Black Agenda Radio

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford. Coming up: Black people in Britain go to prison at roughly the same rate as African Americans, and British activists are also demanding prison and police abolition. Dr. Gerald Horne says the United States is finding out that it’s no longer a uni-polar world, with Washington in command of everybody else. And, we’ll hear two essays from prisoners of the American Mass Black Incarceration Regime. But first -- SAHM-ah Mcgona SEE-say is a Justice Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights, and an organizer with the group called “Survived and Punished.” Police claim they are the force that fights for the rights of victims. But in fact, says SEE- say, the police, prosecutors and prisons only create more victims. She explains. Many Americans are unaware that Black people in Great Britain have a long history of urban rebellions against racist policing.
