Today marks the 54th anniversary of the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. KHOI is pleased to present a special broadcast, courtesy of Pacifica Radio Archives , today at 4pm. First, we'll hear King's "Domestic Urgencies vs. Military Costs" speech from February of 1967, followed by his talk on "The Civil Rights Movement and Its Goals for the Future" from April of that same year. Finally, we'll hear a Memorium held in Central Park the day after his assassination, featuring Ossie Davis, Pete Seeger and others. Please join us.
Tune in to KHOI today at 4pm as we present, courtesy of the Pacifica Radio Archives, a radio drama from KPFK-Los Angeles host Julio Martinez and the Arts in Review Repertory Players, Keeping Christmas Well, a story about the origins of A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.
But before we get to Ebenezer Scrooge and the Cratchit family, we'll hear a 1988 WBAI-New York radio drama production of Grace Paley's The Loudest Voice, about a Jewish girl in 1930's New York who, because of her clear, loud voice and expressive reading, is chosen to narrate her school's Christmas play.
Today at 4pm, in recognition of Native American Heritage Month, we bring you a special program from Pacifica Radio Archives.
Pacifica Radio intimately documented the Occupation of Alcatraz from November 20 1969 to June 11, 1971, presenting a detailed account of the Native American struggle to bring awareness to the repeated treaty violations by the United States.
Activist John Trudell became the voice of the occupation through Radio Free Alcatraz, a news broadcast from Alcatraz that was eventually broadcast daily on KPFA in Berkeley, CA, and out across the network.
In this restored recording, John Trudell moderates a panel of Indians from various tribes to discuss the occupation. (This was Pacifica's first-ever network-wide national broadcast.)
The NEWEST episode of the "Presenting the Past" podcast features guest Shirley Sneve—Vice President of Broadcasting for Indian Country Today—and her reflections on the history of #NativeAmerican public broadcasting! →

The interview from the Atlanta Pacifica Affiliate is long but it includes some good descriptions. I think that they want to disenfranchise the paid staff (and the unpaid) because they make the stations run and they know the real dirt. Prices and ploys would make it harder for the poor and oppressed to become members/voters. Elected Board members would become severely limited, and hand-picked At-Large members would have a lock on the boards.
“14. ED may dispense with hired outside election contractors and order board secretary, who can be at-large director or hired employee, to act as election supervisor.
17. All vacancies filled by board. If an elected station director resigns, their successor will be picked by the board w…
20. Board secretary authorized as an outside hired employee.
22. Vice-Chair, Secretary, CFO and Treasurer can all be the same person.
24. CFO is supervised by the ED.
25. General managers and program directors, as well as other staff, are removed from indemnification from lawsuits filed against them in the context of performing their work.
29. Removes description of conflict of interest criteria from the bylaws.”
