CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 1/19/23

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Slightly-extended movie talk! 

In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched and murdered in Mississippi. TILL (now out on blu-ray/streaming) explores what happened in the years that followed, when his mother, Mamie Till Mobley worked to turn grief into action by fiercely pursuing justice for her son while exposing the racism behind the attack. We sit down with the director/co-writer of TILL, Chinonye Chukwu (CLEMENCY).

From the archive: Director/co-writer Brett Haley centers his lens on a 72-year-old widow and former songstress having an existential crisis when she becomes involved with two very different men and discovers that life can begin anew at any age in the romantic comedy-drama I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS. [from 2015]

Episode 56: Inferior Design

In 2013, five unelected judges gutted the right to vote for tens of millions of African Americans and others. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Shelby v. Holder overturned a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) that prevented voter suppression. That provision—outlined in Section 4(b) of the Act—required state and local governments with a documented history of racism to submit any changes to their electoral laws for pre-approval by a federal agency. A single court case, heard in in a room where no cameras are allowed, stole from millions a landmark protection of the fundamental right to a vote.

When Mexico moved to abolish slavery, Texas seceded in 1836-in a replay of 1776-- in order to perpetuate enslavement of Africans forevermore. Until 1845 Texas was an independent nation and moved to challenge the U.S. for leadership in the odious commerce of the African Slave Trade: Texas also competed vigorously with the U.S. in the dirty business, dispossessing Indigenous peoples and nations of their lands and denuding Mexico by snatching California in the race to the Pacific and domination of the vaunted China market. But Texas could not withstand pressure from abolitionist Mexico and revolutionary Haiti and joined the U.S. as a state-under questionable legal procedures-in 1845. Thereafter Texas' enslaved population increased exponentially along with land grabs targeting Comanches, Caddo and Kiowa-and other Indigenous nations-leading to staggeringly violent bloodshed.

Black troops helped to foil this deviltry but, alas, during the Reconstruction era-1865-1876-these same soldiers were at the tip of the spear as Indigenes were being pounded in West Texas as Black people were being pounded by the Ku Klux Klan in East Texas. Texans were also in the vanguard during the scandalous 6 January 2021 insurrection on Capitol Hill and promises to be in the forefront as a unique U.S. fascism seeks to rise. 

Join us today on American Indian Airwaves to hear Dr. Gerald Horne highlight important excerpts from his book, The Counter Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S Fascism, and how it relates to the international geopolitical forms of settler colonial violence impacting Indigenous peoples, African Americans, and more and the formation and roots of American fascism, plus more. 

Guest: Dr. Gerald Horne is an eminent historian who is Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. An author of more than thirty books and one hundred scholarly articles and reviews, his research has addressed issues of racism in a variety of relations involving labor, politics, civil rights, international relations, war and the film industry.

Jefferson Cowie discusses his book Freedom’s Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power, beginning with the book’s origin story, and then tracing the use of "freedom" to dominate others in Barbour County, Alabama, from Indian Removal in the 1830s through the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s

Freedom's Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power

From the 1800s through the middle of the 2Oth century, federated fraternal orders based in regularly meeting local lodges and supralocal headquarters and conventions allowed Americans of all backgrounds to combine for mutual aid and civic assertion. African Americans were super-organizers and joiners within this fraternal world. Forming federations that spanned states, regions, and often the nation as a whole, Blacks created some orders paralleling major white orders but also large numbers of their own distinctively named orders. Through these orders, they built economic security, worked for social advancement, and pushed back against the social exclusions, cultural insults, and political restrictions of Jim Crow segregation. Women played a much stronger role in African American “fraternalism” than in white variants, and Black orders had an unusually strong focus on community service, while also serving as an organizational sphere where individual male and female leaders could develop and display business and civic talent.

Professor Theda Skocpol presents original research - including membership badges from Black fraternal orders - connecting mutual-aid associations in the South with the Civil Rights movement. This talk includes personal stories of amazing discoveries, along with a larger explanation of why these associations, most of them no longer with us, are an inspiring part of U.S. and African American history that must not be lost.

Hall Xuma was already known for her social welfare work when she married South African physician and ANC activist [and later president of the ANC] Alfred Bitini Xuma. Becoming president of the ANC Women’s League put Hall Xuma at the forefront of fighting racial discrimination as South Africa moved toward apartheid….” https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=25ehx6xh9780252044564

Happy New Year everyone!! We're wishing the best for you in 2024 and we're glad that you chose to stick with us!!

We were pretty scatter-brained this episode, zooming in-and-out of topics concerning cigarette smoking, celebrities and their terrible style choices, black pirates, whether or not we would've survived Jim Crow and battle rap current events. We also have a very important conversation based around Chance the Rapper and his alleged loss of a hard drive that caused him to have to rework his poorly-received album, The Big Day.

Have you ever had your doordash delivery driver come out of pocket? What's your craziest DD experience?

Episode 221: "Jeffin!!!" (feat. Rail G.)

The problem in America is, America's been in denial about its problems. And that’s a problem. 

America doesn’t have a race problem, in reality there's been catastrophes visited upon Black people. Catastrophes visited on Indigenous brothers and sisters. Catastrophes visited on Latino brothers and sisters. Catastrophes visited on working people. Catastrophes visited on women of all colors. We can go on and on. 

This week on Making Contact, we bring you a talk from noted author, scholar, and self-described intellectual freedom fighter, Dr. Cornel West speaking at the Guild Theater in Sacramento, California in 2023. In his discussion, West uses America’s music legacy as a way to explore catastrophic conditions brought on by our denial of the funk, seen through the impacts of racism on the nation’s health.

It can go anywhere from dirty little secrets to Pablo trying to find Shae a man.
