Join The UnCola on Tuesday for another installment of African-American Music Appreciation Month. As we continue with our 2020 Spring fund drive, for any donations given to Asheville FM during my show on Tuesday between 8-10 PM, I will personally match the amount and donate that to My Daddy Taught Me That, a local non-profit with a program designed for the development and education for youth, transforming young males into our leading MEN of tomorrow.

Airs on WSFM-LP 103.3 in Asheville / streaming at AshevilleFM from 3am EST on October 5th through 11th, 2020, and podcasting via libsyn.
This week, we’re happy to air a conversation I had with the author and activist, Modibo Kadalie, author of Pan-African Social Ecology as well as Internationalism, Pan-Africanism and the Struggle of Social Classes. A version of Dr. Kadalie’s conversation with Andrew Zonneveld of OOA! Publishing, entitled Pan-Africanism, Social Ecology and Intimate Direct Action appeared up in the recently released collection Deciding For Ourselves, edited by Cindy Milstein out from AK Press. Dr. Kadalie has also been involved in political organizing including resisting the draft of the Vietnam War, labor organizing in Detroit and Memphis, ecological protest, community self defense in Atlanta and currently is working on writings about ecology and living in the territories of southeastern Turtle Island, including those of the Creek and Seminole peoples, and working at the Autonomous Research Institute for Direct Democracy and Social Ecology in Midway, Georgia.
In this hour, Modibo talks about autonomous community organizing, the contradictions between the survival of the species and capitalism, CLR James, his read on Pan-Africanism and Social Ecology, the pandemic, and direct democracy. We also talk about Geechee history in south so-called Georgia, the weaknesses of nationalism, hierarchy and revering individual historical figures and the strength of spontaneity and community action.
This conversation was recorded before the killing of George Floyd and but after the increased awareness of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery nearby to Dr. Kadalie in Glynn County, GA, which reflects in the discussion. Modibo shares some criticisms of official Black Lives Matter, liberal cooptation and the veneration of representative leadership.

Although slavery had officially ended On January 1, 1863, with Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, there was no official attempt to liberate enslaved African Americans in the western union territories…. Until this day in 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger traveled to Galveston, Texas to tell enslaved Black folx of their freedom. A few months later in December of 1865, slavery in America was formally abolished in the 13th Amendment (with stipulations).
47 states (including NC) recognize today as a holiday and a reminder that freedom for Black people has been delayed by the ongoing institutional and systemic oppression of BIPOC in the United States.
Want to celebrate but don’t want to leave the house?
OR you and your family can join one of the multiple celebrations happening in Asheville –
This year, the Hillcrest Community is hosting their ninth Juneteenth Festival: Celebrating Freedom. The commemoration will run from noon to 8 pm at 100 Atkinson St. Social distancing and sanitation protocols will be followed to limit the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Local hip-hop artist, Thomas Boyd, known as Ready Red, told the Mountain Xpress that the observance will feature a “series of wrestling and hip-hop performances that focus on telling the story of emancipation, soul food prepared by (local-restaurant) Daddy D’s Suber Soulfood, as well as neighborhood residents and kid-friendly activities.” Boyd also mentioned that “the event is open to anyone who wants to attend.”
With July 4th celebrations right around the corner, this an opportunity for our community to remember the darker parts of our history that we tend to roll under the rug. This observance aims to spotlight and celebrate Asheville’s Black community and encourage liberation from white-supremacy and colonialism.
