Here is a show from Democracy Now! 2/18/19
On the 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of national observance, over 360 scholars of the Civil Rights and Black Freedom Movements, and veterans of these historic struggles, along with educators and human rights advocates, issue a strong statement in support of Palestinian human rights, and in defense of our colleague and sister, Angela Y. Davis, who was publicly dishonored three weeks ago by the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute when it abruptly reversed its decision to recognize her with its annual award because of her stand on this issue.
This statement was the initiative of Scholars for Social Justice, a new national network of progressive scholar-activists, led by scholars of color. A contingent of the group will travel to Birmingham, Alabama on February 16th to participate in an alternative ceremony to honor Angela Y. Davis organized by local activists and officials in the city.
