Hugh Ramapolo Masekela (4 April 1939 – 23 January 2018; R.I.P.) – Strawberries (from the 1998 album Black to the Future).
Strawberries, love tastes like strawberries …
The berries are gone and spring is here
but I know my love is always there
The rain has come with sun and haze
Love for the fresh strawberry taste
And when they’ve had the last ripe strawberries
Thats when my heart replies:
Strawberries, love tastes like strawberries …
We at San Diego Free Press love watching all kinds of video. Those short visual stories entertain, inform, and agitate in a way completely different from the written word.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
