    Dr. Ken delivers a powerful Truth centered on righteous anger in Milwaukee’s Black community. From the persistent education gap to economic development that skips over Black neighborhoods and selective “accuracy” in media narratives, the question becomes: are we channeling frustration into strategy — or wasting it? Plus: a Black-owned jazz café closes during Black History Month, former SDC workers are still fighting for payment nearly two years later, and listeners weigh in on whether Wisconsin should permanently revoke driver’s licenses in severe crashes. Is our outrage producing change — or just noise?

    Dr. Ken opens the show with a powerful Truth: to be Black in America is to embody resilience, faith, creativity, and community that have endured generations of pressure. Instead of centering struggle, he highlights what has been preserved — dignity, joy, and spiritual grounding. The conversation expands into a spirited discussion about what it means to be “Black enough,” honoring culture during Black History Month, and why identity debates often miss the bigger picture. Callers Deja and Al spark passionate reactions from Truth Nation, especially as faith and accountability enter the conversation. The hour challenges listeners to stand fully in who they are and reject narrow definitions of Black identity.

Governor Wes Moore’s comments spark a deeper conversation about whether Black elected officials are listening to the people who put them in office. The discussion intensifies with a bold question: Is Barack Obama the de facto leader of Black America? Truth Nation weighs in, and the poll results make one thing clear — leadership isn’t automatic, it’s earned.

    Dr. Ken opens the show reflecting on Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s transformational impact on American politics and the foundation he laid for a multiracial democratic coalition. From Operation PUSH to his historic 1988 presidential run, Dr. Ken explains why Jackson’s leadership changed the trajectory of Black political power. The focus then turns to Black women, as Dr. Ken delivers a heartfelt warning about over functioning — when survival mode becomes identity and strength becomes isolation. He explores how society rewards exhaustion while ignoring the emotional cost of hyper-independence. Listeners engage in real time, affirming that Black women deserve support, softness, and peace. This hour blends political history with personal healing.

The hour also closes with national political tension and continued reaction to the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson. A fast-moving hour filled with news, debate, and unfiltered commentary.
