Left of Black host and Duke University Professor Mark Anthony Neal is joined on location at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania by Natanya Duncan, Assistant Professor of History and Africana Studies at Lehigh University.

Neal and Duncan discuss the under-studied role of Black women in the organizing efforts of Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Organization (UNIA), particularly in the organization’s branches in the deep South, the role of Black women in the Movement for Black Lives and the myth that #BlackLivesMatter lacks leadership.
