iMiXWHATiLiKE!
Rosa Clemente, Ajamu Baraka and Suncere Ali Shakur offered this week their reflection as on-the-ground journalists, activists and organizers on the 10th anniversary of Katrina. Plus we heard a classic speech from Chokwe Lumumba and music from The Legendary KO, Dookoom and David Banner, plus Red Eagle and Pure Fire.
“i MiX WHAT i LiKE” is borrowed – in phrase and philosophy – from the work of Steve Biko. The collection of Biko’s “Frank Talk” columns titled I Write What I Like is much of the inspiration for the attempt here to blend the traditions of radical broadcasting, the mixtape and Black Consciousness with what Dr. Hemant Shah has called “Emancipatory Journalism.” More at imixwhatilike.org.
