December 29th of every year marks another anniversary of the Wound Knee Massacre of 1890, and the Occupation of Wounded Knee occurred from 02/27/1973 to 05/08/1973. The Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 is the result of the United States (U.S.) 7th Calvary stopping Miniconjou and Lakota Ghost Dancers and community members from returning home to Pine Ridge in what is presently known as South Dakota. The Wounded Knee Massacre took place near the Wounded Knee Creek during a time when the United States government essentially banned all Native American cultural traditions, ceremonies, and “religious” practices. Shortly thereafter the initial encounter, a scuffle ensued which resulted in the U.S. 7th Calvary open firing and killing over three hundred Indigenous women, children, and men. The Occupation of Wounded Knee from 02/27/1973 to 05/08/1973 is the outcome of over 200 members of the American Indian Movement (A.I.M.) and supporters occupying Wounded Knee (Lakota Nation) in response to a call to action from traditional Lakota residents who's civil, human, and treaty rights were constantly being violated by corrupt Indigenous and United States government officials. The Wound Knee Occupation resulted in a 67-day military standoff with U.S. government officials and quickly drew international and domestic support from people, organizations, and foreign governments throughout the world. Today's show on American Indian Airwaves is comprised of sound from two principal sources: The Pacifica Radio archives and the documentary A Tattoo on My Heart: The Warriors of Wounded Knee 1973. The Pacifica Radio Archives include original reports from Pacifica's-affiliate station, KPFA in Berkeley, CA which covered live the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation. In addition, sound from the documentary A Tattoo on My Heart: The Warriors of Wounded Knee 1973 includes reflective testimonies of the Wound Knee Indigenous activist such as Lenny Foster, Bill Means, Madonna Thunderhawk, and narrated by the late Floyd “Red Crow” Westerman, plus more.

REBROADCAST. The Supreme Court is set to rule on a major abortion case this year, and the court could decide to overturn Roe v. Wade. Already, places like Oklahoma, Texas and Idaho are rolling out major abortion restrictions. So today, we're going back to the pre-Roe years, when one group of women got fed up and decided to take their health into their own hands. We talk to “self-helpers” Carol Downer and Francie Hornstein, who led a movement for safe abortions and education for women by women. Here's the link to our transcript: https://bit.ly/3v5d23E This episode was produced by Wendy Zukerman, with help from Meryl Horn, Rose Rimler and Michelle Dang. We're edited by Blythe Terrell.

This week on Voices from the Frontlines... THE TRIO IS BACK; Alan Minsky, Channing Martinez, and Eric Mann speak with Meena Roman from the Third-World Network, about moving forward the Black Nationalist, Third-World Alliance movement. The white-settler state that is the United States that has raped, pillaged, and created what they now call the "third-world" is afraid of being called the genocidal white-settler state that it is. Malcolm X began shifting the base of his leadership position from the Nation of Islam to one that was rooted in Black Nationalism. He understood that religion, at the base of his leadership, couldn't unify the Black nation in the United States, but a Black Nationalist platform could unify the Black Nation. The Pacifica Radio Archives is a massive collection of audio content from voices like Malcolm X, the last recording of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Angela Davis, Fannie Lou Hamer, James Baldwin, W.E.B. DeBois, Lorraine Hansberry, and thousands more. During this episode we are also raising money for the Pacifica Radio Archives to preserve these voices and so many more, which are being obliterated by this white-settler state that under no circumstances wants to be called out for its atrocities and on-going oppression. Call (800)735-0230 and donate $250 to the Pacifica Radio Archives and get the Encyclopedia of Sound; 1600 hours of audio content from the most powerful voices in the world. The archives is working to digitize the ONLY recordings of these historic and massively powerful voices.

What follows is a six week trial - the first to be filmed for Court TV - in which the lives of the boys' families are devastatingly pulled apart in front of the cameras, junk science is flung around the courtroom. The band will have to prove their innocence, in a classic piece of courtroom theatre, by explaining the suspicious nonsense phrases found when they play their music backwards. Matthew Syed tells the story of the case and examines the stubborn myth of mind control and hidden influences. From the fascination with subliminal messages in mid-century advertising, to self-help tapes in the 1980s and the fear for the minds of young YouTube fans falling asleep to strange sounds in order to wake up with glowing skin, Matthew considers the misconceptions about the way we're influenced. With David Van Taylor, filmmaker and director of Dream Deceivers: Heavy Metal on Trial; Timothy E. Moore, professor in the Department of Psychology, Glendon College, York University; and Hugo Mercier, research scientist at the CNRS Institut Jean Nicod, Paris. Wilson B.

