This week we mourn the loss of our friend and legendary Pacifica program host Reverend Ambrose I. Lane, Sr., who passed from this realm on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010.
This special episode ofFrom the Vault remembers Ambrose Lane with a rebroadcast of his stunning 1993 interview with Dr. Cornel West, author of Race Matters. Dr. West and Ambrose discuss how racial attitudes are eroding what is left of democracy in the United States. West examines issues such as the continuing concentration of wealth into the hands of the few, the growth of corporate power, the unequal tax system, Black Nationalism in its various forms, the need for a multiracial movement to promote real change, the universal struggle against oppression, the economic crisis among the poor and working poor, and the need for community in cities. The program concludes with listener call-ins answered by West and Lane.
From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
