In February of 2021, Karen Hunter asked Greg Carr, "Can I press record?" during a private discussion on Ida B. Wells. That kicked off what would become "In Class with Carr," a global phenomenon featuring the People's Professor Dr. Greg Carr.

    S E1345: In Class with Carr Episode 344: “Intergenerational Warriors”
    12 Oct 2026
    This week’s In Class With Carr comes from the Annual Convening of the National Conference of Black Lawyers. NCBL, founded in 1968 to serve as the Legal Arm of the Movement for Black Liberation, brings together lawyers, scholars, organizers, judges, legal workers, law students and legal activists to enhance our collective ability to struggle for full social, political and economic rights. Today’s discussion uses an Africana Studies Conceptual Category framework to frame “law” as both concept and tool, not to create a "more perfect union" in the United States or elsewhere but as a battlefield for resistance and collective local, state-level and global self-determination.This is intergenerational, multigenerational work, connected through an unbroken genealogy and bridging gaps between elders and youngers in exchanges of experience, knowledge, ability and innovative energy. In a moment of both heightened opportunity and challenge, we must challenge our intergenerational warriors to use globally-anchored strategies, to defend institutional memory, and to anchor legal and policymaking battles in African Intelligence (AI).Are you a member of Knarrative?

  • S E1344: In Class With Carr Episode 343: “Saving Institutions from Social Ignorance”

    S E1344: In Class With Carr Episode 343: “Saving Institutions from Social Ignorance”
    5 Oct 2026
    What happens when a society has access to more information but suffers an underdeveloped capacity for collective understanding? In this week’s In Class With Carr, the concept of "Super Ignorance" is used to label contemporary relationships between education, power, technology, culture, and collective memory and action. Continuing Session 342’s discussion of deepened literacy and slow learning as Ways of Knowing that also combat hostile Social Structures, we include additional examples centering these traits in struggles over what can and should be taught, emphasizing that learning is never just the acquisition of information.Using the Africana Studies Conceptual Category method, we ask who controls knowledge, how communities preserve and interpret it and how systems of power can produce ignorance even amid unprecedented access to information. Donald Trump’s absurdist injection of "super intelligence" as a label to mask predatory relationships between social control and human learning obscures a deeper dilemma. The problem for oppressed people is not simply whether machines can process more information for their individual use (and exploitation), but whether an information-saturated culture fragments collective learning, replacing sustained inquiry and collective action with individualized consumption and manipulated interpretation.Against this, we position select examples of Freedom Schooling, rites of passage, culturally grounded education, teacher collaboration, ritual, art, and memory as Cultural Meaning-Making practices. These practices center and connect Ways of Knowing to Governance purposes in hostile, anti-Black Social Structures. “Saving Institutions from Social Ignorance” asserts that answers cannot be found by simply adding more information or more powerful technologies. Instead, alternatives lie in education grounded in long-view memory, alongside honed and consistent protocols for developing individual capacity to contribute to collective inquiry and action. This is the type of education that teaches people not only how to know, but what knowledge is for.Are you a member of Knarrative?

  • S E1343: In Class with Carr Episode 342: "Cross Colors"

    S E1343: In Class with Carr Episode 342: "Cross Colors"
    28 Sep 2026
    This week’s conversation, "Cross Colors," confronts our current attention-deficit society, one that causes us to forget what happened last week, much less before, and to attempt to command attention with shorthands that too often court obscuring spectacle. We use our Africana Studies framework to examine recent cultural and historical flashpoints: A new book offering even more proof of Thomas Jefferson fathering children across “racial” lines; the unveiling of a new Kwanzaa stamp that replaces Pan-African flag colors with pink, lime green, and yellow pastels; and a new New York Times Magazine article that grapples with dilemmas of collective Black US public education without a mention of education as self-determination and intellectual warfare by Africans in the US during the era of human trafficking and its afterlives.To confront a racialized US and global Social Structure in pursuit of collective power, we continue to ask core Africana Studies Framework questions: What are our best and most effective Governance experiences with educating our children and how do we scale them in hostile, anti-African Social Structures? How do we confront race without centering it as the comparative lens for viewing our humanity? What happens when race obscures our Ways of Knowing, leading to endless debates about crossing colors in a racial state and is racial integration while preserving the whole African person even possible within it? In this conversation, we will be generous with one another, agreeing to agree with love, facts, and in pursuit of self-determining Governance formations.Are you a member of Knarrative?
