Oregon's 2019 Student Success Act established Student Success Plan grants to address educational disparities and promote success among historically underserved students.  These grants support programs tailored to improve educational outcomes for specific student groups, including African American/Black, Native American, Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Funding through these grants will be allocated to a variety of vital resources, including student mentorship programs, summer school programming, and engagement events that bring students, families, and communities together to build meaningful connections.  The grants also provide critical support for social, emotional, and mental health services, specifically designed to serve and uplift Black, African, African American, Latino, Indigenous, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students.  HSD is pleased to announce our SSP awards for 2024-2028, which total more than $3.1 million: Many thanks to the staff members who worked hard to secure these grants, which will be used to implement initiatives that promote equity, increase student achievement, and create inclusive, supportive environments where all students can thrive.  Our featured student is Liberty sophomore Violet Howard. Her health education teacher Stephanie Fink shared an amazing story about how Violet put her learning into action and saved a man's life. The class recently completed their Injury and Safety Prevention Unit, which included training on how to perform CPR. During a practical exercise, Violet shared with Ms. Fink that she had to use these skills in a real-life emergency over Thanksgiving break. While driving with her mom, she witnessed a man collapse on the sidewalk. With remarkable composure, she pulled over and assisted her mother in calling 911. Violet bravely performed CPR on the victim, who was purple and not breathing. Thanks to her quick thinking and training, the man began to regain color and even started breathing with a weak pulse before medical professionals arrived. Outstanding job, Violet! You are a shining example of what makes us Proud to be HSD! This will be the final Hot News issue in 2024! Hot News will return with students after winter break on Monday, January 6, 2025.

Drs. Ashira Blazer and Denise Kimbrough discuss the recent removal of the African American/Black race coefficient from the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). Learn about the implications for lupus patients with kidney disease and the potential impacts on health equity. Episode Takeaways: Lupus-related kidney disease (lupus nephritis) disproportionately affects African American/Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, South Asian and Latino/a populations, who face longer transplant wait times due to systemic inequities and social determinants of health. Biases in medical algorithms, such as race-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculations, can harm patient outcomes. Recent removal of race from eGFR calculations could potentially improve access to transplants for communities where previous opportunities for transplantation were significantly lower. Enhancing education and awareness related to kidney health is essential for addressing these health disparities and improving outcomes.

One of my students, his name is, Brian has an amazing, amazing, amazing story. One of his biggest things I want to show people is how to take that dream and put action behind that dream. But anything that you want to do you have to work for, it's not going to be just given to you. Some people are outliers where it is, but we don't live in an outlier society where 90% of that is happening. So think about your dream, the purpose behind your dream, know that there's going to be order behind that dream in order for you to really commit to it. Once you commit to it, there's gonna be a lot of white noise around you. But you have to learn how to treat that as surface level things and aim high. If you ever need resources, there are people out here for you, such as Black Boy Heal and other community resources.

Today Mike challenges us all to remember.  Remember the horrors of Slavery.  How is it possible that seemingly educated people in authoritative and powerful positions, can conclude that African American/Black people, Latin American/Hispanic people and other people of color, do not want or need every possible conceivable earned advantage, to eventually become fully equal?   It can only be bigotry and racism or idiocy.  Sincere overthinking perhaps?!

