Transcript of Smiley & West radio program April 8, 2011.
Smiley & West featuring Father Michael Pfleger
*** begin quote ***
Smiley: From PRI, Public Radio International in Los Angeles, I’m Tavis Smiley.
West: And in Princeton I’m Cornel West and this is Smiley & West.
*** and ***
Smiley: You get a sense given this teach-in that there is an interest, a new awakening, so to speak, or an angst, you tell me what you sense on the part of students these days given the state of our country right now.
West: Well I think students are hungry. We had 700 students at UMass, Amherst, they had gatherings at Manhattan College, they’re at UC Berkeley. They were all over the country. Morgan State University, the black brothers and sisters there. It was a beautiful thing to have so many young people on fire. They had a 2 hour meeting after Sister Frances Fox Piven and myself and Richard Trumka and other marvelous speakers spoke in New York.
But they had 2 hour local gatherings in order to keep alive the local activism in the face of this corporate greed and corporate assault on poor and working people, my brother.
Smiley: This hour we are going to talk with a long time friend of ours, both yours and mine, Father Michael Pfleger out of St. Sabina’s in Chicago. How would you describe Father Pfleger?
*** end quote ***
[JR: Interesting. I never heard any news report of "teach ins". And, certainly not at any of the many "manhattan colleges". Was there such? Was there such at our "manhattan college"? Sigh, wish I had investigative reporters to send out. I assume that since this is "public radio" somehow my taxes are paying for this too. Argh!]
