'Black Power Mixtape' is a time capsule of history

'Black Power Mixtape' is a time capsule of history:

One of the most powerful chapters in the film The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, involves a jailhouse interview with activist Angela Davis. In her full-blown afro and 1970s-style she's visibly frustrated as she tells a Swedish television interviewer why some black people had chosen to take up arms in the face of police harassment and racism. In her own words she explains how her family was terrorized by bombings in the south. It's a strong, stirring moment brought to us in living color, and one of the things that makes Black Power Mixtape an important movie about, not only black history, but world history. The film has already appeared at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It's a documentary that pulls together footage shot by a Swedish television crew investigating U.S. black culture and the Civil Rights movement between 1967 and 1975.The original television footage used to make the piece was found by chance by filmmaker Goran Hugo Olsson. Commentary by hip-hop stars and black intellectuals help tie the storyline together. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR 'THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE' HERE

4 face hate crime trial for Calif. cross burning

4 face hate crime trial for Calif. cross burning: SAN LUIS OBISPO, California (AP) -- Four people have been ordered to stand trial on charges they torched an 11-foot (3.4-meter) cross outside the California home of a black teenager. A judge ruled Monday there was enough evidence to try three men and one woman in connection with the crime. The defendants are white and Hispanic and are to be arraigned Sept. 28 on arson, conspiracy and hate crime charges. The San Luis Obispo County Tribune (http://bit.ly/rdYD4a ) reports the cross was set ablaze on March 18 in a lot behind the house where a black family lived. Cross burning is widely associated with the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan which practiced it as a form of intimidation. Defense attorneys argue there's no evidence the defendants knew a black person lived there

Miss Me" Miss me,

but let me go When I come to the

end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in

a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little -

but not too long And not with your

head bowed low Remember the love that

we once shared Miss me - but let me go For this is a journey

that we must all take And each must go alone It's all a part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home When you are lonely,

and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in

doing good deeds Miss me - but let me go ~Author Unknown~
