Black Agenda Radio – 04.04.16
Welcome, to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and
analysis from a Black Left perspective with Glen Ford and his co-host,
Nellie Bailey.
- The city of Greenville, South Carolina, has
witnessed two large funerals in recent days: one for a white cop, the
other, for a young Black man who the police claimed killed the officer,
and then committed suicide. Black young people in Greenville don’t buy
the police version of Deontaye Perry Mackey’s death, and neither does
Efia Nwangaza, director of Greenville’s Malcolm X Center for
Self-Determination.
- Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Chicago-based
minister who ran for president as a Democrat in 1984 and 1988, came to
Columbia University in New York for a conversation on the current
election with Dr. Cornel West, who is supporting Bernie Sanders for
president. Rev. Jackson was asked if he’s endorsed anyone in the
Democratic primaries.
- Dr. Cornel West, the Sanders supporter, is
based at Union Theological Seminary, just across the street from
Columbia University. Dr. West said he understands that Rev. Jackson
might want to stand “above the fray.”
- Dr. Marsha
Coleman-Adebayo, the Black Agenda Report editor and columnist, attended
three of the recent congressional hearings on the poisoning of the water
system in Flint, Michigan. Adebayo used to work for the federal
Environmental Protection Agency. She successfully sued the agency, and
was the key actor in passage of legislation to protect whistle blowers
from government retaliation. Adebayo said the poisoning of Flint was a
deliberate act.
- Umi Saleh, the leader of the Florida-based Dream
Defenders, who was formerly known as Phillip Agnew, spoke recently with
Pascal Robert, a frequent contributor to Black Agenda Report. Saleh
talked about Movement politics and the limitations – and dangers – of
over-dependence on social media.
