Collection 1: This Land Is Ours - Produced for Independent Radio (all radio edits). 

Tape 1: Bobby Person - the first African-American sergeant at the NC Correctional Facility in Moore County who received death threats from the KKK. Date 1986. Cassette and CD Copy. Also on CD A. Raw version on tape 27. 

Synopsis: Person, the first black sergeant at a North Carolina correctional facility in Moore County, talks about his three year struggle to attain his position as a sergeant after enduring resistance from the Ku Klux Klan, his colleagues and his superiors. Despite job seniority, affirmative action’s laws in his favor and having the credentials required for the job, Person still struggled. Backlash also came in the way of bomb threats and attempts to professionally sabotage Person.

Tape 3: Growing shitake mushrooms in Western North Carolina. Date 1988. Cassette and CD Copy (2). Also on CD B (Raw version on tape 38?). 

Synopsis: Lawrence Moore explains the basic logistics of his shitake mushroom growing operation. Moore’s operation is the first of its kind in North Carolina, and he discusses why it is that some who have attempted to follow in his footsteps haven’t been as successful.

Dr.  Alan Haney, a professor of Math and Science, has spent some time studying shitake mushrooms. Dr. Haney addresses the good shitake harvesting can bring about, financially as well as environmentally for North Carolina and its tobacco farmers in particular. He runs through the directions the industry could grow from, including a heightened use by holistic and food vendors.

Toby Farris speaks on how he capitalized on the growing demand for shitake mushrooms when he founded the Carolina Agritech Corporation.

Tape 5: Preserving habitats - tell grass, apples, and farming. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Also on CD C. Raw version on tape 13. 

Synopsis: ~~TALL GRASS PRAIRIE~~ Price speaks to a variety of people, including Mike Weaver, on the issue of whether or not the tall grass prairie in Oklahoma should become a nature preserve. The Tribal Council for the Osage opposes the proposal on economic grounds and lays enough claim on the land to block any decision being made. Weaver is a part of the chamber of commerce and argues that granting the prairie preservation status would be economically stimulating for the area. Weaver and others speak on how tribal politics disenfranchise common Osage people.

~~APPLES~~ Dr. David Crowe, a pomologist, speaks on the work he’s doing in Nova Scotia, Canada maintaining an orchard of rare apple varieties for cultural preservation purposes. Price tastes some apples to have an idea of the qualities Dr. Crowe is talking about. Dr. Crowe also provides backstory for why this orchard is so important, referencing the move away from crop diversity during the Green Revolution. Due to the homogenization of crops, many varieties of apples have only persisted in seed banks and private locations, and the orchard takes on these forgotten varieties.

Tape 7: Land use and transportation in Marin County, California. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Also on CD. 

Synopsis: Price speaks to Jim Revoir and Gail Wilhelm about infrastructure and transportation in Marin County, California. Topics like the availability of home rentals and housing proximity to jobs are taken up. Easing freeway traffic and minimizing waste of energy are also addressed. While Revoir argues for very radical approaches to the issues, Wilhelm sticks to traditional “NIMBY”-esque arguments, as well as pointing out logistical oversights in Revoir’s plan. Architect Peter Calthorpe has no reservations concerning Revoir’s plan, but he stresses the importance of proper implementation and planning.

Tape 8: Seaweed harvesting and stewardship of the sea. Date 1989. Cassette and CD copy. Raw and radio edit. Also on CD A. Interviewees: John and Eleanor Lewallen (Seaweed), Nat Bingham (Offshore Drilling) and a member of the Center for Environmental Intern Programs (Environmental Internships).

Synopsis: ~~SEAWEED~~ John and Eleanor Lewallen talk about their edible seaweed company based on the northern Californian coast. The Lewallen’s touch on how they got into the industry, the rise of demand for the products and the ideology behind their business. Both are heavily involved in activism outside of the business and address the delicate balance they’ve struck to ensure neither aspect of their lives suffers.

~~OFFSHORE DRILLING~~ Offshore drilling for oil is being proposed off of the Noyo River in Mendocino County, California and local fisherman Nat Bingham addresses it. Bingham argues that sources of energy that were being looked into in the seventies, like methanol and hydrogen, would have left a much better ecological situation which wouldn’t have brought about the need for offshore drilling.

