Podcasts about Malcolm X

In an overloaded, superficial, technological world, in which almost everything and everybody is judged by its usefulness, where can we turn for escape, lasting pleasure, contemplation, or connection to others? While many forms of leisure meet these needs, Zena Hitz writes, few experiences are so fulfilling as the inner life, whether that of a bookworm, an amateur astronomer, a birdwatcher, or someone who takes a deep interest in one of countless other subjects. Drawing on inspiring examples, from Socrates and Augustine to Malcolm X and Elena Ferrante, and from films to Dr. Hitz's own experiences as someone who walked away from elite university life in search of greater fulfillment, Lost in Thought is a passionate and timely reminder that a rich life is a life rich in thought.Today, when even the humanities are often defended only for their economic or political usefulness, Dr. Hitz says our intellectual lives are valuable not despite but because of their practical uselessness. And while anyone can have an intellectual life, she encourages academics in particular to get back in touch with the desire to learn for its own sake, and calls on universities to return to the person-to-person transmission of the habits of mind and heart that bring out the best in us. Reminding us of who we once were and who we might become, Lost in Thought is a moving account of why renewing our inner lives is fundamental to preserving our humanity. Our guest is: Dr. Zena Hitz, who is a Tutor in the great books program at St. John's College. She has a PhD in ancient philosophy from Princeton University and studies and teaches across the liberal arts. She is the founder of the Catherine Project, and the author of Lost in Thought.

What do Malcolm X, Barack Obama and Janet Jackson all have in common?Listen long enough to this fantastic conversation with Kaela Brown, an assistant finishing colorist at Marvel Studios and you'll find out.Kaela's extensive experience in post-production includes a ton of popular projects like Euphoria, Loki, The Morning Show, Eyes of Wakanda, Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again, Agatha All Along, X-Men '97 and Dish Nation.Going from a journalism major to working in marketing on shows for luminaries like Katie Couric, Ellen DeGeneres and Queen Latifah, Kaela's first major opportunity came from the very place that had initially ejected her.Her unique perspective and experience as a Black woman working in an arena where she infuses color science into some of Hollywood's biggest productions is awe-inspiring and she has quite the advice for others seeking to do the same.If you've ever wondered how the coloring of a project informs the emotional aspect of the story, what the workflow of a colorist can look like and why you shouldn't second-guess your dreams, this is the conversation for you. 

