This week we talk about Childish Gambino's Music Video "This is America". If you haven't yet watched it you can find it here: https://youtu.be/VYOjWnS4cMY

This week we talk about the Religious symbolism in the video. We talk about (very little as time was running out) the African American conversation with Religion in the USA. We talk about the Minstrel Shows. We talk about the history of Music. Here are some of the sources we talked about in the show and we will have a list of other sources we couldn't get to but want to thank.