~~ENVIRONMENTAL INTERSHIPS~~ Price ties the preceding stories together by mentioning that they both feature people with livelihoods not directly related to environmentalism/ecology who still get heavily involved in it. Then, someone with an organization called the Center for Environmental Intern Programs is introduced, which helps students and recent graduates acquire jobs involving environmentalism. The internships are referred to as “associate-ships”.

Tape 9:Interviewees: John and Katie Hudson. Road signs and direct market farmers - how signage law adversely affects farmers dependent on signs for roadside stores. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Also on CD

Synopsis: This report focuses on highway signage laws and how they harm businesses located directly off of highways. Price speaks to John and Katie Hudson, owners of a California ranch, who have been adversely affected by the Federal Highway Beautification Act of 1965. The Act of 1965 aimed to get rid of roadside billboards. According to the Hudsons, the Act makes it difficult for small businesses to promote themselves in enough time for possible customers to turn off of the road.

Tape 11: Julian Price introduces a broadcast about Latino workers and the Service Employees International Union. Undated. Cassette and CD copy. 

Synopsis: Robert Hutchinson speaks to community activist Alicia Sanchez. Alicia talks about the work she’s done helping workers at a factory in Sonoma County, California. The mostly female workers unionized and have managed to make a lot of progress despite the many battles they have to fight.

Tape 13: The National Tall Grass Prairie Preserve, Indian rights and oil drilling. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Raw version of tape 5. (See info for “Tall Grass Prairie” on #8).

Synopsis: This is the raw set of material Price uses for the radio broadcast on the tall grass prairie in Oklahoma. The controversy surrounding the possibility of the prairie becoming a federal nature preserve feels more sensible with the unedited layout. Economics and states rights are topics consistently addressed.

Tape 15: Growing up on a Cherokee reservation. Date 1995. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: A member of the Cherokee Nation speaks on the tribe’s history and how it has adapted to a post-colonial existence. He references the trend throughout U.S. history of Cherokee being taken from their families and placed in boarding schools that focused more on assimilation into “American” culture than general education. He also sheds light on the progressive attempts at gender equality throughout Cherokee history, mentioning community councils made up of women who determined a lot of important policy.

Tape 17: Side A: Hans Bourkhardt. Side B: James Quinn, California Public Utilities Commission. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Price speaks to a man in rural California named Hans Bourkhardt who’s leading a life of self-sufficiency. Price seems to be very interested in what Bourkhardt has to say and the energy stays up throughout the interview. They discuss the railroad at certain points, as well as Bourkhardt’s son.

Collection 5: Pornography. 

Tape 19: Side A: Captain Talbot, Vice Department (possibly also Dorothy Bardolph and Phil McCaul). Side B: Phil McCaul, Citizens Against Censorship. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: The head of Guilford County, NC’s Vice Department Captain Talbot and Dorothy Bardolph speak on a newly adopted obscenity law in Guilford County. Captain Talbot states that as long as the law is on the books he sees no problem with enforcing it. Bardolph takes a stance opposing the law, one whose primary goal appears to be prohibiting the dissemination of pornography (not the more vague “obscene materials” as it’s presented on the books), not the possession of them. Bardolph believes the law has the potential to spread in ways originally unintended, and even derides fellow feminists who are willing to cede some rights for the chance to ban pornography. Price draws a parallel to the new law and McCarthyism.

Phil McCaul, leader of Citizen’s Against Censorship, argues ardently against the law and what he perceives to be a gross infringement on individual liberties. He mentions the change of heart seen in NC legislator Maggie Keesee-Forrester from support to concern after seeing the consequences of the laws passing. Ralph Speas points out how the enforcement of the law disproportionately targets homosexual and interracial pornography. Also noted by both McCaul and Speas is that even educators who use erotic materials as part of their instruction can be targeted by the police. A local video store owner also speaks on the loss of revenue he’s experiencing as a result of the law.

Tape 21: N.C. pornography laws. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Interviewees: Francis Holt and Corey Privett.

Synopsis: Local Guilford County citizen Francis Holt and state legislator and minister Corey Privett open the broadcast endorsing the new obscenity law. More information on the law comes out, including how the preceding obscenity law required a ruling by a judge before something could be deemed “obscene”. Additionally, with this new law convictions for obscenity violations changed from being misdemeanors to being felonies.

Tape 23: Side A: Dorothy Bardolph (unintelligible?) and Capitan Talbot. Side B: Ralph Speas, pornography, censorship and government intervention ; Sherri Love (unintelligible?). Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Similar material to #19.

