- Description
- Karen Wilson-Ama'Echefu explains that her friend invited her to the Indigenous Peoples Day event as a singer with the Black Workers Center Chorus.

She speaks a bit about the change from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day, saying that Columbus had no right to be celebrated. She also notes the parallel between the duality of Malcolm X/Meridian Hill park and Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day. She ends the interview by performing her spoken word piece, "Baby Get Out and Vote."
