About this listen

 Following a motion forwarded by Long Beach City Councilmember Tunua Thrash-Ntuk, and seconded by Councilmember Dr. Jodi Ricks-Oddie, the Long Beach City Council unanimously approved the raising of the Pan African Flag. The motion requested that annually, the flag will fly alongside the Stars and Stripes, The State of California Flag and the City of Long Beach flag on the plaza of the Long Beach Civic Center as an acknowledgement of Black History Month.

For this episode, Greg J. contemplates the move and the significance of the flag in this space - a energetic topic in a city that is so diverse and touts its position as a progressive and diverse municipality. We contemplate the essence of the Red, the black and the green flying over City Hall.

I know one thing... Sistas standing on culture in City Hall and that's what's up.
