The State of Black America

Two weeks ago, President Barack Obama offered his State of the Union Address to the citizens of America. There is an irony in that statement, because the word “union” is derived from the Latin word, “unio” meaning “oneness.” Yet, African-Americans experience a separate reality from that of the mainstream America discussed by the president on Jan. 27.

audioAmerica Killed Michael Jackson
From , aired Jun 29, 2009
Uhuru Radio director Nyabinga Dzimbahwe is joined by longtime radio host and African music historian Norman Otis Richmond for a special program remembering Michael Jackson and examining the life and struggles of this incredibly talented African man. Michael Jackson, who influenced nearly all performers who came after him, died on Thursday, June 25, 2009, and even after his death the imperialist media attacks him and his family as it does the African community in general. Michael Jackson's talent grew out of the African community, and his torment came from an ideological assault waged against the African community by America that tells African people every day that one’s success is dependent on how white-like he or she is. This 2-hour special features songs by the artist, commentary by Richmond and Dzimbahwe, as well as by callers to the program.
