This edition of driving slowly.. is mixed by Djane Austen from southern Germany.
The following lines aren't a typical bio, but her devotement. Stay strong!

"I want to dedicate this mix to the people who are protesting against the blatant injustice, in the US and worldwide. I hope to send out some energy for fighting police brutality and racism.

On that note I want to highlight two inspiring Black women, who also became part of this mix:

The first song is from the American folk singer Vera Hall (1902-1964), singing “Another Man Done Gone” in 1940. Repression of African Americans didn’t stop at the end of the Civil War, and prisons and chain gangs were full of black people arrested for minor violations. This song, “Another Man Done Gone”, tells of the death of a black man on one of those chain gangs.

The speech at the end of this set is from Angela Davis, who is an American political activist and philosopher speaking about revolution after the events of the LA riots in 1992.

In tribute to all the souls lost to racism."
