Update
The Impact Unit CD Distribution Series has been discontinued. We are now working to create a free CD library program of the series. We hope to provide this program in a number of locations throughout the city and the country. The 30 CD's in this series are an educational gold mine that seamlessly ties together the reality of the past and present experience of Black Americans.
Series information
Years ago (and it's only 40 years ago) in communities of color throughout New York you could hear Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and a host of others speaking out in churches, community centers, and on the streets. We are presenting an opportunity to have this be a reality once again.

As a part of an educational community arts project created by Darryl Hell, Real University would like to offer FREE CD's of speeches by many of the queens and kings of our continued struggle for humanity. Our selections will also include presentations from Gil Nobel, Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky and many other well-respected investigative reporters, journalists & intellectuals.

Our hope is to create an educational community dialog about issues that are important to the growth and well-being of our communities. The overall theme is collective community awareness / knowledge, collective community effort and collective community respect.

We currently supply collage CD's of speeches, lectures and interviews to be played in unison from 11am to 12 noon on Sundays. We only ask that you play it in your store, barber shop, outdoor speaker system, community center, church, restaurant or home at the target time to create the strongest impact. You can play them throughout the week and record them for yourself or others if you like.

New speeches will be distributed Thursday through Saturday. The CD's of the previous week's speeches will be collected during the delivery of the following week's speech.

CD's can be kept and or purchased for a $1.00 CD burning fee.

Names like Angela Davis, Medger & Merlie Evers, Fannie Lou Hammer, Malcolm X, Student Non-Violent Committee, Frederick Douglass, Ella Baker, The Invaders (Mississippi), Joe Rauh, Unita Blackwell, Southern Christian Leadership Council, The Blackstone Rangers (Chicago), Martin Luther King Jr. and thousands of others have been removed from our minds and buried in our history books or reduced to short sound bites and slogans on T-shirts.

The pilot program was launched in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY February 23rd, 2003. The program officially launched in summer 2003 and included providing a community audio library service, community forums, a hyperlink library, and a web-based audio library of the Impact Unit series.

Without having a clear understanding of what people fought for to gain our present freedoms, we will not be able to understand our current place in history. Most of the educational and social problems we now face were spoken about as far back as enslaved people yearned for freedom and equality hundreds of years ago. This needs to be brought into our current consciousness & conversations.

We thank you for your time and look forward to the future of this community art project.

Please feel free to contact us about participating with this art project.

WBAI 99.5 FM NYC will provide the chance for you to obtain our special
6-CD "Pouch Collection" when you support their pledge drive via
their website wbai.org.

We will supply a link when it is available. Stay tuned...
Please pledge and support radio & media that supports you.

  5. Malcolm X

    This was a speech given in Harlem, New York 1964 during a youth leadership conference. It was also where the now famous sound sample "By Any Means Necessary" came from. He had used this phrase in previous speeches, but the sample was pulled from this recording.
    His analysis of media image maniplulation is quite edifying, when one takes into account this was 10 years before the documentation was released about the FBI Counter Intelligence Program and its media connection.
    There are also interesting assessments of U.S. military actions that are quite poignant in relation to our current military endeavours and interests in Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel / Palestine.