December 29th of 2020 marks the 130th year anniversary of the Wound Knee Massacre of 1890 and the Occupation of Wounded Knee occurred from 02/27/1973 to 05/08/1973. The Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 is the result of the United States (U.S.) 7th Calvary stopped Miniconjou and Lakota Ghost Dancers and community members from returning home to Pine Ridge in what is now known as South Dakota. The Would Knee Massacre took place near the Wounded Knee Creek during a time when the United States government essentially banned all Native American traditions and ceremonies. Shortly thereafter the initial encounter, a scuffle ensued which resulted in the U.S. 7th Calvary open firing and killing over 300 Indigenous women, children, and men. The Occupation of Wounded Knee from 02/27/1973 to 05/08/1973 is the outcome of over 200 members of the American Indian Movement and supporters occupying Wounded Knee (Lakota Nation) in response to a call to action from traditional Lakota residents whose civil, human, and treaty rights were constantly being violated by corrupt Indigenous and United States government officials. The Wound Knee Occupation resulted in a 67-day military standoff with U.S. government officials and quickly drew international and domestic support from people, organizations, and foreign governments throughout the world. Today's show on American Indian Airwaves is comprised of sound from two principal sources: The Pacifica Radio archives and the documentary A Tattoo on My Heart: The Warriors of Wounded Knee 1973. The Pacifica Radio Archives include original reports from Pacifica's-affiliate station, KPFA in Berkeley, CA which covered live the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation. In addition, sound from the documentary A Tattoo on My Heart: The Warriors of Wounded Knee 1973 includes reflective testimonies of the Wound Knee Indigenous activist such as Lenny Foster, Bill Means, Madonna Thunderhawk, and narrated by the late Floyd “Red Crow” Westerman, plus more.

Today on Sojourner Truth, Part 2 of our International Women's Strike Los Angeles 2020 event. The event was held to mark International Women's Day. If you missed Part 1 of our special, you can find it by going to SoundCloud.com and searching for Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod. On Saturday, March 7, hundreds of people converged in South Los Angeles to take part in the International Women's Strike Los Angeles. The event was held in solidarity with events happening around the world for International Women's Day. It included a rally, a feminism for the 99 percent dance party, an interactive performance piece, street art, music, healing and action areas. Women and girls in countries across the world " from Thailand to Poland, Kenya and Argentina " held events. The strike demanded action for our rights, living wages (including for mothers and other caregivers), an end to violence, murder and the forced disappearance of women, an end to war, and respect for the rights of Mother Earth. The Los Angeles International Women's Day events began in 2000. They were followed by a call from women in Ireland for a one-day strike. They approached the Wages for Housework Campaign, who agreed to take the events globally. Thus, the birth of the Global Women's Strike. Then in 2017, women in Argentina followed by women in Poland and other countries around the world, called for an International Women's Strike on International Women's Day. Since then, women in Los Angeles and in at least 50 countries have participated. In Los Angeles, the strike was planned by a cross-movement multiracial team of women representing diverse grassroots organizations and networks. Today, as Part 2 of our special, you will hear more speeches and performances from the International Women's Strike held in South Los Angeles. First, you will hear from Dolores Huerta, a civil rights icon who presented this years Women Warrior honor to Susan Burton and Lawana Panther Mancina. Susan Burton is the founder of A New Way of Life, which provides housing and other support to formerly incarcerated women. Lawana Panther Mancina is the family member of one of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Lawana's son spoke on her behalf. Last year, in 2019, Dolores Huerta was the recipient of the Women Warrior honor. Afterwards, you will hear a statement delivered by Trudy Goodwin on behalf of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, known as BAJI. BAJI fights for immigrant rights and racial justice with African-Americans and Black immigrants across the U.S. Following that, you will hear statements delivered by Kenia Alcocer, Co-Chair of the California Poor People's Campaign, and La Mikia Castillo with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles. Following our Station Break and our weekly Earth Minute, you will hear more statements from Marwa Rifahie, a Civil Rights attorney speaking about the rights of Palestinian people, and Pat Alviso with Military Families Speak Out. That is followed by a touching poem delivered by Sabreen Adeeba.

The Community of Grace: Day to day life in a curbside community in Oakland May 3, 2019 Homelessness is rising dramatically in the Bay Area, but usually communities are covered by the news only when there's a crisis – only when there's a fire, or an eviction – some kind of crisis that throws the people who live there into conflict with city officials.

Our long-form reporter, Lucy Kang, spent more than two months visiting, recording interviews, and learning the rhythms of daily life at one place called the Community of Grace: the rules they live by, how it enforces them, how people wound up there, and where they hope to get to in the future.

