That's just the way it is. We can't help that.
This is Empire Talks Back, brought to you by the
Improved Association and West Side Storynewspaper dot com. I am
indeed very happy to be here, blessed to be here,
(25:00):
and I do know that blessings are as abundant as
your heart is open. We are at a time where
it seems like we are walking through the mud and
the quicksand but understand, look up, see the beautiful sky,
see the atmosphere, See the possibilities of your future. Everything
is never, never in front of you for you to
(25:24):
plainly see all of us need each other in order
to see clearly what's going on. This day is June,
June fifteenth. We are in the middle of the month.
This is Black music month, Father's Day. We will move
toward Malcolm X's birthday.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
This is.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
June is a great month. And guess what. June is
followed by July. Fourth of July our freedom statement as
a nation, so we're making freedom statements as portions of
the nation and June teenth is the first original freedom
station statements. You know, the Declaration of Independence in America
was important, and after we decided that slavery was not
(26:11):
the deal, that it was not a deal for black folk.
It was not a great deal for lazy white people.
That made them, you know, lazier. But the labor was important,
and the building of America is and was and is
and will be important. And we've had to do those
things together. So as we celebrate Juneteenth, as we move
(26:32):
forward acknowledging that June teenth is exceptionally important because it
freed not only the enslaved, it freed the mental stress
that owning slaves and operating as a slaved enslaving country
has to be. That is stressful as we feel the
(26:53):
stress now as our president moves toward white supremacy. The
other day declared that he was going to rename the
military installations in the South after those people who the
only people from within this in America who created an
(27:14):
organized resistance and became the first line of traders. Our
number one trader would be General General Robert E.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Lee.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
General Roberty Lee led the Civil War the Confederate Army
in the Civil War, killing more Americans in the Civil
War than Hitler did in World War Two. We have
a very interesting relationship with our president now. One of
the things that we are concerned about, and I will
(27:45):
talk to you about after we celebrate a little information
about Juneteenth. But I'm going to talk to you a
little bit later later about martial law. I've been able
to study it a little bit and talk to people
who are concerned about it, and who also tell me, Wallace,
don't worry about martial law because of our Congress and
our judicial system will save us from that. We are
(28:08):
to have a nation of checks and balances, and that
will never ever get a chance to happen. Well, maybe
it won't, but maybe it will. And we'll talk about
that as we go forward today. But right now I'd
like to ask missus Vicky Davis to join us on
the phones. VICKI are you there? Is Vicky there?
Speaker 19 (28:29):
Yes, I'm here. How you doing?
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Oh god, it's great. I'm extremely grateful, Vicky. Or Juneteenth
Jam will be coming up on the nineteenth of this
week of this month, this coming Thursday, I'd like for
you to give us a final profile of what we
can look for at the rialto Juneteenth Jam coming up.
Put time Thursday, Do we start? Go ahead?
Speaker 19 (28:53):
There is so much to look forward to. We're gonna
be at alex Ferguson Park on June nineteenth, which this
Thursday of this week, coming up from four to nine pm.
You will find over one hundred local business owners, including food,
nonprofit merchants, so on and so forth. You will find
(29:15):
a three on three women's basketball tournament. You will find
a community three point competition where the community can have
a chance to win some gift cards and prizes. We
also have a youth Black football camp and tournament happening
on that day. We will have live music, We'll have
some local performers, we will have Dominos been with and
(29:37):
our exhibits.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
And as far as that Dominos, as far as that
Domino contest is going on, I understand that the champion
or whoever wins that contest will actually get to play me,
and that that that that that's really good that you're
having that playoff so that everybody will get a chance
to sit across the table from the King Condomino. That's me.
Speaker 19 (30:03):
I'm glad that you said that, because I'm glad that
you said that because there are some champions that woman
crown that day, not predominos. But we're having our inaugural
Miss juneteas paget on Thursday, and that will be several
young ladies competing for the title of Miss June Peace,
so they can be representing our area with their resilience
(30:24):
and determination in that serioit of we shall overcome. And
then we also have our June Team's Cookoff at posted
by mister tape Bun himself, where our chefs are competing
in a manish aside and a dessert category for the
top chef. Both of those competitions have the opportunity to
win a cash prize of five hundred dollars all right now.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Five hundred dollars. Huh God, yes, sir, man, I didn't
know that part I would have I would have signed up,
you know, so you'd.
Speaker 19 (30:56):
Be making some You know, you got a good oxtales recipe?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Do I have a good oxtail recipe?
Speaker 19 (31:02):
Yeah, because that's that's what the guests starts touching ox
tails aside and a dessert of their choice.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Listen, I have an oxtail recipe that is so good
that the oxes want to eat it.
Speaker 20 (31:14):
You know.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Uh, well, you know, no, to tell the truth about
ox tails, I probably got the best taste buds in
the world for ox sales.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
I'm probably the most qualified judge of oxtails that you
could ever find.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Maybe I'll be able to get out there and lend
my services to your operation there. But either way, I'm
sure that from the people that I've met who are
involved in your cookoff, you are going to have indeed
a fine array of ox tails, yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 19 (31:49):
And you know what, the people who are involved in
our collective are going to make this a beautiful display
of what it looks like when communities come together and
do things to support one another. I always say to
each person when they say thank you for doing a
thing you. You know, I cannot do this without so
(32:11):
many community partners who are willing to work together and
share this space respectfully. And so I'm so grateful for
my partners. And I can't wait. You know, we have
some custom June teens basketballs that we're going to be
giving away.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Custom June teenth basketballs. Those are the ones with the
little magnets in them to help you be sure the
ball goes in the hoop or what are we doing?
Speaker 19 (32:36):
That's the kind you're gonna need to beat me.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Oh oh oh oh? Did she sneak that in on me?
Margaret and crowd understand this. I've got a little basketball
court right out here at the station and she purposefully
did not come in today, and I brought my shoes
and the whole deal. But anyway, that's okay, I understand, Vicky.
(32:59):
It's important to have aspirations. One should always look for you.
Speaker 19 (33:05):
Cross on the basketball.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Oh man, I can wait, I can wait, I can wait.
Oh I mean I can't wait. I can't wait. Good deal, Bicky.
You sound like you have a tremendous amount of energy left.
You'll need it for these final four days before this
big event, and I wish you all of the energy
necessary to make this a super world class activity. I
(33:28):
know that's what your goal is and I do believe
that you will accomplish it. Is there anything else that
we need to know about what you'll be doing on Thursday?
And what time does everything start?
Speaker 19 (33:41):
It starts at four o'clock start, so be there or beware.

