Summary: Today on The Kim Brown Show: Hugo Chavez, the fiery and defiant President of Venezuela, died on March 5th from complications related to cancer. Mr. Chavez was no friend to the U.S. government, so consequently, the media coverage of his passing has been spate and insufficient. Admittedly, I also know little about the controversial leader, but it was this speech to the United Nations General Assembly in 2006 that made me a fan. My guest today is Jamila Aisha Brown. She wrote a brilliant piece for Ebony.com about Chavez's black and indigenous roots. I was expecting the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. to speak about attending the funeral of his friend, however, he had a scheduling conflict. This was a fascinating discussion and you will absolutely learn something about the African diaspora in Latin America.
