AmeriKKKa Goddamn!!
50 years since Kent and Jackson State murders,
Bob Avakian on the Situation of Black People,
and Fascist “Reopen” Rallies

This week marks the 50th anniversary of shootings by the National Guard and police on college campuses that shook the world. At Kent state (in Ohio), four students were shot dead by the National Guard during a protest against the Vietnam War. At Jackson State (in Mississippi) two students were shot dead by Mississippi Highway Patrol, and 10 others were shot and wounded. Watch gripping footage from these historic events from filmmaker David Zeiger, followed by commentary and discussion from Andy Zee and Luan Xocoyote.

With the recent wave of racist terror—police and white racists rampaging and murdering—the ugly truth of America is once again being exposed. How did Black people end up in this situation, and what must be done? We'll share Bob Avakian's response to a question posed to him about the Chicago police’s consent decree during a Q&A in Chicago which followed Bob Avakian's talk, Why We Need An Actual Revolution and How We Can Really Make Revolution. In his response, BA speaks to the choices given to Black people by this system and pulls back the lens on the role of the system in the oppression of Black people and what challenges are before people.

In a new feature of the RNL Show, “Pete on the Street” will take us inside the fascist “Reopen America” rallies and the leap in normalization of armed fascist mobs in recent weeks. We'll zoom in to see what went down in the streets of Los Angeles, including with the brave counter-protests held by RefuseFascism.org and the Revolution Tour. And we'll zoom out to discuss the implications of this for society and the world.
