Baltimore: Problems And Conditions Precipitating Police
Brutality In The Community!
with
Stephan Janis, author of You Can't Stop Murder: Truths About
Policing in Baltimore and Beyond and Why Do We Kill?: The
Pathology of Murder in Baltimore. Janis' recent stories include
The True Toll of Policing in Baltimore - The Arrest of a 7-Year-Old
and A Walk Through The Neighborhood Where Freddie Gray
Lived and Died
 
As protesters decry Freddie Gray's death and plan more rallies in Baltimore,
we’ll speak with Stephan Janis, an award-winning investigative reporter with
The Real News, who has authored two books exposing corruption and
incompetence in the Baltimore police department, and we’ll examine the
confluence of poverty, poor governance, and racial animus that fuels police
violence in the city. 
 ****************
Insurgent Trade Unionism in South Africa
featuring
Luke Sinwell, senior researcher at the University of Johannesburg,
whose research includes radical theories and practices of
participatory governance, social movements and housing struggles,
ethnographic research methods and action research. In addition to
his book on Marikana, he is co-editor of Contesting Transformation:
Popular Resistance in Twenty-First Century South Africa 
 
The Marikana massacre, which witnessed 34 mineworkers being gunned
down by the police August 16, 2012 arguably marked a key turning point in
South African history. However, we know very little about the informal networks
that were created by mineworkers in order to challenge management not only
at Lonmin (Marikana), but also at Amplats and Impala South African.  Luke
Sinwell works closely with militant workers, especially miners, and the Left,
particularly the Democratic Left Front, and will talk about mining, capitalism
and the spirit of Marikana.  Recently the Democratic Left Front acting in
solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. held a march on
the U.S. consulate in protest against the police murders of Michael Brown
and Eric Garner, linking police brutality in the U.S. to what militants face in
South Africa.
