Black History: What's Haunting YOU?
As it is Halloween, our theme is ? What's Haunting YOU?
What's with all the Black programming on UK TV since the killing of George Floyd? I have some serious questions about this.
It's Black History Month/African Heritage Month in the UK.
We are also discussing issues from the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence, especially blogs that have been read aloud. Please join us if you can.
If you have not had a chance to listen to the readings, go here to listen to them.
I also spoke with Ken Fero, filmmaker whose film, Injustice, the police tried to ban back in 2001. Now, in 2020, these issues still haunt us. Go here to listen to this converation.
Ceri Buckmaster read from her blog post, "A Letter on the Anniversary of the Shooting of Cherry Groce". Cherry Groce's shooting has parallels with the killing of Breonna Taylor earlier this year.
How do you feel about these issues? What is your response to the readings?
Carla Cherrry read her very powerful poem, "For the Lovers". And Zelda Speaks and I read several blog posts.

Check out She Wanted to Become a Nurse, a new poem by Carla M. Cherry.
Carla was one of the readers in the Readings from the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence event. We talked about the similarities between the killing of Breonna Taylor and the shooting of Cherry Groce.
