Prometheus Unbound

Got my newsletter in the mail yesterday. Regardless of the European name, the Prometheus Radio Project is doing Shango’s work. 🙂 The project is an activist group attempting to provide the world’s voiceless and informationally disenfranchised with low-power radio stations. I was very impressed with its presentation when I first learned about the project at a Washington, D.C. meeting of Consumers Union earlier this year. If I return to Howard University this fall, I plan on using the DVD the project’s leaders were kind enough to give me. It showed the project and a small group in Tanzania jointly create such a station for a particular community. Helping people to find their voices and to informationally control their communities—particularly in the African World—is vitally important work in the Information Age.
