 Rest In Peace Bro. Kody Ingham
(Sunrise 10/19/1994 - Sunset 7/14/2013)

"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."
~Frederick Douglass 
 "On Sunday morning July 14, 2013, around 7: 35 am central time, 18 year old Kody 'Pretty Boi' Ingham was discovered by his girlfriend hanging from a tree by a rope approximately 150 feet away from his girlfriend's home and driveway in Athens,TX...It was ruled a suicide but an investigation is still pending..."

Life After Death
With that said  W.E. A.L.L. B.E. News actually interviewed certain folks involved in the post-death narrative of the Kody 'Pretty Boi' Ingham story:

1.) Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt

2.) Hannigan Smith Funeral Home Director/Owner Will Traxson

 3.) Caroll-Leher Funeral Home Director

First Hour: Windy City Police State Blues...A Soldier's Story: Maj. Christopher Bonds Speaks

Greetings Brother Ron and Staff,
I greatly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to speak with me on this afternoon.

I am a 25 year Army Officer and recent Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom Veteran (Deployed April 2010-May 2011). 

 My goal is simple, to gain exposure of how my 4th and 8th Amendment rights were grossly violated.  

Would you consider doing a story or interview on the injustice that I suffered? 

I am not soliciting for any money or legal advice, just exposure of the facts.  Please read the attachments in considering an interview.

On June 28th, 2008 my Forth and Eighth Amendment Rights were violated.  I was wrongfully arrested for a crime I did not commit and endured over 20 hours of Police torture while in custody.

Only by thoroughly investigating the crimes of Civil Rights Violations committed nationwide and holding accountable those who authorized torture and dehumanizing treatment can we move forward and ensure that these abuses are not repeated.  

Prior to this Wrongful profiling and arrest, I had never been arrested or in any type of legal trouble.  I recently was deployed in Kuwait/Southern Iraq for a year serving  my country and protecting the rights of every American, even the Police  and the Cook County State’s Attorney that violated my Civil Rights and clearly subjected me to inhumane treatment.  

From June 28th  to June 29th of  2008 while being held at; The Chicago Police Department, Special Victims Unit (SVU), 737 East 111th Street, 2nd
Floor, Branch 35 Circuit Court of Cook County I was:

1)    Denied water and restroom privileges for over 8 hours.

2)    Handcuffed to a ring on a wall for over 8 hours.

3)    Denied any food for over 19 ½ hours.

4)    Questioned by a Detective without the presence of my Attorney.

5)    Maliciously prosecuted my case without probable cause (and did so).

 This case was dismissed on Nov 17, 2008.

I am currently fighting the City of Chicago and the Cook County State’s Attorney for the violation of my Civil Rights and the barring of my petition to expunge. 

Please refer to my website at http://majbondsvchicago.org

2nd Hour: The Zimmerman Verdict Reviewed

Featured Guests: 

Bro. Keith Beauchamp
Award winning Documentary Filmmaker & Host of Investigative Discovery's "Injustice Files"

Pic: The Meeting Of 2 Artivists Who Truly Document 'The Struggle': Bro. Keith Beauchamp & Bro. Ron aka r2c2h2 tha artivist 

Keith Beauchamp found his calling as a filmmaker through his documentary about the story of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who in August 1955 was abducted and tortured to death because he whistled at a white woman. Suspects were arrested for the murder, but they were all acquitted by all white juries. This story of a young boy, who was beaten, shot, and thrown in a river, ignited the early civil rights movement. Decades later, the case was re-opened by the FBI because Beauchamp uncovered new information, bolstered by his ability as a filmmaker to reach deep into the communities where these crimes occurred and connect with potential witnesses who otherwise might not come forward. Since his experience making The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till, Beauchamp has become passionate about seeking justice for these families and assisting the FBI by developing new leads for some of their unsolved cases from this troubled chapter in American history.
For The Injustice Files, Beauchamp combs through records; interviews family members, witnesses and investigators; and pieces together the known facts of each case. Beauchamp attempts to interview potential suspects and individuals who may know who was responsible for these murders, sometimes confronting them in their driveways after attempts to contact them for interviews prove unsuccessful.

Bro. Ron aka r2c2h2 tha artivist with the Honorable Judge D'Army Bailey 

Bio
 
Activist, politician, attorney, writer, columnist, public servant and jurist D'Army Bailey was born in 1941 and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. He attended Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, but was expelled from Southern University in Baton Rouge in the early 1960s for participating in demonstrations against segregation. He went on to receive his B.A. from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, and graduated from Yale Law School in 1967. After graduation, Bailey served as national director of the Law Students Civil Rights Research Council in New York from 1967 to 1968; as staff attorney to the San Francisco Neighborhood Legal Assistance Foundation 1968 to 1970; and as program adviser to the Field Foundation in New York from 1970 to 1971. Elected to the City Council in Berkeley, California, in 1971, he was ousted in a recall election after two years because of his controversial black nationalist politics. Bailey returned to his hometown of Memphis and practiced law from 1974 to 1990. In 1983, he began his fight to preserve the Lorraine Motel, the site of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination. Finally, after years of fundraising, Bailey's vision was realized in 1991 when the Lorraine Motel building was restored and transformed into the National Civil Rights Museum. Bailey became a jurist in 1990, when he was elected Circuit Court Judge in Tennessee's 30th Judicial District. Reelected in 1998, Judge Bailey continues to devote himself to the fight for civil rights. Bailey is an author, guest speaker for universities and civic organizations, and has been seen in the films The People vs. Larry Flynt, How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Mystery Train. Judge Bailey lives in Memphis with his wife, Adrienne, and two sons, Justin and Merritt.

