On today’s show, guest host Kalonji Jama Changa is in conversation with W. Paul Coates, a former Black Panther Party leader in Baltimore. He established the George Jackson Prison Movement to bring Afrocentric literature to inmates. He is the founder of Black Classic Press, and an advocate for, and practitioner of, solidarity as a form of resistance to systemic oppression. In addition, Paul Coates has organized Black Publishers and Writers Delegations to Havana Cuba for cultural exchange.
Kalonji Jama Changa is an organizer, founder of the FTP Movement, and the co-chair of the Urban Survival and Preparedness Institute and is co-founder of Black Power Media. He is also author of the bestselling book, “How to Build a People’s Army” and co-producer of the documentary “Organizing is the New Cool.”
