Having listened to 35 minutes of this (and I will get to the rest), I must congratulate Marc and the station for such a wonderful history lesson- the kind of lesson that should be taught widely in high schools and colleges- about the civil rights and anti war movements as Stokely related to them.
I lament the absence of such leaders today- altho maybe the Professor from Princeton is an articulate spokesman (why am I blanking on the name).
Fighting racism AND imperialism is all but forgotten to today’s youth.
Having listened to the rest-again- congratulations. Marc you talk abt the lessons for movement building and I wish you all had brought this up to today- where we have no movement, to speak of.
I support SPARK- a group which will run candidates in Detroit in the fall. It concentrates on workers.
the whole question of celebrity movement figures, or martyrdom, the fact that Stokely left the U S and the movement of this country since Reagan backwards into conservatism and subtler but still racism in the south- stand yr ground and voter suppression.
I know you do more than any one to cover progressive youths and good developements in Baltimore.
Keep it up.
