G. Kelley – Solidarity & Black Resistance to Fascism & Genocide || Langston Hughes, the great African American poet, said decades ago, “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America.” Fascism can and has led to genocide. Progressive African American intellectuals, writers, poets, and musicians have had a long tradition and history of solidarity and resisting fascism and genocide, from Frederick Douglass to Gil Scott-Heron, from Sojourner Truth to Angela Davis, from W.E.B. Du Bois to John Lewis, from Paul Robeson to Amiri Baraka, from Ida B. Wells to Malcolm X, from Ella Baker to Dr. King, from Harry Belafonte to Sonny Rollins, from James Baldwin to Cornel West and up to the present moment where Robin D.G. Kelley warns “We're witnessing the consolidation of a fascist police state.” http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=302287 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=302275 30 Apr, 2025 || 0:58:00 || Music beyond boundaries for a digital world! || Deep Threes is now available on the !earshot platform.

A chill is sweeping the country. We ignore it at our peril. The warning signs are everywhere. Alaska GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski says, “We are all afraid.” Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey says, “The fear is real.” New York Times columnist Masha Gessen writes, “America’s Police State Has Arrived.” A Columbia University dean told students, “Nobody can protect you. These are dangerous times.” Conservative PBS commentator David Brooks calls for “a civic uprising to fight back and adds: “We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Dissent is being criminalized. People are being deported without any kind of due process. Court rulings are being ignored. Democracy, civil liberties and free speech are all under attack. What can be done to reverse cowboy authoritarianism in America? http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=302149 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=302108 23 Apr, 2025 || 0:58:00 || Music beyond boundaries for a digital world! || Deep Threes is now available on the !earshot platform.

I grew up in the 1950s in New York in the shadow of that tragedy. I was surrounded by survivors named Garabedian, Giragosian, Hagopian and others who always spoke fondly of “yergeer,” the country they were forced to abandon. My mother Araxie was from, Dubneh, a village near Diyarbakir and my father Bedros was from Nbishi a village near Palu in what is now Eastern Turkey. Their memories, and those of others from the “old” country filled my ears as did their tales of how they escaped death and got to America. I’d listened to their stories in Armenian not understanding everything but knowing for them “yergeer” was a special place. It was home. Houshamadyan are precious memory books of a millennial-old civilization virtually lost but not forgotten. http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=302016 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301936 16 Apr, 2025 || 0:29:45 || Young Life, Ministry Network, RESNA || This program focuses on disability issues.

Really existing capitalism, which relies heavily on taxpayer support, embodies a near genetic drive to consolidate, to dominate and ultimately to eliminate competition. This leaves people with fewer choices and higher prices, exactly the outcome desired by the monopolists. Democracy, particularly in the U.S., has largely morphed into an oligarchy run by and for plutocrats. As corporate control of media increases and as inequality widens, and as the eco-crisis continues apace, one can expect a future of social unrest. http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301782 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301739 9 Apr, 2025 || 0:29:53 || Musician, Harkin insititute, Accessible housing || This program focuses on disability issues.

Alas, Chomsky wrote those words more than 50 years ago. The U.S. has given Israel hundreds of billions in aid over the years. In addition, Washington provides crucial diplomatic, political and military support. Internationally because of Gaza both the U.S. and Israel are increasingly isolated. General Moshe Yallon, former Israeli chief of staff and defense minister says Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing. http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301590 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301538 2 Apr, 2025 || 0:29:53 || Multiplied by one, dysphonia, atra || This program focuses on disability issues.

Take Newark, NJ. If you travel down a one-mile stretch of Doremus Avenue in Newark you pass a natural gas plant next to a sewage treatment facility next to an animal fat rendering plant next to a series of ominous looking chemical storage containers behind acres of fencing. Airplanes pass overhead every two minutes, their engines rattling windows, while a putrid smell wafts from the open pools at the sewage treatment plant. Nationally, where are these polluters located? Overwhelmingly in poor communities of color like the Ironbound section of Newark where activists are organizing and fighting back to create a just, vibrant and sustainable community. http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301414 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301332 26 Mar, 2025 || 0:29:42 || Disciples Access, yoga family, SOS || This program focuses on disability issues.

Vulnerable groups are being targeted. It’s happened before. Decades ago, speaking to the National Jewish Congress, Dr Martin Luther King, Jr said, “My people were brought to America in chains. Your people were driven here to escape the chains fashioned for them in Europe. There are Hitlers loose in America today, both in high and low places. As the tensions and bewilderment of economic problems become more severe, history's scapegoats, the Jews, will be joined by new scapegoats, the Negroes. The Hitlers will seek to divert people's minds and turn their frustrations and anger to the helpless, to the outnumbered.” http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301157 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=301127 19 Mar, 2025 || 0:29:50 || Author, Advocate, ECC || This program focuses on disability issues.

It's not even past." Trauma, a Greek word for wound, takes on myriad shapes and forms. It often remains and reverberates through generations. There is individual trauma and collective trauma. However, just because you suffered does not give you permission to inflict suffering on others. Angela Davis said, “Victimization cannot be permitted to function as a halo of innocence.” Empathy is the ability to take on another person's perspective, to understand, feel, and possibly share and respond to their experience. Victims need our empathy, our compassion but not according to the world’s richest man. Elon Musk has said, “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” Wow. http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300955 http://www.previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300868 12 Mar, 2025 || 0:29:42 || CCDI, Navigating disability conversations in politics and employment || This program focuses on disability issues.
