THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE
THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE (1967-1975)
mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish filmmakers,
after languishing in a basement of a TV station for 30 years,
into an irresistible mosaic of images, music, and narration chronicling
the evolution one of our nation's most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement.
Featuring candid interviews with the movement's most explosive revolutionary minds,
including Angela Davis, Bobby Seale, Stokely Carmichael, and Kathleen Cleaver,
the film explores the community, people and radical ideas of the movement.
Music by Questlove and Om'Mas Keith, and commentary from and modern voices
including Erykah Badu, Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli,
and Melvin Van Peebles give the historical footage a fresh sound and make
THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE 1967-75 an exhilarating, unprecedented account of an American revolution.
OCCUPY VIOLENCE
NYC MAYOR BLOOMBERG HAS ASKED ALL NEWSPAPERS TO REFRAIN FROM PUBLICIZING ANYTHING ABOUT THE INJURIES IN THE PARK TILL HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER AND SENT HIS DETECTIVES TO THE PAPERS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS PRINTED.
IN ADDITION 9 NEWS REPORTERS ARE UNDER ARREST FOR VIOLATING THEIR PRESS CREDENTIALS WHICH HE CAN DO UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT.
THIS IS THE LEGACY WE INHERITED FROM BUSH AND CHENEY AFTER 911.
DO NOT ACCEPT THIS... FIGHT BACK.
