April 21, 2020 we released our first podcast to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of a State of Emergency in response to the Black Power Movement. Today as always we reflect on the role of the artist in documenting the stories that don’t always make it to history books or classrooms or mainstream media. We salute the poets, calypsonians, painters of the 1970s who gave us so much to think about. Anybody you haven’t listened to it yet, hop across to Mixcloud (link in stories) and hit play on the Wajang Diskotheque Black Power Hour.
