Before James Brown music focused on the 2nd and 4th beat. After James Brown the world rocked to the 1st and 3rd beat. From him we all know that everything is on the one. This Christmas was a Black (cultural) Christmas and here is a clip of him in his majesty. RIP Godfather.

Through Eclectic DVD

Eclectic DVD and AK Press are pleased to announce the home viewing release of What We Want, What We Believe: Black Panther Party Library for worldwide distribution on DVD.

In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party, these three acclaimed Newsreel Films including Off the Pig, Mayday, and Repression, are now available for the first time on DVD.

Formed in 1967, the Newsreel film collective was dedicated to chronicling and analyzing current events. In their time, they produced more than three dozen films throughout the US and abroad. By working directly with the Black Panthers, Newsreel was able to explore realities often ignored by traditional media outlets, while producing documents that the Panthers and other activists could use in organizing their own communities. The results speak for themselves and stand as true testimonials to the spirit of community self-defense and political savvy the Panthers are celebrated-and were targeted-for.
