Sal (Danny Aiello), um ítalo-americano, é dono de uma pizzaria em Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Com predominância de negros e latinos, é uma das áreas mais pobres de Nova York. Ele é um cara boa praça, que comanda a pizzaria juntamente com Vito (Richard Edson) e Pino (John Turturro), seus filhos, além de ser ajudado por Mookie (Spike Lee). Sal decora seu estabelecimento com fotografias de ídolos ítalo-americanos dos esportes e do cinema, o que desagrada sua freguesia. No dia mais quente do ano, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), o ativista local, vai até lá para comer uma fatia de pizza e reclama por não existirem negros na "Parede da Fama". Este incidente trivial é o ponto de partida para um efeito dominó, que não terminará bem.

This week Women's Running Stories is taking a break and bringing you an episode of Starting Line 1928. This outstanding podcast features in-depth interviews with women running pioneers. The episode I chose features Cheryl Toussaint, the meet director of the Colgate Women's Games and an Olympic silver medalist. Toussaint grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and began running with the Atoms Track Club at age 13. There, Coach Fred Thompson nurtured her athletic talent—and encouraged her academically. Cheryl earned an academic scholarship to New York University and kept training with the Atoms, eventually making the Olympics in 1972; she competed in Munich in the 800 meters and 4x400 relay, where she helped the team make the final—and eventually, win silver—despite losing a shoe. She also began assisting Thompson with his other venture, the Colgate Women's Games, and took over as meet director when he retired in 2014. It's the longest running track and field series for girls and young women in the United States, open to all young women from elementary school through college and beyond, and has launched the careers of many other Olympians and successful women in other fields.  Starting Line 1928 is an oral history project dedicated to preserving the stories of women pioneers in distance running. The project chronicles the individuals who paved the way for a post-Title IX world. Guests have included Olympians (like here), steeplechase pioneers, ultrarunning champions, coaches, and those who fought hard for women to have new opportunities in the sport. Starting Line 1928 was founded in 2020 by Cindy Kuzma, Cara Hawkins-Jedlicka, Freddi Carlip, and Johanna Gretschel and is supported by the Theodore Corbitt Institute for Running History Research.

When my husband and I got married, we bought our first place—a brand-new, 1.5-bedroom condo—in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. At the time, the Bed–Stuy neighborhood was rough—for example, a biker gang that loved to throw huge all-night parties was headquartered at the end of our block, and there were abandoned buildings every few feet, often rustling with the sound of homeless inhabitants. Back in the early aughts, this ZIP code was not for the faint of heart. But at $375,000, a solid C-/D neighborhood was what we could afford in NYC, and our place was new and huge (for Brooklyn) at 1,200 square feet. Plus, I had a hunch. When we first toured the apartment, I went up on the roof and looked out over the neighborhood. From that vantage point, I could see three luxury buildings going up within a few blocks of us. I knew this neighborhood was about to change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

New York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to designate a new historic district in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. Plus, employees of a city-run juvenile detention center are facing federal charges for allegedly taking bribes in exchange for smuggling in contraband. And finally, more than 4 million New York and New Jersey residents' drinking water tested above a new federal threshold for so-called "forever chemicals,” at least once last year. The analysis is the latest from the WNYC newsroom and data reporter Jaclyn Jeffrey-Wilensky.

