Black History Month, colonialism, bad politics, and other reasons for thinking about peace. PeterB filling in for Janis today.
Because Black History Month … is EVERY DAY! And so are so many other things. Today's program orbits around themes of BHM, colonialism, peace activism. Two fantastic rights-oriented speeches. Or, is that three really? Ample reggae and spoken word too. Enjoy. Peace.
It is indeed an honour to fill in for Janis.
