We Will Not Be Silent: Movement Grows to Challenge
Racial Profiling at Airports
A growing movement across the country is challenging what
appears to be an increase in racial profiling at airports.
More and more travelers are donning T-shirts that say "We
Will Not Be Silent" in English and Arabic in solidarity
with Iraqi blogger and activist Raed Jarrar who was forced
to change the T-Shirt before boarding a JetBlue Airways flight
at Kennedy airport.
Jazz Legend Charlie Haden on His Life, His Music
and His Politics
We speak with legendary bass player and composer, Charlie
Haden, one of the most politically outspoken jazz musicians
of his time. During the middle of the Vietnam War, Haden formed
the Liberation Music Orchestra that mixed songs from the Spanish
Civil War, anti-war songs and a tribute to Che Guevera. He
recently re-formed the group to respond to the Bush administration
and the invasion of Iraq. He titled the new album "Not
In Our Name."
