- Description
- Karen Wilson-Ama'Echefu explains that her friend invited her to the Indigenous Peoples Day event as a singer with the Black Workers Center Chorus. She has not had any formal involvement with the American Indian Movement, but in her work as a historian of African Diaspora, she has found similarities and connections between Native American and African peoples and believes her grandmother was Cherokee. She speaks a bit about the change from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day, saying that Columbus had no right to be celebrated. She also notes the parallel between the duality of Malcolm X/Meridian Hill park and Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day. She ends the interview by performing her spoken word piece, "Baby Get Out and Vote."
