Tune in Tuesday the 27th May 2014, to KPOO Radio, 89.5FM, San Francisco , 4pm - 6pm, PDT, For the People. The show begins with music from Angélique Kidjo, who returns to San Francisco next month. The 27th may marks the anniversary of several significant milestones: the bubonic plague breaks out in San Francisco; race riots in East St. Louis, IL leave one black person dead; the Golden Gate Bridge is dedicated; Doris ‘Dorie’ Miller is the first Black person awarded the navy cross for heroic deeds at Peral Harbour; the USA forbids racial discrimination the war industry (hmm); the Maritime Museum at Aquatic Park opens in San Francisco; Momo Kenyatta is elected the 1st Prime Minister of Kenya; “Blind” Tom Bethune (Wiggins), pianist/compos is born; and Ernest Green, one of the Little Rock Nine, is the first Black student to graduate from Central High School in Little Rock, AR. For the People highlights these and other memorable anniversaries. We also welcome in-studio guest Eric Brooks, coordinator of Our City to discuss Assembly Bill 2415, an industry-sponsored bill that would make It virtually impossible for Community Choice Energy programs to exist. Hear that and more, Tuesday the 1st April 2014, on KPOO, San Francisco, For the People, 4pm - 6pm, PDT. For the People is produced and hosted by Safi wa Nairobi
