African Emasculation and the Lynching Of Jordan Davis (02.21.2013)

TheAngryindian discusses the genocidal results of the Micheal Dunn trial and why the killing of Bro. Jordan Davis is a consequence of intellectual laxity, economic weakness and political ignorance within the African Diaspora at home and abroad. The second half of this dispatch features a frank conversation with Franz Fanon political theorist, the Hon. Bro. Malichi Daniels (@Fanonian) who presents an Afrocentric analysis on legal lynching (Stand Your Ground), cultural genocide (evangelical proselytism in Africa and modern US media) and Black American communal disappointment with Pres. Barack Obama’s astonishing lack of solidarity with African people. He also offers his own opinions on how the African community within the Anglophone paradigm might intelligently address anti-African vigilante violence.

Amiri Baraka - The Homecoming Tribute for The Action Figure, The Instrumentalist of Words, The Writer, The Master Teacher

A Black History Month Special The Homecoming Tribute for The Action Figure, The Instrumentalist of Words, The Writer, The Master Teacher Amiri Baraka The Homecoming tribute of writer and revolutionary icon Amiri Baraka shut down a section of one of downtown Newark’s main streets, dignitary style. African drummers flanked the entry to Newark Symphony Hall, greeting each attendee with ancestral rhythms and setting the tone for what would be a service filled with music, poetry, remembrance and fire; the fire you light when a world-changing, shape-shifting native son has left us. Inside, every seat was taken by those who came from around the corner and around the world for Amiri Baraka, beat poet, Black Nationalist, Marxist, Griot, Shaman, Lighter of Fires; a man whose intellectual and spiritual breadth was reflected in his perpetual search for his truest place in the world and to free others to realize theirs. Poet Saul Williams intoned “This is a stick up. Amiri get out of the coffin”– and with that he conjured up Amiri Baraka’s spirit and lifted ours as did Woody King Jr. and Danny Glover, Asha Bandele, Michael Eric Dyson, Jessica Care Moore and Tony Medina. And Sonia Sanchez was there with an offering from Maya Angelou. And Sister Souljah was there. And Haki Madhubuti was there. And Cornel West was there. And Larry Hamm was there. Oliver Lake, Kevin Maynard and Avery Brooks were there. And Glynn Turman was there. And Ras Baraka was there; the son. The chosen son, the next Mayor of Newark, rhapsodizing, channeling the spirit of his father in an epoch offering - Amiri announcing from the grave the power of a father to shape his son into a reflection of himself and into his own man. This was a revelatory moment for those present at the tribute for Amiri Baraka, The Action Figure, The Instrumentalist of Words, The Writer, The Master Teacher who was forever seared on my cerebellum and soloing in my nervous system. The entire experience was evidence of our collective genius. The People were there…because they could not imagine not being there” and now you’ll be there to. We’ll take you there and you’ll be imbued with the passion of the beloved community, socially engaged people working for empowerment. And amongst the brilliant tributes and encouraging instruction for activism to continue, we’ll weave the poetry, the speeches of Amiri Baraka beckoning us to fan the embers and reignite the struggle for justice. Tune in next week for Ras Baraka, Next Mayor of Newark, part 2 of Building Bridges Amiri Baraka Homecoming Special.

Beautiful RVA

When NYC's renowned garden designer, Lynden Miller, visited Richmond one year ago, she met with interested Richmonders who wanted to be engaged in improving and beautifying their city through the use of green spaces. In the buzz surrounding Miller's visit, organizations connected virtually through the e-newsletter Beautiful RVA, which now involves more than 200 civic and organizational leaders. Beautiful RVA convenes approximately 50 local organizations with missions and resources relating to place-making, design, public horticulture and beautification -- including Venture Richmond, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, the James River Association, and the Partnership for Smarter Growth -- to plan and execute projects. Moreover, volunteer interest in the movement has spread city-wide, and the very idea of the community-based beautification plan emphasizes that the efforts for greening will spring from community interests and be powered by community resources.

Through Fire and Water: Canada Backs Israeli Apartheid

In January, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper took part in a seven day visit of the Middle East which included four days in Israel. The visit reportedly cost Canadian taxpayers $239,000 and included an entourage of more than 200 people which included representatives from prominent Jewish organizations in Canada. The Harper government has distinguished itself as the most ISRAEL friendly Canadian government in recent history, but is this stance significantly at odds with other governments historically? Are there economic as well as political and personal considerations underwriting Canada's cosy relationship with Israel? And what is behind the Harper government's efforts to conflate some criticisms of Israel as "anti-semitism." This special broadcast of the Global Research NEws Hour examines the politics of Canada and Israel with Canadian Foreign Policy critic and author Yves Engler, Anti-war Activist and Press For Conversion Publisher Richard Sanders, and University of Guelph Emeritus Professor of Literary Studies and author Michael Keefer.

Out of the Woods - Show #202 - 2-20-14

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Rioting for Regime Change in Venezuela

Not all riots are created equal. Sometimes, citizens' movements are violently repressed by the state. At other times, isolated rioters attack the police and government, in an effort to provoke destabilizing violence. Guess which is happening in Venezuela?
