This week: Lenny Wolff and Tala Deloria will talk about the Get Organized For An Actual Revolution National Tour, and the Upcoming Event at UCLA Lenny Wolff and Tala Deloria will join us to talk about the upcoming speaking event, Monday May 20, at UCLA, for the Get Organized For An Actual Revolution National Tour. They'll be talking about the tour, and why the system must be overthrown.  "There is nothing more unrealistic than the idea of reforming this system into something that would come anywhere near being in the interests of the great majority of people and ultimately of humanity as a whole." Bob Avakian BAsics 3:2   Max Felker-Kantor, author of Policing Los Angeles: Race, Resistance, and the Rise of the LAPD.  We'll hear part of an interview with Max Felker-Kantor, author of Policing Los Angeles, which tells the story of the LAPD from the Watts Rebellion of 1965, to the 1992 Spring Rebellion. When the Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts erupted in violent protest in August 1965, the uprising drew strength from decades of pent-up frustration with employment discrimination, residential segregation, and poverty. But the more immediate grievance was anger at the racist and abusive practices of the Los Angeles Police Department. Yet in the decades after Watts, the LAPD resisted all but the most limited demands for reform made by activists and residents of color, instead intensifying its power.
