My conversation for the moment is now preserved for as long as time permits within the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. This StoryCorps interview with Charles Douglas III, recorded recently in Selma, Alabama — just before we headed to Washington D.C. for the presidential inauguration as part of a new documentary project — is *alive in the archive.* (My first documentary, Independent America: The Two-Lane Search for Mom & Pop was collected by the Library several years ago.)
This initiative of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Michael Jordan’s Black Community Commitment in partnership with Alabama Public Radio, offers an uniquely searcheable synopsis, replete with eye-catching keywords:
“Colleagues Hanson Hosein and Charles Douglas III sit down for a conversation about their shared commitment to giving back to Selma. They discuss their views on the future along with topics like American politics, AI, voting rights, and the driving force behind their desire to serve others.”
“Black Panther Party” “Community Building” “Inspiration” “Learning Tours” “Mentor” “Politics” [Charles-related keywords]
“Existentialism” “Future” “AI” [Mine, obviously]
It’s a fast-paced, provocative listen from two guys who insist upon life on the front lines .