Tape 24: Side A: Akos Szoboszlay and the lack of sidewalks in Silicon Valley ; Joe Crocker, Cal Trans. Side B: Julian Price painting over graffiti. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Akos Szoboszloy speaks on the issue of pedestrian friendliness in Silicon Valley, California. He advocates that, in addition to more bike lanes, there needs to be a massive project to disincentivize car use. Szoboszloy even calls for changes to zoning codes that require car parking spots for buildings, what he refers to as “subsidizing” cars. He also references studies that suggest transit usage will triple at workplaces when parking isn’t subsidized (still parking spots, just ones requiring a fee to be used).

Collection 7: KKK. 

Tape 26: C.P. Ellis who was a Grand Dragon in Raleigh, NC before leaving the KKK and working to improve segregation. Radio edit and raw version (2 tapes). Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Former Exalted Cyclops of the Durham, NC Ku Klux Klan C.P. Ellis recounts his evolution from fast-rising Klansman to Union activist. Ellis lays out why the Klan was so attractive to him and others like him. He also digresses occasionally and speaks on things like the Greensboro Shootout between the China Grove Klan and the local Communist Workers Party. This is a very in-depth account of Ellis’ personal journey shown through the arc of change shown through the causes he’s championed.

Radio Edit (on next CD): Starts a little later than the raw tape, otherwise the same.

C.P. Ellis (on a CD a little bit later in the stack): The Actual Part 2 to the C.P. Ellis interview. He continues his narrative, at one point mentioning his eldest son who took his change of heart as a betrayal rather than a metamorphosis. Ellis’ son is one on a long list of people to react negatively to Ellis’ new direction in life. Ellis also advocates town meetings as a good way to find lasting solutions to race problems within a community.

Tape 28: Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Date April 2, 1986. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Alabaman attorney Morris Dees talks about the legal gains he’s made through the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dees speaks specifically about his work against many branches of the Ku Klux Klan. He explains the five different eras of the Klan, including the current one which shares an element of secrecy also characteristic of the third era. The fifth wave is a sharp break from the more overt offenses of the fourth. Even prominent Klan figures of the fourth wave like Louis Beam are beginning to take on tactics more in line with the contemporary white supremacist trends. Dees also addresses the trend of large scale Klan operations thriving in localities where blacks are an insignificant bloc of the population and rarely in places like Montgomery, Alabama with black populations at or exceeding thirty-percent of the total population.

Tape 29: Side A: Herbert Jones – insurance companies taking over farms. Side B: Marty Strange – Center for Rural Affairs – farming and economic activity. Jones interview also on CD B. Date November 9, 1987. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Tape 31: Side A: David Lively - small organic farm co-op. Side B: Tom Forster – small organic farm. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: This is mostly a profile of the business model being used by Organically Grown. Organically grown is a farmer-owned co-op in Eugene, Oregon that facilitates easy borrowing between small farms and Arable (a loan service for farmers). Organically Grown’s ultimate mission is to expose the dangers of farming on non-arable land and encourage anyone, even the smallest of farmers, to embrace regenerative practices. Some of the farms even manage to merge organic and conventional farming methods.

Tape 33: Wallace Kaufman. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Wallace Kaufman continues speaking on what he sees as the virtues of capitalism, even though he acknowledges that it isn’t the most altruistic of ideologies. Kaufman says the way to make third-world countries more prosperous is to model their paths after those taken by the more financially wealthy countries in the world. Kaufman also praises entrepreneurs, calling them “heroes”. He says that labor unions were necessary at one point, but due to their successes they’ve rendered themselves obsolete in the eyes of the public.

Tape 35: Side A: Henry Voss, Farm Bureau ; Dr. William Liebhardt from UC Davis. Side B: Mark Squire, California Certified Organic Growers Association ; John Krekos, organic produce retailer. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: William Liebhardt talks about his work putting together information on the scientific aspects of sustainable agriculture for a database, as well as analyzing consumer attitudes toward food products. One of the things Liebhardt has observed is how, because of the negative connotation attached to the term “organic” in conventional farming circles, organic farmers will instead refer to their work as “sustainable”. Liebhardt also strongly advocates crop rotation.

