Weekly Program
Jay Becker & Marilyn Ross (Ad Hoc Committee for Reason & Dropping the Charges); Micki Dickoff & Tony Pagano (co-driectors of Neshoba: The Price of Freedom); Bob Avakian (Chairman, Revolutionary Communist Party)
Becker and Ross discuss the politically motivated censorship and completely unethical prosecution of Videographer Gregory Koger by the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago; Dickoff and Pagano discuss their film on the murders of three young civil rights workers during Mississippi Freedom Summer in 1964 and the continuing struggle for justice in Neshoba County, Mississippi today; In this excerpt from the talk "Revolution- Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible and What It's All About" Avakian reveals how a Socialist Society would respond to the demand for reparations to Black People for Slavery and the systematic oppression ever since.
