Readings On Systemic Racism & Analog Africa Interludes

The last few months have been isolating and emotionally exhausting. There is no vaccine  for the coronavirus in sight, and racial injustice is still such an inherit part of our culture, globally -there is so much work that has to be done. The month of June has marked an unforgettable milestone. How can we create a world where people of color aren't left out and slain on the streets? We've witnessed businesses on lock-down, and thousands still out of work with little to no hope of what's to come. Meanwhile, immigrants are still imprisoned in modern day concentration camps, thousands of children are locked in sex trafficking circles, school shootings have only halted because schools have been closed...so why is it that the US is so far behind in establishing a system that benefits it's people? Episode includes readings on three books; Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of my Mother, Keven Bales' Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy, and Ta-Nehisi Coates' We Were Eight Years In Power. Stay till the end to indulge in an extended playlist of radical tunes by Black musicians, which also feature tracks from the Analog Africa archives.
