Redefining Black Power in the Age of Obama

Since 1949, Pacifica Radio has shared its airwaves with the people, capturing the sounds of social change and political struggle from the studio and on the front line. The history of Pacifica Radio and the history of social justice in the United States are now preserved in the Pacifica Radio Archives to enable our listeners to reflect on the past, see how far we\'ve come and give the leaders of the future a reference point.

In the arena of civil rights, this has never been more relevant than now, as we embark on a new era with the nation\'s first African American President. In this special three-part series from the Pacifica Radio Archives, we\'ll hear from ministers and artists, activists and academics who gathered at a number of roundtables at WPFW in Washington DC, KPFA in Berkeley and KPFK in Los Angeles as they discuss redefining black power in the age of Obama.

Part One: The Presidential Campaign and Voting Rights

Part Two: Race, Racism and Leadership

Part Three: Post Racial America and the Redefinition of Black Power.
