Steal This Radio #15
Mitchel Cohen interviews Ashanti Alston, former political prisoner and member of the Black Panther Party, and currently co-chair of the Jericho movement to free political prisoners in the United States: http://www.thejerichomovement.com
Ashanti -- one of the few self-described anarchists among the Black Liberation Movement -- takes us behind the scenes of a number of activities in which he personally participated. Along the way, he broadens the values of the movement to include animal rights, healthy foods, and a deepened commitment to work with young people to support their work today as well as to connect them to older generations of radical activists.
Ashanti doesn't pull his punches, whether against the State or concerning the misleadership of segments of the Movement, which makes his views compelling listening.
You can email Ashanti directly (speaking engagements, interviews, etc.) at AnarchistPanther at runbox.com .
This is Part One of a two-part in-studio interview.
