About this listen

For Black History Month this year, Joc sits down with Joseph Landon, founder of JoJo's Ventures, and they get straight into it: Black history IS American history, and if you don't know that by now, this conversation will set you straight. They talk about the Great Migration and how it shaped New York City, the reality of gentrification pushing out the very communities that built the culture, and how JoJo's Trip Advisor award-winning tours are reclaiming the narrative. With NYC's 200th anniversary on the horizon, they break down what it means to preserve history, honor legacy, and use tourism as a tool for cultural upliftment. From the streets of Harlem to the stories that don't make it into textbooks, this episode is a masterclass in why knowing where we came from matters.