A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists.   In this two-part series of Oakland Asian Cultural Center's “Let's Talk” podcast Eastside Arts Alliance is featured. Elena Serrano and Susanne Takehara, two of the founders of Eastside Arts Alliance, and staff member Aubrey Pandori will discuss the history that led to the formation of Eastside and their deep work around multi-racial solidarity.   Transcript: Let's Talk podcast episode 9  [00:00:00] Emma: My name is Emma Grover, and I am the program and communications coordinator at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, known also as OACC. Today we are sharing the ninth episode of our Let's Talk Audio Series. Let's Talk is part of OACC'S Open Ears for Change Initiative, which was established in 2020. With this series, our goals are to address anti-Blackness in the APIA communities, discuss the effects of colorism and racism in a safe space, and highlight Black and Asian solidarity and community efforts specifically in the Oakland Chinatown area. Today's episode is a round table discussion with Elena Serrano, Susanne Takahara, and Aubrey Pandori of Eastside Arts Alliance.  [00:00:53] Aubrey: Hello everybody. This is Aubrey from Eastside Arts Alliance, and I am back here for the second part of our Let's Talk with Suzanne and Elena. We're gonna be talking about what else Eastside is doing right now in the community. The importance of art in activism, and the importance of Black and Asian solidarity in Oakland and beyond.  So I am the community archivist here at Eastside Arts Alliances. I run CARP, which stands for Community Archival Resource Project. It is a project brought on by one of our co-founders, Greg Morozumi. And it is primarily a large chunk of his own collection from over the years, but it is a Third World archive with many artifacts, journals, pens, newspapers from social movements in the Bay Area and beyond, international social movements from the 1960s forward. We do a few different programs through CARP. I sometimes have archival exhibitions. We do public engagement through panels, community archiving days. We collaborate with other community archives like the Bay Area Lesbian Archives and Freedom Archives here in Oakland and the Bay Area. And we are also working on opening up our Greg Morozumi Reading Room in May. So that is an opportunity for people to come in and relax, read books, host reading groups, or discussions with their community. We're also gonna be opening a lending system so people are able to check out books to take home and read. There'll be library cards coming soon for that and other fun things to come.  [00:02:44] So Suzanne, what are you working on at Eastside right now? [00:02:48] Susanne: Well, for the past like eight or nine years I've been working with Jose Ome Navarrete and Debbie Kajiyama of NAKA Dance Theater to produce Live Arts and Resistance (LAIR), which is a Dance Theater Performance series. We've included many artists who, some of them started out here at Eastside and then grew to international fame, such as Dohee Lee, and then Amara Tabor-Smith has graced our stages for several years with House Full of Black Women. This year we're working with Joti Singh on Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink, a piece she choreographed, and shot in film and it's a multimedia kind of experience. We've worked with Cat Brooks and many emerging other artists who are emerging or from all over, mostly Oakland, but beyond. It's a place where people can just experiment and not worry about a lot of the regulations that bigger theaters have. Using the outside, the inside, the walls, the ceiling sometimes. It's been an exciting experience to work with so many different artists in our space.  [00:04:03] Elena: And I have been trying to just get the word out to as many different folks who can help sustain the organization as possible about the importance of the work we do here. So my main job with Eastside has been raising money. But what we're doing now is looking at cultural centers like Eastside, like Oakland Asian Cultural Center, like the Malonga Casquelord Center, like Black Cultural Zone, like the Fruitvale Plaza and CURJ's work. These really integral cultural hubs. In neighborhoods and how important those spaces are.  [00:04:42] So looking at, you know, what we bring to the table with the archives, which serve the artistic community, the organizing community. There's a big emphasis, and we had mentioned some of this in the first episode around knowing the history and context of how we got here so we can kind of maneuver our way out. And that's where books and movies and posters and artists who have been doing this work for so long before us come into play in the archives and then having it all manifest on the stage through programs like LAIR, where theater artists and dancers and musicians, and it's totally multimedia, and there's so much information like how to keep those types of places going is really critical.  [00:05:28] And especially now when public dollars have mostly been cut, like the City of Oakland hardly gave money to the arts anyway, and they tried to eliminate the entire thing. Then they're coming back with tiny bits of money. But we're trying to take the approach like, please, let's look at where our tax dollars go. What's important in a neighborhood? What has to stay and how can we all work together to make that happen?  [00:05:52] Susanne: And I want to say that our Cultural Center theater is a space that is rented out very affordably to not just artists, but also many organizations that are doing Movement work, such as Palestinian Youth Movement, Bala, Mujeres Unidas Y Activas, QT at Cafe Duo Refugees, United Haiti Action Committee, Freedom Archives, Oakland Sin Fronteras, Center for CPE, and many artists connected groups.  [00:06:22] Aubrey: Yeah, I mean, we do so much more than what's in the theater and Archive too, we do a lot of different youth programs such as Girl Project, Neighborhood Arts, where we do public murals. One of our collective members, Angie and Leslie, worked on Paint the Town this past year. We also have our gallery in between the Cultural Center and Bandung Books, our bookstore, which houses our archive. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary exhibition.  [00:06:54] Susanne: And one of the other exhibits we just wrapped up was Style Messengers, an exhibit of graffiti work from Dime, Spy and Surge, Bay Area artists and Surge is from New York City, kind of illustrating the history of graffiti and social commentary.  [00:07:30] Elena: We are in this studio here recording and this is the studio of our youth music program Beats Flows, and I love we're sitting here with this portrait of Amiri Baraka, who had a lot to say to us all the time. So it's so appropriate that when the young people are in the studio, they have this elder, magician, poet activist looking at him, and then when you look out the window, you see Sister Souljah, Public Enemy, and then a poster we did during, when Black Lives Matter came out, we produced these posters that said Black Power Matters, and we sent them all over the country to different sister cultural centers and I see them pop up somewhere sometimes and people's zooms when they're home all over the country. It's really amazing and it just really shows when you have a bunch of artists and poets and radical imagination, people sitting around, you know, what kind of things come out of it. [00:08:31] Aubrey: I had one of those Black Power Matters posters in my kitchen window when I lived in Chinatown before I worked here, or visited here actually. I don't even know how I acquired it, but it just ended up in my house somehow.  [00:08:45] Elena: That's perfect. I remember when we did, I mean we still do, Malcolm X Jazz Festival and it was a young Chicana student who put the Jazz Festival poster up and she was like, her parents were like, why is Malcolm X? What has that got to do with anything? And she was able to just tell the whole story about Malcolm believing that people, communities of color coming together  is a good thing. It's a powerful thing. And it was amazing how the festival and the youth and the posters can start those kind of conversations.  [00:09:15] Aubrey: Malcolm X has his famous quote that says “Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle.” And Elena, we think a lot about Malcolm X and his message here at Eastside about culture, but also about the importance of art. Can we speak more about the importance of art in our activism?  [00:09:35] Elena: Well, that was some of the things we were touching on around radical imagination and the power of the arts. But where I am going again, is around this power of the art spaces, like the power of spaces like this, and to be sure that it's not just a community center, it's a cultural center, which means we invested in sound good, sound good lighting, sprung floors. You know, just like the dignity and respect that the artists and our audiences have, and that those things are expensive but critical. So I feel like that's, it's like to advocate for this type of space where, again, all those groups that we listed off that have come in here and there's countless more. They needed a space to reach constituencies, you know, and how important that is. It's like back in the civil rights organizing the Black church was that kind of space, very important space where those kind of things came together. People still go to church and there's still churches, but there's a space for cultural centers and to have that type of space where artists and activists can come together and be more powerful together.  [00:10:50] Aubrey: I think art is a really powerful way of reaching people. [00:10:54] Elena: You know, we're looking at this just because I, being in the development end, we put together a proposal for the Environmental Protection Agency before Donald (Trump) took it over. We were writing about how important popular education is, so working with an environmental justice organization who has tons of data about how impacted communities like East Oakland and West Oakland are suffering from all of this, lots of science. But what can we, as an arts group, how can we produce a popular education around those things? And you know, how can we say some of those same messages in murals and zines, in short films, in theater productions, you know, but kind of embracing that concept of popular education. So we're, you know, trying to counter some of the disinformation that's being put out there too with some real facts, but in a way that, you know, folks can grasp onto and, and get.  [00:11:53] Aubrey: We recently had a LAIR production called Sky Watchers, and it was a beautiful musical opera from people living in the Tenderloin, and it was very personal. You were able to hear about people's experiences with poverty, homelessness, and addiction in a way that was very powerful. How they were able to express what they were going through and what they've lost, what they've won, everything that has happened in their lives in a very moving way. So I think art, it's, it's also a way for people to tell their stories and we need to be hearing those stories. We don't need to be hearing, I think what a lot of Hollywood is kind of throwing out, which is very white, Eurocentric beauty standards and a lot of other things that doesn't reflect our neighborhood and doesn't reflect our community. So yeah, art is a good way for us to not only tell our stories, but to get the word out there, what we want to see changed.  So our last point that we wanna talk about today is the importance of Black and Asian solidarity in Oakland. How has that been a history in Eastside, Suzanne?  [00:13:09] Susanne: I feel like Eastside is all about Third World solidarity from the very beginning. And Yuri Kochiyama is one of our mentors through Greg Morozumi and she was all about that. So I feel like everything we do brings together Black, Asian and brown folks. [00:13:27] Aubrey: Black and Asian solidarity is especially important here at Eastside Arts Alliance. It is a part of our history. We have our bookstore called Bandung Books for a very specific reason, to give some history there. So the Bandung Conference happened in 1955 in Indonesia, and it was the first large-scale meeting of Asian and African countries. Most of which were newly independent from colonialism. They aimed to promote Afro-Asian cooperation and rejection of colonialism and imperialism in all nations. And it really set the stage for revolutionary solidarity between colonized and oppressed people, letting way for many Third Worlds movements internationally and within the United States.  [00:14:14] Eastside had an exhibition called Bandung to the Bay: Black and Asian Solidarity at Oakland Asian Cultural Center the past two years in 2022 and 2023 for their Lunar New Year and Black History Month celebrations. It highlighted the significance of that conference and also brought to light what was happening in the United States from the 1960s to present time that were creating and building solidarity between Black and Asian communities. The exhibition highlighted a number of pins, posters, and newspapers from the Black Liberation Movement and Asian American movement, as well as the broader Third World movement. The Black Panthers were important points of inspiration in Oakland, in the Bay Area in getting Asian and Pacific Islanders in the diaspora, and in their homelands organized.  [00:15:07] We had the adoption of the Black Panthers 10-point program to help shape revolutionary demands and principles for people's own communities like the Red Guard in San Francisco's Chinatown, IWK in New York's Chinatown and even the Polynesian Panthers in New Zealand. There were so many different organizations that came out of the Black Panther party right here in Oakland. And we honor that by having so many different 10-point programs up in our theater too. We have the Brown Berets, Red Guard Party, Black Panthers, of course, the American Indian Movement as well. So we're always thinking about that kind of organizing and movement building that has been tied here for many decades now.  [00:15:53] Elena: I heard that the term Third World came from the Bandung conference. [00:15:58] Aubrey: Yes, I believe that's true.  [00:16:01] Elena: I wanted to say particularly right now, the need for specifically Black Asian solidarity is just, there's so much misinformation around China coming up now, especially as China takes on a role of a superpower in the world. And it's really up to us to provide some background, some other information, some truth telling, so folks don't become susceptible to that kind of misinformation. And whatever happens when it comes from up high and we hate China, it reflects in Chinatown. And that's the kind of stereotyping that because we have been committed to Third World solidarity and truth telling for so long, that that's where we can step in and really, you know, make a difference, we hope. I think the main point is that we need to really listen to each other, know what folks are going through, know that we have more in common than we have separating us, especially in impacted Black, brown, Asian communities in Oakland. We have a lot to do.  [00:17:07] Aubrey: To keep in contact with Eastside Arts Alliance, you can find us at our website: eastside arts alliance.org, and our Instagrams at Eastside Cultural and at Bandung Books to stay connected with our bookstore and CArP, our archive, please come down to Eastside Arts Alliance and check out our many events coming up in the new year. We are always looking for donations and volunteers and just to meet new friends and family.  [00:17:36] Susanne: And with that, we're gonna go out with Jon Jang's “The Pledge of Black Asian Alliance,” produced in 2018.  [00:18:29] Emma: This was a round table discussion at the Eastside Arts Alliance Cultural Center with staff and guests: Elena, Suzanne and Aubrey.  Let's Talk Audio series is one of OACC'S Open Ears for Change projects and as part of the Stop the Hate Initiative with funds provided by the California Department of Social Services in consultation with the commission of Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs to administer $110 million allocated over three years to community organizations. These organizations provide direct services to victims of hate and their families and offer prevention and intervention services to tackle hate in our communities. This episode is a production of the Oakland Asian Cultural Center with engineering, editing, and sound design by Thick Skin Media.  [00:19:18] A special thanks to Jon Jang for permission to use his original music. And thank you for listening.  [00:19:32] Music: Life is not what you alone make it. Life is the input of everyone who touched your life and every experience that entered it. We are all part of one another. Don't become too narrow, live fully, meet all kinds of people. You'll learn something from everyone. Follow what you feel in your heart. OACC Podcast [00:00:00] Emma: My name is Emma Grover, and I am the program and communications coordinator at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, known also as OACC. Today we are sharing the eighth episode of our Let's Talk audio series. Let's talk as part of OACC's Open Ears for Change Initiative, which was established in 2020. With this series, our goals are to address anti-blackness in the APIA communities, discuss the effects of colorism and racism in a safe space, and highlight black and Asian solidarity and community efforts specifically in the Oakland Chinatown area.   [00:00:43] Today's guests are Elena Serrano and Suzanne Takahara, co-founders of Eastside Arts Alliance. Welcome Elena and Suzanne, thank you so much for joining today's episode. And so just to kick things off, wanna hear about how was Eastside Arts Alliance started?   [00:01:01] Susanne: Well, it was really Greg Morozumi who had a longstanding vision of creating a cultural center in East Oakland, raised in Oakland, an organizer in the Bay Area, LA, and then in New York City where he met Yuri Kochiyama, who became a lifelong mentor.   [00:01:17] Greg was planning with one of Yuri's daughters, Ichi Kochiyama to move her family to Oakland and help him open a cultural center here. I met Greg in the early nineties and got to know him during the January, 1993 “No Justice, No Peace” show at Pro Arts in Oakland. The first Bay Graffiti exhibition in the gallery. Greg organized what became a massive anti-police brutality graffiti installation created by the TDDK crew. Graffiti images and messages covered the walls and ceiling complete with police barricades. It was a response to the Rodney King protests. The power of street art busted indoors and blew apart the gallery with political messaging. After that, Greg recruited Mike Dream, Spy, and other TDK writers to help teach the free art classes for youth that Taller Sin Fronteras was running at the time.   [00:02:11] There were four artist groups that came together to start Eastside. Taller Sin Fronteras was an ad hoc group of printmakers and visual artists activists based in the East Bay. Their roots came out of the free community printmaking, actually poster making workshops that artists like Malaquias Montoya and David Bradford organized in Oakland in the early 70s and 80s.   [00:02:34] The Black Dot Collective of poets, writers, musicians, and visual artists started a popup version of the Black Dot Cafe. Marcel Diallo and Leticia Utafalo were instrumental and leaders of this project. 10 12 were young digital artists and activists led by Favianna Rodriguez and Jesus Barraza in Oakland. TDK is an Oakland based graffiti crew that includes Dream, Spie, Krash, Mute, Done Amend, Pak and many others evolving over time and still holding it down.   [00:03:07] Elena: That is a good history there. And I just wanted to say that me coming in and meeting Greg and knowing all those groups and coming into this particular neighborhood, the San Antonio district of Oakland, the third world aspect of who we all were and what communities we were all representing and being in this geographic location where those communities were all residing. So this neighborhood, San Antonio and East Oakland is very third world, Black, Asian, Latinx, indigenous, and it's one of those neighborhoods, like many neighborhoods of color that has been disinvested in for years. But rich, super rich in culture.   [00:03:50] So the idea of a cultural center was…let's draw on where our strengths are and all of those groups, TDKT, Taller Sin Fronters, Black artists, 10 – 12, these were all artists who were also very engaged in what was going on in the neighborhoods. So artists, organizers, activists, and how to use the arts as a way to lift up those stories tell them in different ways. Find some inspiration, ways to get out, ways to build solidarity between the groups, looking at our common struggles, our common victories, and building that strength in numbers.   [00:04:27] Emma: Thank you so much for sharing. Elena and Suzanne, what a rich and beautiful history for Eastside Arts Alliance.   [00:04:34] Were there any specific political and or artistic movements happening at that time that were integral to Eastside's start?   [00:04:41] Elena: You know, one of the movements that we took inspiration from, and this was not happening when Eastside got started, but for real was the Black Panther Party. So much so that the Panthers 10-point program was something that Greg xeroxed and made posters and put 'em up on the wall, showing how the 10-point program for the Panthers influenced that of the Young Lords and the Brown Berets and I Wor Kuen (IWK).   [00:05:07] So once again, it was that Third world solidarity. Looking at these different groups that were working towards similar things, it still hangs these four posters still hang in our cultural, in our theater space to show that we were all working on those same things. So even though we came in at the tail end of those movements, when we started Eastside, it was very much our inspiration and what we strove to still address; all of those points are still relevant right now.   [00:05:36] Susanne: So that was a time of Fight The Power, Kaos One and Public Enemy setting. The tone for public art murals, graphics, posters. So that was kind of the context for which art was being made and protests happened.   [00:05:54] Elena: There was a lot that needed to be done and still needs to be done. You know what? What the other thing we were coming on the tail end of and still having massive repercussions was crack. And crack came into East Oakland really hard, devastated generations, communities, everything, you know, so the arts were a way for some folks to still feel power and feel strong and feel like they have agency in the world, especially hip hop and, spray can, and being out there and having a voice and having a say, it was really important, especially in neighborhoods where things had just been so messed up for so long.   [00:06:31] Emma: I would love to know also what were the community needs Eastside was created to address, you know, in this environment where there's so many community needs, what was Eastside really honing in on at this time?   [00:06:41] Elena: It's interesting telling our story because we end up having to tell so many other stories before us, so things like the, Black Arts movement and the Chicano Arts Movement. Examples of artists like Amiri Baraka, Malaguias Montoya, Sonya Sanchez. Artists who had committed themselves to the struggles of their people and linking those two works. So we always wanted to have that. So the young people that we would have come into the studio and wanna be rappers, you know, it's like, what is your responsibility?   [00:07:15] You have a microphone, you amplify. What are some of the things you're saying? So it was on us. To provide that education and that backstory and where they came from and the footsteps we felt like they were in and that they needed to keep moving it forward. So a big part of the cultural center in the space are the archives and all of that information and history and context.   [00:07:37] Susanne: And we started the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival for that same reason coming out of the Bandung Conference. And then the Tri Continental, all of this is solidarity between people's movements.   [00:07:51] Emma: You've already talked about this a little bit, the role of the arts in Eastside's foundation and the work that you're doing, and I'd love to hear also maybe how the role of the arts continues to be important in the work that you're doing today as a cultural center.   [00:08:04] And so my next question to pose to you both is what is the role of the arts at Eastside?   [00:08:10] Elena: So a couple different things. One, I feel like, and I said a little bit of this before, but the arts can transmit messages so much more powerfully than other mediums. So if you see something acted out in a theater production or a song or a painting, you get that information transmitted in a different way.   [00:08:30] Then also this idea of the artists being able to tap into imagination and produce images and visions and dreams of the future. This kind of imagination I just recently read or heard because folks aren't reading anymore or hardly reading that they're losing their imagination. What happens when you cannot even imagine a way out of things?   [00:08:54] And then lastly, I just wanted to quote something that Favianna Rodriguez, one of our founders always says “cultural shift precedes political shift.” So if you're trying to shift things politically on any kind of policy, you know how much money goes to support the police or any of these issues. It's the cultural shift that needs to happen first. And that's where the cultural workers, the artists come in.   [00:09:22] Susanne: And another role of Eastside in supporting the arts to do just that is honoring the artists, providing a space where they can have affordable rehearsal space or space to create, or a place to come safely and just discuss things that's what we hope and have created for the Eastside Cultural Center and now the bookstore and the gallery. A place for them to see themselves and it's all um, LGBTA, BIPOC artists that we serve and honor in our cultural center. To that end, we, in the last, I don't know, 8, 9 years, we've worked with Jose Navarrete and Debbie Kajiyama of Naka Dance Theater to produce live arts and resistance, which gives a stage to emerging and experienced performance artists, mostly dancers, but also poets, writers, theater and actors and musicians.   [00:10:17] Emma: The last question I have for you both today is what is happening in the world that continues to call us to action as artists?   [00:10:27] Elena: Everything, everything is happening, you know, and I know things have always been happening, but it seems really particularly crazy right now on global issues to domestic issues. For a long time, Eastside was um, really focusing in on police stuff and immigration stuff because it was a way to bring Black and brown communities together because they were the same kind of police state force, different ways.   [00:10:54] Now we have it so many different ways, you know, and strategies need to be developed. Radical imagination needs to be deployed. Everyone needs to be on hand. A big part of our success and our strength is organizations that are not artistic organizations but are organizing around particular issues globally, locally come into our space and the artists get that information. The community gets that information. It's shared information, and it gives us all a way, hopefully, to navigate our way out of it.   [00:11:29] Susanne: The Cultural Center provides a venue for political education for our communities and our artists on Palestine, Haiti, Sudan, immigrant rights, prison abolition, police abolition, sex trafficking, and houselessness among other things.   [00:11:46] Elena: I wanted to say too, a big part of what's going on is this idea of public disinvestment. So housing, no such thing as public housing, hardly anymore. Healthcare, education, we're trying to say access to cultural centers. We're calling that the cultural infrastructure of neighborhoods. All of that must be continued to be supported and we can't have everything be privatized and run by corporations. So that idea of these are essential things in a neighborhood, schools, libraries, cultural spaces, and you know, and to make sure cultural spaces gets on those lists.   [00:12:26] Emma: I hear you. And you know, I think every category you brought up, actually just now I can think of one headline or one piece of news recently that is really showing how critically these are being challenged, these basic rights and needs of the community. And so thank you again for the work that you're doing and keeping people informed as well. I think sometimes with all the news, both globally and, and in our more local communities in the Bay Area or in Oakland. It can be so hard to know what actions to take, what tools are available. But again, that's the importance of having space for this type of education, for this type of activism. And so I am so grateful that Eastside exists and is continuing to serve our community in this way.   What is Eastside Arts Alliance up to today? Are there any ways we can support your collective, your organization, what's coming up?   [00:13:18] Elena: Well, this is our 25th anniversary. So the thing that got us really started by demonstrating to the community what a cultural center was, was the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival, and that this year will be our 25th anniversary festival happening on May 17th.   [00:13:34] It's always free. It's in San Antonio Park. It's an amazing day of organizing and art and music, multi-generational. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful day. Folks can find out. We have stuff going on every week.

