I'm on the brink of turning 32 and I have to tell you that has given me a social media mid-life crisis. I'm not interested in the dead end awareness social media brings us. I understand that having Latinx History month is important but I think that I'm coming to a point where I want more from Latinx History month. Maybe I am extreme but maybe giving asylum to Latinos for the month or literally anything that has genuine impact on our community verse a picture of JLO. Idk I'm going a little stir crazy with the limitations social media bring to actual awareness.    And thanks to On The Rise Media  for this production: https://www.instagram.com/_ontherisem...​ Follow me on  Instagram | Twitter | Youtube Follow Fernanda on Instagram | Twitter | Website

“No self-respecting government is going to teach you a history that's going to allow you to have the tools to change the system.”  Paul Ortiz, historian and author of the book “An African-American and Latinx History of the United States” joins the show to discuss with Mike and Jack about the plethora of historical contributions Brown and Black people have made in America. He also touches upon our own self-hatred and why it still affects us, why the educational system doesn't favor Black and Latinos, and why Hollywood is a bastion for white propaganda and how Broadway's Hamilton is the last thing you should revere as fact.

Actor, activist, author and educator John Leguizamo loves that his comedy makes people feel angry. In his 2018 one-man Broadway show, Latin History for Morons, the 55-year-old star splices jokes with history about the genocide of Native American people, his experience being racially profiled in the United States, and a welter of statistics about the underrepresentation of Latinx people in American media. Born in Colombia and raised in Queens, New York, Leguizamo grew up seeing negative portrayals of Latinx people in Hollywood and in the pages of the New York Times. This feeling of being an outsider, of not belonging, was a power that he eventually came to value—and harness as fuel for his comedy and acting career. In January, Leguizamo sat down with Mother Jones's DC Bureau Chief David Corn onstage at the Comedy Cellar, the historic New York City stand-up venue, to talk about his work, ego, process, and his favorite subject⁠: Latinx history. Corn's interview with Leguizamo is one in a series of several notable guests featured over the next three episodes. It's a special summer interview series with a very “2020” origin story: Earlier this year, the coronavirus pandemic stalled work on a new podcast, co-produced by Mother Jones and the Comedy Cellar, but not before three fascinating guests joined Corn for in-depth interviews about art, politics, comedy, and the philosophies that infuse their work. These chats were too good to simply shelve; in the coming week's you'll also hear from music icon Debbie Harry, and talkshow host Samantha Bee.

Being a woman in corporate spaces isn’t great and research shows that women from marginalized identity groups have exponentially worse experiences - no matter the region, industry, or function.  It's important those in the dominant group take the time to listen to our experiences, accept that they’re real, and fix it. It won’t happen overnight, but we have to stop trying to fix the people and fix broken cultures, processes, and institutions that uphold the “isms”.On this episode, our guest, Victoria Walters, M.A. shares her experiences and hacks she's leveraged to navigate. She even drops some ways "majoritized" folks can help, along with some light reading noted below. Layla F.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Glen Ford, along with my co-host Nellie Bailey. Coming up: Donald Trump has made the United States a nightmare destination for poor, non white immigrants, but a Black Canadian activist says her country is no safe haven; Philadelphia celebrates Muhatma Gandhi along with Martin Luther King; and, the leader of a small Caribbean country blasts the United States for its regime change campaign against Venezuela. One could get the impression, from listening to today’s Black politicians, that African Americans don’t know or care much about what goes on in the rest of the world. We spoke with Professor Paul Ortiz, a professor of history at the University of Florida, and author of the new book, “An African American  and Latinx History of the United States.” Ortiz says the struggle for Black liberation in the U.S. has always been international.  Immigration to the United States is way down, this year, as President Trump succeeds in making Coming to America a nightmare experience. Canada takes in even more immigrants, proportionately, than the United States.  Black Canadian activist and writer Robyn Maynard is author of the book, “Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present.”  She warns that her country is no safe haven for Black newcomers. All this year, the Philadelphia Saturday Free School has been publicizing the life and philosophy of Muhatma Gandhi, the Indian national liberation leader. On Thursday, October 3rd, the Free School will hold a special program titled, “Mahatma Gandhi and Our Single Garment of Destiny: Our Inescapable Struggle for Peace and Justice.” Philadelphia Free School activist Jahan Choudry says any study of Gandhi must include Dr. Martin Luther King.  Heads of state from all over the planet journeyed to New York City last week to attend the yearly opening session of the United Nations General Assembly. Among them was Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of the tiny Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Prime Minister Gonsalves criticized the Global North for polluting and warming planet, denounced the US economic blockade of Venezuela, and celebrated new movement towards unity within the African diaspora.

Monisha Rios is my guest this week.  Monisha is a veteran and a peace activist and part of the Puerto Rican diaspora.  We talked about the peace movement and the intersection with other movements for liberation, the various forms of colonialism and how people can learn about our own history as a colonial power. During the broadcast, a number of references were made to other media that can inform people in the US about our own history and how it still impacts those who were its victims and still impacts people throughout the world through the American Empire.  Here are links: Abby Martin’s video for Telesur’s Empire Files:  Israelis Speak Candidly about Palestinians Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World by David Vine A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz A Disability History of the United States by Kim E.

Resources: Paul Ortiz, An African American and Latinx History of the United States Beacon Press, 2018 The post Struggles Across Borders appeared first on KPFA.

Throughout many American classrooms, students learn how the United States was formed, and most importantly, the historical figures who helped produce the contemporary nation we occupy. All too often, however, African American, Latinx, and Native Americans are not given similar attention. Rather, they are depicted as passive receivers of what those of European-descent pushed upon them. In An African American and Latinx History of the United States (Beacon Press, 2017), Paul Ortiz attempts to bring more balance to this picture. By employing a bottom-up approach, Ortiz shows how central black and brown solidarities were to the political history of the United States. Ortiz’s is a narrative history spanning two hundred-plus years of African Americans, Latinx, and Native Americans expanding what freedom and justice in the United States meant by challenging American exceptionalism, imperialism, and colonialism as much as possible.

Nnekay and James are back giggling in the korners. Trying to figure out how to set the record straight? No. Setting the record right? No. Setting the record on the appropriate course. Yes. They are here to discuss as what Marvin Gaye and James say, "What is going on?" They discuss horrible incident that happened in Las Vegas, what we can do about it, and how this keeps happening to America by Americans. The semantics of the media... who is called a lone wolf, a thug, a terrorist? In Nnekay's Korner, she is talking about two stories about two good things moving in the right direction, Harvard students protesting Betsy DeVos, and how Black Lives Matters cannot be sued. To round out her korner, Nnekay talks about way that we can take care of ourselves when the world looks bleak. James taking a trip to Latin America for Latinx History month, which is from September 15th- October 15th. In his korner he is taking a page from Anderson Cooper's book and doing and expose on what is going on in Venezuela. How Nicolas Maduro, the president of Venezuela is changing the country since Hugo Chavez, and has just been declared (by the US) a dictatorship. How are the people of Venezuela are rebelling and creating their own narrative. This is your last change to enter our 100 Minority Korner review sweepstakes! We're taking a little bit of a break (two weeks) and will be back with our 100th episode!!!!
