NextUs818 Podcast is a reflective platform for connecting past successes with future progress in the African-American community. There are many African-American heroes who helped build this country. Some were the first or only in their fields of endeavor. Yet little is known about how their unique journeys influenced the trajectories of their familial legacies…their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews. NextUs818 Podcast, hosted by Doc JaeCi, introduces us to the multi-generational descendants of these heroes. Join us on the first and third Wednesdays of each month to hear their stories.Doc JaeCi Social Sciences
