Darryl Clark Progressive News Weekly

(Thursday 1-16-14, 6:30 PM - 7:45 PM, EST) on Blogtalk Radio   In light of the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday and the recent passing of Amiri Baraka (Author, Playwright, poet, civil rights activist, humanitarian), PNW pays a special tribute to community activism.  We will be joined by several noted activists including Lawrence Hamm (president of Peoples Organization for Progress - POP), Dr. Akil Khalfani  (Author, Professor Essex County College, community activist), and president (Roy Sutherland) of a local chapter of Frontiers International (one of the oldest Black founded community service organizations in America).  The discussion will center on what Amiri Baraka stood for, his influence, and what can be done for improved civil rights going forward.  Don't miss this enlightening, inspiring, and relevant discussion, especially if you are a teacher or have influence on children.  As always your input is encouraged.
