Education is
our most powerful weapon
for Liberation.
Join me as I guest host on WURD-900 a.m., “Black Talk
Radio,” Friday, August 1st, 4 pm – 7 pm. http://900amwurd.com.
We’ll be broadcasting
live from the Black Star Film Festival in Philadelphia .
Our topic of discussion is “Independent film making and the impact of telling
our own stories.” Call in to offer your point of view: 866-361-0900 or
215-634-8065.
Education is key for the liberation of our minds and
ultimate triumph over oppression. However education reaches far beyond the
classroom, with its traditional books and methods. Mass communication plays a
major role in enlightenment. Formats span a variety of mediums, including
broadcast, print, and of course the Internet. The impressive array of talent
represented in the Black Star Film Festival hearkens back to a great tradition
in Black film making and photography that includes innovators such as Oscar
Micheaux, Gordon Parks , and Melvin Van Peebles. So listen
up!
