Black Agenda Radio – 03.21.16
Welcome, to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and
analysis from a Black Left perspective with Glen Ford and co-host Nellie
Bailey.
– the Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice,
Peace and Reparations will hold a national conference on the
presidential elections and Black self-determination, on April 9th,
in New York’s Harlem. Coalition chairman Omali Yeshitela says the
electoral arena is only one aspect of politics, and has historically
been the LEAST useful for Black people.
- Veteran
activist and historian Paul Street last week published an article
titled, “Bernie, Black and Blue: Reflections on Race in the Democratic
Primaries.” This month, large numbers of Black, brown and white
demonstrators – some of them Bernie Sanders supporters – went to a
Donald Trump rally in Chicago and shut it down. Sanders was not pleased.
Although the Vermont senator claims to want to start a political
revolution, he doesn’t like the idea of disruption.
- One of those
who testified, last week, at congressional hearings on the poisoning of
Flint, Michigan’s water supply was Prof. Marc Edwards, of Virginia Tech
University. Edwards slammed the federal Environmental Protection Agency
for “creating the climate” in which the Flint poisoning occurred. He
has these other choice words for the leadership of the EPA.
-
Political prisoner Mondo Welanga, from Omaha, Nebraska, died in his cell
at the Nebraska State penitentiary, this month, at the age of 68. Mumia
Abu Jamal, the nation’s best known political prisoner, mourns the
passing of a fighter and a poet.
- Last year, Mondo Welanga recorded one of his poems for Prison Radio. It’s titled, “When It Gets to This Point.”
