Black Agenda Radio – 04.11.16
Welcome, to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and
analysis from a Black Left perspective with your host Glen Ford and his
co-host, Nellie Bailey.
- Mississippi’s Republican state
government is trying to strip its mostly Black capital city, Jackson, of
control over its airports and other revenue producing properties. The
state also seems eager to seize the city’s water system. We spoke with
Kali Akuno, of Cooperation Jackson, the political organization that
elected Chokwe Lumumba as, arguably, the most radical Black mayor in the
country, back in 2013. But Mayor Lumumba died the next year, and now
his supporters are fighting from outside. Kali Akuno says the
Mississippi Republican Party is determined to crush all possibility of
Black political and economic power in Jackson. He calls it, “the
Confederate Spring.”
- In New York City’s Harlem, this weekend,
the Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations
held a national conference on the elections and Black
self-determination. The conference explored whether this election season
has opened up new possibilities for a radical, independent Black
politics. Margaret Kimberley, a Black Agenda Report editor and senior
columnist, was one of the speakers.
- Boston-based writer and
activist Danny Haiphong is a regular contributor to BAR. In a recent
article, Haiphong said the fractures in the Republican and Democratic
parties are reflections of the general crisis in the system of
capitalism.
