About this listen

PHAT LIP! You(th)Talk Radio was founded in 1994 by Kwami Abdul-Bey, with input from his 7th grade social studies students at Henderson Junior High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, as a positive alternative in response to the HBO documentary "Gang War: Banging in Little Rock," after his student complained about the sensational media misrepresentation of their hometown. The mantra that his taught his students was:

"DON'T HATE THE MEDIA, BECOME THE MEDIA!"

    The PHAT LIP! Team discusses the ups and downs of municipal governance, as related to the City of Jacksonville, Arkansas, and its assumed ward-based voting structure. They ponder over why a few friends who are city council members, along with the few wealthy city residents boldly clinch to power while refusing to work with the rest of the city residents--who are predominately young and non-white--to create an opportunity for a more representative form of municipal government.

    GUEST: Dr. Trenika McCoy, member of the Jacksonville City Council who sponsored an ordinance to address the current citywide at-large voting structure
