Under the backdrop of our nation’s 250th anniversary, Our Seven Neighbors, season 5, explores the long, contested history of religious diversity in the United States—not as a feel-good celebration of pluralism, but as a hard-won achievement forged through conflict, exclusion, resistance, and moral struggle. Against the rising influence of Christian nationalism and the persistent myth that the U.S. was founded as a singularly “Christian nation,” this series offers a corrective grounded in historical reality. Hosted by Reza Aslan.

Hosted by Rev. Brian E. Smith, this season centers stories gathered for our Rev. Jesse Jackson oral archive project. Each episode includes segments from our Chicago Civil rights leaders interviews, paired with voices from modern community, faith and social justice movements. This episode features a part of an interview with Rev. Dr. Janette Wilson, Advisor to Rev. Jesse Jackson and Director of PUSH Excel. Then our host gets into conversation with Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, a retired bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 2000, McKenzie became the first woman to be elected as bishop in the denomination's history.