In popular culture and UFO conspiracy theories, Men In Black are government agents dressed in dark suits, who question, interrogate, harass, and threaten unidentified flying object witnesses to keep them silent about what they have seen. The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as various branches of government allegedly tasked with protecting government UFO secrets or performing other strange activities. They are typically described as tall men with expressionless faces, slightly pale skin, and usually wearing black suits with black sunglasses.  Hop inside the spaceship with Joel as he pulls the black shades off the mysterious group called the Men In Black. He follows their trail all the way back to the orders of the Great White Lodge and the Black Lodge as he discovers their occult origins. He then looks at the connection between vampires of the past and modern Men In Black and how they are eerily similar in their approaches. Finally, Joel unravels early reports like the Maury Island Incident and the mysterious man in black who met with Malcom X in his prison cell to understand more of what they are about.

This is the afternoon All Local update for August 10, 2025.

De Stokely Carmichael, figure des luttes noires du XXème siècle, on connaît surtout le combat aux États-Unis, comme dirigeant des Black Panther. On sait moins qu'en 1968, Carmichael a rejoint la Guinée avec son épouse, la chanteuse sud-africaine Miriam Makeba. Il est alors devenu un proche collaborateur du président ghanéen en exil Kwame Nkrumah et s'est engagé aux côtés de la révolution guinéenne. Bokar Ture, fils de Stokely Carmichael, a accordé un entretien à RFI : il raconte les années africaines de la vie de son père. RFI : Votre père a été un acteur important des luttes noires du XXème siècle. Aux États-Unis, où il a été l'un des responsables des Black Panther… mais aussi dans son parcours transatlantique puisqu'il vient s'installer en 1968 en Guinée. Parlez-nous d'abord de lui. D'où vient-il ? Comment est née cette conscience militante noire ?  Bokar Ture : Kwame Ture est né Stokely Carmichael à Trinidad et Tobago, connu aussi en français comme Trinité-et-Tobago, en 1941. Il immigre plus tard aux États-Unis pour retrouver sa mère -donc ma grand-mère- qui y était déjà installée quelques années plus tôt. Elle avait pu avoir sa nationalité américaine parce qu'elle était née à Panama. Comment a commencé cette conscience ? Déjà, il avait un penchant politique très tôt. Il y a une de ses tantes qui racontait une anecdote : quand il était jeune, il la poussait à aller voter pour un syndicaliste à l'île de Trinidad. Et au lycée, aux États-Unis, il fréquentait déjà des groupes gauchistes. Un de ses amis de classe était le fils du président du Parti communiste américain dans les années 1952. Et donc, très tôt, il a pu découvrir les discours marxistes. Et bien sûr, il vivait au sud du Bronx, à côté de Harlem. Et la 125e rue de Harlem est une rue reconnue pour des discours politiques de tout genre, de différents groupes.  Il a été l'un de ceux qui ont travaillé l'idée de Black Power. Il a même coécrit, en 1967 avec Charles Hamilton, un ouvrage qui le théorise, intitulé Black Power, the politics of Liberation in America.  Effectivement, le concept de Black Power existait avant. Il y avait un livre qui s'appelait Black Power par Richard Wright, qui a été écrit pendant les années 1950 et qui était un ouvrage dédié à Kwame Nkrumah. Mais personne n'a rendu l'idée de Black Power aussi populaire que Kwame Ture - Stokely Carmichael à l'époque. Notamment durant une marche contre la peur au sud des États-Unis, aux côtés de Martin Luther King, où il disait, plus ou moins : « On est fatigué de mendier notre liberté, comme on l'a fait ces dernières années dans les droits civiques. Maintenant, ce qu'on va faire, c'est de demander le Black Power », le pouvoir noir, qui était un appel à une autodétermination en termes de structures politiques et économiques pour les personnes noires descendantes d'africains aux États-Unis.  En 1968, votre père épouse une première femme, la chanteuse sud-africaine Miriam Makeba. Au-delà de la relation amoureuse qui s'est nouée entre eux, cette union reflète-t-elle aussi une pensée de votre père, de plus en plus tournée vers l'Afrique et vers le panafricanisme à cette époque ?  Ce n'est pas un tournant, c'est une continuité. Kwame Ture a toujours été Africain dans l'âme. Il vient d'un milieu où l'Afrique est centrale dans l'identité noire. Bien avant qu'il ne se marie avec Miriam Makeba. On le voit dans des photos au début des années 1960 avec ses camarades où il est en tenue africaine. Il se sentait toujours africain. Pour lui, être noir et africain, il ne voyait pas de distinction et toute sa vie était ainsi. Quand il a marié Tantie Miriam, comme je l'appelle, c'était juste une continuité. Après aussi, ma mère, Marlyatou Barry, qui était aussi une Guinéenne. C'était juste une continuité de sa façon de vivre.  Comment se fait concrètement la connexion entre votre père et le premier responsable guinéen, Ahmed Sékou Touré ? Stokely Carmichael, à l'époque, faisait une tournée mondiale et il a rencontré Shirley Graham Du Bois, qui était la veuve de W.E.B Du Bois, qui est aussi une légende de l'histoire de la lutte antiraciste et du développement du panafricanisme. Elle a invité Stokely Carmichael à venir en Guinée pour une conférence du Parti démocratique de Guinée pour rencontrer Kwame Nkrumah et Sékou Touré. Quand il est venu, il a rencontré les deux présidents. Il avait déjà beaucoup entendu parler de Kwame Nkrumah, parce que mon grand-père a travaillé dans un bateau un moment. Il est parti au Ghana et quand il est revenu à New York, il expliquait que c'était la première fois qu'il avait vu une nation noire, indépendante, avec sa propre armée, un président, etc. et il expliquait ceci à un jeune Stokely Carmichael. Cela a vraiment marqué sa pensée. Quelques années plus tard, ils se voient face à face avec Kwame Nkrumah. Après la conférence, en quittant la Guinée, il part dire au revoir à Sékou Touré, qui lui dit : « Écoute, mon fils. Ici, c'est chez toi, tu peux revenir quand tu veux. C'est ta maison. »  Il part voir Kwame Nkrumah qui lui dit « Écoute, moi, je cherche un secrétaire politique, donc si ça t'intéresse, tu es toujours le bienvenu. » Un an et demi plus tard, deux ans pratiquement, il était de retour avec sa nouvelle épouse, Miriam Makeba.  Qu'est ce qui fait qu'il vient s'installer à Conakry à cette époque ?  Pour lui, c'était le coin le plus révolutionnaire en Afrique. Lumumba a été assassiné très tôt donc il n'y avait plus le Congo. Après, il y a eu le coup d'État contre Kwame Nkrumah en 1966. Modibo Keïta en 1968. Quand lui est arrivé, le seul autre pays, c'était la Tanzanie, mais qui était beaucoup moins radicale. Donc il a choisi la Guinée. C'était le pays qui s'alignait le plus avec sa pensée du pouvoir noir à l'échelle mondiale.  Il est aussi menacé aux États-Unis. C'est aussi pour cela qu'il quitte les États-Unis ? De toute façon, mon père était prêt à se martyriser. Il a vu Malcolm X tué, il a vu Martin Luther King tué et les agences voulaient sa tête. Il a échappé à pas mal d'attentats. Mais ce n'était pas la raison centrale. Déjà, il y avait l'invitation. Ensuite, il ne voyait pas les États-Unis comme le centre de cette lutte à laquelle il a dédié sa vie. Il voyait l'Afrique comme étant une partie essentielle. Pour lui, en venant en Guinée, il rejoignait l'Afrique, il rejoignait la révolution africaine qui pouvait donner la dignité à tout le peuple noir à travers le monde.  Diriez-vous qu'il y a un vrai projet politique international derrière cette volonté de s'installer en Guinée ?  Il a toujours eu ce projet. Quand il parlait de Black Power, déjà, dans le livre dont vous avez parlé, il parlait aussi des colonies en Afrique. Dans Black Power, lui et Charles Hamilton faisaient le parallèle entre la situation que vivaient les Afro-Américains aux États-Unis et la situation que vivaient les Africains en Afrique et aux Caraïbes aussi. Il faisait ce parallèle. Dans sa tête, c'était quelque chose qui était un combat international dès le début.  Quelles sont les idées sur lesquelles votre père, Stokely Carmichael – Kwame Ture, une fois qu'il change de nom – et Ahmed Sékou Touré se retrouvaient ?  On parle de personnes qui avaient la même vision d'une Afrique unie, une Afrique libre où il n'y a pas d'inégalités. Ils étaient tous deux penchés vers des idées socialistes. Ils étaient totalement alignés idéologiquement. Sékou Touré était un de ses mentors, une de ces personnes qui l'ont formé dans cette idéologie.  Ils se retrouvent dans l'idée, qui est défendue par Ahmed Sékou Touré à l'époque, d'authenticité africaine ? À 100 %. Et il s'intègre à 100 %. Je peux vous dire que moi, par exemple, j'ai très peu de souvenirs de mon père en habit occidental. Il s'habillait en tenue africaine, cousue en Afrique. Il s'est enraciné dans la population africaine. Ce qui était quand même unique parce que tout le monde était tourné vers une façon de vivre occidentale. Et lui non, il voulait se réapproprier son héritage culturel.  Et la volonté de promouvoir les cultures africaines, de leur donner leur vraie place ? C'est exactement cela, revaloriser la culture africaine, la culture noire, se réapproprier celle-ci. Et ne pas avoir de complexes vis-à-vis des cultures européennes, dominantes et autres.  Depuis le début de cet entretien, on joue avec deux noms pour parler de votre père, Stokely Carmichael, Kwame Ture. À un moment donné de sa vie, il décide de passer du nom de Stokely Carmichael à celui de Kwame Ture. C'est une démarche qui dit aussi beaucoup de choses sur le lien qu'il a avec Kwame Nkrumah et Ahmed Sékou Touré.  