Learn about the history of Indianapolis Recorder's midnight Christmas benefit concerts at the Walker Theatre.  The concerts featured up to 60 acts and ran from midnight until 6 in the morning. Some of the greatest jazz, funk, and R&B musicians in Naptown performed at the midnight Christmas shows — including Wes Montgomery, Thurston Harris and Slide Hampton. But the entertainment wasn't limited to music alone — there were drag queens, burlesque dancers, fire-eaters, snake handlers, body builders and comedians. The concerts developed from the Indianapolis Recorder Cheer Fund. Established in 1929, the Cheer Fund was an annual holiday fundraiser that supported families in financial need. During the 1930s the Cheer Fund evolved into a benefit concert. These concerts attracted star performers, including the legendary tap dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson who performed at the Recorder's 1938 benefit show. The Recorder's midnight Christmas benefit concerts thrived until the 1980s. Listen to interviews with Indianapolis musicians and media personalities who performed at the Christmas benefit shows, including Henry Hinch, Josephine Cheatham, Rodney Stepp, Reggie Gammon, Debbie Nelson, Tyrone Caldwell, Richard Hamilton, Eunice Trotter, Geno Shelton and the late Joe Trotter.

The Epoch Times investigative reporter Kevin Stocklin discusses how efforts to remake America's electric grid, including Biden's green energy transition, has left China, an accused saboteur of our infrastructure, as an essential supplier of transformers and other critical hardware. A new Epoch Times article written by investigative reporter Kevin Stocklin reveals that, while it appears China's “cartels” are lending a hand on the power front, it could also leave America's electric grid vulnerable to foreign control and sabotage. “If they're able to knock the grid out, basically modern society is going to fall,” Joe Trotter, director of the Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force at the American Legislative Exchange Counsel, told The Epoch Times. “The modern grid runs our whole infrastructure and without power, we don't have refrigeration, our food supply goes down, our water supply goes down. If the power went out across the entire United States for a month, people would die. There'd be widespread looting. Two-to-three months and you might actually have a full societal collapse.” Despite the potential attacks we've already seen from countries like China, Russia and Iran, utilities continue to import essential hardware from China, with an estimated 10-15 percent of our electric transformers now being supplied by Chinese companies. In 2020, former President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 13920, which declared a state of emergency regarding America's power grid and barred new imports of Chinese hardware. Upon taking office, President Biden rescinded that order. In 2019, federal agents seized a transformer that arrived from China, on its way to being installed in a Colorado electric grid, and took it to a lab where it was disassembled for analysis. While the report remains classified, intelligence sources say they found that it contained microchips that intentionally allowed its functions to be hacked. Critics say that China, due to things like “backdoors” in microchips installed in grid hardware, will have the ability to shut down America's power grid at will. Kevin Stocklin joins us now to discuss his article further.

Joe Trotter, ALEC's Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force Director, sits down with Lars Dalseide to discuss the probable causes of the fires in Maui and how President Biden's decision to designate one of America's richest uranium deposits as a national monument severely restricts the country's ability to become energy independent. Special Guest: Joe Trotter.

This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, we'll share the final episode of our two part series celebrating the 50th anniversary of Amnesty's 700 West sessions by looking back at our 2019 interview with Amnesty's vocalist Joe Trotter, percussionist Rafael Barnes, and sax player Gino Johnson. Amnesty was a legendary Indianapolis funk band, known for their hard-hitting grooves and soaring vocal harmonies. The music Amnesty recorded at 700 West has been streamed millions of times online and sampled in hip-hop tracks by Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and Ye - the artist formerly known as Kanye West. On this week's episode we'll discuss Amnesty's legacy, and share rare unreleased demo recordings from the band.

During the 1970s, the Indianapolis music scene produced several important funk bands – including Amnesty, an eight-piece ensemble known for their hard-hitting grooves and soaring vocal harmonies.  In 1973, Amnesty traveled to New Palestine, Indiana – a small town east of Indianapolis. Their destination was 700 West, a modest recording studio located in the home of Moe Whittemore.  Amnesty recorded 10 tracks at 700 West. Two of those recordings were issued on Whittemore's 700 West label – but the full sessions remained unreleased for over 30 years. In 2007 the California-based label Now Again issued the complete Amnesty 700 West sessions. The album was titled “Free Your Mind” and it became an instant classic among funk and soul music fans.        The music Amnesty recorded at 700 West has been streamed millions of times online and sampled in hip-hop tracks by Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and Ye - the artist formerly known as Kanye West.  For the next two weeks on Echoes of Indiana Avenue we'll celebrate the 50th anniversary of Amnesty's 700 West sessions by looking back at a 2019 interview WFYI's Kyle Long recorded with Amnesty's vocalist Joe Trotter, percussionist Rafael Barnes, and sax player Gino Johnson.

With smoky skies littering the eastern seaboard, the quality of Canada's forest management policies have come into question.

Special Guest: Joe Trotter.

One aspect of inflation that we don't hear much about is how the rising cost of diesel contributes to higher costs of goods. The cost of regular gas is roughly where it was last year, at around 3 dollars a gallon, but the change in the price of diesel gas is much more notable- it's gone up a dollar or more since last year. There are certain policies in place causing this. To break it down, here's Joe Trotter, the energy task force director at the American Legislative Exchange Council. New reports coming from China say that the country's population has dropped for the first time since 1961. This poses major challenges to their economy. And since the U.S. economy is intertwined with China, this is also expected to have impacts on the U.S. Joining us to discuss America's economic relationship with China, we have Ryan Yonk, Senior Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research.

Please join us for a History Book Club virtual event from the University of Minnesota's Department of History, the Ramsey County Historical Society, the University of Minnesota's African American and African Studies Department and the Labor and Working History Association. This event features a discussion of "Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America" by Joe Trotter. Joe Trotter (PhD ‘80), Giant Eagle Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon University, will discuss his book with moderator William Jones, Professor of History at the University of Minnesota. About the book: Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America, University of California Press (January 2019) From the ongoing issues of poverty, health, housing and employment to the recent upsurge of lethal police-community relations, the black working class stands at the center of perceptions of social and racial conflict today. Journalists and public policy analysts often discuss the black poor as “consumers” rather than “producers,” as “takers” rather than “givers,” and as “liabilities” instead of “assets.” In his engrossing new history, Workers on Arrival, Joe William Trotter, Jr. refutes these perceptions by charting the black working class's vast contributions to the making of America. Covering the last four hundred years since Africans were first brought to Virginia in 1619, Trotter traces black workers' complicated journey from the transatlantic slave trade through the American Century to the demise of the industrial order in the 21st century. At the center of this compelling, fast-paced narrative are the actual experiences of these African American men and women. A dynamic and vital history of remarkable contributions despite repeated setbacks, Workers on Arrival expands our understanding of America's economic and industrial growth, its cities, ideas, and institutions, and the real challenges confronting black urban communities today. About the author: Joe William Trotter, Jr. is the Giant Eagle Professor of History and Social Justice and past History Department Chair at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is also the Director and Founder of Carnegie Mellon's Center for Africanamerican Urban Studies and the Economy, President Elect of the Urban History Association and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Professor Trotter received his BA degree from Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. He is currently working on a study of African American urban life since the Atlantic slave trade. About the moderator William P. Jones is a professor of history at the University of Minnesota and president of the Labor and Working Class History Association. He currently serves as the director of graduate studies for the History Department.