about how to connect with us, they can visit our

(34:03):
still time to register and help us make sure that
we are meaning be able to be accommodating for all
those plans to attend. But if you don't, just come,

energy from, from the participation and from the community and
from the love you know that you all bring to
the table. So please come give your energy. Make it

hamstring right now and so I don't want to. I
appreciate you, God bless you, and continue with the great work.
Thank you very very much. Vicky Davis, the curator and
(35:29):
founder of the rialto Juneteenth Jam. We're going to take
a very short break and we'll be right back and
talk about a few out of the great activities that
are taking place around Juneteenth. And I'm moving forward to
that time when I am indeed going to explain to
you my concerns about the activities with our protests, how
we are doing those and what they could possibly lead
(35:52):
to in terms of satisfying our president's quest to be
the president forever. Yeah, Marshall lum might be able to
create that situation for it. We'll be right back, and
I believe we'll get a chance to talk to Mr
Trudy Coleman in regards to her Juneteenth. Then in the
city of Permona. We'll be right back.

tremendous subject matter. We want to thank Bobby Short for
writing the song, but Net made it's super famous. And
I'll tell you what, it's not a lot. You ride
(37:56):
your way down that Root sixty six from Chicago to
LA and stopping sand Bernardino, Rancho Kuckamonga, Barstow say it.
But listen, Inland Empire has got it for you. You
got to just come through and collect your share, cut
you a slice of the beautiful life and lifestyles that
we offer here in the beautiful Inland Empire of Southern California. Now,
(38:21):
as we talk about Juneteenth, one of the things that
we must understand is that Juneteenth is claimed by everybody
who understands the concept of freedom that has a bit
of melanin in their skin and being. And you don't
have to have a lot. This June tenth is as
much for white people as it is for black book
because celebrating freedom is everybody's joy and should be. Now
(38:45):
we understand. There's some people who have never felt, never
felt the shadow of freedom, never in a position to
understand that it has an echo because they haven't shared it.
And those are the people who are in countries who
are upper under the dictatorship of their leader, under a
leadership that is dictorial, that has a martial law concept.
(39:08):
And we want to continue to let our president know
that we are without kings here. We have no desire
for kings, we have no desire for dictators. As a
matter of fact, our revolutionary war, the first bloodshed by
Christmas addicts, was to separate ourselves from King George. We
(39:29):
love England and English people, but we did not like
the concept of King George, and we're not looking forward
to having a king do no little hands. So we're
going to move forward and appreciate the fact that we've
got our freedom fighters, those people who produce, who actively
(39:53):
make things happen to make folks understand the importance of freedom.
And one of those pioneers is Mistrue. She and her
organization have been doing Juneteenth for some thirty thirty five
years here in the England Empire. She is part of
that group of people that helped to make Juneteenth, the
state holiday here in California. Miss Judy, how are you
(40:15):
this morning?
Speaker 9 (40:17):
Oh?
Speaker 21 (40:17):
I am blessed and happy Baba's Day to all you
father's out there and mis downs being volume up a
little bit, it's kind of not so so loud and
hard to hear you.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
Oh okay, all right, Well, we'll do what we need
to do, but it's important that we are able to
hear you because we'd like for you to tell us
a little bit about the.
Speaker 21 (40:40):
H You can hear me pretty good.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Oh, we can hear you, wonderful.
Speaker 21 (40:44):
Yes, Yes, I am in travel. I'm in a farm
in San Diego, Okay, with my sisters today. And part
of me in Juneteenth is the big family that I have.
It's all over the leath good, all different nationalities of people,
that's right. And we're at the family reunion.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
Well, you're a Pomona Valley Juneteenth Family Jazz and Arts Festival.
It's going to take place this coming Saturday's, June twenty first,
at Benicia Park, fifteen seventy five White Avenue in Pomona.
Tell us about some of the great things you guys
are going to be doing there.
Speaker 21 (41:22):
Well, the event starts with the opening ceremony with the
Buffalo Soldiers who will be there to do their regiment
of procedures that they do and then bringing the flag
in and they're going to have an encampment there also
they're going to have being full uniform and so any
kind of questions you may have about their history, they
(41:42):
will be there on hand to answer that. The bus
whiss out throughout the day and this valley since Singleton
events will be a part of our gospel starting we
start out with the gospel event, also with Citius Butler,
who will be doing a particular a particular gospel art
presentation is going to be real special. And also only
(42:05):
have I wouldn't say my special guest is coming out
of Tennessee and his name is Willie Waldam.
Speaker 17 (42:13):
And they.
Speaker 21 (42:15):
I call Memphis Boys, and they they they have played
with my family, the Newborns, who are the pioneers of
rock and soul on Bill Street according to Bill Street,
and they're going to be coming out with all the
jazz musicians and who are who played with the Newborns
and Santana, they played with Lauren Hill. A lot of
(42:39):
different people.
Speaker 9 (42:40):
So I have.
Speaker 21 (42:42):
To say a mixture of professional artists musicians who are
going to come out and share their jazz. We also
have it's called them Coolcat and that's also an organization
ran by organized by Ray Ean, and they are great.
They're they're across different nationality, different ages, and an R
(43:05):
and B Tribute Old School Tribute will have that and
cultural foods and we'll have games for the kids, lots
of things kids to enjoy out.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
There, very big, very big park.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
It's a very big park, room for a lot of
folks to come out and you can be right in