In honor of the Juneteenth holiday and just in time for the 35th Anniversary of its U.S. release, this is very likely THE signature filmmaking achievement from one of our most important filmmakers.  It was written by, directed by , and also happens to start Oscar-winner Spike Lee in a relatively straightforward fictional tale (though loosely based on some true events) of THE hottest day of the summer in one particular neighborhood of New York.....Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn.  Spike stars as Mookie who works for Sal played by Danny Aiello - Sal owns and operates the only pizzaria in this particular neighborhood, where his two sons  Vito (Ricard Edson) and Pino (John Turturro) also happen to work.  One day, a brassy local nicknamed Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito) comes walking into Sal's Pizzaria and starts asking some provocative questions....things get heated between him and Sal and that's JUST the beginning.  Enter Radio Raheem played by Bill Nunn along who ALSO has some issues to get off of his chest....and he's not alone.  As the day progresses and the heat persists, things get increasingly more tense.....And what results is a powerful film with a powerful ending which made quite the impact back in the Summer of '89....its impact STILL being felt and discussed today. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon WARNING: There are several racial epithets spoken by characters contained within clips from the movie included in this podcast.Send us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. One of the more neglected films of the year was The Education of Sonny Carson, the coming-of-age tale of an inner city kid who moves from life with a street gang to fighting for survival during a stretch in prison. Directed by The Mack's Michael Campus and adapted by civil rights activist Sonny Carson from his autobiography, the film packs a more brutal punch than any movie from its time yet barely gets mentioned these days. Marcus Pinn returns to discuss the film's curiously underwhelming reputation despite its decades-long legacy through hip hop music and influence on the next 50 years of cinema. Even with a messy aesthetic and muddled narrative, Campus' film is an unquestionably powerful artwork that captures individual struggle and the cruel reality of life in Bedford-Stuyvesant with the use of real locations and real Brooklyn gangs.

Join the conversation as Dr. Sean Thomas continues a year long series featuring the amazing groups who make up the NYC running club culture. This week's featured Club is Bedstuy Flyers. BedStuy Flyers was created as a way for people of various backgrounds and abilities to share space, work hard, have fun and always uplift each other along the way.  They believe that running should be accessible, safe and equitable, in Bedford-Stuyvesant and beyond. They have members at all levels, from those who walk the track to multi-marathon finishers. You can join them for free group runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Coaches Tara Mardigan, a nutritionist and certified RRCA coach, also known as the plate coach, founded BedStuy Flyers in March 2017 to create an open and informal track workout in Bedford-Stuyvesant. After a job loss in 2016, she wanted to keep to a routine and would head to the track at Boys and Girls High School in Bed-Stuy on a weekly basis. She was inspired by the speed workouts she had done with Nike Run Clubs, in both Boston and NYC. A member of the November Project free fitness movement since 2012, she knew that accountability and community-building were a recipe for success and started inviting friends to her Track Tuesdays.  Nick Collins is a certified RRCA coach. He is also co-president of our sister club, Crown Heights Running Club, a proud NYC marathoner, and participant in the broader NYC running community.  Nick joined Bedstuy Flyers at its inception, energized by a supportive community showing up year-round and giving their best.

