Africans enslaved in the Americas have been resilient for hundreds of years. One of the ways is that they would pass on encouragement. They would encourage each other to do better. If you want to find freedom, follow the drinking gourd. During Juneteenth, celebrate that we know how to fight. We know how to win.
We’d like to thank the Alliance for Community Media Foundation for awarding TV Talk with the Sistas with the Audio Programming! Congratulations and thank you to all who worked tirelessly on this project.
An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

Now, she’s not just fighting for her future—she’s fighting for her life. Dive into a gripping tale of faith, danger, and the difficult choices we make when our destiny is on the line.
