Your Revolution - Sarah Jones

From a past #DefPoetry show.

After airing “Your Revolution,” a #SpokenWord #poem that critiqued #HipHop’s treatment of #women, a #radio station was issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture #NAL by the #FCC, which deemed the #poem #obscene. Jones attempted to sue the FCC which resulted in the removal of the NAL which would have fined the radio station $7,000. However, Jones’ case was dismissed. Yet, another case of #injustice against #BlackWomen who spoke out in public arenas.