Visit storyrealestate.com. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-kevin-mccarthy-removed-as-house-speaker?utm_campaign=64487 Kevin McCarthy REMOVED as House Speaker Members of the House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to oust Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The final tally showed 216 in favor of the motion to vacate, while 210 were opposed. Though McCarthy is no longer third in line to the presidency, he will retain his seat. The House will now have to decide who, if anyone, has enough votes to take over as Speaker. Until then, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) will act as Speaker pro tempore. Earlier Tuesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) stood and repeated his motion to vacate. Rep Tom Cole (R-OK) rose to offer to table that motion. The 15-minute vote saw 208 Republicans vote in favor of McCarthy's leadership, and 11 against. All Democrats were in favor of vacating. Following a 60-minute back and forth between those for and against vacating McCarthy's position, the final vote was taken. Gaetz was able to initiate proceedings on his own thanks to the inclusion of the Jeffersonian Motion in the deal made when McCarthy accepted the Speakership in January. Under the agreement, a single person was permitted to introduce a motion to remove McCarthy if he "goes back on his word or policy agenda." In the months since, McCarthy has been criticized by members of his own party for decisions regarding the appropriation of funds to Ukraine, among other things. He recently drew ire from Gaetz and his crew for teaming up with Democrats to pass a 45-day stopgap resolution to keep the government running, despite there not being a properly passed continuing resolution. "You don't know chaos until you've seen where this Congress and this uniparty is bringing us," the Florida Congressman said in response to suggestions from reporters that removing the Speaker would throw the House into disarray. Others, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), disagreed with Gaetz, and indicated that they would support McCarthy. "I agree with you we need serious change," Greene said, "but there is no plan and no one capable even stepping up. Last time Freedom Caucus threw out a Speaker, we ended up with Paul Ryan who did not support President Trump’s agenda. Nothing can truly change until Trump is back in the WH." Prior to the vote, McCarthy admitted it was "likely" that he would be vacated, noting that if all Democrats sided against him, they would only need five Republican votes. https://dailycaller.com/2023/10/03/dnc-officials-minorities-representation/ DNC Officials Are Freaking Out Because They Can’t Get Enough Minorities To Represent Them High-ranking officials at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are expressing significant worries that the committee is not meeting its self-established minority representation goals, Politico reported. Six present and former committee members are increasingly fretting about the lack of desired diversity among delegates selected to attend the 2023 DNC convention, according to Politico. At the same time, President Joe Biden’s campaign is hemorrhaging minority support, which is crucial for securing a second term. “I keep looking at these diversity goals in big states like New York, like California. And, for some reason, whether it’s the African American community, Black community, the LGBTQ+ community, or Hispanic community, [the] numbers continue to decrease,” political strategist and former chair of the DNC Donna Brazile stated at a recent committee meeting in Washington, D.C., according to Politico. “It raises a red flag in my judgment,” Brazile told Politico in an interview. “And then I try to find out what the hell is it.” Biden’s support among black, Latino and Asian voters plummeted from 63% in July to 47%, according to a Monmouth University poll published on Monday. The poll also found that Trump’s support from these demographics increased from 23% to 33% over the same period of time. The DNC employs a formula to determine delegate diversity figures, which is tailored for each state and considers factors like census data and Democrat-leaning status, according to Politico. “If African Americans are 10 percent of the population, they’re usually like 15-20 percent of the Democratic vote,” political scientist and DNC member Elaine Kamarck stated, according to Politico. “So that’s how the math starts to work for the affirmative action goals.” Biden won the 2020 presidential election with support from more than 70% of nonwhite voters, according to The New York Times. https://nypost.com/2023/10/03/disturbing-video-shows-moment-beloved-activist-poet-is-randomly-stabbed-to-death-in-front-of-girlfriend-on-nyc-street/ Disturbing video shows moment beloved activist, poet is randomly stabbed to death in front of girlfriend on NYC street Disturbing new video shows the moment an activist and poet was randomly stabbed to death in front of his girlfriend – who desperately tried to get help in the aftermath of the harrowing attack in Brooklyn. Ryan Carson, 32, and his girlfriend can be seen sitting on a bus stop bench in Bedford-Stuyvesant and speaking with his girlfriend as the two made their way home from a wedding on Long Island just before 4 a.m. on Monday, according to the surveillance footage. Wearing a gray suit, Carson and the young woman, dressed in a blue, sleeveless gown, get up and begin to walk down the block, in the same direction as a man in a dark colored sweatshirt who had just strolled past the pair at the B38 bus stop, with his hood up over his head and his hands in his pockets. Just feet ahead of them, the stranger begins kicking scooters parked near the curb for no apparent reason, the footage – obtained by The Post on Tuesday – shows. Suddenly, the unhinged man turns to Carson The community activist – who replied that he wasn’t looking at anything – then stepped between his girlfriend and the irate stranger, who began to advance on the couple. “I’ll kill you!” the maniac threatens as Carson pleads with him to “Chill! Chill!” and holds up his hand. But the attacker pursues Carson, pulling a knife, as the victim’s girlfriend – running up behind them – is heard frantically yelling “Please, please, please!” As he runs, Carson tumbles over the bench the couple had earlier been sitting on. The assailant then grabs his jacket and knocks him onto the ground, savagely stabbing him multiple times in the chest as the victim’s girlfriend catches up to them. He then walks away as Carson lies curled up on the ground, before returning and approaching the terrified woman, who raises her hand to stop him. The sicko spits on her – while still clutching the knife – before kicking Carson’s mortally wounded body and storming away. An unknown woman then appears near the corner of the frame, yelling, “Don’t hurt him!” at the crazed man and repeating what sounds like the name “Brian” or “Bryan.” Investigators believe that woman and the suspect knew each other prior to the slaying, police sources said Tuesday. “I’m so sorry!” the same woman exclaims as she approaches Carson, still lying on the sidewalk, as his worried girlfriend stands at his side. The video cuts off as the girlfriend kneels over her loved one’s body, gently moving his arm that had been hanging over his face. She held her gravely injured boyfriend in her arms before he was rushed to Kings County Hospital Center, but it was too late – as the stab wound had pierced his heart, according to cops and sources. The horrific attack happened at Lafayette Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard, just blocks from the Bedford-Nostrand avenues train station, where the couple had gotten off the subway on their way home from the wedding, cops said. No arrests had been made in the heinous crime by Tuesday afternoon, but a “Wanted” poster circulated showing a close-up of the suspect wearing a black “Champion” sweatshirt. Men, this is a somber reminder it’s always a good idea to carry a firearm to protect yourself and those you love. And finally… https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-airport-now-sheltering-hundreds-of-illegal-migrants-as-city-waits-on-tents Chicago Airport Now Sheltering Hundreds Of Illegal Migrants As City Waits On Tents Chicago is now sheltering hundreds of illegal migrants at O’Hare International Airport as the city waits for new shelters to be built. The hundreds of recent arrivals, including babies and the elderly, live in a shuttle bus center at the airport’s Terminal 1, where they sleep on cardboard and use airport bathrooms, the Associated Press reported. Up to 500 migrants have lived at O’Hare at the same time in the crowded area where privacy is a curtain closed with staples, although the migrants have spread out beyond the curtain, some sleeping along windows as travelers walk by. Medical care is limited, and germs reportedly spread quickly in the living area. A private firm watches the migrants and their activities. The haphazard shelter situation has raised concerns about public health as well as safety. “It was supposed to be a stop-and-go place,” said Vianney Marzullo, one of the few volunteers at O’Hare. “It’s very concerning. It is not just a safety matter, but a public health matter.” Some migrants are also living at Chicago’s other airport, Midway International Airport, about 20 miles south of O’Hare. Others are sleeping on the floors of police stations. Chicago has been scrambling to respond to a migrant crisis before the cold winter months arrive. The country’s third-largest city has experienced an influx of about 14,000 migrants recently, many from Venezuela, and has already spent at least $250 million on the issue. Last month, the city of Chicago signed a $29.4 million contract with a private security firm to build massive winterized camps for newly arrived illegal migrants. The firm will be responsible for building, staffing, and operating the huge tents, which must be able to house between 250 and 1,400 migrants. Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson faced pushback last month when he asked all 50 city council members to find two acres in their wards for a large tent that could house 200 migrants. “I’ve looked in my ward. I just don’t have any available space. I have one of the most dense wards in the city,” Alderman Brian Hopkins, whose ward includes parts of downtown, said last month. In the meantime, Chicago leaders have been begging the federal government for help with the migrant crisis. “Let me state this clearly: the city of Chicago cannot go on welcoming new arrivals safely and capably without significant support and immigration policy changes,” Johnson said in late August. The federal government has already given Chicago and Illinois at least $8.5 million for the migrant crisis. Other major cities are battling a migrant problem as well. New York City is struggling to process about 113,000 migrants who have streamed into the city since last summer. New York also set up tent shelters for migrants last year but ran into issues, including flooding in one of those shelters. Other cities like Boston and Atlantic City, New Jersey, have rejected the idea of sheltering migrants in airports.

