Abstract
This episode of "Like It Is" features U.S. Congressman Louis Stokes discussing critical issues facing Black America and the nation. He emphasizes the need for skepticism toward untested economic policies like supply-side economics, which he believes disproportionately benefit the wealthy while harming the poor and minorities. Stokes highlights the ongoing racial inequalities, the importance of political vigilance, and the necessity for Black communities to unite and organize for justice. He condemns racism, including the activities of groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and calls for greater awareness and collective action to build a more unified and equitable society. He advocates for Black Americans to draw strength from historical leaders and to organize coalitions for freedom and progress.
