Wanda's Picks Radio Show: Herman Wallace: Presente!

Andrew Dosunmu, director, joins us to talk about his latest film, Mother of George. We then shift slightly to speak to Idris Akamoor and Kenneth Nash, "Music is the Healing Force" Bay Area Community Orchestra performances this weekend. Artists participating in SomARTs Dia de Los Muertos join us to speak about this year's exhibition opening tonight. We close with a rebroadcast of an interview with Robert H. King and Marina Drummer about Herman Wallace, who made his transition last week after being exonerated. Known at the Angola 3, King, Wallace and Albert Woodfox were targeted by Lousiana prison officials for their membership in the Black Panther Party. Wallace spent 42 years in solitary confinement. Woodfox continues to have his case overturned and then challenged in court by the State Attorney General. Wallace's funeral in New Orleans is Saturday, October 12. His birthday is Sunday, October 13.
