KCSM radio’s own Sonny Buxton has been selected by the Jazz Journalists Association to receive the 2013 Jazz Hero Award for his contributions and dedication to broadcasting. Buxton, along with 25 other musicians and educators from the United States and Canada will be honored May 5 at the Jazz Heritage Center in San Francisco. Initially, Buxton never considered a future in radio or television as a career. In the early 1950s, he landed an internship in Los Angeles at a small radio station.
Soon after, as a member of the U.S. Air Force, he became a disc jockey for the Armed Forces Radio while stationed in Tokyo in 1958. His first official broadcast show, House of Bamboo, played jazz from midnight until 1 a.m. Fascinated, Buxton sought employment at several different stations but was shunned by the racial discrimination that plagued the ’50s and ’60s.
Radio stations were segregated which made it almost impossible to find a job. These challenges simply motivated him to push through the racial red tape. In 1962, he attained his FCC broadcasting license and tried to get a job at a radio station in Berkeley. Buxton recalls the station manager throwing his audition tape and bio in the trash after the interview.
“He called me in based upon the way that the tape sounded, but when he saw me things changed,” Buxton said. Undeterred by discrimination, he remained steadfast in his ambition. During his quest, he noticed that many stations were turning him down because he didn’t have an engineer’s license, which was necessary to work in the studio after midnight. He eventually went back to school and received his engineer’s license. This was just another obstacle that Buxton fought through which lit a fire under him and boosted his confidence. As Buxton put it, “I simply wanted to eliminate any excuses.”

Josephine Bolling McCall reflects upon her father’s lynching in Lowndes County, Alabama- The Lynching of Elmore McCall. For decades, Elmore Bolling’s family believed myths perpetuated by white people, and even by Rosa Parks, about why he was killed: that he was involved in a love triangle or that he had insulted his assailant’s wife. Though Josephine Bolling McCall’s father was killed when she was 5 years old, it was not until she was 60 that she discovered an article in the Chicago Defender describing the real reason for her father’s killing: “Enraged whites jealous over the success of a Negro, are believed to be the lynchers of Elmore Bolling.”…

29:41 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요29:41
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요In this compelling two-part interview with renowned attorney Bryan Stevenson, founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, we discuss the stark disparities within the criminal justice system. Stevenson shares his insights on how racial bias and economic status impact our U.S. justice system and create different realities for the "haves" and the "have-nots." He highlights the critical need for public defenders and the role lawyers play in creating hope and challenging injustice. He questions why, despite a surplus of lawyers, many people of color and the poor still lack adequate representation. We also explore the harsh realities faced by defendants on death row and the broader implications of poverty as a barrier to equal justice. Stevenson, a leading voice in the fight for equal justice, discusses the historical context of racial bias, from the use of lynching to intimidate African Americans to the indifference shown when "bad" individuals commit violent crimes. Stevenson emphasizes the importance of redirecting resources to prevent violence through education and intervention, urging a more responsible and complex approach, as the political expediency of promising punishment doesn't limit victimization. With a wealth of experience, including multiple victories at the United States Supreme Court and major legal challenges against unfair sentencing, Stevenson provides a powerful perspective on the ongoing struggle for equality in the criminal justice system. His work has led to significant legal and social reforms. From founding the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice to authoring the critically acclaimed book "Just Mercy," Bryan Stevenson's impact is profound and far-reaching. This is an unforgettable conversation about justice for all in the U.S.…

1 Facing the Reality of Racism: A Conversation with Tim Wise 29:00
29:00 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요29:00
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요In this eye-opening episode, we explore the deep-seated and often unconscious biases that persist in the U.S. with Tim Wise, renowned author and anti-racism educator. Drawing from his book "White Like Me" and his recent speech, Wise sheds light on the pervasive racism that affects people of color and the collective denial that allows it to persist. Wise begins by addressing the crucial premise that combating racism is everyone's responsibility. He highlights the fundamental problem: White America, both corporately and collectively, has never truly been prepared to address the reality of the experiences faced by people of color. He recalls the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where displaced black homeowners were barred from returning to their neighborhoods, and the stark difference in perceptions between white and black Americans about the racial implications of the disaster. Through insightful polling analysis and powerful anecdotes, Wise critiques the liberal tendency to shift focus away from race and hide behind discussions of class. He notes how every generation might acknowledge injustice in hindsight, however, in the present the dominant group enjoys the luxury of ignorance about institutional racism and inequality. This denial and rationalization of our present-day racial inequalities, he argues, make it difficult to have honest conversations about race and perpetuate systemic injustice through ostensibly race-neutral policies. Join us as Tim Wise, a Tulane University graduate and prominent anti-apartheid activist, discusses the institutionalized racism that continues to foster white privilege in the U.S. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to facing the truth of racism in the U.S., confronting our own biases and taking an active role in the fight against racism.…

Green shares his profound insights on the importance of Black History Month and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. Green delves into the critical moments of his journey, including the prejudice and bias that led to the erasure of African Americans from American history, depriving all Americans of a sound education. He discusses the significance of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the anniversary of the outlaw of the poll tax, and the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education case, which served as a catalyst for the second phase of the civil rights movement. Highlighting the enduring importance of these historical milestones, Green explains how America's commitment to liberty, equality, and justice has been tested by race and how the freedoms we enjoy today were hard-won through relentless struggle. He poignantly describes America as a "State of contradictions" and underscores the necessity of aligning our principles with our actions. This episode offers a deep dive into the foundations of the civil rights movement and its relevance today. Ernest Green's reflections on his pivotal role in desegregation, his continued activism, and the legacy of the Little Rock Nine provide a unique and inspiring perspective on the fight for equality in the U.S. Green's poignant and legendary role in the civil rights movement is a story of courage and the enduring importance of Black history.…
