Preeminent interviewer Walter Turner of the KPFA program Africa Today interviews  Dr. Peniel E. Joseph (Professor of History at Tufts University) on the December, 29, 2014 program to discuss Joseph’s book “ Stokely, A Life”

Don’t miss this very enlightening interview. I know you’re going to want to know more after you hear these icons of contemporary African life discussing Stokely Carmichael, one of Africa’s most influential sons of Black Activism. I hope you younger people, who are not familiar with the period of activism from the 1960’s through the 1980’s will follow the threads pointed out, in this interview.

The Montgomery Bus Strike Ended December 20, 1956

When Rosa Parks refused on the afternoon of Dec. 1, 1955, to give up her bus seat so that a white man could sit, it is unlikely that she fully realized the forces she had set into motion and the controversy that would soon swirl around her.

Civil Rights Power Organizer - Ella Baker

Ella Josephine Baker (December 13, 1903 – December 13, 1986)
To remember Ella Baker at this time is paramount.  She was one of the foremost organizers in the movement to proclaim the civil rights of African American people in her era. To acknowledge her superb effort, is to offer her techniques, insights and successes as a model for present and future mass organizers to study and emulate.

“The stuggle is eternal. The tribe increase. Somebody else carries on.”
Ella Baker
