About this episode

Eddy (DaOriginalOne) David discusses the impact of digital erasure on history and community memory.

Eddy (DaOriginalOne) David, Ottawa and Toronto hip hop pioneer and spoken word artist, joins Afropolitan Dialogues to unpack how our history quietly disappears online and offline. We trace the gentrification of Little Jamaica, the demolition of Honest Ed's, and the loss of community radio archives, then explore why critical thinking, oral tradition, and a clear-eyed view of AI remain essential tools for preserving memory.