Effectivement. Il y avait un précédent aux États-Unis. Il y avait pas mal d'Afro-Américains, notamment dans son milieu révolutionnaire, qui changeaient de nom. Notamment Malcolm X, Mohamed Ali. Bien sûr, le nom est inspiré de Kwame Nkrumah et de Sékou Touré. L'anecdote, c'est qu'il était en Tanzanie lors d'un entretien radio. Après l'entretien, apparemment, un vieil homme venu à pied d'un village lointain est venu le voir et lui a dit : « Écoute mon fils, j'ai vraiment aimé ton entretien. Mais il y a une chose : ton nom sonne un peu bizarre, un peu féminin, il faut le changer ». Il a alors pris le nom de Kwame Nkrumah et de Sékou Touré. Lorsqu'il venait l'annoncer à Sékou Touré et lui dire : « J'ai pris le prénom de Kwame », Sékou Touré lui a répondu : « C'est bien, parce qu'à chaque fois que nous avons des débats, tu prends toujours son parti. » Il lui a répondu : « Mais j'ai pris le nom Touré comme nom de famille. ». Ce qui était approprié, car c'étaient ses deux mentors. À lire aussiKwame Ture, le destin hors du commun d'un Black Panther parti s'installer en Guinée [1/2] Comment est-ce que vous décririez les liens qu'il entretenait avec Kwame Nkrumah et Ahmed Sékou Touré ? En Kwame Nkrumah, il voyait un symbole de cette lutte. Il était prêt à le suivre. Il a mené quelques opérations au Ghana pour essayer de voir s'il pouvait réinstaurer Kwame Nkrumah au pouvoir. Il était très proche de lui. Et Sékou Touré était comme un père pour lui. En 1970, votre père vit l'un des moments charnières de l'histoire de la Première République guinéenne, à savoir l'attaque contre Conakry du 22 novembre 1970. Savez-vous comment il a vécu ces journées ?  Je sais qu'il était un participant dans l'action de repousser les troupes portugaises. Il était armé ce jour et a dû utiliser son arme. Selon ce que j'ai appris, il était un des premiers à alerter les autorités, y compris le président, du fait qu'il y avait une attaque qui venait. Ca tirait sur sa case, donc il devait quitter sa maison. Lui et Miriam Makeba ont dû se réfugier quelque part d'autre où il l'a laissée et lui est ressorti pour aider à défendre la ville.  Cette opération conjointe de militaires portugais et de rebelles guinéens a conduit à la plus grande vague d'arrestations en Guinée de toute la Première République. La vie du pays va être rythmée pendant de longs mois par des confessions publiques de personnes présentées comme les complices d'un « complot impérialiste » aux ramifications tentaculaires. Comment est-ce que votre père se positionnait par rapport à cette thèse du complot permanent contre la Guinée ? Et plus généralement, quel regard portait-il sur l'État policier qu'était aussi devenu la Guinée de cette époque ?  C'est quelque chose de très complexe et malheureusement, la Guinée ne s'est toujours pas réconciliée avec ce passé et les positions sont assez ancrées. Maintenant, si on parle de Kwame Ture précisément, pour lui, c'était un régime panafricaniste, le seul régime panafricaniste radical. Et malgré toutes ses erreurs, c'était celui qui pouvait tenir jusqu'au bout cette conviction qu'il avait lui-même. Il était totalement d'accord avec le fait qu'il fallait conserver ce régime pour qu'il ne bascule pas dans un régime néocolonialiste.  À tout prix ? À tout prix.  En 1974, il y a un autre évènement important pour l'Afrique et plus généralement pour le monde noir, c'est le combat en Afrique, à Kinshasa, entre Mohamed Ali et George Foreman. Dans un livre de mémoires, votre père indique qu'il a été invité par Mohamed Ali lui-même à venir à Kinshasa pour le combat. Est-ce que vous savez ce que représentait cet affrontement pour votre père ?  Mohamed Ali était son ami. Il y avait ce symbole de Mohamed Ali qui représentait l'Africain fier et George Foreman qui était un peu l'opposé de cela. Mais après, il a rencontré George Foreman et il disait que George Foreman l'avait séduit avec son charme, l'a embrassé et tout. Je pense qu'au-delà du symbolique, mon père était beaucoup plus intéressé par ce qui se passait au Congo démocratique, c'est-à-dire le Zaïre à l'époque, et le fait que c'était sous le régime de Mobutu Sese Seko, auquel il était farouchement opposé par ce qu'il représentait en termes de corruption et d'alignement avec les puissances coloniales. Qui sont de manière générale les acteurs politiques qui fréquentaient le salon de votre père dans ces années 1970 et au début des années 1980, pendant la Première République en Guinée ? On parle d'un melting pot qui ne dit pas son nom. Que ce soit des artistes - Miriam Makeba et Nina Simone, qui était une de ses amies très proches - ou des activistes de partout dans le monde. Qui venaient à Conakry et qui venaient le rencontrer ? Qui venaient à Conakry ou qui y vivaient. Parce que vous savez qu'à une époque, Conakry était un centre du monde noir où on conciliait l'art, les mouvements de libération, etc. Il y avait un grand nombre de personnes qui y vivaient, comme Amilcar Cabral, comme Kwame Nkrumahn, avant même il y avait Félix-Roland Moumié du Cameroun, pour ce qui est de la politique. Concernant les arts et la littérature, il y avait Ousmane Sembène qui y vivait, il y avait Maryse Condé qui y vivait. C'était vraiment un centre… et il se retrouve chez lui avec toutes ces personnes, plus ou moins de différentes sphères. Moi, je peux raconter avoir vu des activistes exilés sud-africains, Tsietsi Mashinini, qui a commencé la révolte estudiantine de Soweto, qui était parmi d'autres exilés sud-africains. Il y avait beaucoup d'Afro-Américains, bien sûr, des Black Panthers exilés. Il y avait la diplomatie guinéenne, des diplomates de pays gauchistes et souverainistes, il y avait tout un monde. Mais aussi, il faut savoir que Kwame Ture était vraiment penché vers la masse, la masse populaire. Donc autour de tout ça, on voit un chef villageois qui est assis ou on voit la personne déshéritée du quartier qui est là, assise, qui peut recevoir un repas. Parce que notre maison était comme un centre communautaire pour la jeunesse du quartier. Il amenait tous les enfants du quartier à la plage chaque dimanche. Puis se retrouvait peut-être un mardi à saluer un chef d'État. Puis avait une conférence avec un groupe communautaire. Moi, j'ai vu tout cela dans cette maison. C'était quelque chose de magique. Il recevait où, justement ? Dans son salon, dans son bureau ? Y avait-il un rituel autour de la réception de ses amis politiques ? Déjà, il avait une véranda où il était assis… parce que c'était un bibliophile. Il lisait beaucoup, il écrivait beaucoup. Il ne lisait pas pour le plaisir, mais il lisait pour ses conférences. Après, il y a des gens qui venaient pour le rencontrer. Je sais qu'il y a eu Charles Taylor qui était venu de nulle part pour le rencontrer. C'était vraiment un melting pot.    À cette époque, votre père continue aussi ses voyages et ses tournées, il n'est pas tout le temps à Conakry ? Il était très organisé. Sur toutes ses photos, il écrivait les dates et les lieux. On se demande comment il pouvait parcourir toutes ces distances en si peu de temps. Un jour, on le voit au Connecticut. Le lendemain, on le voit à Paris, banni, chassé. En Angleterre, peut-être, d'où il est banni et chassé. Parce que c'était très compliqué pour lui d'avoir accès a beaucoup de pays. Après, on le voit en Californie... Il était partout. Sékou Touré disparaît en 1984. Mais votre père continue, lui, son engagement pour ses idées au sein du Parti démocratique de Guinée. Qu'est-ce qui a marqué ces années de militantisme politique sous Lansana Conté ? Le contexte a vraiment changé !  Et c'est là que l'on voit vraiment les convictions de l'homme. Parce que, du jour au lendemain, tout a changé. Il a été arrêté par le régime de Lansana Conté. Donc, il a perdu les privilèges qu'il avait, bien sûr, où il connaissait le président et était sous sa tutelle. Mais malgré cela, il a décidé de rester en Guinée. La moitié de sa vie guinéenne, quinze ans, s'est passée ainsi. Il a décidé malgré tout de rester en Guinée, d'être actif dans la vie politique guinéenne et la vie sociale de la Guinée.  … Et de rester fidèle à ses convictions.  Exactement. Vous êtes à l'époque enfant. Quel souvenir est-ce que vous gardez de ces années, de votre maison à Conakry, de ceux qui y passaient ? Quelle était l'ambiance ? Vous disiez tout à l'heure que tout le quartier se retrouvait chez vous…  C'est cela. Mon père était d'une gentillesse rare, d'un altruisme qu'on ne retrouve pas très souvent. Donc effectivement, c'était pour moi quelque chose de très formateur. Comment quelqu'un peut traiter un chef d'État avec le même respect qu'il traite la personne la plus déshéritée du quartier. Et toutes ces personnes pouvaient se retrouver chez lui, devant lui, avec le même respect, ou peut-être même le déshérité avec un peu plus d'amour.  Vous appelez régulièrement les Guinéens à se souvenir de votre père, Stokely Carmichael / Kwame Ture. Avez-vous le sentiment que son histoire a été oubliée en Guinée ?  Je parle de manière générale. Il y a une politique de mémoire en Guinée qui doit être améliorée. Stokely Carmichael est un pont unique entre l'Afrique et l'Amérique. On parle d'un personnage qui a passé la moitié de sa vie en Guinée. À ce stade, l'État guinéen n'a pas fait une seule initiative pour se réapproprier de l'héritage de cette personnalité.  Donc il y a un vrai chantier ? Il y a un chantier.  Une dernière question plus personnelle. Quel père a été Stokely Carmichael ? Quelle image retenez-vous de lui ?  Un père adorable, d'une gentillesse rarissime, qui m'a beaucoup appris, que j'ai profondément aimé. Quelqu'un qui était attaché à tout ce qui est beau dans le monde, à commencer par les enfants. ►A lire pour aller plus loin : BERTHO Elara, Un couple panafricain, Editions Rot-Bo-Krik, 2025 À (ré)écouterElara Bertho: «Replacer Conakry au centre des imaginaires, c'était un peu l'idée de cet ouvrage»

