The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn & Open Mike Eagle is a socially aware stand-up and music series. Vaughn and Eagle took inspiration for the series and title from the term "New Negro," as popularized during the Harlem Renaissance, and it refers to black Americans speaking up, telling their own stories and affirming their various identities to dismantle outdated assumptions and beliefs.
Baron and Mike discuss the New Negro movement, Chris Redd talks about his uncle’s crack addiction, and Danny Brown and Mike make a music video about expressing anger.
Sasheer Zamata talks about the first time she went camping, and Lizzo and Mike drop a music video about a guy who’s extra into consent.
