Jen Marlowe & Sami Al Jundi: The Hour of Sunlight
April 5, 2011As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King and his legacy of nonviolent resistance, we also remember former GRITtv guest, Juliano Mer-Khamis, Arab-Israeli actor, director and teacher who was gunned down in Jenin, the West Bank town where he ran the Freedom Theater of Jenin. In an increasingly violent climate, how do we sustain a message of nonviolence?Jesse Jackson, The Hour of Sunlight, and Manning Marable
April 4, 2011April 4 is the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was in Memphis to support public sanitation workers, organizing with AFSCME. Today, public workers are under attack once again, but around the country workers and their allies are marching and rallying both to remember Dr. King's legacy and renew their commitment to his struggle.Lizzy Ratner & Laila El-Haddad: The Goldstone Report
January 20, 2011In the last weeks of the Bush administration, Israel started bombing Gaza. The attacks and invasion that followed were termed Operation Cast Lead, and they ended on January 18, 2009. The United Nations investigation into the assault culminated in the Goldstone Report, which accused both sides of war crimes. The controversy over the report made more news than its contents, unfortunately, but a new book out from Nation Books republishes the report along with discussions from many different voices.Sarah Ludwig, The Goldstone Report, and Obama's Op-Ed
January 19, 2011"We need to shine a light on the big banks and all their different tentacles," says Sarah Ludwig of the Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project, noting that all too many of the programs put in place to encourage banks to help homeowners fight foreclosure are voluntary, rendering them toothless. Instead, she calls for citizens to be aware of the banks' practices and to think about where we put our money.
