Friday, May 01, 2020:

Salon À la Mode owner Shelley Luther is daring City of Dallas and county authorities to arrest her after she opened her North Dallas salon last week despite city/county shelter-in-place orders. Shelley defied Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins’ order that put a closing to businesses that he deemed non-essential businesses. Shelley has raised questions about whether or not he’s overstepping the bounds. “All I know is he’s abusing his power… he’s got to be stopped somehow,” said Luther. She insists her stylists are making much needed money for their families and that the clients coming in are entering a safe, clean environment.

Joining in the second hour of today’s show is activist Larry Pinkney. Larry Pinkney is a veteran of the Black Panther Party, the former Minister of Interior of the Republic of New Africa, a former political prisoner and the only American to have successfully self-authored his civil/political rights case to the United Nations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. For more about Larry Pinkney see the book, Saying No to Power: Autobiography of a 20th Century Activist and Thinker, by William Mandel.
