Today we will hear about the US Military experience and the US Veteran experience from the African American perspective. Michael McPhearson former Executive Director of Veterans for Peace, Miles Thomas rapper (Megaciph), and Ronda Shelton member of the Hector Black Chapter of Veterans for Peace join the show to share their experience in the military and after. They weigh in on race, betrayal, corruption, wearing the uniform, and the police in this hard-hitting interview. We finish with a song with one of Miles' songs.

2.16.23 Veterans for Peace Talk Military Service from the African American Perspective

Veterans for Peace is moving in our resistance to trump, nuclear armament, the military-industrial complex, injustice, and more as we are led and inspired by these three leaders.  We have clips.  First, from Gerry Condon, as he spoke and represented Veterans for Peace at a Green Party Webinar.  Then Josh Shurley, Vice President of VFP, talks about action to steer the public away from neo-liberal chaos that got us into this mess.  Then our new Executive Director, Michael McPhearson, is back, and he provides a vision for how VFP can move forward in these challenging times using his experience as a marginalized person, because Veterans are now part of the marginalized (along with so many others).   Harvey then relates all of this to the new movie "Sinners" as we finish up with a song from the movie.
