Tee Vee "For The People"

One of the many Afrocentric Listservs that clog my inbox daily provided me with this link, and for that I’m very grateful.

“For The People” was a Black public affairs television show that was unapologetically African-centered. When I first moved to the Washington, D.C. area from the New York tri-state area, I was having serious “Like It Is” withdrawal. Discovering “For The People” on WHUT-TV (then WHMM-TV) was like a surprise gift from Shango.

I miss this program and its host, Listervelt Middleton. Like his guest, Middleton is now an Ancestor.
