We were interviewed by Al Jazeerah News last week. Since buying Current News Channel from Al Gore, they have been working on building an American news division. Our frustration came from them coming to Memphis in a story around infant mortality, rather than police murder, corruption, or the recently concluded March 30th anti-klan demonstration.  They did an excellent story on police brutality in Anaheim, CA., but it is a lot worse here in Memphis, the poorest big city in the country with the most violent police force. Nevertheless, they stayed all week and we were able to get  some important points in about racism, corruption, and oppression in Memphis, which if it makes it to air, will serve as an important antidote to the lack of knowledge about this place.
