Interview with Charles Person, Freedom Rider from 1961 - 5.30.20

Charles Person was one of the original Freedom Riders from 1961. At the age of only 18, he rode a public interstate bus into the segregated South with an inter-racial group of young people to challenge the persistent non-enforcement of US Supreme Court decisions which ruled that segregated public buses and other public spaces were unconstitutional. Viciously attacked twice by white Klansmen in Alabama, he put his life on the line to challenge the status quo in an act of nonviolent protest. Learn about his unique experience and his perspective on the current widespread protests against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's killing in Minneapolis.

Interview with David Entin, who worked for USAID during the Vietnam War - 2.4.18

David Entin served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968. But NOT as a soldier. Instead, he worked for USAID (United States Agency for International Development) in the province of Quang Ngai where he had some of the most memorable, paradigm-shifting experiences of his life. He experienced both the beauty of the Vietnamese countryside and the horror of war from the vantage point of a helicopter. He witnessed the hypocrisy of the war on a personal level too as it played out in his workplace role after the Tet Offensive.

Kamil Peters creates highly distinctive metal art work in Holyoke, MA ranging from small intricate masks to massive sculptures of animals and insects, as well as large-scale commercial installations.

For the last day of 2017, I decided to look back at my life and create a solo episode on SEXISM. In particular, I reflect on my own personal experiences from childhood to adulthood. I also talk about how I internalized sexist ideas at a young age and how they formed my views on romance and the nature of "the real man." How can we break free of the sexist head trip of our culture while also remaining a part of it?
