Filipino Students Protest Consulate in SF | Rozz Nash Talks about the Afro-Diasporic Play 'Kola'

Hard Knock Radio (11-30-22) Davey D speaks with Nickel Rivera, an organizer with The League of Filipino Students, about the political issues the Philippines is facing and the insidious red-tagging of student organizations here in the US. A detailed statement concerning this was recently released condemning the practice. We also discuss the planned protest in front of the Philippine Consulate in SF and the legacy of freedom fighter and working-class revolutionary Andres Bonifacio.

Later we speak with Rozz Nash-Coulon of the People’s Conservatory about KOLA: An Afro-Diasporic Remix of the Nutcracker. We discuss the importance of providing opportunities and visual representations of Black and Brown youth. We also talk about the main plot of this play and how it brings to the forefront some very real challenges and eventual triumphs of folks in Oakland.
