Micheaux Mission – Details, episodes & analysis

Vincent and Len marvel at THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF DORIS PAYNE, an 80-year-old jewel thief on absolutely unrepentant glory. But first they partake in recasting of Sinners circa the 90s, suggested by a listener, and unveil a new feature dedicated to celebrating the under-celebrated Black actresses of yesterday and today - With/And - beginning with Fredi Washington, who lived anything but an Imitation of Life. Six Degrees of D'urville Martin connects the blaxploitation legend with Hollywood burglars Cary Grant and Michael Madsen.

It's the season's last show, stuffed with the John Singleton vs Spike Lee debate, Black actress colorism, the enigma named Clifton Powell, Top Five, Six Degrees, emails, and more. Oh yeah -- and we watched Ice Cube's Friday After Next; so that happened.

In Americus, Georgia, 1963, three young girls meet at a local protest, only to face chilling consequences for demanding justice.

Introducing The Stolen Girls of Americus, PushBlack’s new true crime narrative podcast, based on the true story of more than a dozen Black girls (ages 9 to 15) who were abducted by police during a 1963 protest in Americus, Georgia, where, for 45 days, their whereabouts remained a mystery to their family, community, and the world. Echoing the long history of missing Black girls, what happened next remains relevant today.
