Often when people think of Jim Crow it is viewed as a racial regime of terror put upon Blacks further validating White hatred for Black people. The desire to render racial antagonism as some physics like ontological reality obscures the origins in political economy that often explain these racial phenomenon. Today we will discuss how political economy was driving force behind the Jim Crow regime and that means for Black American politics today.

Often Black identity in America is flattened to create a unified notion of Black community. As a consequence, the various class divisions that exist in Black America are obscured to facilitate Black social and political activity being easily governed by the American political establishment. When slavery is discussed, the images of all Black folk toiling on plantations comes to mind. What that image belies is that there have been free Black people, known as free people of color, that have existed in America since the earliest periods in colonial history. Shockingly, it occurred at times that these free people of color even owned their own Black slaves. What was the nature of free people of color societies. How did free people of color function in the antebellum south. How extensive was slave ownership among free people of color?

Music and political upheaval have a long intertwined history in the United States going back to the 19th century. From Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit '' to the protest music of the 60’s, music and art has been a defining feature of the counterculture. The soundtrack of rebellion against U.S imperialism, racism, sexism and more. But in this era of hyper capitalism, does music even possess a revolutionary capacity? Or is every counter cultural moment simply a branding exercise. We’ll ask these questions and more.
