From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., OUT-FM—WBAI’s progressive LGBT collective program (usually Mondays from 11 a.m.-noon)—crashes NYC’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Pride March. Catch OUT-FM field reporters conversing with marchers, listen to candid commentary on the past/present/future from movement veterans and youth activists via original interviews and archival clips. And groove on compelling performances—interrupted, of course, by live antiwar pride actions.

INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN ARTS FESTIVAL (Friday/Saturday, July 4-5)

Once a small Claver Place celebration in old Bed-Stuy, the International African Arts Festival remains a Brooklyn summer tradition. The theme this year is “Nduka: Life is most precious!” Join WBAI for the sights, sounds, and tastes of Africa on Fulton Street, between Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey Boulevards. Free admission. More info: www.iaafestival.com or 718-638-6700.

From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., we’ll share music and culture, news, views, and info from and about the Caribbean by those at home and abroad. Courtesy of Dr. Waldaba Stewart, we’ll broadcast from our usual northeast corner-spot on de parkway at Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn. Things have changed in the decade-plus since Samori Marksman took us out of the studios for Caribbean community edutainment. Unchecked yuppification and fierce competition for housing between the burgeoning Hasidic and the African communities makes for a different mix on the streets of Crown Heights now, but for at least one day a year, we’re all Caribbean.

CARIBBEAN/LABOR DAY SPECIAL (Monday, Sept. 1)

Continuing WBAI’s Caribbean Day Special on Labor Day, Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report, produced by Mimi Rosenberg and Ken Nash (usually Mondays, 7-8 p.m.), will report on the conditions and struggles of Caribbean workers. We will focus on workers of Caribbean heritage as well as new immigrants to New York City, and cover the struggles of the Caribbean labor movement. This Building Bridges Special will be broadcast from 7-11 p.m.
