A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
I haven’t had a chance to listen to the audio, but I wanted to point out that NPR’s Talk of the Nation discussed the Jena story and coverage today (Monday).
Here’s more from the site:
Talk of the Nation, September 24, 2007 · The “Jena Six” are still in the national spotlight, but it took several months for the racially charged story to get picked up by the mainstream media. The story simmered on blogs and social networking sites for months, gradually building an online life of its own.
Guests:
Shawn Williams, blogger at the Dallas South Blog
Steven Holmes, national editor for The Washington Post
Keith Woods, dean of faculty at the Poytner Institute
You can listen to the audio over at NPR
