RADIO PROGRAM NO. 430 - "I was free born"

with contributions from John Lewis Selover, Scott Campbell

[The participants are John Lewis Selover and Scott Campbell.]

Campbell: It is tragic to see people who feel oppressed. Some have almost given up because of racial or class discrimination. The oppression some of us face may be the shackles we put on ourselves. But whether it is a self-imposed oppression or oppression from some outside force, it is natural for us to want to do something about it.

Selover: There is a crying need to do just that, and many do. It is inspiring to hear of people working without fanfare in the ghettos or in the Peace Corps and to hear of the dedicated work of teachers, parents, principals, law enforcement officers—all of whom are trying to bring to themselves and others a greater awareness of what freedom really is.
