This week on From the Vault we present historical recordings on Haiti, where on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck that was centered very close to Port-au-Prince, the capitol city that now lies in ruins. Our first selection is from a recording of Jean-Bertrand Aristide from 1990, being interviewed just months before his election as President of Haiti. Then we feature a voodoo ceremony recorded with special permission by Pacifica producer Verna Gilles in 1975. Finally, KPFK host Margaret Prescod outlines the ousting of Aristide in 2004 on a special edition of the Sojourner Truth radio program.

From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.

This week on From The Vault we profile one of the great innovative thinkers and visionary geniuses of the 20th Century…. and the man who helped create the field of modern music: John Cage.

We invited KPFK Los Angeles’ Global Village music host and admirer of John Cage’s life and work John Schneider to help us navigate through some of the remarkable Cage recordings contained in the Pacifica Radio Archives, including the only known recording of his “45 minutes for a Speaker” performance. Schneider also introduces The Pacifica Radio Archive’s recording of John Cage speaking about his collaborations with artists such as Robert Rauschenberg (recorded in 1965 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art), and John Cage and Morton Feldman from a 1966 conversation recorded on Pacifica Radio’s New York Station WBAI.

For over two years, the same material used in our weekly From the Vault has also been featured on the BBC Radio 5 Live Up All Night program, allowing us to share Pacifica Radio Archives’ rich and diverse history with a UK audience. With this international outreach, we have shared many global voices and highlighted the political temperature of the time, with artist, activists, politicians, and those who would be otherwise unheard. Our BBC audience has been treated to the musing of comics such as Richard Pryor following the Attica Prison rebellion, and the late George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words.” They’ve been exposed to an alternative view of the Democratic National Convention riots back in 1968, and to the people who hit the road taking part in the Poor People’s Campaign. They’ve heard, too, the authentic voices of Noam Chomsky, Audre Lorde, Studs Terkel, Les Paul, and Che Guevara to name a few. In this episode of From the Vault we look back on some of the programs produced for the BBC, featuring this amazing tapestry of audio held within the Pacifica Radio Archives.

Earth Day was conceived by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1969 after taking a trip to California to observe the devastation caused by an enormous oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara. The idea was to organize celebrations around the country that would blend the presentation of academics, scholars, activists, and entertainment to concerns of worldwide pollution and inspire the cleanup of our planet. April 22nd, 1970 marked the first Earth Day celebrations across the globe– and at the festivities in New York City, Pacifica Radio was there. This week on From the Vault, we remember the first Earth Day by sharing with you historic recordings of the that pivotal day, recently restored and digitized as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.

We’ll begin with Pete Seeger from the Main stage at Union Square in Manhattan, singing with Reverend Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick. Then, a WBAI reporter with a portable recorder will happen upon Allen Ginsberg sitting in a lotus position holding a daisy amongst the thousands of Earth Day participants… later, Ginsberg would address the masses from the stage, as would Margaret Meade and Odetta. Finally, we’ll hear highlights from the day’s festivities, including organizers  as well as a representative from the Oil, Atomic, and Chemicals Workers Union.

In this episode of From the Vault, BBC collaborator Joanne Griffith visits Mumford High School in Detroit, Michigan, to help launch our Campus Campaign initiative, a new project designed to bring Pacifica Radio Archives’ historic recordings out of the vault and into the classroom. Mumford High School students, working with Joanne, create an original interpretation of these recordings using music of their choosing. The result is a surprising tapestry of emotions arising from students hearing these voices for the first time. Special guest include Mumford High School Principal Linda Spight, Mumford High School Social Studies teacher Tiffany Cox, Pacifica Radio Archives Director Brian DeShazor and students from Mumford High School. This special From the Vault owes its creation to songwriter, artist, and multimedia artist Allee Willis (www.alleewillis.com), Mumford High School graduate, and dear friend of Pacifica Radio Archives.

From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
