I have always liked to build bridges. Between people, between continents, between cultures. This Research Journal intends to do just that. To quote the great Gil Scott Heron in his album Bridges, released in 1977 with Brian Jackson: “Somehow, in even the most distant setting, the warmth and sincerity of the brothers and sisters we have come in contact with has made us feel at home. Music has been our common determinator, our vehicle, the mutual vibration that gave us a focus, but the ideas and spirit behind the music have been the adhesive and inspiration for continued attempts to communicate. There is a revolution going on in the world. We are very much a part of it and have a great deal to contribute to the force and direction of this revolution. There are many fronts within this struggle, many far flung outposts geographically isolated and distant from our mainstreams of communication. But everyone who struggles for a better life for oppressed people is an ally who could use any symbol of our concern and solidarity”. Coming soon...
