We'll talk with Diego Masimo, one of the volunteers on the first leg of the BAsics Bus tour in California, about launching the second leg of the Tour. Beginning in Atlanta, then heading out from there, the BAsics bus will be rolling into the thick of the struggle in a particularly hot area in this country - right into the heart of what Bob Avakian has called the Bible Belt/lynching belt.

We'll play an excerpt from Question 9 of the Q&A section of the 7 Talks by Bob Avakian on how the oppression of Black People is a foundational backbone and the achilles heel of the capitalist system in the US.

Lili Haydn, violinist, vocalist, composer, guitarist and actress will be joining us. Rolling Stone describes her music as "An impassioned mix of classical, punk, funk, jazz and pop." And George Clinton calls her "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin." We'll be talking about her new songs, her body of work and her inspirations.
