The unemployment rate for veterans dropped significantly last year to just over 5%, which sounds really good. But when you break down the numbers by race, the picture isn't as rosey for African American Veterans. In fact, according to the bureau of labor statistics, the unemployment rate among black veterans is more than double that of their white counterparts. On the next Another View, we'll explore why the numbers aren't adding up and what's being done to try and turn things around. Another View producer, Lisa Godley guest hosts and will be joined by Sharaya Martin, a former marine and recent college graduate who shares her personal story about searching for work, Patrick Sawyer, a Senior Consultant for the Department of Veterans Affairs and Willard "Smitty" Smith, the man who has run VetsHouse for two decades and has helped scores of vets find gainful employment.

If you are 50 years old or older and have high blood pressure, the goal is to get your systolic blood pressure number to 140 or below. Blood pressure of 120/80 is considered normal...or at least it was until the latest study done by the National Institutes of Health. The study, called SPRINT, found that blood pressure should be less than 120 to prevent the risk of heart disease, stroke or heart failure. On the next Another View on Health we talk with cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby about the study and what it means for the thousands of patients who struggle to keep their blood pressure under control. We also talk with Ms. Audrey Thomas-Tarboro who shares her personal struggle with keeping her blood pressure numbers low.

It was in September, 100 years ago, that the film "Birth of a Nation" opened at the Colonial Theatre in Norfolk. Birth of a Nation is still considered one of the greatest and most important American films ever made for how it influenced Hollywood's visual storytelling conventions, however, it also made popular devestating stereotypes of African Americans, particularly Black men, as foolish, dangerous, predatory and in need of being controlled or killed. On the next Another View, we'll talk about how the creative community came together to fight against these stereotypes through the arts. "Birth of an Answer" is a celebration of 100 years of African American creative responses to Birth of a Nation. We'll talk with Actor, Director and Producer Tim Reid; Van Dora Williams, Associate Professor of Journalism and Communications, Hampton University; and Sarah Florini, PhD, Assistant Professor of Communications and Theatre Arts, Old Dominion University.

In America, roughly 50% of all African Americans are obese, and 30% of all Caucasians are obese. Losing weight is hard, and bariatric surgery is now recognized as a sucessful treatment to lose weight and prevent serious complications of obesity like high blood pressure and diabetes. Yet according to a recent study, more Whites than African Americans take advantage of this weight loss option, citing lack of insurance and cultural differences as possible reasons why. On the next Another View on Health we'll discuss the pros and cons of bariatric surgery with David Salzberg, M.D, Director of Riverside Weight Loss Center. Join host Barbara Hamm Lee, along with co-host cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby for Another View on Health, Friday June 26 at NOON on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

Church in Charleston, South Carolina, sit with the pastor and members of a bible study group for an hour and then open fire killing 9 people?

After the riots ended in Baltimore in late April, a strange thing happened - Baltimore City Police apparently stopped policing. In fact, the month of May was the most lethal month in the city in more than 40 years, according to the Washington Post, with 32 shootings and 9 homicides over the Memorial Day weekend alone. Arrests are down more than 50% since the civil unrest - and according to at least one officer, "After the protests, it seems like the citizens would appreciate a lack of police presence, and that's exactly what they're getting". Police Commissioner Anthony Batts says his officers feel confused and unsupported following the charges filed against the six officers in the Freddie Gray case. On the next Another View we continue our discussion on the relationship between the police and the African American community with Virginian-Pilot columnist, Roger Chesley; NSU political science professor Carol Pretlow; community activist, Bill Thomas; and journalist, author and talk show host Wil LaVeist.
