Learnin' & Teachin': The Future of Education
Originally broadcast March 7, 2007
In decaying and resource-starved public schools, teachers and staffers with incredible vision and energy are trying to make education work. But what do we want from education now? Should it be organized around children spending mandatory time in classrooms or should we take a hint from the burgeoning homeschooling movement and look toward other models? Let's challenge our assumptions in this open-ended discussion. With Lisa Schiff (Parents for Public Schools), Will Grant (BLAST), Karen Allen (home schooling advocate), Ken Tray (Lowell High School teacher and Teacher's Union shop steward).

Black Exodus/Black Eviction
Originally recorded April 12, 2006
The infamous redevelopment process of the 1960s did much to diminish a vibrant African-American community in the old Fillmore.

Community activists and historians will discuss the past to inform the present and change the future! With host Chris Carlsson, Kevin Epps (featuring excerpts from Straight Outta Hunters Point), Alicia Schwartz (People Organized to Win Employment Rights--POWER), and Espanola Jackson subbing for Willie Ratcliff (publisher, San Francisco Bayview newspaper)

America in the Philippines
February 8, 2006
From the barely remembered American-Philippine War of 1899-1904 that killed a half million Filipinos, to the Central Valley-driven immigration of Filipino men in the 1910s and 1920s, and from the rise to the ultimate demise of Manilatown, San Francisco has been a vital crossroads for Filipinos, and Filipinos in turn have left important marks in the city. Join the authors of The Forbidden Book and other Filipino-American scholars and activists. Speakers: Chris Carlsson, Abraham Ignacio, Oscar Peneranda, MC Canlas, Terecita Bautista