About Graffiti Rock
In 1984, I, Michael Holman, was successful in producing and broadcasting the first ever, nation-wide, Hip Hop variety television show, Graffiti Rock. The show featured Run DMC's greatest televised performance ever (of "Sucker M.C.'s"), as well as Kool Moe Dee and Special K of The Treacherous Three, The New York City Breakers, and a studio dance crowd that included the likes of young Vincent Gallo (Buffalo 66, Brown Bunny) and Debi Mazar (Goodfellas, L.A. Law, Entourage).

“Graffiti Rock was an incredible show... Michael Holman was a genius.” ~ Debi Mazar (on Jimmy Kimmel Live)

Soon, it will be the 30th Anniversary of the airing of Graffiti Rock and through your contributions, we will re-master the 1 inch broadcast video tape of the show (on to DVD) as well as produce a new, feature length film called Graffiti Rock: The Untold Story. Graffiti Rock: The Untold Story will be an in-depth documentary that captures the memories and reactions of today's Hip Hop celebrities to first seeing Graffiti Rock, and how it impacted their lives. The documentary will also capture the "behind the scenes" making of Graffiti Rock, as well as my own personal experiences and accomplishments as a Hip Hop Pioneer, helping to introduce Hip Hop Culture to New York's Downtown Art Scene and eventually to the rest of the world.

“Whaasup? Graffiti Rock's the first RAP Show on TV that's what's up. Michael Holman doing his Don Cornelius with Run DMC and Kool Moe Dee years before Yo! MTV Raps dropped. Super FRESH on your own box - now check it.” ~ Charlie Ahearn (Director Wild Style)

Along with the 30th Anniversary release of Graffiti Rock, combined with Graffiti Rock: The Untold Story documentary, we will include in the DVD package:

Never-before-seen footage from my private, Hip Hop video collection, including: the first Hip Hop film ever made, Catch a Beat featuring Crazy Legs and the Rock Steady Crew; and rare, unseen, local, New York cable Hip Hop television shows from 1982, featuring DJ Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Jazzy Jay, Fab 5 Freddy, Doug E. Fresh, Grand Mixer DXT, DJ Jazzy Joyce (first female Hip Hop DJ), K-Rob and the New York City Breakers.

In addition, some of the incentives to pledge support to this history making project are: a signed vinyl recording by Kool Moe Dee of a remix of the Graffiti Rock theme song; limited edition posters and T-shirts; a reproduction of a Graffiti Rock Press & Production Kit (including loads of historical documents, flyers, etc.); opportunities to spend time with me in New York City in a social and educational capacity; and the chance to be personally credited in both Graffiti Rock, The 30th Anniversary Edition and Graffiti Rock: The Untold Story.

“Graffiti Rock is the Soul Train of Hip Hop.” ~ Ricky Powell (photographer)

With your help and support - and with my experience and skills as an award-winning filmmaker & television producer, with national broadcast credits, as-well-as the creator, producer and host of Graffiti Rock itself - the Graffiti Rock 30th Anniversary Edition will be an important contribution to Global Pop Culture, as it educates, inspires, and entertains Hip Hop fans worldwide.

GRAFFITI ROCK PRESS:

Genius Rap (by Syd Caesar, May 12, 2002): “Graffiti Rock captures a classic period of Hip Hop history. A quarter century after its creation, this special is even better than it was back then. It's doubtful that Michael Holman knew how timeless his show would be, but he created something that may outlive us all.Nuff respect due.” 

Time Magazine (by Wook Kim, Feb.,2012): “Top 10 Music TV Shows:Graffiti Rock…an urban-flavored music show that would do for rap and street culture what Soul Train did for R&B, funk, and soul.” 

Rap Genius (author, date N/A):“A live cypher from the extremely short-lived (one episode!) but hellaimportant 1984 TV show Graffiti Rock. …hellaimportant…” 

Dangerous Minds (by Ron Nachmann,June, 2011): “Before Yo!MTV Raps and Rap City hit the markets in the late ‘80s, New York culture maven Michael Holman first made the move to put hip-hop culture on TV with the show Graffiti Rock.Graffiti Rock proved a legendary snapshot into what hip-hop TV was about to be. What a shot in the arm it would have been for the culture.” http://dangerousminds.net/comments/graffiti_rock_hip-hop_breaks_into_americas_living_rooms_in_1984

Old School Hip Hop (author N/A, Jan. 7, 2010): “…a blazing performance from the one and only Run DMC clad in their all black leather outfits. They perform “Sucker M.C’s”alongside Jam Master Jay. This show is for the die-hard hip-hop fan. A true hip-hop and television classic. It makes you think back to when corporate America was hating on this culture that was still in its prime. This show is really ahead of its time and there is no other show like it.“

And The Best Is Yet To Come!!!
