This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! Today we talk about the 19th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which is Thursday, August 29. Today is also the anniversary of Emmet Till's (July 25, 1941-August 28, 1955) killing in Money, MS. He would have been 83 this year. He was killed 63 years ago.  We speak with veterans of the Civil Rights Resistance Movement: Dr. Robert H. King (https://www.kingsfreelines.com/), Mr. Malik Rahim, and Baba Kalamu Ya Salaam.
