More selections from the recent talk by the longtime host of "Democracy Now!" Goodman explores the corruption of the corporate media and shows ordinary people fighting back against the System--sometimes successfully.
This week she tells of KPFT-FM vs. the Klan ... the 2015 murder of Black church members in Charleston ... Bree Newsome's heroic (if felonious) cuting down of the Confederate flag from the Statehouse lawn. Plus tales of Emmett Till, Rosa Parks, and more.
Plus a song by David Rovics.
Goodman spoke in Cambridge on May 10, 2016. The original 75-minute recording--which I have condensed and edited--courtesy of Stan Robinson for Truth and Justice Radio (truthandjusticeradio.org). The original is available on radio4all.net.
Goodmans new book (with Denis Moynihan and David Goodman) is "Democracy Now!: 20 Years Covering the Movements Changing America."
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "gun") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
