Latin Waves Media show

Summary: In a world of multiple intersections of poverty, war, violence, the MSM would paint a world that just crazy and out of control. However violence is productive when it becomes an everyday occurrence people stop thinking about how it limits their other freedoms. On this weeks show Host Stuart Richardson interviews Managing Editor of the Black Agenda Report Bruce Dixon, As a rank and file member of the Black Panther Party in 1969-1970, a 1970s rank-and-file union activist in a string of factories, plants and workplaces, a 1980s community organizer in what were then some of the nation's poorest neighborhoods, to organizing and consulting through the 1990s Dixon has built an impressive record of service in and to the cause of human liberation. We speak about this moment in US history with rise of Black Lives matter, the recent police shootings and how to gage the recent election cycle with the unappealing choices of Trump or Clinton.
