“This Fourth of July is yours, not mine,” ⬇️

Douglass declared to his Rochester audience.

“You may rejoice, I must mourn.”

The speech was a turning point in abolitionist rhetoric, for sure.

And since delivering the address almost 200 years ago, Douglass’ words still ring with chilling relevance.

In the age of the prison industrial complex, and especially as we see the expansion of the PIC's immigrant detention arm, his questions remain disturbingly timely.

This weekend, Americans celebrate freedom and independence, as an increasingly openly fascist state opts to trade constitutional rights for jail time.

Douglass' speech invites us not only to reflect, but to interrogate who's still excluded from the promises of democracy and how we can fight to expand those freedoms.

When we take a page from his speech, we're reminded that

true freedom--true patriotism--lies in the unwavering demand for justice,

not in mere celebrations on government holidays.

Absolute giants of the culture, these two ⬇️

Today, we’re proud to bring you “The Poetic Genius of Sekou Sundiata and the Musical Innovation of Sly Stone”-- a full day of programming, from 9am to 7pm, that’s guaranteed to bring you the medicine you did know you needed in these trying times.

Make sure you're tuning in right now 📻, because the coverage has been amazing.

For the uninitiated, Sekou Sundiata was a truth-teller with a jazz musician’s ear and a revolutionary’s heart. He infused spoken word with the rhythms of jazz, blues, and the sincerity of gospel.

His pieces on democracy, diaspora, and everyday survival are still as relevant as they are urgent today, especially in a media context devoid of transparency and authenticity.

Sly Stone, the funk visionary behind Sly and the Family Stone, rearranged American music to create something radical and refreshing.

With a multiracial, genre-bending band and a catalog that ranged from joyful anthems to raw social critique, Sly pushed us to imagine a freer, funkier world in the midst of Cold War tensions.
Tune in today from 9am to 7pm EST on 89.3 FM or WPFWFM.org

Text WPFWFM to 801801 to stay supporting independent, culture-rooted media.

Genius like this needs a home. And you’re the reason we can keep broadcasting it.

As one of our followers pointed out yesterday,

the uncanny alignment between the lives of Medgar Evers and Patrice Lumumba reveals a deeper truth about the interconnectedness of Black struggle across cultures and continents.

Even though they were separated by geography, language, and colonizers, these brothers were unified by a shared drive to confront the white supremacist violence that harmed their people so much,

and to realize for their people the right to dignity and self-determination.

Both were born into violently unequal systems, both rose to national prominence by organizing their people against these systems, both were gifted orators whose voices carried messages of liberation,

and both were assassinated at the peak of their influence, cut down by agents of the state.

Their parallel paths teach us a powerful lesson about the global nature of anti-Blackness and the necessity of transnational solidarity.

It was true 100 years ago, and its that much more true today.

Evers and Lumumba remind us that the same systems of imperialism, racial capitalism, and state violence, mutate and manifest differently across the globe,

but are rooted in shared ideologies of European domination.

The thing is, today our capacities to connect, to really see each other across struggles and geographies, is unlike anything the world has ever seen.

The alignment of their lives challenges us to build bridges,

and we have an unprecedented capacity today to bridge the gap between Mississippi and Congo,

to form meaningful bonds of solidarity across countless causes.

Liberation is a human project,

and it's ongoing.
