COINTELPRO, George Jackson and other stories

Oh... I just heard myself say I'd post more links about George Jackson, the Black Panther Party and heaven knows what else....
This particular programme was first broadcast in August 2011 - I put it up now because I didn't want to leave it too long before playing part Two of COINTELPRO 101.

I also think it's about time to play the programme that was made for the birthday of Angela Davis.... let's do that next week.

Here are some links:

Of course there's also lots more material to be found on YouTube if you look.

Huey P - belated HapPy birthday

Today's show is the Happy Birthday Huey episode, first broadcast on February 17... the show which somehow broke some ole camel's back.... Didn't I tell you to stop smoking those things?

In memory of... Gil Scott Heron, Curtis Mayfield, Allen Ginsberg

Today's show includes some exclusive interviews made with Gil Scott-Heron, Curtis Mayfield and Allen Ginsberg by Maurice Di of A Love Supreme Broadcasts, Amsterdam.
Di made radio with a number of stations in Amsterdam between 1985 and 1997.

Gil Scott-Heron died on May 27, 2011; Curtis Mayfield and Allen Ginsberg were born on June 3, Curtis in 1942 and Ginsberg in 1926 - plenty of reasons to hear from all of them in a couple of hours.

In the next couple of shows you'll finally hear COINTELPRO 101 part 2 and the programmes we made earlier this year for the birthdays of Angela Davis and Huey P Newton.

You can't say we don't bring you some great treats.
