Les Chanteuses Africaines
Broadcasting from the Atlanta-based WFRG station, Alicia Banks hosts her weekly radio program "Les Chanteuses Africaines: The African Female Singers featuring the Musical & Literary Voices of Black Women". In this particular recording, the show at hand is part of a special marathon of gay and lesbian themed programming at WFRG. During the course of the show, Banks addresses the intersecting issues of race, homophobia and the AIDS crisis. She also critically examines contradictions of homophobia within racially oppressed communities, and dissects the notion of the need of a singular construct of closet and coming out. Included are clips of stand-up comedy from Lea Delaria, Whoopi Goldberg and Sam Kinison, There are also songs performed by and are about LGBT people. The songs “B.D. Woman Blues” by Lucille Bogen and “The Prove It To Me Blues” by Ma Rainey remain in good audio quality, while some of the other songs included are of a poorer recording quality.
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Summit
A summit discussing the present and future of the NAACP. Long time members Jack Greenberg (former council director of NAACP legal-education fund) and Michael Meyers (former director of NY civil rights coalition, Assistant director of NAACP) disagree with the new ways in which the organization is being run, while Sharpton and Jackson support the new directions. This heated debate is about the fact that an earlier Baltimore summit had an all-Black council along with Louis Farrakhan, whose political stances are contentious. Meyers and Greenberg argue that the NAACP is on a road to destruction due to Black extremism, separatism, bigotry, and the forgotten sense that all minorities and whites are supposed to come together. Sharpton and Jackson argue that they have the right to have an all-Black summit with all ranges of public opinion just like other minority groups (i.e., Jews, Latinos, Asians, etc.).
