Ed Post’s YouTube channel is a must-visit spot for real talk about education, history, and change. We laughed, learned, and supported each other while navigating challenging issues that can feel insurmountable.
The ultimate "ICYMI," here's a look at the conversations that had you hitting the play button all year.
Juneteenth and Black History Month aren’t just calendar dates—they’re stories that deserve to be told the right way. And no one does a better job of bringing history to life than Dr. Greg Carr and Shayna Terrell. They broke it all down, from Carter G. Woodson’s vision to the pitfalls of commercialization. Their take? Keep it real, keep it respectful, and never stop learning.
Our Freedom Friday trio reminds us with each episode that we're not free yet, but we can move a little closer when we educate ourselves on what's really going on. Chris, Sharif, and Ismael gave us a fresh look at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Forget the watered-down speeches—they explored the real MLK, the one fighting for systemic change. If you missed this one, you’ll want to catch up.
They also responded to the question: Do we really need Black History Month? Raise your hand if you think the answer is a resounding "Yes!" They explored the superficial nature of token commercial celebrations of Black history and the repetitive stories often highlighted. The hosts advocated for a shift towards Afro-futurism, and using the past as fuel for liberation and building a better future.
No topic is too complex, and no details are too small to include for the experts who join Ed Post's hosts for insightful conversations every week.
How about reparations for education? Yep, Dr. Bettina Love went there, and maybe we should all follow her. She didn’t hold back with her call for community-driven reform, which will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about education.
Dr. Charles Cole III tackled the deeply troubling grade inflation problem and why “good grades” don’t always mean real learning.
These conversations? Pure gold for anyone who cares about the next big-picture issue in education.
Who knew math could be a tool for liberation? Akil Parker did, and he connected it to Black history and financial literacy in ways that will blow your mind.
Ever wonder how the U.S. public education system became such a mess, especially for people who aren't white? Chris, Sharif, and Ismael walked us through the system's roots in racism and compliance-driven design while celebrating the Black leaders who resisted and made a difference. It was eye-opening, to say the least.
These videos are just a drop in the deep ocean of educational justice content. Our hosts sparked conversations that pushed boundaries, inspired change, and brought new ideas into focus. If you’ve been part of these moments, thank you. And if you haven’t? It’s time to catch up.
