  • Summary

  • This week, I'm excited to have Erick Nganyange, the creator and host of the Iowa Civil Rights History podcast, on my show today. Erick and I are discussing the book For Labor, Race, and Liberty - George Edwin Taylor, His Historic Run for the White House, and the Making of Independent Black Politics by Bruce L. Mouser. This book tells the fascinating story of Taylor, who ran for President of the United States in 1904 as a member of the newly formed African American political party, the National Liberty Party. Erick and I dive into Taylor's remarkable life journey, from being orphaned at a young age to becoming a prominent journalist and labor activist. We explore how his personal experiences shaped his political views and his trailblazing campaign. Erick and I also explore the parallels between the challenges faced by Black political movements in the 19th century and the ongoing struggles for representation and empowerment in the Black community today. We consider the lessons we can learn from historical figures like George Edwin Taylor and how their stories can inspire us to continue the fight for justice and equity.