the middle of the mix. And you can also sequester
yourself off to a little quiet horner somewhere if you
want to do that. But it is a big family affair.
I've attended it in the past, and I think coming
to your event is indeed a big family event and activity,
(43:43):
and I encourage people to come out to Pomona to
be part of that. Judy, you're stealing people from Tennessee
to come all the way to California to perform. And
it is special because I know that.
Speaker 21 (43:57):
Tenant Rumor is a Massi Washington. He might show up
on the same line.
Speaker 6 (44:02):
I'm not going to say he is Kami Kaum.
Speaker 21 (44:08):
Definitely is just all thetaining.
Speaker 6 (44:10):
Did you say Kamassie Washington? Excuse me, hold it, holdly,
I need you to be quiet for a second. Are
you telling me that Kamosi Washington is going to be
performing or did you say his drummer is going to
be performing.
Speaker 21 (44:24):
He's and uh they're here to do a propecial recording
with him in l A. So uh, I wish he
would you up.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
He may he may do it. As matter of fact,
if you if you lean on this drummer, they're asking me,
he may do it. I'll tell you, folks, just that
possibility alone that Kamasi Washington will come and join his
drummer makes it worth it for you to if you
if you had to stand out by the freeway to
hear it, you want you don't want to miss that
if you get that opportunity one of the great jazz,
(44:55):
great great jazz young men of our time. You don't
want to miss that guy.
Speaker 21 (45:00):
So the death's going to be all changed from from
all ages, you know, just to enjoy and uh, we
have we have the the swimming pool will be open
because we want to bring your kids to your grandkids.
The swimming pool is open. If they don't want to,
you know, super just the activities that are on dryly
and that we will have and.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
How much does it cost, true to you to come out.
Speaker 21 (45:26):
It's free. And I want to also mention the the relics.
I have Relics Matters, and I have one of your
relics that are going to be out there that you
can see. So the history of where we've been and
all the things that been involved is very very educational.
And we have a website relicsmatter dot com to get
(45:48):
a preview of what's going to be there, and some
of up will be there, and we'll also have some
of the things that the at the four a African
American lives in Pomona. The things will be out there also.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
So truth truy, tell us you've been doing this, what
thirty five years? Is this the thirty fifth.
Speaker 21 (46:05):
Year on that this is the thirty fifth year, yes,
so tell us.
Speaker 6 (46:09):
One of the differences between this year and the first
year that that you did this. What I want to
do is that encourage people around the country to understand
that they are responsible for making things happen in their
community and that we understand Juneteenth is something that people
can do and are doing all over the country just like.
Speaker 21 (46:30):
Those no the June teams. You know, the represents the
mastivation which happened in America and it stands for the red,
white and blue that most people don't know we were
not free during the fourth of July, we would redoing
a masturvation and so we had this year on June
(46:52):
the fifth, the first Bundy in Junie. We have national
Duty Flag regions and we had the duty flag grades
with the American flags at different city halls and different
publications all across the nation. And Simona had it raised
up there at their city hall and Juneteenth in nineteen
(47:14):
started in nineteen ninety they had it. It was at
Pod Myris Park, little small park with the Teachers Associations
Black teachers. And when I got on board in ninety two,
I brought it to downtown Pomona. We had it there
a few days, shoots, a couple of days, a couple
of years, I'm sorry. And then from there we graduated
to actually had Pomona Fairground one year and then we
(47:37):
to Denetia Park that became the home. While we were
working on the national campaign with doctor Ronald Myers National
Duties Chair and so it just grew and grew and
grew from there. All the families came together. We tried
to make all the everyone feel welcome a part of
this the city, the legislatures come out, and so it's
(47:58):
just it's just been great to bring all the different
UH demographics of people in epics, ethics together.
Speaker 6 (48:08):
Yeah. One of our one of our empire legislators at
the time, mister John Longville, was the state assemblyman who helped.
Speaker 21 (48:20):
You stated the way that we don't want to curve.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
We said it again, I said, Uh, John Longville, our representative,
one of our representatives from the UH Empire, was very
involved in that legislature, UH, writing the legislature, writing the
law for the legislature to make Juneteenth of state holiday.
(48:41):
So we're very proud of being at the front line
of that aspect of Hunteem. But the big thing that
I want to say again is that it's happening everywhere.
Our our goal here the Empire talks back is to
h enthuse people around the country that they can be
just like us. We've got a small big town, a
(49:02):
small town, a big area of small towns that that
work together sometimes to get things done, but work not
necessarily in conjunction, but also end up doing the same thing.
We've had June teens all over the Inland Empire, and
I'm hoping that people will celebrate throughout the Inland Empire
and as a matter of fact, us as we close
(49:23):
with Judy, I'm going to remind you that we've had
got events I guess started last week and we'll continue
beyond this week. Yes, okay, Judy, is there any one
last thing you'd like to say about this great event
that you're producing.
Speaker 21 (49:39):
Well, to have a chance to sponsor and to look
at for sponsors and the vendors to come out. Just
maybe maybe there's stuffs, but it as it goes out,
but it's a great event to come to bring your hat,
you know it's going to be and if you're playing
(50:02):
food and water there, so just don't miss out. You know,
every every year is a great year, and you hope
the next year will be even better.
Speaker 6 (50:12):
Give them a phone number that they can use to
chase you down if we've got any potential sponsors or late. Okay,
how do we bet you?
Speaker 21 (50:25):