With a nurturing spirit and a no-nonsense edge, she brings the energy of your favorite “cool auntie”—a Gen X hippie with a sharp tongue, a soulful heart, and a deep commitment to truth and transformation. The daughter of a Tony-nominated opera singer and a non denominational pastor who once served as Malcolm X's bodyguard, Jamilah's life has always been steeped in legacy, purpose, and power. A gifted singer herself, she blends ancestral strength with modern-day wisdom to create spaces where people can heal, grow, and reconnect with their truest selves. :45 Just like the guests from the past three episodes, Patrick met Jamilah this past winter at Missouri Paracon! 1:58 Jamilah and Deb DeRousse's Mystical Magical Retreat by Mystical Awakenings with Big Seance previous guest and friend, Andrea Perron. 7:41 “We make sure that people come in one way and leave different.”  “It's all about just building community, being there for each other, and finding a safe space.”  Jamilah survived being shot in the head in a road rage incident in 1993, and she suffers from PTSD. 12:04 “I know what it feels like to be so down. I know what it feels like to feel like you're nothing but a burden on people. Have you noticed that nobody can convince you of how unworthy you are, more than yourself?” “Part of healing is getting back in touch with that inner child who used to laugh at fart jokes.” Unity Tree Interfaith Ministries 16:11 The daughter of a minister, Jamilah grew up in the church. She loved the music and community, but she had questions. She has begun to describe herself as a “Spiritual Eclectic.” 18:16 “A lot of people can go on Ancestry.com or DNA or whatever, and they can trace stuff back. As an African American, I can't do that. There's only so far I can go. And one of the ways that I feel more connected is through the practices that my people brought here. And that's where the hoodoo comes in, and that's where the indigenous stuff comes in, and that's where ancestor veneration comes in. So I take what I need to build the spiritual life that makes me a better person, so then I can be a better person to help other people.” 22:50 There are many ways to be of service. “I can't tell you how many times I have given a message to someone across the table as I'm doing a reading. I cannot tell you how many times I have ministered to someone over oracle cards. And in a traditional sense, I'd be going to hell right now. But that's where I was of most use. The person sat down for a word. They sat down to be filled at that point and I gave it to them.” 23:35 Jamilah breaks down her empathic abilities. 26:50 Ancestor Veneration and how the practice of Hoodoo was born. 28:10 “We had to use Christianity to kind of mask our faith, so we had to put it in with Christianity to be able to practice anything, or to be able to save any of our culture, or any of our heritage, or any of our religion, because we weren't supposed to be doing that.” On the topic of gatekeeping Hoodoo: “Understand who you are and who you're asking. We're telling you to make sure that you call for your sake, not because we're trying to gatekeep.” 33:16 “There are people of all walks of life, of all skin colors who practice Hoodoo and have a beautiful time doing so. Just make sure that you're really called.”  “A ritual or a spell is nothing but a prayer coupled with action.” 36:11 Being Gen X: “Think about this. Everything we fantasized about, all the things we wished we could have, we have seen come to pass. So we are the magical generation.” 42:22  Jamilah and Patrick discuss AI. Jamilah is all about it! 45:02 Skyclad Handmade Boutique 49:23 Shoutout to Dale Quigley of the Seeking Vibes Podcast, who recently interviewed Jamilah. Check it out! 51:32 Jamilah's parents and grandparents have fascinating stories! Her mother is a Tony-nominated opera singer known for her roles in Porgy and Bess and Aida! 53:00 “The help they were giving me didn't really help me.

