(August 20, 1999) This episode is part of an interview with civil rights activist Mabel Williams, wife of Robert Williams discussing their lives in Monroe, North Carolina. (August 20, 1999) Mabel Williams paints a vivid picture of segregated Monroe, North Carolina, detailing the subjugation that ate away at African Americans' sense of self. Among those who resisted was Williams's husband, Robert, the descendant of a long line of assertive African Americans, who slept with a pearl-handled revolver under his pillow. Williams remembers Robert for much of this interview, describing how his militant, assertive conviction in racial equality clashed with the rigid segregationist mentality in Monroe. Unable to assimilate in the way that many African Americans did, Robert earned the ire of white city fathers, who prevented him from finding employment in a quest to injure him and his family and undermine his masculinity. The local newspaper stopped printing his letters, one of his only safety valves for expressing the frustrations that gave him migraine headaches. But these efforts at stifling Robert's activism failed; he only grew more determined to resist white supremacy, arming himself and training fellow African Americans in armed self-defense. Guns became an important part of the Williamses' lives, whether on Robert's hip or on the seat of the car next to Mabel. http://www.dubyakaygee.com/BMA/BMAepisode272.mp3 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 23:47:39 -0500 Education no 00:43:32 black, african-american, history, media, archive, negro The BMA On March 31, 1968, only four days before he was to be assassinated, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered this sermon titled, "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution" in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

This episode is an interview with poet, mythical scientist, musician, and leader of Solar Arkestra, Sun Ra (1968). In the interview by Dennis Irving, Sun Ra discusses his mystical view of the world and humanity. He begins by defining his style of music within the concept of infinity, his role as a musical "coordinator," and the importance of music for all people. Blacks have been cast as "evil" in the Western world, which has lead to a decline in African American self value. Music, he suggests, can counter this history. Sun Ra then provides his view of the Bible. He concludes with his view of leadership and the two orders of beings who inhabit the earth. http://www.dubyakaygee.com/BMA/BMAepisode207.mp3 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 02:16:56 -0500 Education no 00:44:25 black, african-american, history, media, archive, negro The BMA This episode is a brochure written and published in 1924 by Marcus Garvey that outlines the "aims and objects of movement for solution of Negro problem".

One of the films Williams created was "A Natural Born Gambler". Williams was required by the studio to wear "darkie" makeup, however in 1916 a black production with a black cast was unprecedented. The film borrows from Williams' Vaudeville skits. It makes heavy use of stereotypes, e.g., stealing, cheating, minstrel speak, mainly for the amusement of white audiences of the time. But Williams portrays a leadership role throughout, something unseen in black performances of that period. The closing sequence, probably the most entertaining, is straight from Williams' stage act. Bert plays an imaginary card game in a skit Williams made famous on Vaudeville. http://www.dubyakaygee.com/BMA/BMAepisode168.mp4 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:11:30 -0600 Education no 00:22:02 black, african-american, history, media, archive, negro The BMA This episode contains three songs performed by Bert Williams, a Vaudeville star and the pre-eminent Black entertainer of his era.
