Next month marks the five year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. Across the state and country, protests soon followed as videos and the news spread of his death, sparking wider conversation around race, police violence and more in our daily lives.  But what has and hasn’t changed since then? To answer these questions and more we’ll hear from Candace Avalos, Portland City Councilor representing District 1, Luke Richter, president of the Central Oregon Peacekeepers and Mic Crenshaw, an activist, educator and hip-hop artist. We’ll also hear from Aaron Schmautz, the president of both the Portland Police Association and the Oregon Coalition of Police and Sheriffs. 

Lessons about Oregon's racist roots from Katie Pearson of Oregon Historical Society and Mic Crenshaw, who fought racism.

This week, we're sharing an interview with 2 contributors an amazing history of anti-racist organizing in the late 1980's through the mid 1990's in Portland, Oregon, and with ripples across the so-called USA & beyond. In 2020 KBOO radio released a serialized podcast which became the basis for the book. A brief intro to the book can be found below... It Did Happen Here: Podcast Book Instagram Mic Crenshaw: website twitter facebook instagram bandcamp Moe Bowstern Instagram The A-Zone People Mic mentioned who were attacked for being white anti-racists in Pdx: June “T-Rex” Knightly https://heavy.com/news/june-knightly/ Michael Reinhol: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/michael-reinoehl-antifa-killing-deputies-wont-be-charged-1230943/ Mic Crenshaw was born and raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and currently resides in Portland, Oregon.

Crenshaw is the lead US organizer for the Afrikan Hiphop Caravan and uses cultural activism as a means to develop international solidarity related to human rights and justice through hip hop and popular education. Crenshaw was a founding member of the Minneapolis Baldies and Anti Racist Action. He was a coproducer and narrator of the podcast version of It Did Happen Here. Moe Bowstern is a alum of the anarchist space in Chiacgo known as the @-zone that lasted from 1993 to 2003. She's also a writer, laborer, Fisher Poet, and DIY social practice artist. Moe is the longtime editor of many publications, including the commercial fishing zine Xtra Tuf. She contributed to the writing of the book version of It Did Happen Here and lives in Portland, OR. For the hour, we talk about the book and podcast, the reach, the resonance to anti-racist struggle today in Portland and beyond. We also talk about the toll of the violence faced and engaged by folks pushing back the organized white supremacy of the day, police and institutional violence and other, related topics. If you would like people featured in this book to come and speak at your institution, you can reach them at ItDidHappenHerePodcast at gmail dot com, through PM Press, or via the IDHH instagram. This book was published by PM Press as a part of the Working Class History series. Another featured title in that series that was recently released was a similar documentary history with a really good narrative on the history of Anti-Racist Action in the 1990's and early 2000's throughout the midwest of Turtle Island, both in so-called Canada and the USA, and bits of other areas. Hopefully we'll feature a chat with one of the contributors to that book entitled We Go Where They Go: The Story of Anti-Racist Action soon on this show. . ... . ..

Today on Sojourner Truth we discuss the wrongful killing of Tyre Nichols, a 29 year old black man who was beaten up and tased by five black police officers and later died in the hospital. According to the family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, an independent autopsy was done by a forensic pathologist, which determined that Nichols died of “excessive bleeding caused by a severe beating.” Police claim to have stopped Nichols for a traffic violation and that he became aggressive and tried to reach for one of the officers' guns, however video footage showed that police lied in their report. Videos of the beating that involved five black officers who at one point laid on top of Nichols all at once, was released Friday January 27th, leading to widespread national protests and putting a national spotlight on Memphis,TN police and the wider conversation around systemic failures and racism in policing. A 6th police officer, Preston Hemphill, who is white, has been let go from the police force as the investigation on the killing of Tyree Nichols continues. Hemphill's attorney confirmed he was the 3rd officer at the initial stop and the body cam footage was from his body cam. Hemphill's body camera captures part of the initial confrontation with Nichols. In the video, Hemphill can be seen using a Taser on him. Later, a voice on the body cam that seems to be Hemphill's says, “I hope they stomp his a--” after Nichols escaped. The sheriff in Shelby County, Tenn., which includes Memphis, said two of his deputies were relieved of duty amid an internal investigation, citing “concerns” after they “appeared on the scene following the physical confrontation between police and Tyre Nichols.” The Memphis Fire Department has also said it pulled two personnel from duty in response to the case and launched an internal investigation. Days before Tyre Nichols passed three men were killed by the Los Angeles Police Department within 48 hours. Our guests joining us for the hour to unpack the aftermath of the death of Tyre Nichols as well as the recent killing of three men by Los Angeles Police include: Ash-Lee Henderson, the first Black woman to serve as the co-executive director of the Highlander Research and Education Center. Ash-Lee is an active participant in the Movement for Black Lives. Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History and African-American Studies at the University of Houston, and organizer Mic Crenshaw. Mic Crenshaw is an independent hip hop artist, respected emcee, poet, educator and activist and the lead U.S. Organizer for the Afrikan Hip-Hop Caravan who uses Cultural Activism as a means to develop international solidarity related to Human Rights and Justice through Hip Hop and Popular Education.

