Wanda's Picks Radio Show

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 

1. Omowale Fowles, Ph.D. candidate joins us to talk about what we can do to reclaim our political agency today during election season. Remember to register to vote. The deadline is Monday, Oct. 22. 

Monday, Oct. 22 is also the 52nd Anniversary of the BPP for Self-Defense. The plan was to play an archived interview with Stanley Nelson, director, Black Panther Party: Vanguard of the Revolution (2015). Also on that show is Emory Douglas, Ericka Huggins. Didn't happen. We'll try again on Monday, Oct. 22 (smile). 

We close instead with an archived interview with Iya Colia Lafayette Clark, Pan Africanist, Civil Rights Veteran, Politician.
