My name is Professor Bill Davis. I have the privilege and responsibility of teaching Africana Studies at Rutgers University. I’m also an activist with the Peoples Organization for Progress among other organizations and I’ve been an associate of WBAI for a very long time. Elombe Brath, one of my mentors, and Samori Marksman those brothers were doing great work at WBAI over 30 years ago. I’m hoping that we will honor their legacy. The need for information that’s accurate–for us to be able to counter the negative forces that are taking place in the world–is absolutely essential. WBAI has been a beacon of information, of light, to make sure that people who are resisting some of the racism and terrorism that is happening; we have an opportunity for that to take place with WBAI. So, we need a local station board that has autonomy. We need a local station board that needs financial support. And so this referendum that’s about to take place, make sure to Vote No! Support WBAI. Peace and power.
