Vaya Con Muñoz 7.29.17

In Vaya Con Muñoz

Filmmaker Larry Hott reviews “Oklahoma City,” about the white supremacy movement that was reactivated in the 1990s. Trailer here: youtube.com/watch?v=bcJ7P-nxQGo
Dr. Shirley Jackson Whitaker took it upon herself to mourn all the African Americans who were lynched in the United States with a homegoing that she has presented twice so far, most recently at St. John’s Congregational Chycrh in Springfield. “Ashes to Ashes” are the final words in typical African American funeral services. Many of those who were murdered by the Klan to maintain the reign of white supremacy never received their “Ashes to Ashes.” The goal of this project is to acknowledge and mourn the African Americans who were racially terrorized during the Jim Crow era after the Civil War and until this very day. Some endured lynching and other forms of brutalization and, therefore, they never received a proper burial. More about Dr. Whitaker’s work here: ShirleyWhitaker.com
La ponceña Lillian Torres y yo hablamos de todo un poco sobre la política en Puerto Rico, y en EEUU.
We are sung out by the Gypsy King, “Tu Quieres Volver.”
