* Be on the lookout for a “Free Sylvia Baraldini” film showing, a date is going to be set for later this month. Sylvia alongside Marilyn Buck and others helped to liberate Assata Shakur, in 1979, from prison in New York. Come learn her story.
*And also don’t forget to protest this Thursday at 4:30pm, rain or shine, in defense of Hard Knock Radio, Flash Points, and The First Voice Apprenticeship Program. The KPFA management has recently made moves to indicate that these three locally produced shows are in jeopardy of being canceled. Michael Eric Dyson is set to replace Hard Knock Radio, and Al Jazeera may replace Flash Points. All three shows have had personnel laid off in the last 3 months also. Be there, if you think local access to KPFA is important.
The Black Dot is located at 1195 Pine St. in W. Oakland.
All events are free. Be on time because the events seem to fill up quick.
Is it me or does it seem that ever media is going to nationwide syndication as oppose to local shows? Is there a reason for this? The local television news media is recycling clips from other news media with there little commentary and local radio stations are switching from locally known syndication to nationally known syndication. Why?
