Mr. LuckyM.A., Master of Advocacy and Political Leadership (MAPL)M.S., Graduate Student, School of Urban EducationSee My Book: www.weusoursluckybooks.comThe Metro State Black Student Achievers Podcast was created to reach Black youth in charter schools, churches, recreation centers, barbershops, hair salons, and community spaces where many have been led to believe higher education is not for them. The mission is to bring real stories of Metro State students and graduates directly into these environments so young people hear voices that reflect their identities, experiences, and potential. The podcast also functions as an instructional tool, with select episodes paired with lesson plans highlighting Black innovators including the Black nurse who invented the home security system, the Freedom House Ambulance Service—the first modern EMS—and the Black nurses who served in every major American war. These materials help students collaborate with peers, complete activities at home, and allow educators to integrate the content into their courses. The mission also models self‑determination by showing this podcast was created without begging for money, without seeking validation, and by embracing the mindset of asking “What can I do?” instead of “What can’t I do?” The vision is to cultivate a generation of Black youth who see themselves as scholars, innovators, and leaders, transforming community spaces into learning spaces, elevating overlooked Black excellence, and building a culture where young people pursue goals with confidence, dignity, and purpose. Black students do not need permission to achieve—they need opportunity, representation, and courage. The podcast stands as an example of what is possible when students lead with purpose and institutions support authentic student voice. It advances the university’s commitments to student leadership, equity, culturally responsive engagement, community partnership, academic access, and the amplification of historically marginalized voices.Lucky is an award‑winning educator and community leader with 15+ years of experience in secondary education, juvenile justice, and public service. He has developed culturally responsive curricula, mentored educators, and taught Leadership, Race in America, and Community Organizing. His work has increased student achievement, reduced disciplinary incidents, and supported legislative efforts that secured over $355,000 for student programs. His leadership has earned recognition across Minnesota and beyond, including induction into the National Society of Leadership and Success, the Pillsbury United Communities Service Award, and commendations from Ramsey County Corrections, the U.S. Army, and state civic institutions. He chaired the Governor’s Legacy Committee, overseeing $240,000 in arts grants with a perfect audit. His background includes roles as Juvenile Probation Officer, Paralegal, Veterans Case Manager, Urban Elder Teacher Coach, Park Police and Military Police Officer. He has authored four books and released a gospel album produced by Numero Records. He holds advanced degrees in Advocacy, Leadership, Social Sciences, Counseling Psychology, Paralegal Studies, and Law Enforcement, and is completing a second master’s in education. “When people talk behind your back, remember—they’re behind you for a reason.” “During struggles, always ask what I can do—never what can’t I do.”At no point does the podcast claim to be an official university production. This being said, we continue to gain listeners. radiotalklr@gmail.com Phone: 773-809-8594

July 4th = Celebrating White Lies

DON'T GET MAD AT ME FOR THE TRUTH COLLEGE STAFF See My Lesson Plan Below Black Americans: Nothing But the Truth All parents, teachers, and fellow Americans must listen to this episode. Share it with someone—then ask them to share it with someone else. Keep it moving. Keep the truth alive. "We were never told the full story about Black Americans and the American Revolution. Pull up images of the Battle of Bunker Hill and Washington’s crossing of the Delaware. Look closely. Find the Black patriots. Learn the truth." Mr. Positive. 🧭Lesson Plan to Be Used with This Podcast: Reclaiming Black Patriots of the American Revolution Presented by the Positive People USA Podcast 🎯 Learning Objectives (with Examples) Students will: * Identify and explain the contributions of Black patriots in the Revolutionary War, such as: * Wentworth Cheswell, the first Black elected official in U.S. history, who rode north in 1774 to warn of British troop movements. * James Armistead Lafayette, a double agent whose intelligence helped secure victory at Yorktown in 1781. * Analyze how post-Civil War political forces erased Black contributions from historical narratives, using: * David Barton’s claim that Southern Democrats rewrote textbooks between 1870–1890 to support segregation and suppress Black patriotism. "Verbal Presentation." * Evaluate primary sources to restore historical truth, including: * William Cooper Nell’s 1855 book, The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution, which documents figures like Crispus Attucks and Salem Poor. 📈 Learning Outcomes By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: * Name and describe at least five Black patriots, including: * Peter Salem, who killed British Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill (June 17, 1775). * Phillis Wheatley, who corresponded with George Washington in 1775–76, praising his leadership through poetry. * Explain the mechanisms of historical erasure, such as: * The removal of Black figures from post-Reconstruction textbooks to justify Jim Crow policies and white supremacy. * Create a civic restoration message that reclaims a forgotten legacy, such as: * A podcast script honoring Lemuel Haynes, the first Black ordained Protestant minister, who preached liberty and pastored churches in Massachusetts and New York. 🧪 Assessment Formative: * Quick write: “Why was Wentworth Cheswell’s election in 1768 historically significant?” * Group discussion: Analyze Prince Whipple’s symbolic presence in Washington Crossing the Delaware and its implications for visual legacy. * Draw a picture and explain the significance of any part of the podcast that strikes you as important. Summative: * Civic Restoration Project: Students will produce a mini-podcast script, PSA, or infographic that reclaims one Black patriot’s legacy and critiques the mechanisms of historical erasure. * Rubric will assess: * Historical accuracy (dates, locations, roles) Comments to: radiotalklr@gmail.com [radiotalklr@gmail.com]

Their Flag vs. Your Cross at Work

Min. Lucky's Observation Plan Lesson Plan: Observing Inclusion and Institutional Behavior on Campus Learning Objectives 1. Students will identify visible signs of inclusion and exclusion on campus by analyzing symbols, policies, and classroom behaviors. Example: noticing Pride flags in common areas compared to the absence of crosses or Bibles on desks. 2. Students will evaluate how institutional practices shape classroom dialogue and influence which viewpoints feel safe to express. Example: observing when instructors avoid topics involving religion, race, or political disagreement. Learning Outcomes 1. Students will document at least three examples of selective inclusion based on campus observations. Example: tampons in men’s restrooms vs. restrictions on religious symbols. 2. Students will explain how institutional norms affect student learning using evidence from class discussions or campus spaces. Example: describing how instructors redirect conversations that challenge dominant narratives. 5E Learning Model Engage: Students view images of campus spaces (desks, restrooms, offices) and discuss what symbols or messages appear most often. Explore: Students walk through designated campus areas to observe visible inclusion practices and note what is present vs. absent. Explain: Students share findings and connect them to concepts of inclusion, conformity, and institutional culture. Elaborate: Small groups analyze how selective inclusion influences classroom dialogue, student comfort, and intellectual diversity. Evaluate: Students reflect on whether campus inclusion practices support or limit diverse viewpoints. Formative Assessment Exit Ticket: Students write one observed example of selective inclusion and one question they still have about how institutions shape which viewpoints are welcomed or avoided.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