that beautiful campus that they have there at San Bernardino
Valley College. This program is put together by the black
faculty and staff as part of their Emojia project. We
put on our first, well not our first, but one
of our first June Teens in nineteen ninety nine. They're
at Valley College. It was indeed the original June teenth Jam.
(54:42):
Enjoy and don't forget on the nineteenth, the rialto Juneteenth
jam at Ferguson Park. You're going to have a great
time there. So what we want to remind you of
is that people, freedom is not free. It is something
that you have to fight for, and when you remember
it and want to make it institutional, you have to
(55:04):
celebrate it, but you have to continue to fight. Yesterday,
here in America, over two thousand Juneteenth type gatherings were
put together under the auspices of a protest against the
concept of King Don. We are a nation that is
(55:26):
not looking for a dictator, and we have a president
who for some well I can't I'm going to say
for what reason, but a president who is bound to
move toward authoriietarianship. He wants to be the main voice
(55:48):
of everything that we do. And there's some people who
think that's cool. And I understand because there were some
people who thought Jim Jones was indeed the right guy
to follow to South America where they drank the kool aid,
killed the senator who went to talk to them and
protect him, killed a United States Senator. That's how deep
(56:09):
that was. Jim Jones. You guys got to remember that
drinking the kool aid because a lot of folks can't
wait for the cup of kool aid to be passed
to them that President Trump is preparing Wallace, what are
you talking about, Well, I've been saying it. I've been
saying that he is moving toward martial law. A lot
(56:33):
of people don't know what martial law is. So I
want to read to you some things that top attorneys
have said about the concept of martial law so that
you can know what we're talking about. What is martial
law and how does it work. Martial law is a
temporary measure in which military authority assumes control over civilian
(56:58):
functions during extreme emergencies. This may happen when civil unrest,
natural disasters, or invasions make it impossible for local government
to maintain order. Under martial law, civil liberties such as
habeas corpus that's proof of a crime, protection against unlawful
(57:19):
detention may be suspended. They may just say I don't
like the way you're playing that bass guitar, mister Garcia,
and we're going to put you in jail, and need
have to say, well, can you prove what you don't like?
They say, ah, nah, we could, but we won't right now.
Just follow us. Maybe they just want you to go
to jail and play the guitar for them. But the
(57:41):
point is they Underhay. The dismissal of habeas corpus requirements
means that they don't have to tell you who they are,
why they're doing what they do. They just do it. However,
martial law is not a mechanism for long term authoritarian rule.
In the United States, martial law can only be declared
(58:04):
under extraordinary circumstances. Historically, instances of martial law include the
Civil War and local prices like the nineteen thirties unrest
in some states. The US Constitution, however, does not explicitly
mention martial arts, leaving much of its interpretation to courts
(58:28):
and Congress. Okay, so I'm talking to my intelligent friends,
explaining to them my concerns about martial law, and they're
telling me these are politically astute men. I'm not politically astute.
I just am, you know, a visionary who's concerned about
what I'm looking at around the corner. But they're telling
me that, Wallace, know, our political our political and circumstance
(58:52):
and constitution is one that requires affords us checks and balances.
There's no way that Congress and the discial system is
going to let this guy call for martial law. We
are protected by the checks and balances system. And they're right,
(59:17):
because I can continue to read and tell you that. Well,
the lawyers who are brilliantly assessing the possibilities of martial
law are also saying and pointing out that under our
system of checks and balances, Congress has the right and
responsibility to decide whether martial law is correctly being called
(59:43):
because they can they can say, oh no, poo boo,
that's not happening. I mean, our Congress has tremendous power.
Our Congress can say, oh no, we can sit down
this afternoon and write along in fifteen minutes that that
says we are not having a martial law. That's it.
That they have that power, and our judicial system certainly
(01:00:06):
has the power to listen to any case and decide
Oh, preach, preach.
Speaker 2 (00:06):

