They’ve seen an interstate cut their once-thriving neighborhood in half. They’ve seen their community cut off from the commercial and cultural engines of the city. They’ve seen racialized terror visited on their own backyards. But through it all, they’ve fought to hold onto the place they love.

We Are North Nashville: The Podcast is about the lives of elders who call North Nashville home, in their own words. It’s about the ways the elders have kept joy alive in their neighborhood in spite of all the challenges it has faced. It’s about the history that newcomers to the city don’t always know, or even think to ask about. It’s about walking the streets and still seeing the way people held this place together, even when city planners set about ripping it apart.

This is a show about North Nashville. It’s also a story about the United States, where Black communities have been cut apart, razed and deprived for generations in the name of progress that does not include them. More importantly, We Are North Nashville is what happens when the people who live history get to tell it.

On September 13, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed what is arguably the most significant piece of legislation from his tenure as president—the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, otherwise known as the 1994 Crime Bill. It was the largest crime legislation in the history of the United States, allocating billions of dollars to hire more cops and build more prisons.

And today, 30 years later, as our country reckons with the past decades of mass incarceration, the bill has received widespread backlash, blamed in part for the carceral system we have now. But was it to blame?

From the Vera Institute of Justice, this is The 30-Year Project, a four-part limited series hosted by writer and journalist Josie Duffy Rice looking at the impact the legislation had—and examining where mass incarceration is in America today. We tell the story of the 1994 Crime Bill by talking to advocates, academics, directly impacted people, and a few of the bill’s original supporters. Plus, the series takes a deeper look at the real drivers of mass incarceration and lays out where we are, where we’ve been, and—most importantly—what comes next.

Antisemitism has deep roots in American history. Yet in the United States, we often talk about it as if it were something new. We’re shocked when events happen like the Tree of Life Shootings in Pittsburgh or the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, but also surprised. We ask, “Where did this come from?” as if it came out of nowhere. But antisemitism in the United States has a history. A long, complicated history. A history easy to overlook. Join us on Antisemitism, U.S.A., a limited podcast series hosted by Mark Oppenheimer, to learn just how deep those roots go.
