Helived and breathe the history of the Buffalo Soldiers, the all-Black military unit. His relationship to the unit goes back to his great-grandfather and grandfather.

The former marine, who served two tours in the Viet Nam war was a man of many talents, police officer, radio disc jockey, substitute teacher, actor, minister and more. Motorcycle safety was also a passion of his, having a brother killed in a motorcycle accident he was the founder and president of the National Motorcycle Safety Club and organized an annual Buffalo Soldier Iron Horse Safety Ride in the nation’s capitol to keep awareness of motorcycle safety and the history of the Buffalo Soldier military unit. The ride would take place during the third weekend in July to celebrate the commission of the Black military unit in 1866.

This segment of TAGS is titled, "Why Latin America Matters to the U.S.," through a press briefing hosted by Ethnic Media Services.

Meanwhile, China, Iran and other players are deepening their strategic stakes in the region. As Biden hosts a summit of Latin American leaders (minus those of several key countries, including Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Venezuela), speakers will assess what the U.S. stakes are in a changing Latin America. 

Speakers participating: Christine Folch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology/Environmental Science and Policy, Duke University, Ted Lewis, Co-Director, Global Exchange.

With songs and storytelling that share her life experience as a Native and Black woman and mother in the new millennium, Redbone gives voice to issues of social justice, bridging traditions from past to present, connecting cultures, and celebrating the human spirit.

Redbone’s recent work has been predominantly in Theater. Redbone is the Composer of Original Music and Score for the 2019 revival “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf”, choreopoem by the late Ntozake Shange, where Redbone honors the author’s 1976 classic by intertwining her original compositions celebrating the music of the African American diaspora with the beautiful choreography of Tony Award-nominee Camille A. Brown at the Public Theater, NYC.
 Redbone is currently in development with her own new work “Black Mountain Women” at The Public Theater.

It is a timely musical about the ongoing environmental destruction of her ancestral homeland in Appalachia told through the lives of 4 generations of women in her matriarchal Cherokee family.

On this segment of TAGS, we examine the threat of nuclear war, through a press briefing hosted by Ethnic Media Services. 

"The war in Ukraine is the most serious European military conflict since World War II, and threatens to produce the greatest nuclear crisis since the height of the cold war," writes Walter Russell Mead in the Wall St. Journal. He is one of a growing number of commentators to warn that - as both sides keep raising the stakes - the danger of nuclear confrontation grows. 

How real is the threat? Who is most vulnerable if the Russians use tactical nuclear weapons? What is the debate over what the US can do to mitigate the threat or how the US should respond? Panelists include: Michael Klare – Five College professor emeritus of peace and world security studies, and director of the Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College; Daryl Kimball – Executive Director of the Arms Control Association and publisher and contributor for the organization’s monthly journal, Arms Control Today; Gabriela Iveliz Rosa Hernández -Research Associate at the Arms Control Association; Andrew Nynka – Editor-in-Chief, The Ukrainian Weekly and Svoboda at the Ukrainian National Association.