Speaker 3 (00:15):

indeed very happy to be here, blessed to be here,
(25:00):
and I do know that blessings are as abundant as

it seems like we are walking through the mud and
the quicksand but understand, look up, see the beautiful sky,
see the atmosphere, See the possibilities of your future. Everything
is never, never in front of you for you to
(25:24):
plainly see all of us need each other in order
to see clearly what's going on. This day is June,
June fifteenth. We are in the middle of the month.
This is Black music month, Father's Day. We will move
toward Malcolm X's birthday.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
This is.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
June is a great month. And guess what. June is
followed by July. Fourth of July our freedom statement as
a nation, so we're making freedom statements as portions of
the nation and June teenth is the first original freedom
station statements. You know, the Declaration of Independence in America
was important, and after we decided that slavery was not
(26:11):
the deal, that it was not a deal for black folk.
It was not a great deal for lazy white people.
That made them, you know, lazier. But the labor was important,
and the building of America is and was and is
and will be important. And we've had to do those
things together. So as we celebrate Juneteenth, as we move
(26:32):
forward acknowledging that June teenth is exceptionally important because it
freed not only the enslaved, it freed the mental stress
that owning slaves and operating as a slaved enslaving country
has to be. That is stressful as we feel the
(26:53):
stress now as our president moves toward white supremacy. The
other day declared that he was going to rename the
military installations in the South after those people who the
only people from within this in America who created an
(27:14):
organized resistance and became the first line of traders. Our
number one trader would be General General Robert E.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Lee.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
General Roberty Lee led the Civil War the Confederate Army
in the Civil War, killing more Americans in the Civil
War than Hitler did in World War Two. We have
a very interesting relationship with our president now. One of
the things that we are concerned about, and I will
(27:45):
talk to you about after we celebrate a little information
about Juneteenth. But I'm going to talk to you a
little bit later later about martial law. I've been able
to study it a little bit and talk to people
who are concerned about it, and who also tell me, Wallace,
don't worry about martial law because of our Congress and
our judicial system will save us from that. We are
(28:08):
to have a nation of checks and balances, and that
will never ever get a chance to happen. Well, maybe
it won't, but maybe it will. And we'll talk about
that as we go forward today. But right now I'd
like to ask missus Vicky Davis to join us on
the phones. VICKI are you there? Is Vicky there?
Speaker 19 (28:29):
Yes, I'm here. How you doing?
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Oh god, it's great. I'm extremely grateful, Vicky. Or Juneteenth
Jam will be coming up on the nineteenth of this
week of this month, this coming Thursday, I'd like for
you to give us a final profile of what we
can look for at the rialto Juneteenth Jam coming up.

