#16.The Dread Act - 1974 Part 2

An island in the Caribbean trembles with unrest.

In Dominica, one of the region’s most controversial laws is enacted: The Dread Act. Officially, it targets “subversive elements.” In reality, it’s a direct strike against the growing Rastafari movement.

In this two-part episode, Earl Steven Forester takes us back to a Dominica gripped by political turmoil, economic despair, and cultural conflict. Through first-hand accounts, archival material, and historical insight, he uncovers the true story behind a law that didn’t just ban dreadlocks—it legitimized violence, mass arrests, and the persecution of an entire culture.

#15. The Dread Act 1974 - Roots Of Repression Part 1

Tune in for a timeless reminder that the road to progress is far from over, and each of us has a part to play in shaping a future built on respect and equality. In a world where women's rights and gender equality are still ongoing struggles, we must continually challenge the systems that perpetuate inequality. Across the globe, women face barriers to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, and often bear the weight of discrimination and violence. The fight for equal rights is not just a women’s issue—it is a human rights issue. Together, we can create a world where women are empowered to thrive, make choices, and have their voices heard in all spheres of life. The journey towards true equality requires not only awareness, but also action—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
