Broadcast
Schedule In the second season of Initiative Radio, Angela McKenzie aired a combination Black History Makers/Valentines Day special broadcast and long after its' airing, listeners still respond positively to that show. So with the
help of Initiative Radio's resident poet RICHARD COOPER WILLIAMS,
Emily Pike and Carl Murrell, this week Angela responds to listeners
in kind, by programming a refreshing blend of love themed selections from
Richard's book "From A Whisper to a Scream," with soulful music
and little lessons such as Confucious' views on the marriage rituals that
forever change our lives, to the scientific origins of the stars that
illuminate our skies. In a separate
segment, Angela presents an overview of the genocide inflicted upon the
Cambodian people from 1975 to 1979 under the Communist regime of Pol Pot
and of the death destruction that resulted from the United States war
on Vietnam. This segment is accompanied by musical selections from the
likes of Guns and Roses, Sam Cooke, John Lennon, Band Aid and Dub Poet
ANTON. Jennifer
sits down with Angela to discuss grief and mourning, Freud's legacy, the
difference between psychiatry and psychoanalysis and resources available
to people interested in learning more. Listener's can hear about approaches
to understanding unconscious processes. In this hour, part-time New York City radio personality JR LaFontaine sits down with Angela McKenzie to share her life journey as part of the homosexual population. From self awareness to coming out to family and friends, to the joys and sorrows she experiences on a day-to-day basis being gay in a predominantly straight world. Today's program seeks to inspire persons young and old who are still concealing their homosexual identity to embrace the freedom that comes with self-acceptance and living openly, as well as to encourage heterosexual people to fearlessly embrace family members, friends and neighbors who are homosexual. As an added
bonus Angela gives listeners an historical synopsis of openly gay, black
American Bayard Rustin. Rustin was the public relations wizard behind
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's civil rights campaigns but in spite of his
tremendous talent and contributions to changing the face of American society,
he was physically abused and marginalised mostly because of his homosexuality.
To date, Rustin remains an unsung hero of America's civil rights and gay
rights movements.
