WBAI STATE OF EMERGENCY:
The push to remove Africans from the top
Who: WBAI Black Caucus
When: Saturday, 7/10/04, 4:00 pm
Where: Riverside Church, 91 Claremont Street at 120th Street, Harlem
Is the attack by members of the station’s local board a matter of individual quirkiness or the enactment of a plan to remove Africans from the management and the air at listener-sponsored WBAI? What about the other “progressives” on the board who silently observe the process?
With a decreasing number of outlets for discussion and reporting on the work of grassroots struggles against bad schools, gentrification and neighborhood displacement, heath risks and environmental racism, fewer jobs and more prisons, what needs to be done to preserve WBAI as a tool of liberation?
Join us for an examination of the role of media and in particular, of radio – the most accessible and portable form of communication.