Domino contest is going on, I understand that the champion
or whoever wins that contest will actually get to play me,
and that that that that that's really good that you're
having that playoff so that everybody will get a chance
to sit across the table from the King Condomino. That's me.
Speaker 19 (30:03):
I'm glad that you said that, because I'm glad that
you said that because there are some champions that woman
crown that day, not predominos. But we're having our inaugural
Miss juneteas paget on Thursday, and that will be several
young ladies competing for the title of Miss June Peace,

that the oxes want to eat it.
Speaker 20 (31:14):
You know.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Uh, well, you know, no, to tell the truth about
ox tails, I probably got the best taste buds in
the world for ox sales.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
I'm probably the most qualified judge of oxtails that you
could ever find.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Maybe I'll be able to get out there and lend
my services to your operation there. But either way, I'm
sure that from the people that I've met who are
involved in your cookoff, you are going to have indeed
a fine array of ox tails, yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 19 (31:49):
And you know what, the people who are involved in
our collective are going to make this a beautiful display
of what it looks like when communities come together and
do things to support one another. I always say to
each person when they say thank you for doing a
thing you. You know, I cannot do this without so
(32:11):
many community partners who are willing to work together and
share this space respectfully. And so I'm so grateful for
my partners. And I can't wait. You know, we have
some custom June teens basketballs that we're going to be
giving away.

Margaret and crowd understand this. I've got a little basketball
court right out here at the station and she purposefully
did not come in today, and I brought my shoes

big event, and I wish you all of the energy
necessary to make this a super world class activity. I

a very short break and we'll be right back and
talk about a few out of the great activities that
are taking place around Juneteenth. And I'm moving forward to
that time when I am indeed going to explain to
you my concerns about the activities with our protests, how
we are doing those and what they could possibly lead
(35:52):
to in terms of satisfying our president's quest to be
the president forever. Yeah, Marshall lum might be able to
create that situation for it. We'll be right back, and
I believe we'll get a chance to talk to Mr
Trudy Coleman in regards to her Juneteenth. Then in the
city of Permona. We'll be right back.

your way down that Root sixty six from Chicago to

But listen, Inland Empire has got it for you. You
got to just come through and collect your share, cut
you a slice of the beautiful life and lifestyles that
we offer here in the beautiful Inland Empire of Southern California. Now,
(38:21):
as we talk about Juneteenth, one of the things that
we must understand is that Juneteenth is claimed by everybody
who understands the concept of freedom that has a bit
of melanin in their skin and being. And you don't
have to have a lot. This June tenth is as
much for white people as it is for black book
because celebrating freedom is everybody's joy and should be. Now
(38:45):
we understand. There's some people who have never felt, never
felt the shadow of freedom, never in a position to
understand that it has an echo because they haven't shared it.
And those are the people who are in countries who
are upper under the dictatorship of their leader, under a
leadership that is dictorial, that has a martial law concept.
(39:08):
And we want to continue to let our president know
that we are without kings here. We have no desire
for kings, we have no desire for dictators. As a
matter of fact, our revolutionary war, the first bloodshed by
Christmas addicts, was to separate ourselves from King George. We
(39:29):
love England and English people, but we did not like
the concept of King George, and we're not looking forward
to having a king do no little hands. So we're
going to move forward and appreciate the fact that we've
got our freedom fighters, those people who produce, who actively
(39:53):
make things happen to make folks understand the importance of freedom.
And one of those pioneers is Mistrue. She and her
organization have been doing Juneteenth for some thirty thirty five
years here in the England Empire. She is part of
that group of people that helped to make Juneteenth, the
state holiday here in California. Miss Judy, how are you
(40:15):
this morning?
Speaker 9 (40:17):

