Black Agenda Radio · The Struggle for Liberation Amid Celebrity and Popular Culture

We are joined by Kalonji Changa, who is a co-founder of Black Power Media, founder of the FTP Movement, and co-author of the book Beyond Cop Cities: Dismantling State and Corporate-Funded Armies and Prisons. He joins us from Atlanta to discuss the phenomenon of celebrity culture as it pertains to figures such as P. Diddy, while more than one million Black people are incarcerated, including political prisoners serving decades behind bars.
