Hotep which in the ancient Kemetic or Egyptian language means “we come in peace”. This is Dedon Kamathi with Freedom Now’s agenda. We would first like to thanks all of those in the listening audience whose contribution to Freedom Now during the recent completed fund drive.We realized  a all time high of $4000.This means the continual survival of KPFK and Freedom Now . In particular  Brother George Quant who is the godfather the Integrated Quantum Mediation technique  who together with a group of us  gave our personal testimonials from our over 30 years of mediation. We solicited a service, a product that we acutally practice and belived in.It was quite a heart felt solicitation.

   This evening Freedom Now will have our traditional African Drum Beat historical calendar, we will follow with an update on the upcoming  Belizean Festival with Bilal Morris, then a music tribute to Gil Scott who crosses over May 27. Mike Novick will give an update on a very successful multi-dimension activist conference that occurred in Los Angeles which address crisis issues facing African and Indigenous peoples .Our central theme will be African Liberation Day. African Liberation Day is thee only global Pan African revolutionary event that address the state of Africa. It is  an annual tribute that Freedom Now has honored since our Ist broadcast.

   Broth Obi Egbunna   a young Nigerians journalist representing the Zimbabwe News

will present not only what is African Liberation Day but the current situation in Zimbabwe. In addition he will present his  research  on the interrelationship of many African in western hemisphere  historical figures such as Dorothy Heights, Ida B,Wells, George Washington Carver, Toussaint L’Overture to ALD. Brotha Obi has translated all of this into a draamatic play entitle African Liberation Day for children. Clearly the transitioning of ALD to the youth must be applauded.
