Wanda's Picks Radio Show, July 4, 2018
This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!

4. Alashe Michael Oshoosi a.k.a. Michael F. Wright, Ph.D., JD, joins us to talk about a little known history of African participation on the Revolutionary War as Loyalists and what happened in 1787, 1796 and 1812 when Africans were relocated to Nova Scotia and Chatham, Canada, and later to what is now known as Sierra Leone where they built Freetown. His ancestors founded the oldest African village in America, Wetitquin, Maryland (which means land of the buried head).
