Full Circle 02-17-2023 A Black Women’s History of the United States

(ICYMI) Tonight’s Full Circle, discusses A Black Women’s History of the United States by Daina Ramey Berry & Kali Nicole Gross.  In addition, sentient shiloh b plays excerpts of archived speeches and readings of Angela Davis, Shirley Chisholm, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ntozake Shange and Kathleen Cleaver from the Pacifica Radio Archives Voices that Changed the World Collection. All five women are contained in the powerful and important pages of A Black Women’s History of the United States because they all voice their visions of liberation, courageously resist, and assert their autonomy and authority in calling for social justice and how to achieve it.  Black Women musicians provide the soundtrack to accompany and amplify these freedom dreams and calls for collective liberation. Tracy Chapman, Seinabo Sey, Alicia Keys, Andra Day, Nina Simone, and Shelly Doty with Skip the Needle are heard in this hour.

Black Her-story

On this weeks show Bernard and Neal dipped back into black history and combined it with women’s history month, the result…some black women’s Herstory.

Women’s History

 

Shwanika and Neal hosted a show paying tribute to Women’s History month on March 22nd. This show featured works by Angelina and Neal, discussion of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a clip of Eve Ensler and a breakdown with our in studio guest Preeti Shekar, the Executive Director of Narika, of the pros and cons of her V-Day and 1 Billion Rising events. This was a truly thought provoking show.

On March 15th, Bernard hosted his graduation show featuring 4 black female authors. In this round table they talked about their books, what it takes to get published, and a ton of other things. It was definitely a great show!