Envíanos un mensaje!En este episodio he decidido abordar un tema un poco más liviano de lo habitual, pero igual de fascinante que los que normalmente exploramos en este podcast. A finales de la década de los 60 y principios de los 70, llegó a Puerto Rico un fenómeno influenciado por el movimiento de contracultura que surgió en los Estados Unidos durante esa época. La Guerra de Vietnam, junto con los asesinatos de figuras como John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Robert Kennedy y Martin Luther King Jr., provocaron una transformación social y cultural que se extendió por todo el mundo. Dentro de este contexto, surgió un grupo identificado como los “hippies”, y en Puerto Rico comenzaron a formarse varias comunas juveniles inspiradas en esa corriente.Fuentes de información y documentos adicionales disponibles en Patreon.Background Music: CO.AG MusicEnd Credits Song: Entre tu amor y mi amorSi estás buscando un cambio de carrera o escalar al próximo nivel gerencial o ejecutivo, un buen resumé y buen perfil para LinkedIn será crucial.

Hello: Autumn, 1949. Fortune editor Bill Furth, flinty-eyed gatekeeper, scans a manuscript from 30-year-old whiz kid Daniel Bell. Spots the word “charisma.” Snorts. Blue pencil meets page. Word dies swiftly, without much appeal. Fast forward ten years: charisma is everywhere. Eggheads bandy it, pundits quote it, preachers peddle it. Bell—vindicated. Since the 1950s, Americans have grown used to the word “charisma” being applied to everyone, often as a synonym for “charm”.. But what if charisma is more than charm or personal magnetism—what if it's a key to understanding the moral and spiritual crises of American life itself? That's the argument of Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump, a sweeping new book by my guest historian Molly Worthen. In it, she traces the tangled story of charisma across four centuries of American history—from the Puritans through Andrew Jackson, to Malcolm X and Donald Trump.Charismatic leaders, Worthen argues, don't simply stir emotions or win votes. They offer something deeper: a sense of cosmic meaning, spiritual clarity, and moral urgency in moments when traditional institutions seem hollow or adrift. In times of upheaval, we look for figures who promise to reveal hidden truths and restore a broken order. Molly Worthen is a scholar of American religious and intellectual history. She is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and writes regularly on religion and politics for the New York Times and other national outlets. Spellbound is her third book; she has previously authored Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism and The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost, a biography of the diplomat, Yale professor, and  Bridgeton, NJ native Charles Hill. (That last for my five listeners in South Jersey.)

"We as a society are guilty of turning a blind eye to the ongoing sexism and exploitation of women that is blatantly displayed in Hip Hop. You see, I love Hip Hop, but does Hip Hop love me?" - A Conscious Sista'. Misogyny is fundamentally defined as hatred and violence towards women. This "violence" is not limited to physical aggression; it extends to actions that make women feel uncomfortable, hostile behavior, harassment, and other things that cause hurt and trauma.• Misogynoir: When this hatred and violence are directed explicitly towards black women, it is referred to as Misogynoir. Biggie, The Great Frank White spit lyrics that demeaned women. Did he hate women? Does Hip-Hop hate women? Get On Code!This episode of Prof. Kimya's class focuses on misogyny within hip-hop culture, particularly examining the works of artists such as Biggie Smalls. Can hip-hop be revolutionary while simultaneously exhibiting misogynistic and homophobic elements, questioning the industry's power structures and the roles of both male and female artists? The conversation extends to how misogyny is perpetuated through lyrics and consumer expectations, touching upon historical contexts of sexualized content in media and the challenges of creating cultural change within the music industry. We need solutions for addressing misogyny in hip-hop, beyond mere boycotts, by fostering critical engagement, supporting local artists, and challenging deeply ingrained power dynamics.Yep.

In this raw and unfiltered Ladies Night episode, the women of No Advisory Podcast deliver a powerful conversation about healthcare disparities, personal growth, and relationship nightmares that will have you nodding in agreement and laughing out loud.When it comes to healthcare for Black women, the panel doesn't hold back. They navigate the complicated terrain of finding doctors who take them seriously, share intimate details about their experiences with various birth control methods, and discuss why representation in medicine literally saves lives. Their candid stories about dealing with debilitating period symptoms and uninformed healthcare providers highlight why Malcolm X's famous quote about Black women being "the most disrespected, neglected, and unprotected" remains painfully relevant today.The episode takes a thoughtful turn during "Soft Girl Hour," where they redefine what being in your "soft girl era" truly means. Contrary to popular belief, it's not about finding a man—it's about women who've spent years being strong, independent, and handling everything themselves finally allowing vulnerability and self-care into their lives. As one host poignantly shares, "I didn't have that era where I could just go to college and be free and be soft and just live a life. I had to get up and pay bills."Special guest Darri from the Hoe Busters podcast brings even more energy as she shares how discovering her husband's 19-year web of lies led to creating a platform for women with similar experiences. The dating disaster stories that follow—from a man who peed in the bed to another whose teeth fell out during a date—will have you howling with laughter while secretly checking your own relationship red flags.Don't miss this authentic, hilarious, and deeply moving conversation that celebrates female friendship while challenging society's treatment of Black women. And mark your calendars for next Thursday's special outdoor cookout episode where you can meet the entire No Advisory team in person!Support the showFollow us on social media www.instagram.com/noadvisorypod

Just a few years ago, historian and activist Dr. Ibram X. Kendi seemed to be everywhere. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, Kendi became one of the leading voices on racism in America—and particularly what he described as antiracism. But over the last few years, as a backlash grew against the BLM movement, Kendi also came under attack. His ideas urging people to be actively antiracist were often the target of conservative critics fighting against DEI policies and the teaching of critical race theory. Kendi was also accused of mismanaging an antiracism center at Boston University, which laid off much of its staff before closing last month (BU cleared Kendi of financial mismanagement.)  On this week's More To The Story, Kendi responds to the criticism he faced at BU, argues that the Trump administration's policies are harming both white and Black Americans, and discusses Malcolm Lives!, his new book for young readers about Malcolm X.Producer: Josh Sanburn with help from Zulema Cobb and Julia Haney | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Nikki Frick | Deputy Executive Producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Listen: Black in the Sunshine State (Reveal)Read: I'm Racist.

