In memorial of Brother James Brown, we celebrate the principles of Kwanzaa with a funk. On this 3rd day of Kwanzaa, the principle celebrated is Ujima (oo-GEE-mah) Collective Work and Responsibility reminds us of our obligation to the past, present and future, and that we have a role to play in the community, society, and world. The 2nd day was Kujichagulia (koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah) Self-Determination requires that we define our common interests and make decisions that are in the best interest of our family and community.
We celebrate Kujichagulia (Self Determination) with
JAMES BROWN in Blues Brothers
We celebrate Ujima (Collective Work) with
James Brown with his Disciples, Michael Jackson and Prince
Daundaground on KSJS, was revolutionary programming. After having all Black and Latino programming removed from KSJS, a coalition of community, students, BSU, and members of the radio station protested, met, and organized a station that truly represented the people. Daundaground aired from 10pm-2am, with talk shows, and uncensored music. Lasting 3yrs until rules were implemented to remove the all members of DU. This movement so changed bay area radio that KMEL was forced to go "all" hip hop, and address the bay with KRS1, remember that? that was a result of lost ratings to the small non-commercial station from San Jose State, who won best college radio station in the nation 3 yrs in a row. Daundaground since went to the web, where the first 3 yrs was internet radio & news, then onto visual media, now a blog, and soon .....Daundaground will return in a new form. MORE
