Tavis interviews Tookie
Stanley "Tookie" Williams is scheduled to be executed by the state of California on December 15, 2005, unless its governor, Arnold "the Govenator" Schwarzenegger, commutes Mr. Williams' sentence or postpones his execution.
Does the Govenator have the moral courage to do either of the above? Probably not. But I'm not letting my pessimism stand in the way of what I believe to be a noble cause: sparing a man who has committed himself to redemption on a scale larger than what most of us can even imagine.
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is not providing adequate coverage on this story, nor is much of what is covered about it particularly inspired.
Fortunately, we can count on Tavis Smiley -- per usual -- to shed some much needed light and perspective on this matter. And Tavis and his production staff have asked me to share with you this short audio clip as a prelude to a longer interview with Mr. Williams that he will be airing on his new nationally syndicated radio show this weekend.
For those of you who want to share this audio vignette, please do so by copying and pasting the specific URL that will take you directly to the interview which I have provided below:
