Black Protest, Media Myths, and Collective Power

Ageism, capitalist realism, and the erasure of Black elders

In this episode of This Machine Kills Fascists, Dorian Wallace is joined by Bonita Oliver and DeMarisa Steeley for a deep, multigenerational conversation about coalition building, protest participation, media narratives, and the radical possibilities of Black community care. Together, they explore ageism, capitalist realism, and the erasure of Black elders in movements—while lifting up the healing work of storytelling, resistance, and collective memory.
