Welcome, to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and

analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Glen Ford with my co-host,
Nellie Bailey.


- Half of this summer’s political drama will play

out in Philadelphia, where the Democrats are holding their national
convention. Bill Clinton launched into a political tirade, earlier this
month, when activists from the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice
denounced the former president’s mass Black incarceration and anti-poor
peoples policies. Bill Clinton ranted and raved for 13 minutes, and then
issued a back-handed, non-apology the next morning. We asked Megan
Malachi, spokesperson for the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice, if they
were surprised at the venomousness of Clinton’s response.


- Dr.

Anthony Monteiro is a Duboisian scholar and veteran activist who was one
of the founders of the Black Radical Organizing Committee, which held a
national conference on the Black Radical Tradition, earlier this year.
We asked Dr. Monteiro what kind of reception Black Philadelphia will
give the Democrats when they hold their national convention, in July.


-

St. Mary’s Church, in New York’s Harlem, was packed, this month, for a
national conference on the 2016 Elections and Black Self-Determination.
The event was organized by the Black Is Back Coalition for Social
Justice, Peace and Reparations. Coalition chairman Omali Yeshitela said
the electoral process is not the only means of struggle. In fact, it’s
not even the most important means of political struggle.


- Diop

Olugbala is an African Socialist Party activist, based in Philadelphia.
He spoke on one of the Black Is Back Coalition’s principal demands:
Black community control of the police.


- Our own Nellie Bailey,

co-host of Black Agenda Radio, addressed the Black Is Back Coalition
national conference. Bailey is a veteran Harlem tenants organizer. She
spoke on the demand for Black self-determination and the centrality of
the housing issue.
