1. FIRE IN LITTLE AFRICA - FIRE IN LITTLE AFRICA On June 1, the city of Tulsa in Oklahoma marked 100 years since white supremacists burnt to the ground a wealthy African-American suburb that had come to be known as Black Wall Street. To commemorate the occasion, a hip-hop collective calling themselves Fire In Little Africa released an album about the event, recorded in a Tulsa mansion previously owned by a local member of the Ku Klux Klan. The album s producer, a PhD-toting academic who deejays as Dr View, said it wasn t until he was 24 years old that he heard the history of Black Wall Street. I d finished two degrees, he said. Two degrees! And I d just found out about it, and it was in my backyard. It was a wake-up call. Also addressing the event is the new album by blues musician Guy Davis, on which he sings: It ain t right, no it ain t right, what the white folks did in Tulsa on that night. MORE >
