can shape our future. No waiting for rescue. No hoping for validation. Just strategy, self-determination, and building for the people.
