Black Liberation Theology


Since it's been in the news due to the fighting between the democratic candidates, there was an interview today on NPR w/ the man who actually started BLT. Up until today, I had my reservations about 'what I thought' BLT probably meant, and was pleasantly surprised by what I heard by Rev. James Cone. Terry Gross interviewed another man immediately after Cone, and I appreciated some of his education about the different realities of the black church. He even named 5 popular black preachers who preach a success driven gospel, and are often mis-representing the black church as a whole (that is how I understood what he said). If you have about 13 minutes, give a listen.

"Pregnant in America" Video Trailer

Another great resource for looking into the issues regarding childbirth in the US hospital system. I'm hoping to get this full video and have a showing here in KC. I'm very much looking forward to it's release.

Enjoy.

a little boycotting, anyone?


I think that I'm going to boycott the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Not that it's any new news for me [regarding China's complete disregard for human rights], but I just read some more news out of the March 24 Time Magazine.
Here's a link to a google search for Boycotting the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Happy Protesting!