Antonio and Ward dive into the vibrant pages of James and Karla Murray's new book "Store Front NYC: Photographs of the City's Independent Shops, Past and Present" on this episode of Street Shots. The Murrays recount their serendipitous journey, starting from documenting the graffiti art scene in the late '90s to capturing the rapid transformations of NYC's iconic mom-and-pop stores. The book, a testament to the city's cultural evolution, captures the spirit of neighborhoods spread across the five boroughs. The duo discusses the challenges of capturing these ever-evolving spaces and the poignant stories of the store owners. The conversation takes a deeper turn as James and Karla reflect on the emotional ties New Yorkers have with these corner stores, especially the immigrants who found both livelihood and community in them. With many of these shops now only memories, the Murrays hope their work sparks a renewed appreciation for these unique, irreplaceable facets of New York's identity. Their photographs stand as both a celebration and a call to preserve the city's soul. The book "Store Front" will be available on September 19th and can be preordered now at Amazon. ----more---- JAMES and KARLA MURRAY - Website, YouTube, Instagram, "Store Front" from Prestel (images courtesy James & Karla Murray) Store Front NYC: Photographs of the City's Independent Shops, Past and Present   (Richard's Barber Shop, Nostrand Avenue near Park Place, Crown Heights, 2004. ©James and Karla Murray)   (Katy's Candy Store, Tompkins Avenue near Vernon Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant, 2004. ©James and Karla Murray)   (CBGB, Bowery at Bleecker Street, East Village, 2005. ©James and Karla Murray)   (D.

