Interview with Rosa Clemente

Rosa Clemente was one of many presenters at the 2011 National Conference on Media Reform (NCMR) held in Boston April 8-10.  Clemente, who considers herself a proud “black Puerto Rican radical,” made it clear to other NCMR attendees that she dances to her own beat and doesn’t care who likes it.  As she mentions in the video, following House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s keynote speech at the conference, Clemente and six others in the audience got up and screamed “stop the war!”

“Nancy Pelosi is a war monger,” Clemente said on a panel on hip-hop and media reform.  “She comes here and says she supports free press, but Bradley Manning is in jail.  I had to get up and say something.  This is what I call hip-hop.”
