YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump’s back—and it’s Jim Crow in a Gucci suit.
In this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill and political scientist Dr. Wilmer Leon break down how Trump’s first 100 days feel less like governance and more like a targeted attack on Black America.
Civil rights offices slashed. HBCUs sidelined. Black farmers ghosted. Social programs gutted. And with 20% of federal Black workers on the line, the message is loud and clear: this system ain’t built for us, and now they’re trying to tear down what little we got.
Dr. Leon goes in on so-called Black leadership, the failure of the two-party trap, and what it’s really going to take for Black folks to organize power from the living room to the block. This conversation ain’t about fear—it’s about strategy, clarity, and survival.
Dr. Wilmer Leon is a political scientist at Morgan State University, host of "Connecting the Dots" Podcast on his YouTube channel (@DrWilmerLeon), and one of the sharpest voices in Black political thought. His commentary is fearless, rooted in history, and always on point.