Updated: 7:01 a.m. Markus Krueger wants to bust a myth about the history of Fargo-Moorhead. "There arose this myth about us that isn't true, that everybody here was white for so long, up until year X. And that wasn't true," said Krueger, programming director for the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County. "We had a thriving African American community for the first 50 years." "This was a part of local history that we hadn't delved into before. And it's about time,” he added. A new exhibit curated by the society focuses on the history of this long-overlooked group of early residents. Black communities and other BIPOC communities have a history in the area that hasn't been written down or documented well, said Gabby Clavo, communications manager for the Clay County Museum in Moorhead. “Collecting these stories is really important, so we can tell this story for future generations.” Courtesy North Dakota State University archives Frank Gordon quickly reopened his barbershop in a tent after a fire destroyed much of downtown Fargo in 1893. Some of the first non-Indigenous people to settle in Fargo-Moorhead were Black. Many were barbers attracted to new railroad boom towns in the late 1800s. "That profession happened to be what drew a lot of the first Black families to Fargo-Moorhead in that original generation,” said Krueger. "White men thought that it was the height of luxury to be able to get a shave and a haircut and get a bath drawn by an African American barber, by a tonsorial artist, they called them," said Krueger. Learning the stories of those early residents was a challenge. “For some people, we know almost nothing except for names,” said Krueger. “And then you find out about Julius Taylor, and Julius Taylor was a barber in Fargo in the 1880s. And then he left in 1889 to found the Broad Ax, which was Chicago's first African American newspaper, so we know a lot about him.” They learned some details by painstakingly tracing family histories. “We know that Frank Gordon was a barber who ran for (Fargo) city alderman in 1900. He didn't win, and he and his family eventually moved out to the West Coast. His grandson is actually world famous jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon.” Much of was was learned about the early Black families came from The Appeal, an African American newspaper in St. Paul that tracked social happenings across the region including Fargo-Moorhead. "They describe in detail the parties that are held by the families they call “the elite”, and these tend to be the barber families," said Krueger. A notable resident discovered in the newspaper pages was Lottie Adams, the daughter of an 1880s barber family. She was a colorful figure and because only one photo of her could be found, the museum commissioned a Moorhead artist, born in Nigeria, to paint her portrait. "She's always organizing a party or there's a party being organized for her because she's visiting St. Paul or Grand Forks or Duluth,” said Krueger “She is one of the queens of the social scene in Fargo in the 1890s." Courtesy Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County The Horton Adams family in a photograph from the 1890s. Adams was one of several Black barbers who opened businesses in Fargo Moorhead in the late 1800s. The researchers found even getting an accurate count of early Black residents was difficult. The Black population of Fargo-Moorhead might have reached 200 by 1900, but Black families were often listed as white in census records. Clavo said decisions about identity were complicated, and obscuring their race might have been a necessary choice. "Because it could endanger their businesses, their safety,” she said. “And so we did see that researching some of the people in this exhibit. So safety was a big part in choosing what to identify as, and identifying as white was probably the safest option." By the 1930s most of those early families had left, lured away by economic opportunity and larger Black communities in the Twin Cities or Chicago, or perhaps driven away by the rise of a local Ku Klux Klan movement in the early 1900s, also documented in the exhibit. Krueger said Lottie Adams moved to the Rondo neighborhood in St. Paul, as did many other Black residents of Fargo-Moorhead. By 1965, when Yvonne Condell moved to Moorhead as a college professor with her husband, a psychologist and jazz musician, she recalls only one other Black resident. "I was fascinated by the fact that one could come to a town that was so unlike places we'd been before, Florida, Kentucky and Georgia,” she said in a recent interview. “So it was quite an experience to come to a town where you were persons two and three." The Condells taught at Minnesota State University-Moorhead, and they helped recruit students of color to the school. Yvonne Condell is an advisor to the Historical and Cultural Society on this exhibit, and she was struck by the history of Black barbers in the 1800s. Courtesy Rick Henderson Minnesota State University Moorhead Professor Emeritus Yvonne Condell served as an advisor to the Stories of Local Black History exhibit. Condell and her husband James, a psychologist and jazz musician, moved to Moorhead in 1965. Their story is part of the community's history. "For example, African American barbers could cut white men's hair. Okay, no problem. When the reverse came, when our students came, we had to find a way to get their hair cut because all the barbers at that time were white barbers who refused to cut black folks hair,” recalled Condell. The Black community remained small until the 1990s when immigrants from African countries began to resettle in Fargo-Moorhead. Krueger said the population has grown steadily in the past 20 years, and while the communities are still mostly white, according to the 2020 census, about 8 percent of residents in Cass County, (Fargo) and nearly 6 percent in Clay County (Moorhead) identify as African American/Black. The exhibit also discusses recent history, including the 2018 election of Johnathan Judd as Moorhead's first Black mayor. Judd is now a Minnesota district court judge, but he was mayor when George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis, and in the aftermath, he challenged local residents to have difficult conversations about race. Moorhead's Judge Johnathan Judd: Welcoming tough conversations about race "We need to embrace the fact that we don't like having tough conversations that might cause us to think internally about how we view things, because we're not about expressing our vulnerability," he said in an MPR News interview in July of 2020. "During the protests, he said that our community has to start having conversations about these questions,” said Krueger, “I'm hoping that this exhibit can maybe be part of that conversation.” “Contributing to those uncomfortable conversations,” added Clavo, who expects the exhibit to make some residents uncomfortable. “But you know, to learn you have to get uncomfortable." Clavo wants this exhibit to spark conversations across the community, perhaps generating new stories about race and history the museum can collect, creating a more complete local history story for future generations.

