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.

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.

Well done, sir. The Realm of the Ancestors has another champion.

I will never forget your cooperation and kindness as I reported and wrote one of my all-time favorite stories. May The Ancestors greet you into their realm with great joy.
Dear "Occupy Wall Street:" I Admire You, But Would You Please……
….read about the Civil Rights, Black Power, and anti-Vietnam Movements so you can understand how police respond when you threaten white property and capitalism. (You can start, of course, with my book and this one I’m in. 😉 This classic I’m currently scanning-to-re-reading will help as well.) Boy, your white skin REALLY shows here! LOL!

A magnificent 43-year run comes to an end. If people do what they’re supposed to do, this program will neither be gone or forgotten. So let’s just wait and see.
