Audio and Video Selections

This page will link to selected audio clips of some of my creative performances and interviews..  More audio and video will be available with the completion of my ebook, "A Libation for Sakia and Other Poems." Completing that project is one of my goals for 2006.

• "Marty." (5:02, realmedia file) April 11, 2004. Unity Fellowship Church-New Brunswick. This was part of an Easter Sunday church program dramatizing the passion of the Christ. Our pastor,  Rev. Kevin Taylor, asked the members of the creative writing ministry, Spirit Scribes, to portray someone from the Bible who might have been called as a witness at Jesus' trial -- someone who had a direct encounter with Jesus. (It's his voice that you hear in the beginning of the clip.) I chose to play the man who had laid at the pool at Bethesda for 38 years.  As a person with a disability, it was an opportunity to offer a testimony about the power of grace and healing.
• "Constructing a usable African-American past: the power of multimedia:" remarks at the What Price Freedom? The Centennial Celebration of the Niagara Movement in Buffalo, New York featured a screening of Tales of the Underground Railroad: On the Erie Canal. There were several speakers in this one-hour program, along with the screening. I begin speaking about 28:00 minutes into the program.

 

Audio Bytes from Professor Kim's News Notes

[Note: these are experiments with Audioblogger, a technology that allows interviews to be recorded over the telephone and posted to the Internet. These sound bites couldn't be edited, so every glitch and overrun is recorded. I'm gradually learning to do these interviews more smoothly, so please bear with me. However, I am grateful that I was able to capture some very interesting insights from the people who have been kind enough to talk to me.]
