Episode #6- Non-Racism vs Anti Racism: Good Friday, Jesus & Stephon Clark

I know we all heard it... but what is it we were hearing in the budget debate? We invited some #DirtFriends favs to the studio to talk about it. Using clips from actual budget discussions, the panel took the opportunity to talk about the power dynamics and history as some context that can help us filter through what is argument supported by fact-based evidence.... and what isn't.

Veteran activist Art Burton On The Recent Protests

SOURCE AND STRIPES FOREVER! On the patriotic July 3rd edition of Open Source RVA, heard at noon on WRIR 97.3 FM, we have a lively conversation with Richmond City Councilman Michael Jones. As racial justice protests continue across the city, the 9th District rep is co-sponsoring legislation that would ban the use of tear gas and rubber bullets by Richmond police. He also talks about the fall of Stonewall Jackson and the impending dismantlement of the other Confederate statues on city land. We also speak with 6th District City Council Candidate Allan-Charles Chipman about his quest to unseat longtime incumbent Ellen Robertson. He discusses Mayor Levar Stoney's performance during the protests and pandemic, and the special challenges faced by the city's sprawling sixth district. ALSO we feature a new segment of Curtain Call, courtesy of the Richmond Theatre Critics Circle. This week, Jerry Williams talks with producing artistic director Joel Bassin from Firehouse Theatre about "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the first live theatre production in the region -- maybe the country -- to be staged during the pandemic. Julinda D. Lewis joins Jerry to dissect the show, a one-man adaptation starring Billy-Christopher Maupin. A SOURCE TO REMEMBER!
