On the next Another View...up close and personal with mayors elect Kenneth Alexander of Norfolk, and Donnie Tuck of Hampton. What are their plans for each of these urban cities? What kind of changes do they wish to effect during their tenure? What are their thoughts on how to end the violence plaguing both cities? How do they plan to decrease poverty, improve schools and attract new business?

It's easy to point fingers when there is a police-involved shooting of an African American male; in fact, police killings of young Black men sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. But how does it play when the shooter and the victim are both young black men?  There have been dozens of shootings in Hampton Roads, and hundreds nationwide and the violence has to stop. So what can each of us do to make a difference?  On the next Another View, the AV Round Table will talk about violence in the African American community and what we must do to save ourselves.  Plus, we pay tribute to The Greatest - Muhammad Ali!  Join Roger Chesley, Carol Pretlow, Bill Thomas and Wil LaVeist on the next Another View, Friday, June 10 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM.

According to Virginia Beach Public School officials, it is a "moral imperative to prepare ALL students to graduate career, colege and/or military ready". To this end, this school division leads the efforts to ensure "excellence through equity" not only in Virginia Beach, but among school divisions throughout Hampton Roads. Creating equity in schools addresses issues such as poverty, discipline disparities and underrepresentation of minority students in advanced courses. On the next Another View we'll talk about "excellence through equity" with the Superintendent of Virginia Beach Public Schools, Aaron Spence, Ed.D, and Rashard J. Wright, M.T., Ed.S., . Chief Schools Officer.

It's a fact - African Americans live sicker and die younger than any other ethnic group in the nation. There is a huge disparity in healthcare between Blacks and Whites, and on the next Another View we will examine why this disparity exists and what can be done to prevent it. We will also share clips from a new documentary called "The Skin You're In", featuring Another View's Round Table pundit Wil LaVeist as a principal filmmaker, along with filmmaker Thomas LaVeist, Ph.D., the William C.and Nancy F.

ZaKhari Waddy was 13 years old when he wrote a letter crying out for help from boys who constantly bullied him at school. Dejah Jones sadly took her own life as a result of bullying. According to a recent study, Black and Latino students are academically harmed when they fall victim to bullying. Children are being bullied on a daily basis, and everyone looks to the schools for a solution - but what can we as a community do about it? On the next Another View we'll talk about bullying - what it is, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to stop it. Our guests include Zettrona Powell, parent of a bullied child; Karen Eure Wilson, President, Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals and a parent of a bullied child; Dr. Ernestine Duncan, Psychology Professor, Norfolk State University and Jonathan Zur, Dr. Ernestine Duncan, Psychology Professor, Norfolk State University and President and CEO, Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities.

Governor McAuliffe restores voting rights to thousands of ex-offenders through executive order...a wave of shootings in Norfolk, including those involving police...and comedian Larry Wilmore uses the "N" word when referring to the President - just some of the topics to be discussed during this May edition of the Another View Round Table. Roger Chesley, Columnist, NSU professor Carol Pretlow, community activist Bill Thomas, and author, journalist and talk show host Wil LaVeist share wit, wisdom and insight into these and other issues facing our community, our nation and our world.

One of the criticisms of President Obama is that as the first African American president he"has not done enough for the Black community". It's a complaint made about many African American politicians, regardless of office, and particularly when it comes to improving the economic issues facing the Black community, such as unemployment, low property ownership, and slow entrepreneurial growth. On this special edition of Another View, we will explore the intersection of economics and politics, with Dr. Eric Claville, Assistant Professor and Director of the Hampton University Pre-Law Institute, and the co-host of the" Claville Report: Policy, Law and Politics", along with guest Allison Jones, Assistant VP for Virginia Governmental Relations with McGuire Woods.

We all know the obvious signs of child abuse when we see it...whelps from harse beatings, cigarette burns, starvation, a filthy living environment. But what about the subtle things...a disciplinary smack on the bottom, or yelling at your child when he/she does something wrong...is that also child abuse? And why is it that African American children are almost twice as likely to suffer from abuse than white children? On the next Another View we'll get some answers from Dr. Michelle Clayton, a child abuse expert with CHKD, and Natasha Knight, a child advocate with Portsmouth CASA. Plus, Lisa Godley tells the story of artist and comic book creator Kevin Roberts!

Chief Tonya Chapman is the new police chief in the city of Portsmouth. She's the first African American woman to hold the position. Her last job was Deputy Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security, appointed by Governor McAuliffe in 2014. She joins the department at a time of racial strife in the city, low morale among police officers and a murder rate that continues to grow. On the next Another View we'll talk with Chief Chapman about her speciality in community policing and her plans to make Portsmouth a safer place to live, work, worship and play.

Young African American men dying at the hands of white police officers. White police officers gunned down by African American men. Protests in the streets - the rallying cry, "Black Lives Matter"! Opinion polls stating the racial divide in America is growing. With this social unrest as the backdrop, Another View, along with our partners, the Virginia Wesleyan College Center for Religious Studies, and the Fort Monroe Foundation, will launch a new community initiative called "Race: Let's Talk About It".

The second topic in our Race: Let's Talk About It initiative addresses the controversial issue of "white privilege" - defined as "any advantage that is unearned, exclusive and socially conferred"

In our continuing efforts to educate our listeners about the process of politics and policy, we've started something new. It's called "The Claville Report: Policy, Law and Politics"

What does it mean to be African American? Does it mean that Black people are poor, unintelligent, lazy, criminal, incapable of raising a family? Does it mean, as is suggested in a recent Washington Post article, that Blacks feel pain differently than Whites, therefore are treated differently by medical personnel? Does it mean that genetically African Americans are superior in muscle mass and coordination, able to play sports better than those of other races? That all Black women are angry and all Black men are worthless? On the next Another View, we'll talk about some of the prevailing myths about being Black in America, myths that unfortunately continue to strengthen during this political season, with our Round Table pundits, Roger Chesley, Columnist, Virginian-Pilot; Carol Pretlow, Political Science Professor, Norfolk State University, Bill Thomas, Community Activist; and guest pundit Delceno Miles, Owner, The Miles Agency. It's all on Another View, Friday, April 8 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream u

The late Maurice White, lead singer of musical giant Earth, Wind and Fire, was diagnosed in 1992 with Parkinson's Disease. Muhammad Ali was diagnosed in 1984 and continues to live with this disease that has no cure. These are two prominent African Americans struck by Parkinson's - a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors, and often goes undiagnosed for years after its onslaught. Today there is no cure for Parkinson's, but there are medications to help with the symptoms and research to find answers about the disease. On the next Another View on Health, we'll talk about Parkinson's Disease with neurologist Dr. Carmen Fuentes, who specializes in treatment of the disease, along with Larry Dumville, a retired attorney with Parkinson's, and Don Bradway, Chair of the Advisory Board for American Parkinson's Disease Association, Hampton Roads.
