This week on From on the Vault, we celebrate Karl Marx’s birthday with a performance of Marx in Soho, Howard Zinn’s play that resurrects the German philosopher in defense of his theory and character. A one-man play written in 1999, Marx in Soho starred Brian Jones and effectively potrayed Marx as a family man struggling to support his wife and children. This performance was recorded specifically for radio in 2001 by KPFK in Los Angeles.
We end this week by remembering the 40th anniversary of the Kent State shootings with audio selections from a powerful Pacifica Radio documentary Red, White and Blue Monday: May 4, 1970, produced by Bill Northwood and Claude Marks in December of 1970.
From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
