Another View The Radio Show Podcast

After the mid-term elections, what will be the tenor of our country? Will we still be divided politically, racially, economically?

Two southern families confront a shared legacy of slavery. Our special guest is Bill Sizemore, author of “Uncle George and Me,” the story of the two Sizemore families - one black, one white.

The title of this week's show may sound academic, but consider this - what we do as a society to interact with each other can and does affect our health. For example, if your doctor is not culturally competent, will he/she really understand that it's hard for you to eat fresh fruit and veggies on a daily basis because you may live in a food desert? What role does bias play for both the patient and healthcare professional during a medical visit? And what about technology in the healthcare field? What impact might electronic medical records have on your ability to receive proper care? We'll talk about these issues with Gary David,Ph.D., Associate Professor of Sociology at Bentley University, and President, Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology and cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, Friday, September 28 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM

50 years ago it was the most popular place African Americans on the Eastern Shore could go to hear good music, eat good food and fellowship without fear or violence.

Despite the perception to the contrary, African Americans are philanthropic - in fact, Blacks give more than 8% of their discretionary income to charity, more than any other racial group in America. Blacks donate 25% more of discretionary income than their white counterparts and nearly two-thirds of African American households give formally to charities to the tune of more than $11 billion per year. So why is the Black community perceived as a "taker" of charity rather than "giver"? On the next Another View we'll talk about African American philanthropy with Valaida Fullwood, author of "Giving Back: A Tribute to Generations of African American Philanthropists", Vivian Oden, Director of Donor Services with the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, and Nicole Cleveland, Annual Fund Officer for WHRO Public Media.

The Washington Post recently ran an article about two factory workers who were the only white people...all the rest of the workers were Latino. They talked about how isolated they felt, wondered why the Latinos were not forced to speak English, and what life will be like for white people as the country increasingly becomes more black and brown. On the next Another View Round Table we will examine the role of blacks in helping whites adjust to a new normal. Our Round Table pundits this month include Tim Seibles, Poet Laureate; Daun Hester, Norfolk Treasurer; Bill Thomas, Community Activist; and a new voice on Another View, Butch Bracknell, Attorney. Join us for the next Another View, Friday, August 10 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

From 1953 until 1970 Hayden High School was the only place for African American high schoolers to get an education - despite the ending of segregated schools in 1954. The school was named for education pioneer Della Hayden, daughter of a freed slave who graduated from Hampton Institute, taught in Franklin public schools for years before going on to become the first female principal at State Normal School (now Virginia State University); returned to Franklin and ultimately founded a small boarding school for Black girls, where she served as principal until her death in 1924. Living up to the rich history of its namesake, Hayden High School graduated some of the most prominent African Americans in Franklin. The building was approved in December 2012 for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register by the Board of Historic Resources and was placed on the National Park Service National Register of Historic Places in 2013. On the next Another View, we'll talk about the history of Hayden High, its legacy and plans f

One in three black men can expect to spend some time in prison during his lifetime. Compounding the problem is that African American men receive sentences that are 20 to 50 times longer than white men for the same crime. And for women there is no difference - Black women are more likely to be jailed than any other ethnic group. So what happens to the family when a loved one is incarcerated? What about the children? And when that person gets out, then what? On the next Another View we talk frankly about incarceration and the African American family. Our guests include Dr. Melvin Cotton, former inmate, youth mentor and Senior Pastor of New Genesis Baptist Church; and Quniana Futrell, CEO, Building Resilience in Communities, and author of "Our Moms", a book for children of incarcerated parents.
