Black Journal: Angela Davis and the Soledad Brothers (1971) Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 48 Views • 5 years ago

Discussing whether blacks can receive true justice in American courts, prisons, or in post-prison life, this special Black Journal episode examines America's judicial system from a black perspective. Entitled, Justice? the presentation will include five segments: 1. The Courts: Legal experts examine the difficulties blacks face in American courts the virtual impossibility of receiving trial by pears; the systems tremendous backlog of cases; lack of money for competent legal assistance; and pressures to accept lesser pleas, among other problems. 2. Prison: In exclusive interviews conducted within the San Quentin and Soledad Prison in California, prisoners talk candidly about their lives in prison the dehumanizing conditions and racial pressures; their reasons for being there often poverty or lack of competent legal assistance; prisons failure to rehabilitate and adequately prepare prisoners for post-prison life; and the problem they face upon release which virtually ensure failure to establish normal, productive lives. 3. Angela Davis: At UCLA, where Angela Davis was ousted as a philosophy instructor, her lawyer, friends and professional associates discuss the events which led to her arrest and her current trial. Miss Davis is charged with murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy to smuggle weapons into the San Rafael (California) Courthouse last August 7 in an alleged attempt to free three black prisoners. The prisoners, known as the Soledad Brothers, were indicted for allegedly killing a prison guard. Miss Davis, now held incommunicado in the Marin County jail in California, appears in film segments made while she was at UCLA. 4. The Jackson Family: Mrs. Lester Jackson, mother of George Jackson, one of the Soledad Brothers and of Jonathan Jackson, who was killed in the alleged prisoner escape attempt, is interviewed along with other relatives, friends, and members of the Soledad Brothers Defense Committee. 5. Soledad Brothers: Lawyers defending the three Soledad Brothers George Jackson, Fiesta Durango and John Clutchette discusses the murder charge and tell why they consider the Soledad Brothers to be political prisoners.

The Syliphone Years
Au lendemain de la décolonisation de la Guinée, le nouveau président Sékou Touré s'affirme comme le promoteur d'une réhabilitation de l'authenticité africaine face au déni colonial des cultures colonisées. Dans une perspective d'unité nationale et panafricaine, les artistes obtiennent le statut de fonctionnaire d'état et sont encouragés par le gouvernement à composer et écrire de nouvelles chansons dans un style plus moderne, tout en puisant dans le répertoire des récits historiques et des musiques ancestrales de l'aire Mandingue. Le fer de lance de cette politique n'était autre qu'un label d'état, le label Syliphone, dont les enregistrements sont de formidables témoignages du dynamisme et des richesses culturelles d'un peuple à l'aube de son indépendance qui porte au monde la voix de sa révolution.

► Sory Kandia Kouyaté
Le chanteur guinéen est sans aucun doute celui qui aura permis à la musique mandingue de toucher les coeurs, au-delà des cultures. Fils, petit-fils et arrière-petit-fils de djéli, Sory Kandia a appris les arts du verbe et du ngoni, luth traditionnel. Il a aussi appris tous les contes et légendes, tous les mythes fondateurs des royaumes du Mandé, de Soundiata Keïta l’empereur infirme, à Sadio, la fille à l’hippopotame.
Son prestige, cependant, il l’a tiré de l’outil dont il se sert le mieux : sa voix. Claire, forte, parfaitement maîtrisée. Et aussi de sa capacité à moderniser les chants anciens.
Conteur privilégié du parti de l’indépendance, il se voit confier directement par le président Sékou Touré la direction de l’Ensemble instrumental et choral de la ’’Voix de la Révolution’’ créé le 4 janvier 1961. La mission de l’Ensemble est claire : composer, adapter, orchestrer et interpréter les airs populaires, pour que demeure en mémoire l’histoire de la patrie. L’expérience apparait comme un véritable laboratoire de la musique traditionnelle africaine et Sory Kandia devient la ’’Voix de l’Afrique’’ avant Miriam Makéba !
Sur cet opus de 2 CD, nous présentons deux facettes de sa musique, la contemporaine et la traditionnelle pour expliquer pourquoi aujourd’hui, près de quarante ans après sa mort, il reste un artiste aimé et respecté.

J. Richard Gott's book "The Cosmic Web: Mysterious Architecture of the Universe" is available for purchase now - https://geni.us/EtIx

J Richard Gott was among the first cosmologists to propose that the structure of our Universe is like a sponge made up of clusters of galaxies intricately connected by filaments of galaxies – a magnificent structure now called the 'cosmic web'. In this talk he shows how ambitious telescope surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are transforming our understanding of the cosmos, and how the cosmic web holds vital clues to the origins of the universe and the next trillion years that lie ahead.

J Richard Gott is Emeritus Professor of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University and is noted for his contributions to cosmology and general relativity.