By Any Means Necessary: Spike Lee & The Making of Malcolm X  Cinema can change attitudes, englighten ignorance, strengthen understanding and faith. In 1992 director Spike Lee would partner with star Denzel Washington and long-time cinematographer (and NYU schoolmate) Ernest Dickerson to bring to the big screen the life of one of the most important firgures of the 20th Century, Malcolm Little to become "Red" to become Malcolm X, to become el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz. In an expansive narrative that covers over four decades and - could be argued - encapsulates the experience of Black life in the history of the United States, Spike Lee's Academy Award ignored film (save Denzel Washington's Best Actor Nomination that was lost to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman) is certainly one of the great artistic, social, and political achievements of the 20th Century. What started out as a reflection on this thirty-three year old film quickly revealed itself as a subject that would demand two episodes to truly understand Lee, Washington, and Dickerson's masterpiece. This week Mr. Chavez & I dive into the history of the films production (a 27 year odyssey that would see a change of directors, misunderstanding, financial complications, and controversy within the Black Community). This discussion took us to some emotional and thought-provoking places. We are honored to share this with you. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

This episode of Habibi House features Dr. Rudolph “Butch” Ware — historian, author, and one of the most important living scholars of Islam, Black liberation, and decolonial thought. A professor of history at UC Santa Barbara, Ware sits down with us to unpack the stories that empire tried to bury: stories of Sufi rebellion, revolutionary faith, and the sacred legacy of Black Muslims in shaping not just Islam — but global freedom movements.WHAT WE TALK ABOUT:Why there is no Islam without Black peopleHow Sufi orders led anti-colonial revolts across West AfricaWhy liberals fear true solidarity between Black and Arab communitiesWhat it means to reclaim Islam from both empire and whitenessMalcolm X, Palestine, and the revolutionary roots of faithWhy Ware says Islam is inherently radical, and liberals won't save usHow storytelling, family, and love serve as tools for resistanceWHO IS BUTCH WARE?Rudolph “Butch” Ware is a historian of West Africa, Islam, and the Black Muslim world. He's the author of The Walking Qur'an: Islamic Education, Embodied Knowledge, and History in West Africa, and a leading voice in challenging Western narratives around Islam and African history. He speaks at the intersection of Sufism, slavery, liberation theology, and Black diasporic spirituality. His work dismantles colonial myths and re-centers the sacred in our understanding of resistance.KEY QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:“There is no such thing as Islam without Black people. Islam didn't just show up in Africa — it was born in Africa.”“When the empire suppresses love, joy, and memory — storytelling becomes a revolutionary act.”“Liberalism is fine with coexistence, as long as it doesn't disrupt the structure of violence. That's not liberation.”WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERSAt a time when Muslim identity is either flattened or weaponized, Dr. Ware reminds us that faith has always been a tool of both survival and struggle. In a world where Gaza is burning, ICE is raiding, and history is being rewritten in real time, this episode offers truth — rooted in legacy, memory, and resistance.0:00 Intro – Who is Butch Ware?1:35 Growing up Muslim, Southern, and Black4:00 There is no Islam without Black people7:12 How Sufism sparked anti-colonial revolts10:05 Blackness, slavery, and prophetic tradition13:45 Liberalism vs. Revolutionary Islam16:30 Islamophobia, empire, and the theft of history20:55 Malcolm X and Gaza: Solidarity across struggle24:30 Love, storytelling, and decolonizing spirituality29:45 Final message to young Muslims and Black ArabsABOUT HABIBI HOUSEHabibi House is a culture-forward, decolonial, and unfiltered podcast centering MENA voices and their intersections with global liberation.

On Monday, May 19, 2025, we mark the 100th birthday of Malcolm X—a centennial honoring a life shaped by self-transformation, Black self-determination, and an unwavering commitment to global liberation. His words and actions continue to challenge systems rooted in white supremacy, now desperately clinging to power through international self-dealing, global realignments, and domestic attacks on voting rights, birthright citizenship, and national identity.Since his assassination in 1965, one question persists: What would Malcolm say now? From The Autobiography to ongoing efforts to define—and redefine—his legacy, from dialogues with elders, organizers, artists, and scholars, we remember Malcolm not just as a man, but as representative of an ongoing, unfinished movement.As explored in many sessions of In Class with Carr, Malcolm taught us to witness—and to act. White nationalism's violent death rattle is not a moment for silence. As Malcolm said: you don't make peace with injustice. You finish the job.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When a major Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrill-seeking Times Square moviegoers on March 21, 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian American audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle's Claw. That changed overnight as kung fu movies kicked off a craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, sell hundreds of thousands of video tapes, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest non-white stars to ever hit motion picture screens.This lavishly illustrated book tells the bone-blasting, spine-shattering story of how these films of fury ― spawned in anti-colonial protests on the streets of Hong Kong ― came to America and raised hell for 15 years before greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down.You'll meet Japanese judo coaches battling American wrestlers in backwoods MMA bouts at county fairs, black teenagers with razor sharp kung fu skills heading to Hong Kong to star in movies shot super fast so they can make it back to the States in time to start 10th grade, and Puerto Rican karate coaches making their way in this world with nothing but their own two fists.It's about an 11-year-old boy who not only created the first fan edit but somehow turned it into a worldwide moneymaker, CIA agents secretly funding a karate movie, the New York Times fabricating a fear campaign about black "karate gangs" out to kill white people, the history of black martial arts in America ("Why does judo or karate suddenly get so ominous because black men study it?," wondered Malcolm X), the death of Bruce Lee and the onslaught of imitators that followed, and how a fight that started in Japanese internment camps during World War II ended in a ninja movie some 40 years later.It's a battle for recognition and respect that started a long, long time ago and continues today in movies like The Matrix, Kill Bill, and Black Panther and here, for the first time, is the full uncensored story.2025's revised and expanded hardcover edition features new material on superstars like Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Donnie Yen, plus spotlights on unsung performers, movie poster artists, low-rent film distributors, 1980s video companies, and more!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On this episode, Amber and Erika are joined by Dr. Calvin Schermerhorn, author of “The Plunder of Black America: How the Racial Wealth Gap Was Made”, to discuss the economic status of Black Americans. Despite the propaganda that Black people have less wealth due to poor choices, laziness, and missed opportunities, Dr. Schermerhorn points us to the historical data that clearly demonstrating that Black Americans have been continuously and systematically exploited and de-capitalized through racist laws, racial violence, and outright theft. We also examine Malcolm X's vision for economically independent and vibrant Black communities and the extent to which integration distracted us from building and maintaining wealth within our own communities. Finally, Dr. Schermerhorn helps us identify reasons to be optimistic in the present fight for liberation and steps we can take to keep the past from repeating itself.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week's episode began as an investigation into a silly meme and quickly evolved into a crash course into the crossroads where the civil rights movement, Black Liberation Ideology and turn of the century occultism converged to produce the Nation of Islam whos mythic theology details a 6,000 year old big-headed black demiurgic creator being who invented the white race which, in said ideology, is sometimes referred to as “the devil.” In the free side of the show we will discuss the rise of Yakub as described by the Nation of Islam's longtime leader Elijah Mohamed, how aspects of this mythology are active and even pressing in today's cultural landscape and how big pockets of the civil rights movement root structure intersected with popular turn of the century occultism to produce Black Liberation Theology in America. In the extended show we start by indulging our inner history nerd and discover the factual basis upon which Yakub may have been based before settling in with our reading glasses and browse Elijah Mohamed's words in Message to the Blackman of America where the interesting details about Yakub's creations are described in vivid and hilarious detail.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with historian Peniel E. Joseph about his latest book, Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America's Civil Rights Revolution.Joseph's storytelling prowess brings James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jn., President Kennedy, and Boobie Kennedy to vibrant life, not as static icons but as complex humans navigating treacherous terrain. Particularly fascinating is Joseph's exploration of the forgotten women who shaped the movement—Gloria Richardson, Lorraine Hansberry, Diane Nash—who confronted both racial oppression and patriarchal limitations within activist circles. Their stories provide crucial context for understanding today's intersectional movements.What resonates most powerfully throughout our conversation is how the struggles of 1963 remain eerily familiar six decades later. As we witness contemporary battles over voting rights and historical memory, Joseph reminds us that reconciliation can only emerge through confronting difficult truths about our past, a lesson America is still struggling to learn.Peniel E.

This week on The Monday Edit, we have a very special guest joining in on the Monday fun: best selling author Anna Malaika Tubbs stopped by to tell us all about her new book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and helps us hone in on real time examples of our Patriarchy is being weaponized today. Anna unpacks how the United States has constructed a unique—and often invisible—gendered hierarchy, one that is inextricably linked to whiteness and a deeply flawed binary system. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court, from the erasure of women in the Constitution to the ongoing fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, Dr. Tubbs reveals the mechanisms that have kept women's contributions hidden and their voices suppressed. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a scholar, advocate, and bestselling author (The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation) whose work brings a fresh, urgent perspective on American history and its gendered systems. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into clear and engaging stories. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, The Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, former Mayor of Stockton, CA Michael Tubbs  and their three young children. Not A Phase.
