Monday Night, April 17, 2023.
Note: Last Monday night the station had technical problem beyond immediate repair; therefore, the program was not broadcast, which we will hear tonight. The problem was solved later. Thank you for your concerns; all is well.
Fund drive update: Dear Something's happening (SH) listeners, KPFK is in the 3rd week of its spring fund drive. Let me share with you the stats so far: the cumulative amount is $43K in two weeks and during SH hours $711 has been raised. You might be skeptical of the situation at the station and its building, which is for sale, and needs a lot of repairs and retrofits. Let me share with you that I am NOT married to a building; I care about the signal, which is intact and will not be affected by whether the building is sold or not. Let’s make sure we will have a kpfk on the air. You know kpfk very well—it’s been on the air for over 63 years. I want to encourage you to make a generous contribution to the station and become a monthly sustainer. Something’s Happening show has been on the air for 45 years with Roy Tuckman! So, I want to plea with you to make a generous contribution during SH program, 12 midnight to 6 am, by calling 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and follow a few easy steps to make your generous contribution. Can one of you donate a $1000, can another one of you donate $500, how about $250, and of course your generous $50 is most welcomed. kpfk is here for you and because of you. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and make your generous contribution. I have not compromised content for the sake of fundraising and pitching. I need your financial support during these hours.
Also, I am still looking for one person to make a generous $250K contribution; it can be monthly payments, to help the station and foundation out. So, please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org. I will welcome your $100K as well as $50 contribution; however, I am looking for one person, you, who has lifelong benefited from the programming, to make a generous $250K contribution. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org.
12:00-1:04 am: Dr. Cornel West: lecture on the “Historical philosophy of WEB Du Bois on the “Souls of black folk”. Part 5 of 9.
Dr. West really needs no introduction but just in case we have new listeners, Dr. West is a philosopher, professor, a radical Christian Theologian, and an author. Dr. West’s achievements are too vast to mention all of them here: he is people’s philosopher and has participated in antiwar, peace, and social justice movements in his entire life.
Dr. Cornel West taught a summer session at Dartmouth college in 2017 on the topic of the Historical Philosophy of WEB Du Bois of The Souls of Black Folk, and I am very pleased to bring you these lectures.