Exactly 59 years ago today, on July 18, 1964, the Harlem Race Riot began after a 15-year-old Black teenager was fatally shot by a white off-duty police officer. As news of the police-involved incident spread, thousands of people took to the streets.  Clashes erupted between the protesters and law enforcement. The uprising spread to the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. Both neighborhoods were densely populated by Black people who faced systemic discrimination, housing segregation, and limited access to quality education and job opportunities.  According to reports, one person died, over 100 were injured, and more than 450 were arrested. The uprising was a precursor to several other uprisings that took place across the country. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Falsely Imprisoned for 23 Years: Now He's Received $7 Million The payout “doesn't settle what I went through,” said Derrick Hamilton, who accused the police of fabricating evidence. Photograph by Dana Lixenberg for The New Yorker Derrick Hamilton was wrongfully convicted of murder, and spent more than two decades trying to prove his innocence. Derrick Hamilton's legal education began in 1983, when he was seventeen and in the jail for teen-age boys on Rikers Island. He'd been an enthusiastic student as a child—his family called him Suity, because he liked to wear a suit to school. But in high school he'd begun skipping classes and getting into trouble. At fifteen, he was charged with robbery and sentenced to sixty days in jail. The arrests continued, for petty larceny, assault, criminal use of a firearm. Then, in March of 1983, a bread deliveryman was fatally shot near Lafayette Gardens, the public-housing project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, where Hamilton lived, and he was charged with the murder. He insisted that he had not done it, and entered a plea of not guilty. His father, a livery-cab driver, hired a lawyer named Candace Kurtz to represent him, and she urged him to start studying in the jail's law library, so that he could better understand his predicament. Hamilton is now fifty, tall and heavyset, with a shaved head and a thin scar running down the right side of his scalp. “I took it seriously,” he recalled recently, “because here's some stranger saying, ‘Hey, listen. Get out of wherever you're at. Wake up, kid, this is real.' ” He started spending time in the library, and eventually taught himself enough criminal law to become one of the most skilled jailhouse lawyers in the country. But, in the fall of 1983, two months after Hamilton turned eighteen, a jury found him guilty. He was given thirty-two years to life for the murder and for an earlier, unrelated gun charge, and was sent to Elmira Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison near the Pennsylvania border. There he earned a high-school-equivalency diploma and took a class on how to conduct legal research. In 1985, he was sent to Siberia, as inmates call Clinton Correctional Facility, which is twenty miles from the Canadian border. In the law library there, he met a group of veteran jailhouse lawyers, one of whom gave weekly tutorials on criminal procedure. There is no job description for a jailhouse lawyer. It's an occupation born of desperation: most prisoners cannot afford lawyers, and are eligible for a free attorney only for their first appeal. After that, they have to either learn the law themselves or find a jailhouse lawyer to help them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackierowe/message