Speaker 21 (40:17):
I am blessed and happy Baba's Day to all you

a little bit about the.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
There, very big, very big park.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
It's a very big park, room for a lot of
folks to come out and you can be right in
the middle of the mix. And you can also sequester
yourself off to a little quiet horner somewhere if you
want to do that. But it is a big family affair.
I've attended it in the past, and I think coming
to your event is indeed a big family event and activity,
(43:43):
and I encourage people to come out to Pomona to
be part of that. Judy, you're stealing people from Tennessee
to come all the way to California to perform. And
it is special because I know that.
Speaker 21 (43:57):
Tenant Rumor is a Massi Washington. He might show up
on the same line.
Speaker 6 (44:02):
I'm not going to say he is Kami Kaum.
Speaker 21 (44:08):
Definitely is just all thetaining.
Speaker 6 (44:10):
Did you say Kamassie Washington? Excuse me, hold it, holdly,
I need you to be quiet for a second. Are
you telling me that Kamosi Washington is going to be
performing or did you say his drummer is going to
be performing.
Speaker 21 (44:24):
He's and uh they're here to do a propecial recording
with him in l A. So uh, I wish he
would you up.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
He may he may do it. As matter of fact,
if you if you lean on this drummer, they're asking me,
he may do it. I'll tell you, folks, just that
possibility alone that Kamasi Washington will come and join his
drummer makes it worth it for you to if you
if you had to stand out by the freeway to
hear it, you want you don't want to miss that
if you get that opportunity one of the great jazz,
(44:55):
great great jazz young men of our time. You don't
want to miss that guy.

because we want to bring your kids to your grandkids.
The swimming pool is open. If they don't want to,
you know, super just the activities that are on dryly
and that we will have and.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
How much does it cost, true to you to come out.
Speaker 21 (45:26):
It's free. And I want to also mention the the relics.
I have Relics Matters, and I have one of your
relics that are going to be out there that you
can see. So the history of where we've been and
all the things that been involved is very very educational.
And we have a website relicsmatter dot com to get
(45:48):
a preview of what's going to be there, and some
of up will be there, and we'll also have some
of the things that the at the four a African
American lives in Pomona. The things will be out there also.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
So truth truy, tell us you've been doing this, what
thirty five years? Is this the thirty fifth.
Speaker 21 (46:05):
Year on that this is the thirty fifth year, yes,
so tell us.
Speaker 6 (46:09):
One of the differences between this year and the first
year that that you did this. What I want to
do is that encourage people around the country to understand
that they are responsible for making things happen in their
community and that we understand Juneteenth is something that people
can do and are doing all over the country just like.
Speaker 21 (46:30):
Those no the June teams. You know, the represents the
mastivation which happened in America and it stands for the red,
white and blue that most people don't know we were
not free during the fourth of July, we would redoing
a masturvation and so we had this year on June
(46:52):
the fifth, the first Bundy in Junie. We have national
Duty Flag regions and we had the duty flag grades
with the American flags at different city halls and different
publications all across the nation. And Simona had it raised
up there at their city hall and Juneteenth in nineteen
(47:14):
started in nineteen ninety they had it. It was at
Pod Myris Park, little small park with the Teachers Associations
Black teachers. And when I got on board in ninety two,
I brought it to downtown Pomona. We had it there
a few days, shoots, a couple of days, a couple
of years, I'm sorry. And then from there we graduated
to actually had Pomona Fairground one year and then we
(47:37):
to Denetia Park that became the home. While we were
working on the national campaign with doctor Ronald Myers National
Duties Chair and so it just grew and grew and
grew from there. All the families came together. We tried
to make all the everyone feel welcome a part of
this the city, the legislatures come out, and so it's
(47:58):
just it's just been great to bring all the different
UH demographics of people in epics, ethics together.
Speaker 6 (48:08):
Yeah. One of our one of our empire legislators at
the time, mister John Longville, was the state assemblyman who helped.
Speaker 21 (48:20):
You stated the way that we don't want to curve.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
We said it again, I said, Uh, John Longville, our representative,
one of our representatives from the UH Empire, was very
involved in that legislature, UH, writing the legislature, writing the
law for the legislature to make Juneteenth of state holiday.
(48:41):
So we're very proud of being at the front line
of that aspect of Hunteem. But the big thing that
I want to say again is that it's happening everywhere.
Our our goal here the Empire talks back is to
h enthuse people around the country that they can be
just like us. We've got a small big town, a
(49:02):
small town, a big area of small towns that that
work together sometimes to get things done, but work not
necessarily in conjunction, but also end up doing the same thing.
We've had June teens all over the Inland Empire, and
I'm hoping that people will celebrate throughout the Inland Empire
and as a matter of fact, us as we close
(49:23):
with Judy, I'm going to remind you that we've had
got events I guess started last week and we'll continue
beyond this week. Yes, okay, Judy, is there any one
last thing you'd like to say about this great event
that you're producing.
Speaker 21 (49:39):
Well, to have a chance to sponsor and to look
at for sponsors and the vendors to come out. Just
maybe maybe there's stuffs, but it as it goes out,
but it's a great event to come to bring your hat,
you know it's going to be and if you're playing
(50:02):
food and water there, so just don't miss out. You know,
every every year is a great year, and you hope
the next year will be even better.
Speaker 6 (50:12):
Give them a phone number that they can use to
chase you down if we've got any potential sponsors or late. Okay,
how do we bet you?

