Human Rights and Justice Episode 103 with host Nkechi Taifa invites you to experience the peaceful serenity of Brother Veronza Bowers, finally free after being imprisoned for 51 years. This impromtu interview was recorded in person in July 2024, several months after his release from federal prison, and explores aspects of his background growing up in Jim Crow/Apartheid America, stories from his prison life, the power of healing, the Shakuhachi flute, and more.  Because the sound of his blowing the Shakuhachi did not come during this recording, listen to a clip from one of his pieces at the end of the interview, visit his Instagram page (VeronzaBowers) and be mesmerized by his soothing sounds!

On Sept. 12th Omali Yeshitela, Chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) and two others were  found not guilty of charges of being agents of the Russian government. Despite being a stalwart self-determination revolutionary for over 50 years, Yeshitela was accused of working under the direction and control of the Russian government.  The verdict is in - the U.S. government lied and lost. The Uhuru Movement told the truth and won. The government's goal to discredit speech by Black and other colonized peoples backfired. Human Rights and Justice episode 102 discusses the over 50-year history of the APSP, Uhuru Movement, and Solidarity Arm, as well as its Reparations Arm, African National Reparations Organization.
