Black Agenda Radio - 05.16.16
Welcome to the radio magazine, that gives you a weekly hour of
African American political thought and action, news, commentary and
analysis from a Black Left perspective with your host Glen Ford and his
co-host, Nellie Bailey.
- Dilma Rousseff, of the Brazilian
Workers Party, was removed from her office as president, last week, and
put on trial by the nation’s Senate on charges of manipulating the
budget. Rousseff is not accused of any acts of personal corruption, but
about 60 percent of the Senators that will be judging her DO face
corruption charges. Rousseffs Worker’s Party says the impeachment
proceedings amount to a “soft coup,” and they will fight it out in
streets. Dr. Gerald Horne is a prolific author and professor of history
and African American Studies at the University of Houston. He says the
right-wing move against Rousseff must be understood in a global context.
- Socialist
Alternative Party leader Kshama Sawant is circulating a petition asking
Bernie Sanders to run as an independent if his campaign for the
Democratic presidential nomination is unsuccessful. Sawant says Sanders
should either run on the Green Party ticket or pave the way for a new
party of the 99 percent. The Green Party will choose its presidential
candidate in August, and the nominee is expected to be Dr. Jill Stein.
We asked Dr. Stein, Aren’t the Greens already a Party of the 99%?
- A
statewide work stoppage by inmates at Alabama prisons seems to be
winding down. The protest was organized by inmates of the Free Alabama
Movement. Pastor Kenneth Glascow has been negotiating on behalf of the
prisoners. Glascow has himself served a term in prison. He now head a
prison reform group called TOPS, which stands for “The Ordinary People
Society.” Glascow is the half-brother of Rev. Al Sharpton. Pastor
Glascow talked to us about the prisoners’ grievances.
- Inside the
prison walls, the work stoppage was organized by inmate activists like
Bennu Hannibal, a leader of the Free Alabama Movement. Hannibal spoke to
Prison Radio, from the St. Clair Correctional Facility.
