The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

No, the revolution will not be televised - it will be blogged, tweeted, facebooked, IM'd and live video streamed. This is the Civil Rights movement 2.0, baby. Let freedom PING.

Let freedom PING from the streets of the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street. Let freedom PING from main street's struggle to make wall street accountable. Let freedom PING from the Supreme Court steps in the wake of Citizens United... Lift every voice and STREAM!

Let freedom PING in the effort to connect, inform, educate, organize, and document. And let the dissimination be softened by the spark of entertainment, dressed as diversion.

Let freedom PING.

Soundtrack for a Revolution

Can you dig it? Last night I watched the film, Soundtrack for a Revolution, produced by Danny Glover's Louverture films. Imagine an informative and insigtful synopsis of the late sixties civil rights movement, made cogent and real by compelling covers of the signature songs of the day, as done by some of the most popular neo-soul artists of today. Think John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, Wycliff Jean, Joss and Angie Stone, Mary Mary and The Roots.

The mix is powerful stuff, a bone-deep reminder that the work is yet incomplete, and the sacrifices made must not be in vain...
