Mic Crenshaw

This week, we’re sharing an interview with 2 contributors an amazing history of anti-racist organizing in the late 1980’s through the mid 1990’s in Portland, Oregon, and with ripples across the so-called USA &amp; beyond. In 2020 KBOO radio released a serialized podcast which became the basis for the book. A brief intro to the book can be found below...

Crenshaw is an independent hip hop artist, respected emcee, poet, educator, and activist. Crenshaw is the lead US organizer for the Afrikan Hiphop Caravan and uses cultural activism as a means to develop international solidarity related to human rights and justice through hip hop and popular education. Crenshaw was a founding member of the Minneapolis Baldies and Anti Racist Action. He was a coproducer and narrator of the podcast version of It Did Happen Here. Moe Bowstern is a alum of the anarchist space in Chiacgo known as the @-zone that lasted from 1993 to 2003. She’s also a writer, laborer, Fisher Poet, and DIY social practice artist. Moe is the longtime editor of many publications, including the commercial fishing zine Xtra Tuf. She contributed to the writing of the book version of It Did Happen Here and lives in Portland, OR. For the hour, we talk about the book and podcast, the reach, the resonance to anti-racist struggle today in Portland and beyond. We also talk about the toll of the violence faced and engaged by folks pushing back the organized white supremacy of the day, police and institutional violence and other, related topics. If you would like people featured in this book to come and speak at your institution, you can reach them at ItDidHappenHerePodcast at gmail dot com, through PM Press, or via the IDHH instagram. This book was published by PM Press as a part of the Working Class History series. Another featured title in that series that was recently released was a similar documentary history with a really good narrative on the history of Anti-Racist Action in the 1990’s and early 2000’s throughout the midwest of Turtle Island, both in so-called Canada and the USA, and bits of other areas. Hopefully we’ll feature a chat with one of the contributors to that book entitled We Go Where They Go: The Story of Anti-Racist Action soon on this show. . ... . ..

"It Did Happen Here" with Mic Crenshaw and Moe Bowstern

In this episode I talk with Moe Bowstern about her project which asks the question: What does it mean to do community magic in a bar?We discuss the magic of asking questions a whole room of people answer from their unique place of expertise and whether a person needs special shoes to come play along (you don't). We explore the difference between intentional magic and common magic, our different experiences of childhood magic and how magic changes as it's handed down a shredded lineage. I cry a little bit about my dog Matty and Moe and I offer thoughts on how to find our way to trust.I love Moe and this episode. I hope you will too.

Stir The Pot with Moe Bowstern

Pat Dixon

Welcome to the FisherPoetry Podcast, a showcase of prose, poetry, and song written and performed by those in the commercial fishing community…mostly ;-) In this episode, our first in this series, we reached deep into the FisherPoetry archives to haul out one of my very first recordings from the FisherPoetry Gathering, an annual event that brings out a school of FisherPoets and their works. This is also one of my favorite stories and it’s fair to say that it’s the one that kindled both my interest in and love of Fisher Poetry. It’s a great story about two people, one at sea and the other ashore, sharing the events of their daily life. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did…and still do. Read by Pat Dixon and Moe Bowstern at the Wet Dog Saloon in Astoria, Oregon for the 2007 FisherPoets Gathering here's “Ship to Shore”. Enjoy!

Pat Dixon & Moe Bowstern-2007 FisherPoets Gathering-Wet Dog Saloon

Corey Arnold

A spectacular live show from the 21st annual Fisher Poets Gathering in Astoria, where a unique way of life gives rise to truly unique poems, songs, and stories. One writer describes Fisher Poets as "stories of immigration, indigenous oppression, indigenous wisdom, horrific sexism, of wanton cruelty to creatures of earth, of balance and respect for all life/ Fishing stories are abortion stories, life stories, love stories, hate stories, death stories. They are funny, sad, and stupid. They are timeless stories of the human experience, played out on the ancient backdrop of pulling sustenance from the bountiful sea."
