In our continuing coverage of the fallout of the US invasion of Venezuela, the LMC hosted a roundtable discussion to present a Black perspective on Venezuela and how US imperialism affects all Afro-descendents in the Western Hemisphere.
Our roundtable includes James Early, a former Smithsonian Institution Assistant Secretary for Education and Public Service. Egberto Willies, the host of “Politics Done Right”, which airs on Pacifica station KPFT in Houston, Texas. And Austin Cole, the National Co-Coordinator for the Black Alliance for Peace and the Co-Coordinator of the BAP Haiti/Americas Team.
Following a deadly police raid in Rio de Janeiro last October that left over 120 dead, the LMC spends the hour with TeleSur English’s Brazil correspondent Brian Mier to discuss the long history of institutional racism and violence by state police.
With the US attacking boats in the Caribbean as a means to provoke a military strike against Venezuela, the LMC spends the hour with Erica Caines, the Field Operations and Membership coordinator of The Black Alliance For Peace, to discuss Trinidad & Tobago’s role in enabling US military hegemony in the region.
The Latino Media Collective is a grassroots Latino public-affairs program that airs on Pacifica station WPFW 89.3fm on Fridays @ 1pm EST in Washington DC.
