Angela Davis Speaks To Occupy New York Folks (From October 30)
re: "Like It Is": Is Imhotep Gary Byrd The Logical Replacement?
I always thought so. (And I always thought once he got it, I would lobby to become his “Like It Is” producer.) But folks have moved on, so….. Maybe something will happen that we’d like, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m glad the brother, who is, sadly, in grief at this writing, is still on the air in 2011. By the way, my “Like It Is” obit is here.
NOVEMBER 22ND UPDATE: A second meeting?!? GREAT!!!!
WAMU's 50th
Enjoyed this!
Jimi And The Black Power Movement
Man, the BBC World Service stuff that NPR airs in the middle of the morning…..! And it’s always fascinating to hear the Black Power Movement discussed in news/history programs. Very rare in American media, which happily and deliberately hides the Black Power Movement within the much more accepted Civil Rights Movement.
re: "Like It Is" (1968-2011): Goodbye, Farewell, Amen
I especially liked when Herb Boyd and Betty Dopson read from “Black Is The Color of My TV Tube.” As an undergraduate, I had that book glued to my body the way many students kept “The Autobiography” in their knapsacks. Bill Cosby said pretty much everything I would have said if I had been on this last show.
U.S. Supreme Court Says, "Not My Business……."
…..so I guess 30 (!) years in, they’ll be more legal wrangling before the inevitable. Not exactly a victory, as Pam Africa said here.
