In my exuberance in sharing my recent experiences in Chicago with the wonderful people behind the Sun Ra exhibit (Hyde Park Art Center), I almost forgot to mention that the December issue of Downbeat magazine hit the street with a cover story about, guess who? Sun Ra, of course. Specifically, it is an excellent article written by John Corbett, about…
Read MoreNOTE: I wrote this essay in 2004, when the newly passed Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, now referred to as Proposal 2, was first scheduled to appear on the ballot. I traveled to Michigan that year from Sacramento and produced a video documentary that we titled, An Act of Courage with Barbara Grutter. But that’s another story, or set of stories.

All Sides as God’s Side, All Lands as God’s Lands NOVEMBER 27, 2006 — Since 9/11/2001, overt displays of patriotism have been the rage. Rage was “in.”The lust for a war we thought we could can “win” has the airwaves. Everywhere you went the American flags caught your eye; on flagpoles, draped on buildings large and small. That was then,…

I originally wrote this essay August 18, 2002, seven months before we invaded Iraq. Let’s see how the ideas now work with benefit of hindsight. Bush’s Dilemma in “Gunning Down” Saddam Our dear president is “champing at the bit” to unilaterally send US forces into Iraq and overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime. My simple question is, “Why?” Haven’t we gone…

By Special Invitation PHOENIX — A phone call yesterday from my friend, saxophonist, Marion Meadows, led to a fun evening at the posh Barcelona restaurant in Scottsdale. Radio station KYOT (95.5 FM) released Smooth Jazz Sampler Volume 12 with a gala event attended by more than 500 people. Jazz guitar legend George Benson, who contributed a track on the new…
Read More‘Coming Home’ to Now It’s almost amusing to observe how we make whatever we believe at a given point in our lives the absolute truth, and then try to apply said belief to everyone, that is, with the possible exception of our self. Then, in one dramatic and profound “A ha!” moment, we see the light, and everything that existed,…
Read MoreAfter a friend of mine read my previously posted essay, “Why Race Matters… NOT!” we had the following email exchange. His statements, presented in their entirety, are indented: Re. your response: You make a very convincing argument in describing the possibility for a group of people who grace the shores of America only to “face all the racist oppression that…
Read MoreNote: I wrote this essay in 1998, under circumstances outlined below. After posting my comments recently on the passage of Proposal 2 in Michigan, it was/is time to share more on this subject. In fact, I had an interesting email dialogue on this same topic with a friend that was sparked after he read the essay below. He wondered whether…

We are adopting a Town Hall format this time, where the public is…
Read MoreWhile the recent election commanded most of the national headlines, a ballot measure passed in Michigan that warrants comment. It was Proposal 2, formerly called the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative. With little variation, it has been billed as a measure “to end affirmative,” and as such, has been adamantly opposed by certain groups who believe passing the measure would send…

After reading and enjoying several of Neal Donald Walsh’s books in the Conversations With God series, I wrote this one in Sept, 2005.)
Read MoreCHANDLER, AZ — As much as I enjoyed our trip to Chicago, it’s great to be home. Shortly after the Southwest Airlines flight lifted off from the runway, we left the cool, damp, gray November day in Chicago, and quickly climbed above the clouds, and into an ocean of sunshine. And until it slipped below the horizon yesterday evening, it…

Over 700 people attended the “Traveling the Spaceways” Symposium at the Hyde Park Art Center over this past weekend. The music and entertainment was superseded only by the great vibe of the Center, its Curators, and…
Read MoreCHICAGO — The Traveling the Spaceways symposium at the Hyde Park Art Center was a rousing success! Although Mayor Richard M. Daley was a no-show Friday night, the howling wind and rain tempered anyone’s attempt to raise a judgmental eyebrow at him. The people who came were impressed with the Art Center, and with its signature exhibit.n spite of the…

The exhibit and symposium explores the topic of Sun Ra, and “will investigate the impact of Sun Ra and Afrofuturism on American history and visual culture.” I was invited in part, due to…
Read MoreFear, Love, and Who We Are It almost sounds silly to start an advocacy that would initiate a new first level element of childhood education on what it actually means to be human.
