Fire(works?): Soundscape for #NotMyHoliday

WKCR-FM · Black Siren Radio (7/6/20)

As we roll into the somber ass month of July and our Juneteenth celebrations return solely to our Black Twitter feeds, we grapple with the re-politicking of “Independence Day” and watch as he-who-you-know-need-not-be-named, raises a Black Power fist and poses in front of Mt. Rushmore -- the site of ongoing demonstrations by Indigenous peoples who call for repatriation of their inherited lands. Khadijah, Amiri and Maurice discuss the fever of a nation in performance (Kanye) to the unending firework soundscape. We aurally thumb through Meditations in Mayhem, Kimberly speaks on her protest teach-ins and perspectives about Occupy City Hall. Activist and designer, Bones comes through in prologue to the upcoming Emerging Artist episode airing July 20. Did you buy Black this week?
