The way this country treats foreigners in this is mind blowing and shocking. Their own citizens will reach KOTOKA and airport officials will forcefully ask you to give them something. If you refuse, they will open your luggage and check everything inside. I’m not sure they do same to foreigners. A country called Ghana 💔

This was a real question at the WH briefing. theGrio's April Ryan to KJP: "I had an in-depth conversation w/Stevie Wonder last night who is —[REPORTERS LAUGH]--AGAIN, IT'S A SERIOUS QUESTION — I had an in-depth conversation w/Stevie Wonder last night, who is...requesting a meeting w/the President. He's very concerned about the black agenda falling along the wayside and issues like laws of 50 years ago that are now being abolished or gutted, to include issues like the Voting Rights Act, what happened in Arkansas last wk, affirmative action — Supreme Court — as we've seen it, ban on books, and he's also even brought up issues of the Congo and the lack of information from the WH. Is the WH amenable to sitting down with Stevie Wonder who has met with presidents, um throughout history to include Ronald Reagan? He was one of the major impetuses for getting the holiday for Dr Martin Luther King Jr and also he was one of those who worked with President Obama in his efforts to become President. Is this President amenable to meeting with Stevie Wonder who has these concerns?"

In part 1 of this rare, understated interview from 1970, we catch a 20-year-old Stevie Wonder standing at the literal crossroads of his career. Just months away from his 21st birthday and his historic break for artistic independence, Stevie discusses his shift into production and his burgeoning collaborative spirit. It is a quiet, profound glimpse of the man right before he moved to New York City to build the "Classic Period" and change the DNA of popular music forever. Note his wit and unwavering confidence, the hallmarks of a visionary ready to claim his own narrative. Young Stevie also challenges the very definition of the word “Soul,” arguing that 'Soul' wasn't a racial category, but a depth of feeling, a '20/20 vision in the dark' that allowed him to communicate across the boundaries of sight and sound. "Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand." — Stevie Wonder