In today's episode, Shaunna and Lisa discuss what it means to hold up a mirror to up to the millisecond judgements we make about other people. Using the recent (unwarranted) critiques of Coach Syndey Carter's outfit at a Texas A&M basketball game, Shaunna and Lisa discuss what “professionalism” means in sport. The critiques of Carter's attire are embedded in histories of racism and sexism and again illuminate the double standard women are forced to manage. Negative comments are directed at individuals often because they are perceived as not to belong. Entering a space that has previously excluded a person based on their identities exposes them to baseless and shallow critiques. Despite qualifications and talent, encroaching on the power of white men who have largely dominated coaching and other professions for an eternity, is a threat. (Another point of reference for this is the nomination of an African American/Black woman to the Supreme Court in the U.S and the white response to it). Since attacks cannot be based on qualifications and track record, detractors look elsewhere - their body, their attire, or their personal lives. Tune in to learn more about these realities and struggles and why each of us needs to be better at disrupting our long held and learned assumptions about who belongs where.   Support the podcast and use our sponsor codes!

"Separated by less than a month (Boseman on August 28th and Ginsburg on September 18th) and both due to gastrointestinal cancers (Boseman had colon cancer and Ginsburg had pancreatic cancer), the situations of Ginsburg’s and Boseman’s deaths is emblematic of the racial disparity in American health outcomes. Boseman was African American/Black and was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer at the age of 39 while Ginsburg was Jewish/White and fought three separate primary cancers of different stages in multiple bouts – colon, lung, and pancreatic – starting at the age of 66." Adeel Khan is a hematology-oncology fellow. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Chadwick Boseman: a tale of two cancers in America."

I'm here with Malik of Malik BookS. Hello, I'm executive director of Oak Tree View Park Windsor Hills Preschool at Slauson in Angela's Vista and here we're I mean I'm a former english teacher full disclosure. So this is like being in heaven. You know just sitting around and talking about books, and so for black history month um I didn't necessarily want to just talk about history books but I just wanted to go through some selections that you recommended. This is a great time the great moment. This month although we need it for 365. I mean if you black you, you black for 365. So your history is 365. Yeah you can't be black just like today. No, no, not at all not at all but, Malik Books this is our growth of me wanting to share what I discovered in books with our community because if it changed me i just felt that it changed others it would change other people for the better you know and so if you love yourself you love your neighbor. Yes. And so I think that collectively um if we love each other by first start loving ourselves you know I think books gotta contribute to that and I think image and how we view ourselves have a lot has a lot to do with the books that we read. Yeah, like it's interesting you talk about it in terms of self love but I look at in the preschool and and elementary school space not so much once we get to middle and high school because the assumption is that kids will have a solid sense of self-esteem but in those younger years we do this thing called Maslow's hierarchy and one of the the lowest things is like psychological security and knowing that you're okay is that knowing that and I think that's something that. People don't understand when we talk about trauma and repeated trauma is when you see people who look like you are traumatized, then you start like as a small person you internalize that so imbuing a sense of worth kind of balancing some of the scarier things that kids may hear or see because you know I try to buffer kids from some of the realities of the world not shield, not sugar coat, but make sure that we had like a little bit of a buffer so that they can get into that that psychological security without worrying, and I think books are a great way to do that. Absolutely, that remind me of this one book that just came out called Black Magic and the the the subtitle is what black leaders learned from trauma and triumph and so we all have experienced that being black. We experienced both trauma as well as triumph because uh we've overcome a lot of things and our blackness has overcome whatever adversities they were put in front of us and so we have all of us have shared experiences, um and the thing is you can overcome whatever cards you're dealing with it and that's what resilience is, and that's one thing I know about black people I know one thing for certain is that we are resilient.