that beautiful campus that they have there at San Bernardino
Valley College. This program is put together by the black
faculty and staff as part of their Emojia project. We
put on our first, well not our first, but one
of our first June Teens in nineteen ninety nine. They're
at Valley College. It was indeed the original June teenth Jam.
(54:42):
Enjoy and don't forget on the nineteenth, the rialto Juneteenth
jam at Ferguson Park. You're going to have a great
time there. So what we want to remind you of
is that people, freedom is not free. It is something
that you have to fight for, and when you remember
it and want to make it institutional, you have to
(55:04):
celebrate it, but you have to continue to fight. Yesterday,
here in America, over two thousand Juneteenth type gatherings were
put together under the auspices of a protest against the
concept of King Don. We are a nation that is
(55:26):
not looking for a dictator, and we have a president
who for some well I can't I'm going to say
for what reason, but a president who is bound to
move toward authoriietarianship. He wants to be the main voice
(55:48):
of everything that we do. And there's some people who
think that's cool. And I understand because there were some
people who thought Jim Jones was indeed the right guy
to follow to South America where they drank the kool aid,
killed the senator who went to talk to them and
protect him, killed a United States Senator. That's how deep
(56:09):
that was. Jim Jones. You guys got to remember that
drinking the kool aid because a lot of folks can't
wait for the cup of kool aid to be passed
to them that President Trump is preparing Wallace, what are
you talking about, Well, I've been saying it. I've been
saying that he is moving toward martial law. A lot
(56:33):
of people don't know what martial law is. So I
want to read to you some things that top attorneys
have said about the concept of martial law so that
you can know what we're talking about. What is martial
law and how does it work. Martial law is a
temporary measure in which military authority assumes control over civilian
(56:58):
functions during extreme emergencies. This may happen when civil unrest,
natural disasters, or invasions make it impossible for local government
to maintain order. Under martial law, civil liberties such as
habeas corpus that's proof of a crime, protection against unlawful
(57:19):
detention may be suspended. They may just say I don't
like the way you're playing that bass guitar, mister Garcia,
and we're going to put you in jail, and need
have to say, well, can you prove what you don't like?
They say, ah, nah, we could, but we won't right now.
Just follow us. Maybe they just want you to go
to jail and play the guitar for them. But the
(57:41):
point is they Underhay. The dismissal of habeas corpus requirements
means that they don't have to tell you who they are,
why they're doing what they do. They just do it. However,
martial law is not a mechanism for long term authoritarian rule.
In the United States, martial law can only be declared
(58:04):
under extraordinary circumstances. Historically, instances of martial law include the
Civil War and local prices like the nineteen thirties unrest
in some states. The US Constitution, however, does not explicitly
mention martial arts, leaving much of its interpretation to courts
(58:28):
and Congress. Okay, so I'm talking to my intelligent friends,
explaining to them my concerns about martial law, and they're
telling me these are politically astute men. I'm not politically astute.
I just am, you know, a visionary who's concerned about
what I'm looking at around the corner. But they're telling
me that, Wallace, know, our political our political and circumstance
(58:52):
and constitution is one that requires affords us checks and balances.
There's no way that Congress and the discial system is
going to let this guy call for martial law. We
are protected by the checks and balances system. And they're right,
(59:17):
because I can continue to read and tell you that. Well,
the lawyers who are brilliantly assessing the possibilities of martial
law are also saying and pointing out that under our
system of checks and balances, Congress has the right and
responsibility to decide whether martial law is correctly being called
(59:43):
because they can they can say, oh no, poo boo,
that's not happening. I mean, our Congress has tremendous power.
Our Congress can say, oh no, we can sit down
this afternoon and write along in fifteen minutes that that
says we are not having a martial law. That's it.
That they have that power, and our judicial system certainly
(01:00:06):
has the power to listen to any case and decide
