Wed, 10/17/2012 - 12:16 — The Editors
Since 2006 our mission at Black Agenda Report has been to challenge the current crop of black political and cultural misleaders with a vision of a new black politics of struggle, one that takes into account class differences among blacks so as to confont the prison state, and deal with the many other oppressive aspects of everyday black life which our misleaders ignore.
On Friday, October 12 most of the Black Agenda Report team gathered at Harlem's historic Riverside Church to celebrate our sixth anniversary. We were joined by Dr. Cornel West, who took part in an extended dialog with BAR executive editor Glen Ford, and a panel discussion featuring Margaret Kimberley, Jemima Pierre, Richard Wolff, P. Sainaith, Anthony Monteiro and Marsha Coleman-Adebayo.
The celebration was organized and hosted by BAR's Nellie Hester Bailey, and sponsored by Riverside Church's Social Justice Ministry.

Tue, 02/08/2011 - 20:14 — The Editors

Truth is always a healthy antidote to lies.  The mountain of fake history being spun around the life and career of Ronald Reagan is certainly too vast to move with a single article or book in this small space.  So we offer a more realistic recollection of the Gipper, in cartoon form, courtesy of Aaron McGruder's Boondocks.  In this clip, Uncle Ruckus is greeted at the door of White Heaven by the former president himself, who assures us all that "God doesn't have much of a problem with racism, and doesn't even remember slavery, except in February..."