Next Henry Voss in interviewed. Voss states that knowledge is the key to success in commercial agriculture. Voss expands upon moderating farming techniques in which farmers plow and till their land as little as possible and spray as few chemicals as possible. He also talks about the work being done by the Farm Bureau to educate farmers on chemical safety, including utilizing bilingual programs.

Mark Squire provides some market analysis, saying that although there is a specific “type” that is committed to eating organic, it is also a lifestyle shared by a wide range of people. He also talks about how he deals directly with less and less farmers; the more farmers that get organically certified the easier it is to just go to a third-party to verify the organic status.

Produce retailer John Krekos provides his thoughts on the importance of labeling all the organic products in his store. He says that he can’t feasibly make his store all organic because of a relatively low demand for organic products. One reason he cites for the lower demand is that many people buy based on looks not taste, and a great deal of the organic food doesn’t pop quite like the genetically modified varieties.

Tape 37: Side A: S. Subramarin, Social Integration and Community Development Association. Side B: Farmers market background ambiance. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: S.V. Subramanian speaks on the state of the Earth’s environment. Subramanian praises the work being done looking for alternatives to DDT and other herbicides/pesticides for developing countries. He also takes a global stance, stating that “pollution knows no national boundaries”. A point that is reiterated repeatedly is that only through motivating youth can the world be improved.

Tape 39: Allen Haney / Lawrence Moore, shitake mushrooms. Raw version of tape 3. Also on CD B. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Collection 9: Gun Control. 

Tape 40: Michael Castleman, crime free gun control. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Michael Castleman criticizes both overzealous gun-rights advocates and those of comparable intensity seeking limits on accessibility of firearms. Castleman presents statistics and sentiments that seem to discredit either argument while not really offering an alternative. Also lays the blame on “crime-prone young men”.

Tape 42: Side A: Dave Marshall, Sarah Brady – gun control. Side B: H. L. Richardson, California state representative. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Sarah Brady argues ardently for gun control policies, frequently appealing to ethos with references to the shooting of her husband, a White House press secretary. Although she advocates an across the board waiting period for firearm purchases, she reiterates that she isn’t for a ban on guns. According to Brady, the cultural attitudes toward guns are a little too “cavalier”. Another condition suggested by Brady for gun purchases is that first-time buyers must enter training on gun safety.

H.L. Richardson denounces the notion that semi-automatic firearms are a big threat to national safety. Richardson makes the that people who are anti-gun tend to not be educated enough to even know what is and isn’t harmful

Tape 44: Side A: blank. Side B: Del Masso, California state supreme court speaks about gun control. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Al Del Masso speaks on victim rights, specifically relating to their reach (or lack of reach) in the judicial system. Del Masso attacks trial lawyers, whom he sees as “the new fascists”. His biggest argument is steeped in the disillusionment experienced by many victims when seeking help from the justice system.

Tape 45: Side A: Freeman Horst – humans with nature. Side B: Rum Snodgrass – restorative forestry. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Synopsis: Freeman Horst discusses his work in environmental restoration. He speaks on the holistic benefits he’s gotten from placing himself in a role that requires an active relationship with nature and advocates it for others. Horst also talks about natural population control, using humans and salmon as an example of how it can be done well. In addition to direct human/natural relationships, Horst addresses the importance of not overtly disrupting natural habitats.

Rum Snodgrass has found a “sense of place” in a river he’s helping restore. Snodgrass, a Sanctuary Forest board member, addresses his commitment to natural habitat maintenance and private property rights. The issue of whether or not logging is ethical is addressed when Snodgrass defends logging (in an instance where the materials are used in a way that isn’t wasteful and is reverent).

Tape 47: Side A: Ambient and background sounds. Side B: blank. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. 

Tape 49: Agro-ecology. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy. Interviewees: A variety of people in the agro-ecological field.

Synopsis: Agro-ecological issues are taken up a variety of people in the field. Capitalism’s role in Green Revolution, and consequently U.S. agriculture, is taken up. The importance of perpetuating the market with organic products is also emphasized. Also addressed is the difficulty of fleeing conventional farming practices for more sustainable ones due to financial reasons and the conversion process necessary to get chemicalized lands back to conditions suited to organic agriculture.

Collection 11: Animal Preservation. 

Tape 50: Dave McCullogh speaks about humane animal rehabilitation. Undated. Cassette and CD Copy.

On track four the building’s longest enduring resident Donald Lee gives his opinion on the car wash.
