"There's always been extreme pressure, periodically, because the government sees a legitimate, bonafide, committed press as being its enemy. And they're right, at least in theory. I mean, one of the things we're supposed to do is hold them accountable; to be a watchdog on the government. It's one of our chief roles." Les Payne
This post is in honor of Mr. Payne, who was a mentor to "The G-Man" and a staunch supporter of "From The G-Man" and "The G-Man Interviews".
The interview was conducted at Mr. Payne's home in Harlem, New York, on April 15, 2014. It was published on YouTube on April 22 of that year.
A correction: The photo used in this episode to depict the Soweto uprising was placed in error, and the mistake was not realized until well after the video had been completed and posted online.
In addition, Mr. Payne noted that.... "The South African police murderously cracked down on Soweto school children killing hundreds of Black children and adults. If anything, it was the South African police armed with thousands of weapons that went wild during the civil disorder in Soweto and elsewhere in 1976."
The G-Man Interviews apologizes to any viewers that may find the photo and caption offensive.