Today on Sojourner Truth: We commemorate Earth Day, which was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. As world leaders gather today virtually for a White House climate summit, President Joe Biden has announced plans to slash green house gas emissions in half by 2030. This, as the Biden administration proposes that nations support the Paris Climate Accord, which the U.S. has now rejoined. But is this enough? Environmentalists have longed criticized the Paris Climate Accord for being too modest given the level of devastation of the environment. Many also decry what they call false solutions to the climate crisis. They say capitalism and its market-focused economy are at odds with protecting the planet. For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Paula Gioia, a beekeeper and peasant farmer in a community-run agroecological farm in Germany near Berlin. Japan intends to dump more than a million tons of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This follows the 2011 incident, where six atomic power reactors were severely damaged following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake which was followed by a tsunami that damaged the nuclear plant. Our guest is Kevin Kamps, who has served as Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Beyond Nuclear advocates for an energy future that is sustainable, benign and democratic. On Thursday, April 22, the funeral of Daunte Wright will be held. Daunte was shot and killed by the police just ten miles from where George Floyd was killed. Since then, there have been two other police killings of Black people that we know about. Our guest is Mic Crenshaw, an anti-racist campaigner raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and now based in Portland, Oregon, where he is the Regional Director of Hip-Hop Congress. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Today on Sojourner Truth, we discuss the trial of Derek Chauvin, the white police officer who murdered George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25, 2020. Chauvin's murder trial began on March 8, 2021, with opening statements beginning on Monday, March 29. This has become one of the most closely watched court cases in decades. Floyd, a Black father of three and a grandfather of two, was killed during an arrest after a store clerk claimed he used a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, handcuffed him and slammed him face-down on the street. Three other officers - Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng - restrained Floyd and another prevented passersby from defending Floyd. They have also been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin proceeded to kneel on Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds, preventing him from breathing. As he was pinned under Chauvin's knee, Floyd repeatedly cried out for help and said that he couldn't breathe. During the final two minutes of him being pinned down, Floyd was motionless and had no pulse. The Minneapolis police took no immediate action to directly treat him and Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck until medics arrived. Following Floyd's murder, Chauvin was fired and charged with second-degree murder. In the following weeks, protests against systemic racism and in solidarity with Black lives erupted in cities across the United States and around the world. Protests began in Minneapolis, but quickly spread to over 2,000 cities and towns in over 60 countries, according to The Guardian. Some polls have estimated that as many as 26 million people participated in the demonstrations. Our guests are Mic Crenshaw, Kieran Knutson and Nana Gyamfi.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Jacob Blake remains hospitalized after being shot nine times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Kenosha today, September 1, over objections of the state's governor. Trump said he will not be meeting with the Blake family, but will be meeting with law enforcement. Joe Biden has said he has spoken to the Blake family. In Portland, Oregon, the killing of a far-right supporter on Saturday, August 29, got this response from Donald Trump: "Rest In Peace." Trump tweeted support for the far-right group that organized in Portland a Trump-support caravan, where people fired paint balls and pepper spray at protesters. He said they were "great patriots." Trump has consistently refused to call to account violence by his supporters, but has said that Homeland Security will set up an office to investigate "left-wing violent protesters." Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, sheriffs killed a Black man who was stopped by them while riding his bicycle. Is the nation headed for a race war? Or is the nation already in a race war? Has Donald Trump, while stoking racist sentiments and divisions, managed to shift the focus away from police killings of Black people to law and order? Our guests are Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings and Mic Crenshaw. Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings is Assistant Minister at Bradford Community Church Unitarian Universalist in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Mic Crenshaw was born and raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Crenshaw is an independent hip hop artist, respected emcee, poet, educator and activist. Also, we remember Chadwick Boseman, the actor whose death at 43 years old from colon cancer shocked his fans and those who worked with him. Best known for his character as King T'challa in the worldwide blockbuster film "Black Panther," Boseman kept his illness from the world while working ill. His other notable roles include playing James Brown in "Get On Up" and Thurgood Marshall in "Marshall."
