Alternative Radio Has A Program You Need To Hear On Black History, The Black Panther Party, Immigration & Radical Possibilities

"I’m really interested in analyses that go beyond the limitations of the nation state. We tend to think about the nation as the human community that expresses our need to be together with other human beings. But the nation state is a historical invention. Why does it have to be that way? Why do we always have to think about citizenship within the confines of the nation? I would also suggest that we think about movements that allow us to move beyond the assumption that our projects have to be contained within the nation.” – Angela Davis, From Beginnings: Movements of Possibility.

Dear AR Listener,

Ever thoughtful Angela Davis is featured on the next edition of Alternative Radio.
Don’t forget to tune in. Also, below find links to our February broadcasts, along with

to U.S. immigration policy, we compiled an “Immigration Education 6-pack” that will
contextualize this international issue.
