NEW YORK-In his revealing book, When the Walls Came Down, Ken Greene, former Assistant Director of Aviation at the Port Authority, who received that agency's Civilian Commendation Medal for his heroism on the day of the 9/11 attack, speaks out about life in America before, during and after the World Trade Center tower walls fell.
"A lot changed on that day," Ken recalls. "If only for a brief moment, the walls of prejudice, ignorance, and division came down. As we helped each other, no one cared about race, color or religion. We were simply people doing everything we could to assist one another through an unimaginable crisis. We all became true Americans.
However, since that timeframe, according to Greene, much of America has regressed to a pre-9/11 mindset, and a valuable opportunity to include and heal everyone's pain was lost. There's a reality that no coverage or commission can ever quite capture, and that's how the day's events and their aftermath directly impact those of us who were already and continue living a different reality from the mainstream."
While the attacks have since become the nation's most documented and discussed event, first hand survivor accounts of what happened on that day are rare. Even harder to find are media coverage of or accounts from an African American perspective. Ken's account, featuring a chilling, detailed moment-by-moment re-telling of the painstaking walk down the stairs, of being inside the tower when it fell, and of going back inside to help others, is one not many can tell. Few people who were inside the tower when it fell actually escaped. Ken Greene is perhaps the only such survivor with the Port Authority work experience, the background, historical information and ability to put the day's events in perspective to tell a truly untold story.
When the Walls Came Down is a riveting documentary, timeless historical account, enlightened observation and critical analysis of American life from a truly rare perspective. It's a personal story of heroism and triumph dealing with walls that existed well before that tragic day, and that for some, still remain. Yes, as a black man in corporate America, Ken Greene's September 11, 2001 began as any other day. By 10:28am, much more than the World Trade Center walls around him had crashed. But some walls just don't stay down.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: No Kill Date
The Rap on Reparations
Controversial Movement Finds a Hip Hop Soundtrack
Contact: Pam Riley PR at (212) 946-1445
New York--
Ever since the 1960s counterculture movement made it fashionable, music has provided the soundtrack for this country's political and social movements. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that as today's crop of new leaders joins the political and social fray (think Puffy's "vote or die" campaign and Russell Simmons' voter registration drive), that Hip Hop, the voice of today's counterculture, should find itself at the center . No one knows this better than a 28-year old, New York-based rapper known simply as Shakka. His single, Reparations Right Now , has caught the ear and attention of Reparations activists nationwide and is fast being adopted as the unofficial anthem of this controversial movement.
"When Malcolm X said freedom 'by any means necessary' he may not have had Rap Music in mind," says Shakka. "But anything, including music, can be a catalyst for change. And despite Rap's early start as a medium of political thought through the legacy of artists like Grand Master Flash and Public Enemy there now seems to be a vacuum in the music." It is this void---what he calls the "homogenization and genericizing of hip hop"--that Shakka feels is his mission to fill.
But why Reparations? Shakka believes that as a super-power, America is at the core of the global and political climate of this planet; slavery is at the core of the inception of America; and to effect any real change in the world, one must address the core issues in America. He adds, "Healing the damage to the descendants of the slaves that helped build this country, becomes important. Yes, Reparations is just one issue, but it's an important one and one that the Hip Hop generation can and should address."
Public opinion on the issue of Reparations varies widely depending on who does the polling and who is polled, and divisions seem to be drawn along racial lines. However, results of an unofficial survey on shakkamusic.com reveal more than 60% of blacks believe both a formal apology and monetary payment is owed African Americans from the US Government. A smaller percentage of whites believes the same.
Since its release, Shakka's single, featuring vocal delivery reminiscent of the late Tupac Shakur, has received thumbs up from hip hop fans nationwide. Pacifica Radio airplay first brought Shakka's music to the attention of Reparation activists who invited the artist to perform on the steps of the state capital. Shakka and his controversial music (other tracks on the CD include Free Labor Ain't Free, and Don't Call Me An American), have garnered solid across the country while helping define this new subject for Hip Hop focus.
In this age of political activism and outspoken celebrity partisanship, Hip Hop artists, entrepreneurs, and the community at large have re-entered the political fray providing both voice and vision on a range of issues and questions. As in the past, the answers may indeed be blowing in the wind. But this time around, positive change may come, to coopt Malcolm's famous phrase, if not by the bullet or the ballot..perhaps by the beat!

Shakka Music Speaks
Track Title: Black Gold --
"This is about people not knowing their true worth.
If you're not historically or culturally aware,
you can't be politically aware."--Shakka
Track Title: Reparations Right Now --
"The current generation of African Americans has
an obligation to vehemently secure that which is
owed to their national community. The issue of
reparations also provides the country at large
with an opportunity to speak to the professed
philosophy of inclusion and justice--a philosophy
it has yet to prove."--Shakka
Don't Call Me An American (my favorite song)--
"To Black America this song speaks to self-definition.
To White America it speaks to accountability.
There is a relationship between the two races
regardless of what we'd like to believe."--Shakka
Free Labor Ain't Free --
"In the slave trade, yes, Africans sold Africans.
But let's move beyond discussions of our culpability,
There's more than enough blame to go around for manner
in which the "free labor" was secured for this country.
Everyone's indictable.
But, in a drug bust, both the dealer and buyer go to jail."--Shakka
