George Clinton and P-Funk

In remembering the 60th anniversary of the vastly significant March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom that happened in August of 1963, Sabrina focuses on the artists forging and dreaming a way forward to a more equitable reality. This legendary March signaled the intersection of movements to demand civil and economic rights for African Americans. As the struggle continues, Sabrina celebrates the artists who use their strategies to create work, in this case, iconic songs and a collective vision to advance freedom and unity through Clinton's Funk concept of "One Nation". In this Trailer Talk episode, Sabrina shares the music and history of George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. 

What is WJFF - Trailer Talk?

Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk is a combination of live performance, community event and radio broadcast based in the New York's Catskills region. With her vintage 1965 Beeline travel trailer, Sabrina Arteltravels to festivals and events where she invites individuals to participate in what she calls a "public conversation" in a relaxed and comfortable setting. These conversations are broadcast live through speakers mounted outside the trailer, and many interviews are later aired on WJFF during the weekly program. The New York Times described Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk as "an unusual blend of theater, activism and broadcast journalism."
