SUMMARY:Rev. Al Sharpton: Rise Up: Confronting a Country at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM with Marcus Books presents: \nReverend Al Sharpton + Greg Bridges \nRise Up: Confronting a Country at a Crossroads \n……………………………………………………………………………………. \n“Reverend Sharpton addresses our nation’s original sin\, explains why we can’t afford to be satisfied with creature comforts while others still suffer\, and offers solutions in the non-violent tradition of my father and others regarding where we go from here.” \n-MARTIN LUTHER KING III \n“Rev. has been about Black Lives Matter from the jump\, also at a time when it was not the most popular or hip thing to be about. I look forward\, standing next to him\, to see\, to witness this new energy\, this new day that is about to be in these United States of America.” -SPIKE LEE \n“This man is a gift from God to the world. This book is a gift from Al Sharpton to us. Let’s appreciate them both.” -MICHAEL ERIC DYSON \nIn what will be his seminal call to action\, RISE UP: Confronting a Country at the Crossroads\, the Reverend Al Sharpton draws on his decades of unique experience as a civil rights leader\, a politician\, and a television and radio host to encourage voters to stand up for what they believe and enact change in their country. \nRev. Al Sharpton is the host of MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” and the founder and President of the National Action Network (NAN)\, one of the leading civil rights organization in the world. With over 40 years of experience as a community leader\, politician\, minister and advocate\, the Rev. Al Sharpton is one of America’s most-renowned civil rights leaders. \nGreg Bridges is a radio dj who can be heard over KCSM and KPFA\, where he has a weekly show and is a contributor to  KPFA’s Hip Hop and social affairs show HardKnock Radio.

SUMMARY:Nikki Giovanni: Make Me Rain
DESCRIPTION:Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM with Marcus Books \nHosted by Nina Serrano \nNikki Giovanni’s poetry has inspired\, enlightened\, and captivated generations of readers. She is cherished by the nation and revered in the African-American community as a potent and affirming siren of culture\, tradition\, and the issues of our time. In MAKE ME RAIN Giovanni is as sharp and outspoken as ever\, bringing profound and timely poems that call attention to injustice and give readers an unfiltered look into the more guarded regions of her heart. \nIn MAKE ME RAIN Giovanni celebrates her loved ones and unapologetically declares her pride in her Black heritage\, while exploring the enduring impact of the twin sins of racism and white nationalism. With this compendium she reaffirms her place as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice with poems such as\, “I Come from Athletes\,” and “Rainy Days\,” which call out segregation and Donald Trump; “Unloved (for Aunt Cleota)\,” and “When I Could No Longer\,” a personal elegy for the relatives who saved her from an abusive childhood home. \nThe poet recently trended on Twitter after thousands logged on to hear her chat virtually with activist Angela Davis.  From the records she released in the 1970’s\, to her devout tribute of a “thug life” tattoo to honor rapper Tupac Shakur\, Giovanni is recognized by younger generations for her insight\, connectedness\, and the comforting familiarity of her voice.  She is the admired elder stateswoman of African American letters\, and final representative of an extraordinary cohort that once included her dear friends\, writers Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. \nWith MAKE ME RAIN\, a beloved American poet challenges us with a powerful and deeply personal collection of verse that speaks to the injustices of society while illuminating the depths of her own heart. Stirring\, provocative\, and poignant\, these poems pierce the heart and nourish the soul. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/nikki-giovanni-make-me-rain-tickets-170040590985

SUMMARY:Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: Not a Nation of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: A KPFA Zoom Event \nNot a Nation of Immigrants: Settler Colonialism\, White Supremacy\, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion \n“Her thought-work and writing are both full-force with courage and wisdom. In the age of telling truth\, she says\, the US has yet to correct its narrative to acknowledge its settler-colonialist and imperialist past and present. This book should be taught in classrooms; readers will finish it changed.” \n-Booklist\, Starred Review \n“Dunbar-Ortiz’s message is clear: uplifting narratives about the United States as a ‘nation of immigrants’ allow the country to hide from its history of colonialism\, genocide\, slavery\, and racism . . . . [T]his thought-provoking account will prove insightful for all.” \n-Library Journal \nMany Americans will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants. In this bold new book\, acclaimed historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz asserts that this self-congratulatory myth is harmful because it masks the US’s history of settler colonialism\, genocide\, white supremacy\, slavery\, and structural inequality\, all of which we still grapple with today. This myth\, she claims\, is a convenient response by the ruling class to the demands for decolonialization\, reparations\, and social justice. This paradigm-shifting new work from the author of An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States insists that we need to stop perpetuating this simplistic and inaccurate ideal and embrace the real history of the United States. \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma\, the daughter of a tenant farmer. Dunbar-Ortiz has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades. She is the author of eight books. \nSteve Wasserman is currently publisher of the award-winning Heyday Books. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/roxanne-dunbar-ortiz-not-a-nation-of-immigrants-tickets-170048201749
