His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

I’m a black playwright. I don’t know exactly what that means. But I’m here to tell you a story.” And then Gardner puts on whiteface, as another actor dons redface to play an American Indian. There’s blackface too, so, as Jamedra says, if you’re not offended in some way, you’re not paying attention. Much of the play is Jacobs-Jenkins deconstruction of a 19th Century melodrama by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrehistory.com/irish/boucicault001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dion Boucicault\u003c/a> about the fate of a Southern plantation. But there’s also running commentary on what it’s like to be an African American on the American stage. Br’er Rabbit gets a part too, and just when you think it’s okay to laugh at the racist attitudes of characters from 160 years ago, Jacobs-Jenkins slaps you with an image or line forcing you to recognize how things haven’t changed very much at all.

I’m a black playwright. I don’t know exactly what that means. But I’m here to tell you a story.” And then Gardner puts on whiteface, as another actor dons redface to play an American Indian. There’s blackface too, so, as Jamedra says, if you’re not offended in some way, you’re not paying attention. Much of the play is Jacobs-Jenkins deconstruction of a 19th Century melodrama by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrehistory.com/irish/boucicault001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dion Boucicault\u003c/a> about the fate of a Southern plantation. But there’s also running commentary on what it’s like to be an African American on the American stage. Br’er Rabbit gets a part too, and just when you think it’s okay to laugh at the racist attitudes of characters from 160 years ago, Jacobs-Jenkins slaps you with an image or line forcing you to recognize how things haven’t changed very much at all.

"content": "\u003cp>One of South Africa’s top musicians — and an artist whose sound was known the world over, thanks to Paul Simon’s album \u003cem>Graceland\u003c/em> — has died. Guitarist, vocalist and composer Ray Chikapa Phiri was 70 years old. He had been battling lung cancer, and died early this morning in a hospital in the northeastern city of Nelspruit. His death was \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-40580246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> by a family spokesperson, Paul Nkanyane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internationally, Phiri was known primarily for his contributions to Paul Simon’s \u003cem>Graceland\u003c/em> album and ensuing tours; it was his guitar and arrangements that helped define the distinctly South African sound of the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtT7Og2LBbE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at home, Phiri was also celebrated as the co-founder of the influential group Stimela, a popular fusion band that melded smooth jazz with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.afropop.org/6406/the-zulu-factor/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mbaqanga\u003c/a>\u003c/em>: an energetic, rhythm-heavy genre that itself \u003ca href=\"https://grovemusic.github.io/Entries/S51740.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">married\u003c/a> local styles with jazz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmn3tOL2FuE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although \u003cem>Graceland\u003c/em> became famous around the world, it was an endeavor that came under heavy criticism at the time of its release, both in South Africa and internationally. Recorded in 1985 and released the following year, \u003cem>Graceland\u003c/em> was put together amidst the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/apr/19/paul-simon-graceland-acclaim-outrage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UN-approved boycotts\u003c/a> of the apartheid state, a position which had also been endorsed by Artists United Against Apartheid, an influential group founded by guitarist Steven van Zandt and whose ranks included the likes of Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen and George Clinton. (Its members recorded the anti-apartheid song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlMdYpnVOGQ\">“Sun City.”\u003c/a>) The recording project was also not sanctioned by the African National Congress (ANC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Phiri had a different perspective. In a 2012 documentary about the making of Graceland titled \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw6eTs8mw70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Under African Skies\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, Phiri explained his decision to participate in the collaboration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here I was, living in South Africa,” Phiri said, “and then here comes a particular individual called Paul Simon. For me, music is the closest thing to religion. And if it’s utilized in the right way, it can inform and bring people closer, and they can find solutions to their problems.

Recorded in 1985 and released the following year, \u003cem>Graceland\u003c/em> was put together amidst the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/apr/19/paul-simon-graceland-acclaim-outrage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UN-approved boycotts\u003c/a> of the apartheid state, a position which had also been endorsed by Artists United Against Apartheid, an influential group founded by guitarist Steven van Zandt and whose ranks included the likes of Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen and George Clinton. (Its members recorded the anti-apartheid song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlMdYpnVOGQ\">“Sun City.”\u003c/a>) The recording project was also not sanctioned by the African National Congress (ANC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Phiri had a different perspective.

And \u003cem>Graceland \u003c/em>did that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ANC, which is now South Africa’s ruling political party, released a statement today emphasizing not just Phiri’s talent, but his contributions to South Africa’s music industry:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“Ray Phiri was a voice for the voiceless and a legend of our time.
