This week on CounterSpin: The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia sent shockwaves through the political and media world; but for many the real shock was hearing a man eulogized as gracious and thoughtful who called the Voting Rights Act a “perpetuation of racial entitlement,” complained of the law profession’s “anti-anti-homosexual culture” and argued that mere “actual” innocence is no reason for the state not to kill someone. Paul Rosenberg is senior editor at Random Lengths News, and contributor to Salon and Al Jazeera English. We’ll talk to him about Scalia’s legacy.

Also on the show: Black History Month is a valuable opportunity to highlight unheralded contributions African-Americans have made to US society, but in many cases it’s become routinized and decontextualized. And, let’s face it, a little snippet on how George Washington Carver found many uses for the peanut just doesn’t match the moment—when black people are in a frontline struggle not to talk about history, but to change it. Enter Black Futures Month, a creative project of Black Lives Matter that uses art to spark conversation and reflection. We’ll hear from one of the people behind it: Darnell Moore, senior correspondent at Mic and co-managing editor of the Feminist Wire.

That’s all coming up but first we’ll take a quick look back at the week’s press, including Woodward on Scalia, Sanders on Kissinger and the growth of government.
