In Part 2 of my conversation with Kalonji Jama Changa—founder of the FTP Movement and organizer of the Atlanta Hip Hop compilation Wrath of the Siafu—we unpack the political fallout of the January 6 riots, the dysfunction plaguing American leadership, and the role of art in revolution. Kalonji shares powerful insights on how Hip Hop can serve as both a mirror and a weapon in the struggle for liberation. This episode is a call to consciousness—where culture, community, and resistance collide. Original Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph00DgWWT5A&t=26s

Today marks the 81st Birthday of Freedom Fig hter, Sekou Odinga! Today is also the Anniversary of his marriage and commitment to his wife Dequi. In this short video some of his close comrades, family and friends speak on his life and character. “I was a member of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, a Black Liberation Army soldier. And for 33 years, a US-held political prisoner of war. Most of my adult life has been spent in the struggle for Black self-determination, Black revolutionary politics, and Black liberation. As such, my life speaks to the oft-heard expression: Oppression breeds resistance, and resistance breeds repression.” Video credit: Isaac Castelaz #SekouOdinga #BlackPowerMedia #BlackPowerMediaReloaded Support Black Power Media: https://www.blackpowermedia.org/donate Follow us on twitter: @Blackpowermedi
