"Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir," by Dr. Cornel West.

Features

Q: What do protesters and Muslims have in common?
A: Both groups are on government watch lists.
Before the World Trade Organization demonstrations in Seattle, only a few thousand names were on these lists, mainly foreigners. Now, millions of U. S. citizens are on the lists, and not because they are criminals. Instead many of them are cited for their religious or political views. Last month the National Lawyers’ Guild (NLG) held its annual convention in Seattle and honored the city on its tenth anniversary of the WTO. David Griffith was there and filed this report from a panel discussion on government surveillance.
More information can be found at NLG Seattle Chapter’s site.
Tune into Community Radio KBCS and One World Report next week as we examine the legacy of the 1999 World Trade Organization protests with a whole week of special programs highlighting the grassroots participants and organizers of that historic event. That’s our WTO Anniversary Protest coverage titled, “N30: It Still Matters.” For the full schedule, check out www.KBCS.fm.

Interview with Dr. Cornel West about his latest book, Brother West, Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir
In this section, One World Report focuses on religion with two well known progressive theologians. First, Dr. Cornel West, known as one of the nation’s most outspoken and provocative intellectuals. He draws from such diverse traditions as the African American Baptist Church, socialism and the blues. He may be best known for his book “Race Matters,” which many consider a classic on race and justice in America. His latest book is titled “Brother West, Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir” and is a departure from his usual examinations of race and politics in America. KBCS Host Sonya Green spoke with Dr. West over the phone about the book.
To know more about Dr. Cornel West, follow him on his website, Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace.

Interview with South African Pastor Reverend Alan Storey about Religion and Spirituality
We go overseas for our next featured interview on religion and spirituality. Earlier this month, the Reverend Alan Storey spoke at various progressive churches throughout the Puget Sound. Reverend Storey is an ordained minister of the Methodist Church of South Africa. For eleven years he served one of the most multiracial Christian congregations in that country. His experience in the transition from the Apartheid government has been highly influential in his social justice ministry. One World Report Executive Producer Joaquin Uy sat down with him at the KBCS studios for this interview.
You can listen to Rev. Alan Storey's Holden Village Bible study at Holden's audio archives.
