I really enjoy this Noam Chomsky interview on automation and the structure of society, and find it highly relevant today.

It provide an interesting view on the late 60s to mid 70s in the US.
In the documentary "Black Power Mixtape" Kweli mentions that he's called in to chat with the FBI because he listened to Stokely Carmichael speeches:
"Carmichael’s words continue to resonate 40 years later, says Kweli, who was stopped in an airport after 9/11, by “the FBI, the CIA, and the TSA,” because the government knew that he had been listening to Carmichael’s speeches. What these agencies and other authorities who remain fearful of black power miss, says Kweli, is that Carmichael, a “fiery speaker, “was “just a regular dude.” Exhibit A, for Kweli, is the interview with Mabel Carmichael, where the son respects his mother’s strength and dignity."
