On November 26, the Bay Area will honor the very best in local, independent, Black media. Willie Ratcliff, publisher of the SF Bay View Newspaper will be turning 80 years old, Kevin Weston of the Globe Newspaper, a longtime journalist in the area is battling leukemia, and the People's Minister of Information JR Valrey, of the Block Report and the SF Bay View is recovering from a gun shot wound, so as you can see it has been a rough year but we still will be celebrating life and resistance. Other media-makers who will be participating include Davey D of KPFA, film-maker Kevin Epps, Greg Bridges of KPFA and KCSM, Wanda Sabir of the SF Bay View, Veronica Faissant of KPFA, and Donald Lacy of KPOO, just to name a few.

Music for the evening will be provided by jazz extraordinaire Phavia Kujichagulia, jazz rapper Do D.A.T., and Bay Area rap legend Mac Mall. Buy your tickets now, this will be sure to sell out.
