"Black Journal" host Tony Brown explores the history and future of psychic predictions in America. Historian Dr. Edward Peters — author of "Witchcraft in Europe" — traces how the concept of "psychics," "seers," and political prophecy evolved from the 18th century to the 1970s. Then, psychic Lillian Cosby revisits her past predictions—including Watergate, Richard Nixon's resignation, and Gerald Ford's rise—while offering predictions for America's future during the 1976 Bicentennial year. "Black Journal" was a monthly series of one-hour interconnected programs produced for, about, and — to a large extent — by Black Americans. The series reports on the achievements, concerns, and the attitudes of the nation’s Black citizens. National Psychic Day is observed on the first Sunday in August.
