8-14-14 Earth Watch: Rachel Avery & Dan Kellar by Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod

Thursday: The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri, protests on the streets and the military style police response brings to light decades of racial hostility; and now yet another unarmed young Black man is killed on the streets of Los Angeles. What’s going on? Our guest is Dr. Gerald Horne who was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri.

And the US backed campaign to discredit Haiti’s largest political party, Lavalas is heating up as an arrest warrant is served for the head of Lavalas former President Jean Bertrand Aristide on what is widely seen as trumped up charges. Journalist Kevin Pina fills us in.

And, for our weekly “Earth Watch” blockaders take direct action to stop the flow of tar sands and fracked oil. Rachel Avery, arrested at the Dam Line 9 site joins us.
