In celebration of Black History Month, Mike Estes appears to discuss with us, Black Freethought from the 1900's to 1950's. We will look at many of the very influential black freethinkers, unknown to most, that were involved in the civil rights movement and black intellectualism.
Mike is currently a member of the Atheist Coalition of San Diego, and has been involved with freethought organizations in the San Diego area for over fifteen years. He was raised as a Baptist until age twelve, when he read The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Introduction to African Civilizations by atheist John G. Jackson; that started him on a journey from religion to atheism that took over ten years to complete.
Mike has a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from San Diego State University, is an Air Force veteran, and is currently taking time off from his career as a Quality Assurance Software Engineer, in part to spend more time on issues related to freethought and church-state separation.

"That is our tradition! A tradition of educating ourselves and beating the odds and mastering the rules that white society have put on us, and once you master those rules then you can change the rules." - Mike Estes - Speaking out in response to those that don't find value in speaking the white man's English well.
