I'm still here... and over there too

I'm outside of NYC right now, but been running around and getting work done. In the meantime check out this brief interview on DailyKos. The interview was done virtually with David Boyle who has developed a the site called Obamaism.org. Check it out and leave a comment.

Tune in at 9...

Tonight, Monday July 21st, I'll be featured as a panelist on Lynn Doyle's It's your call. We'll be continuing the conversation about Jesse Jackson, Black political leadership, and the controversies surrounding both. The show airs regionally on Comcast's Cn8 or can be streamed live from here if you're outside one of the designated regions. We'll be taping live and it has a call-in format, so drop us a line.

Tune in Sunday to Keep Hope Alive Radio

Sunday morning I will be appearing on Jesse Jackson's radio show Keep Hope Alive Radio which is syndicated nationally. This week Marc Lamont Hill will be filling in for Rev. Jackson. We will be discussing Civil Rights leadership and contemporary politics. Find out where and when you can hear the show locally here. Tune in and give us your perspective.

And yes I know this is some late notice...

UPDATE: The show is now available online here!!! After Sunday it will be available in the Audio Archive.

Harlem Blues and the Barack Buzz

This week I had a chance to do an interview with Newsweek.com regarding the significance of Barack Obama's campaign and Harlem. The short video entitled, "Martin, Malcolm, Barack?" features me and multiple Harlem artists. Click here to check it out.

Like all journalism, whether print or multimedia, I always find myself wondering how things become whittled down. We really discussed a great deal in the interview which was about a half an hour. We discussed current day Harlem, its history, Black politics, Black leadership, really the whole gamut. But even with the editing, I think the piece was successful. Check it out.

Update: For some reason this video seems to be very difficult to maintain a link to. I've changed the url a couple of times and as of 1m on June 26th this link is active. I hope the video doesn't disappear from cyberspace! And shout out to UptownFlavor.com where I pulled the link from!

Been around the world and I, I, I...

So I was traveling this past week and didn't get a chance to hit you with anything new. But now I'm back in the States and I wanted to quickly to tell you to check out the Addicted to Race podcast that I guest co-hosted with Carmen Van Kerchove. In continuing with the theme of world travel, the podcast features a variety of subjects from media coverage of Mynamar, the MLK monument in DC, to Hip-Hop and accountability. As always, I had a great time cutting it up with Carmen, one of the sharpest cats out there on Race and Pop culture!

And on a side, but related note to my traveling, I'll be taking some time to reorganize my stuff over the next while, so posts may be slow.

Talk at Pomona College

If you're in the Los Angeles area or particularly at Pomona College I'll be doing a talk there on Thursday at noon. The flier is below, I look forward to checking out the sagehens.
