Korea Peace Now: Queer Perspectives on the Cold War in Korea
On Tuesday's program we'll play part one of a two-part series on Korea. Out-FM's Pauline Park is interviewing the co-chairs of the New York/ New Jersey chapter of Korea Peace Now. Kelly Yunmi Choi and Young Sun Han will discuss the work of Korea Peace Now in advancing a Congressional resolution calling for a formal peace treaty to end the Korean War as the first step to bringing about the peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula.

Facebook and the Censorship of Palestine Solidarity On-Line
Also on Tuesday's show, Out-FM's Pauline Park and Naomi Brussel will discuss the Intercept's exclusive report on Facebook's secret rules used to limit and even silence Palestinians and Palestine solidarity activists as well as the insidious censorship of support for Palestine that is becoming pervasive both on-line and off-line, including on college campuses in the United States and abroad.

Queer in Your Ear is guest-producing Tuesday's program. Emily Charles and Mary Salome are graduates of the KPFA/Pacifica Apprenticeship Program in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have been working together since 1992. They write: "We like the word queer to describe ourselves, and reject a narrow, single-issue focus on queer identity in favor of building alliances around shared goals for the liberation of all people. At the same time, we acknowledge the role of labels in creating visibility and power." You can find their previous programs on soundcloud.com/queer-in-your-ear
Tonight's program is Part 1 of GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS-OR DO THEY?, a series of programs about borders, walls & fences, visible or invisible, that keep us in, keep us out & keep us divided. Part 1 focuses on red lining, racial covenants and other institutional policies which created and continue to enforce segregation. We focus on Chicago but these issues are national, and probably happening somewhere not too far from where you're listening. If you're not familiar with Chicago neighborhoods, the context should make things clear.
This program is dedicated to Lorraine Hansberry, the award-winning Black lesbian author of A Raisin in the Sun, and her father Carl Augustus Hansberry, who fought and won the fight against race covenants in Chicago. You'll hear an excerpt from the film version of her screenplay of A Raisin in the Sun in the middle of the program. The program also honors OUT-FM's intersectional approach to understanding queer issues. This stance reflects the reality that our struggles are intertwined and injustice is not a one-issue problem.
Guests:
- Natalie Moore WBEZ
- Toniqa Louis Johnson social justice artist uses Chicago landscape as a medium she is a photographer multimedia artist.
Music:
- Together by Betty
- Crossroads by Nicole Mitchells Black Earth Strings.
- Four O'Clock Blues by Erwin Helfer
- Nicole Mitchell and her Black Earth Sway ensemble perform her composition “How It Was Born
