The school I was going to THE ODYSSEY was not to far from UC Berkeley and we some-how got a spot and I did my first radio show at UC Berkeley. Did the drama program at the Black Panthers site in Oakland. I can recall going to one of my first 'grown up's party' at Angela Davis's house. I had no idea what rich history I was coming from, until I start walking around the world !

I call this short film ' SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT and RHYTHM'

[gmj2012]

Fantastic live djembe performance mixed with slideshow images at the beginning about the history of the black panther movement. Shots from 1971 revolutionary thinking & posters. His djembe sounds very high noted for its size, usually has a deeper tone in a drum of that size.