Before Roe v. Wade, there were thousands of illegal abortions in the U.S. every year. Some of these were incredibly dangerous; women would use knitting needles or coat hangers to end pregnancies. This, and other illegal methods, could lead to injury or death. In the 1970s, one group of women got fed up and decided to take women's health into their own hands. We talk to “self-helpers” Carol Downer and Francie Hornstein, who led a movement for safe abortions and education for women by women.

How do you write a love poem to a 2,000 year old stranger? On Popcast, hear about Northern Irish poet Seamus Heaney's obsession with "bog bodies." These centuries-old human remains were found in boglands of Northern Europe, and were often killed in violent, ritualistic ways – something that resonated with Heaney, living in war-torn Belfast. Bioarcheologist Andrew Chamberlain and Heaney scholar Stephen Enniss of the University of Texas at Austin weigh in on the science and symbolism of bog bodies in Heaney's work.

Describing Sylvia Plath in 1972, Plath's editor Fran McCullough says: "instances of her bitchiness and snobbery [were] quite astonishing. And of course she was a Scorpio." Jumping off from there, host Eliza Smith uses the lens of astrology to understand Plath's work, asking Bay Area astrologer Jessica Lanyadoo to analyze Plath's star chart. What follows is a tragic and insightful reading. Want to see what Sylvia Plath's star chart looks like?

On April 15th, 1949, Pacifica station KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley went on the air, introducing public sponsored community radio to America, and cementing its place in history as the steadfast anchor of the Pacifica Radio Network. Founded by Lewis Hill - a Quaker, World War II conscientious objector, and former commercial radio news broadcaster - Pacifica Radio was a new concept for listeners. It was to be supported solely by listener-sponsors, owing nothing to corporate interests or advertisers, and adhere to a mission of providing an uncensored outlet for creative expression, a forum for unpopular viewpoints, and a safe haven for artistic experiments with the radio medium. The grand experiment continues today, with five ’sister’ stations in San Francisco (KPFA 94.1 FM), Los Angeles (KPFK 90.7 FM), Houston (KPFT 90.1 FM), Washington DC (WPFW 89.3 FM), and New York (WBAI 99.5 FM), plus over 100 affiliate radio stations across the globe. From the storied depths of the Pacifica Radio Archives, which curates over 50,000 recordings representing sixty years of Pacifica’s broadcast history, From the Vault presents an audio celebration of Pacifica’s sixtieth birthday, featuring classic recordings of Dylan Thomas, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Lewis Hill, Alan Watts, Decca Treuhaft, Tennessee Williams, John Trudel, Harvey Milk, Edward Said, and Frank Zappa, and many more.

This lecture from the Pacifica Radio Archives features historian Howard Zinn, author of "The People's History of the United States", discussing Christopher Columbus. When Columbus encountered the American continent by accident in 1492 there were tens of millions of indigenous Indians already there practicing various forms of tribal spirituality. In order to legalize the plundering of the lands of these indigenous people, the Pope proclaimed the Doctrine of Discovery, a law that said that only Christians could hold title to lands, and that lands inhabited by non-Christians were available for the taking. In his lecture, Zinn shares excerpts from Columbus' journals and examines popular misconceptions and realities about him that are rarely talked about as Columbus Day and the "discovery of America" are celebrated year after year. Contact Information- www.howardzinn.org.Originally aired on October 11, 2008.

This week’s From the Vault, hosted by KPFK’s Margaret Prescod, showcases restored recordings of women who have given their voices, time, and energy to civil and human rights — proud women who have stood against racism and sexism, whose battlefield was grounded in America’s civil rights movement. In this episode, we honor Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Lorraine Hansberry by hearing them, remembering them, thanking them for all they have taught us, and acknowledging that their hard work changed not only the United States, but also the world. From deep within the vault, thanks to the Preservation and Access Project, these historic recordings surface once again, and shine with relevance as Pacifica Radio Archives continues its celebration of Black History Month. From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.

On this series premiere of From the Vault, we’re celebrating the 57th anniversary of the legendary community radio network Lewis Hill founded in 1949. But instead of a typical collage of all the great clips from Pacifica’s past, we’re looking specifically at the two people who most defined the network. The first, of course, is Lewis Hill: pacifist, conscientious objector, and Pacifica’s original visionary. The second is Elsa Knight Thompson: one of the first women radio broadcasters, an award-winning journalist, and famed interviewer. These two were the spirit of Pacifica for the Network’s first 20 years. And their spirits still guide Pacifica and all listener-sponsored radio. They shared a common belief - a fundamental belief - that all opinions were entitled to an outlet, that everyone was entitled to a voice. This week, we hear theirs. The second half of this show introduces David Moore, Lewis Hill’s son. David Moore selected one program out of the entire Pacifica Radio Archives’ vault to play raw and unedited, and we’ll hear his comments on why this particular recording is so important to him.