Chris Rock Quotes on Life, Success & Comedy (Wisdom Radio) Who is Chris Rock? Chris Rock, (born February 7, 1966, Georgetown, South Carolina, U.S.), American comedian whose popular stand-up routine—which often addressed racial matters—led to a successful film career. Rock grew up in the impoverished Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York. After dropping out of high school at 17 (he later received a high-school-equivalency diploma), Rock played small clubs in the New York area, where he was discovered by comedian-actor Eddie Murphy. After landing parts in Murphy's film Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) and director Keenen Ivory Wayans's I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988), Rock got his big break by earning a spot in 1990 as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. He left the show in 1993 to join the Fox network's In Living Color, which was taken off the air shortly thereafter. After starring in and writing the script for the film CB4 (1993), he covered the 1996 presidential campaign for ABC's Politically Incorrect. Rock then appeared in the first of his HBO comedy specials, Big Ass Jokes (1994), which won a CableACE Award. Soon after, however, Rock found his popularity as an actor and comedian beginning to fade. In an effort to reignite his career, Rock went on the road in 1996, playing small clubs. There he honed his comedic repertoire, touching on subjects that were often considered taboo, such as race relations, drug addiction, and Black poverty, all the while revealing the humorous aspects of some of the more serious, painful truths of the Black experience. Bolstered by the positive reaction he received while touring, Rock once again appeared in an HBO special, Bring the Pain (1997), which won two Emmy Awards and brought Rock widespread fame and critical acclaim. Riding the crest of his newfound popularity, Rock went on to star in the television series The Chris Rock Show (1997–2000), write the best-selling book Rock This! (1997), costar in the film Lethal Weapon 4 (1998), and provide the voice for Rodney the guinea pig in another Murphy movie, Dr. Dolittle (1998).

James Lowry has devoted most of his professional life trying to bring corporations and minority communities closer together. While Lowry views many of the corporate diversity efforts in the 1960s and 1970s as charity, he says companies are finally starting to create business-driven initiatives supported with resources and leadership commitment. Lowry talks about how corporations and communities alike benefit from supplier diversity, leadership diversity, financial inclusion, racial equity, and minority business enterprises. He also looks back at that a career that spans volunteering in the Peace Corps, working with Bobby Kennedy in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a troubled Brooklyn neighborhood back in the 1960s, and roaming the corridors of corporate power.

Largely considered to be one of the most diverse places in the world, Queens is heralded by its residents for the multitudes of ethnicities, languages, cultures and ways of life that exist there. But diversity isn't the whole story, especially not in District 28. Mark and Max are back with Season 2 of School Colors. Season 1 was set in Central Brooklyn and focused on gentrification, Black self determination, and dug deep into the history of Bedford-Stuyvesant. Season 2 finds Mark and Max in Queens and School District 28, a district with a very distinct North side and South side- the further North you go, the fewer Black people there are. Once again, School Colors does a deep dive on the history in order to tell a story that will feel familiar to people from around the country.

In 1969, a group of young Black educators and students in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn founded a pan-African organization called The East. They wanted to take control of their community but knew the only way to do that was to create businesses and institutions founded by, run by, and made for them. The East became a mecca of Black pride and celebration. They created schools centered around African teachings, a food cooperative, a publishing house, music and dance programs, and a world-famous jazz club. Even though the organization no longer exists, many can still feel the spirit of The Eastin Central Brooklyn today. So, when Black-Owned Brooklyn founders, Tayo Giwa and Cynthia Gordy Giwa heard about The East through word of mouth at Brooklyn's Annual African Arts Festival, they knew it was a story that needed to be told to the masses.On this episode of Into America, Trymaine speaks with Tayo and Cynthia about their upcoming documentary, “The Sun Rises in The East”, which tells the story of this self-sufficient community. They talk about the film and the seeds planted by The East throughoutBrooklyn today. Trymaine also speaks with Fela Barclift, a former member of The East and co-founder of Afro-centric childhood center, Little Sun People. She talks about the power of the movement and what The East meant to her as an educator. For a transcript, please visit https://www.msnbc.com/intoamerica. Thoughts? Feedback? Story ideas?
