Podcast reading w/ free PDF📚: My People Shall Be Free~An Autobiography of A Revolutionary by Leila Khaled

My People Shall Live~An Autobiography of A Revolutionary:

A profound journey into the heart of Palestinian resistance, through the words of an icon who has lived it. In this distinguished episode of *Echoes of Revolution*, we delve into the autobiography "My People Shall Live~An Autobiography of A Revolutionary" by Leila Khaled, a name synonymous with resilience, defiance, and the relentless quest for freedom.

Leila Khaled's narrative is not just a personal recounting; it's a mosaic of struggle, hope, and the unyielding spirit of a people yearning for their rightful place in the world. Her story, penned with raw honesty and unwavering conviction, brings to light the intricacies of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, seen through the eyes of a woman who became an emblem of revolutionary fervor.

As we navigate through the chapters, our podcast aims to encapsulate the essence of Khaled's journey—from her early years in a Palestine under the shadow of displacement to her evolution into a key figure in the global struggle against oppression. Her acts of defiance, notably as the first woman to hijack an airplane, are not merely recounted as historical events but analyzed for their symbolic significance in the broader narrative of resistance.

Podcast reading w/ free PDF 📚: The Color of Law~A Forgotten History of How the Government Segregated america By Richard Rothstein

The Color of Law~A Forgotten History of How Our Government:

Segregated America by Richard Rothstein Summary of book: In The Color of Law, historian Richard Rothstein notes that every single American city is segregated on racial lines and argues that this segregation is de jure rather than de facto: it is the deliberate product of “systemic and forceful” government action, and so the government has a “constitutional as well as a moral obligation” to remedy it.

Planned and implemented by all levels of American government, residential racial segregation impoverishes and disempowers African Americans by confining them to ghettos and blocking them out of homeownership. And this segregation continues well into the 21st century. Since residential segregation pertains to where and how people live their lives, the issue is harder to undo than injustices like the deprivation of voting rights, public services, and equal legal protection to African Americans. To make matters worse, governments, financial institutions, and the real estate industry continue to actively segregate American cities, to African Americans’ disadvantage.

"In Chapter One, Rothstein illustrates the problem of de jure segregation with the representative story of Frank Stevenson, an African American man living in Richmond, California in the mid-20th century. A former manufacturing town, Richmond grew rapidly during World War II. To keep up with demand, the government built public housing—for white people, it built a comfortable suburb called Rollingwood, but black working families were crowded into “poorly constructed” apartments in industrial neighborhoods, or even left to live on the street. Stevenson worked at a Ford Motor factory, which was soon relocated an hour away to Milpitas after the war. Stevenson was out of luck, because it was impossible for black people to live in Milpitas: Federal Housing Administration (FHA) funds were only allocated to all-white neighborhoods, so while housing options multiplied for white people in places like Milpitas, nobody built housing for African Americans. African Americans were thus confined to certain neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods consequently became entirely African American over time. The government subsequently withdrew services from those black neighborhoods, turning them into the “slum[s]” that they remain today."

as we discuss the circumstances that can lead to acts of protest such as self-immolation, let us not forget that many gazans (such as ehab abu nada and fathi harb) in years past have also self immolated in protest of the israeli blockade on gaza. this has also been a form of protest among palestinians in the occupied west bank as well.

What do we write?

"In traditional African society everyday was a worker. There was no other way of earning a living for the community. Even the Elder, who appeared to be enjoying himself without doing any work and for whom everybody else appeared to be working, had in fact, worked all his younger days.

The wealth he now appeared to possess was not his, personally; it was only 'his' as the Elder of the group which had produced it. He was it's guardian. The wealth itself gave him neither power nor prestige.

The respect paid to him by the young was his because he was older than they, and served the community longer; and the 'poor' Elder enjoyed as much respect in our society as the 'rich' Elder."

-Julius Nyerere

On this day in 1999, the great socialist, Pan-Africanist and first president of Tanzania became an ancestor. Often referred to as ' Mwalimu ' meaning teacher in Swahili, Julius Nyerere was a true son of Africa.​​​​​​​​

We pay homage to him by continuing the struggle to achieve Pan-Africanism.​​​​​​​​

Long live his revolutionary spirit!​​​​​​​​

Long live the African revolution!​​​​​​​​
