Old Time Radio - Jubilee - 2-8-2012
Wed. Feb. 8, 2012
Before Television my family would watch the radio shows. Yes I said watch, we used our imagination. When TV came I missed the radio shows because the imagination was better than what was shown on TV.
I hope you enjoy the shows like I did. Let your mind free to see what is on the show. You can see more with your mind than with your eyes.
Presented by the War Department, Jubilee was broadcast to American fighting men and women overseas and featured a mostly Black cast, including appearances by Louie Armstrong, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Nat King Cole, and Heavyweight champion Joe Louis.

Touré, writer, cultural critic, and TV personality discusses his newest book Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness: What it Means to be Black Now, which draws on interviews with over 100 prominent African-Americans from art to politics to journalism to academia - as well as his own thoughts and experiences.
Here he reflects on his experience growing up in the Boston area in the turbulent 1970's, and his time in college in Atlanta, providing a springboard for analysis of phenomena such as stereotype threat, micro-aggressions, resume checking, and the white and black gaze.

Callie House - My Face is Black is True
Sun. Feb. 5, 2012
September 14, 2005
Mary Frances Berry professor, American social thought, UPenn [homepage]
Mary Francis Berry reclaims Callie House, a magnificent heroine who, though so long forgotten that the site of her grave is unknown, emerges as a pioneering activist: a female forerunner of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
Born in to slavery in 1861, Callie House started the Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and Pension Association, which sought African American pensions based on those offered Union soldiers, a movement so powerful it frightened the US government, upset Jim Crow legislatures across the South, and gave hope to hundreds of thousands of destitute former slaves.
Co-sponsored by the Museum of Afro American History and the Center for New Words.
Presented by WGBH and Center for New Words.