Too many words to express how much I enjoyed the dialogue with the good brother, Temi (IG @ ViewsFromACap). We start off discussing the identity challenges non-African-American Black people face(ed), especially as children. Temi expressed the importance of research and history in finding himself and a balance between being Nigerian at home and Black in the U.S. We follow-up discussing my fears (and others) about Hip-Hop becoming whitewashed like all other music genres Black people have pioneered. We close out with Temi discussing being on the verge of suicide three times and finding that it wasn't his purpose to end his life at those moments. Temi discusses finding his passion for photography through his last experience, the importance of self-healing, balancing creativity with life to free himself from depressive states, and the importance of moving forward. Lastly, Temi shares the story of his current fitness journey. And we discuss the importance of finding a healthy journey to invest in yourself today for tomorrow.

Dr. Bettye Haysbert joins the show to discuss her new book, “Liberating Teaching and Learning: Turn it Upside Down and Watch African American (All Learners) SOAR !" In the interview she explains how the education system needs to change from a European structure and model. Majority of African American (Black) students are not learning about themselves in the classroom. Black students are often taught that European Americans are the only one’s that have contributed to this country, and that is a form of racism. Dr. Haysbert believes students and teachers can work together to change the curricular; if they let go of their controlling methods of educating. Don’t miss this enlightening and informative conversation. You can purchase her book at Amazon.com. The book is available in paperback and on Kindle.

Corporate America,  If you're going to hire or promote an African American/Black professional or anyone for that matter, make sure that they've been put through a fair and equitable process like everyone else. Your employees can tell that Joe is a "token hire", and will most likely NOT take him seriously. Your motivation for hiring decisions is key. Sincerely, Dr. Brandi

#011 - My heart is heavy this week with all that has been highlighted related to racial injustice and the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor…. and the millions of other lives over the centuries taken by racist acts. This week, I talk about why I do antiracist work and why you should, too. Racism is associated with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other serious, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders. The stress caused by racism can contribute to the development of cardiovascular and other physical diseases, including dementia. Here's a peak inside the episode:I share surprising statistics on disparities in health and health care due to racism. If the statistics on disparities related to maternal mortality rates for African American women don't compel you to be anti-racist, you may need to check your pulse.There is a mental health toll to having experienced racism as an African American person. Learn more about this toll here. Learn more about health care disparities as they relate to older African American adults and dementia.The New York Times published an article recently on the striking racial divide and how COVID-19 has hit nursing homes. The problem is not race, it's racism. I share my personal reasons for doing anti-racist and anti-oppression work.I challenge you to consider your role in reinforcing oppression and racism or consciously fighting against it. What will your role be? By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of the impact of racism on the health and well-being of African American/Black individuals and families and you'll be challenged to think more deeply about the role you play in race dynamics.As a Psychologist, I stand against racism and hate in all its forms, and I support the efforts of researchers, clinicians, teachers and policymakers to eliminate hate crimes, police brutality, and oppression.Check out the show notes here!

This current pandemic has created an interesting dynamic for caregivers and their families. Children who are caregivers are now taking on some of the same anxieties associated with caregiving. They are worried about their parents, trying and taking on tasks to keep them at home, and in some cases, take on their caregiving tasks to keep them safe too. There are an estimated 40 million American adults providing support with basic functional, household, and medical/nursing tasks to help individuals remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Of these 40 million family caregivers, about 1 in 4 are millennials. The latest numbers reveal that millennial caregivers spend an average of 21 hours a week taking care of their loved one(s). More than half of Millennial family caregivers are African American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian American/Pacific Islanders. Dr. Charlene James-Piper is the Executive Director of Student Academic Support Services and First-Year Students at Texas Southern University. She also belongs to this growing group of young caregivers. She, like her mother, AARP Texas State President and podcast host Charlene Hunter James, knows the faces of traditional caregivers have changed.

Mack, Tep, and Chef Rock are back at it again. This time they are discussing how the 2020 candidates are all pining for the black vote, as there is an argument to be made that the African—American (Black) electorate is the most sought after for the Democratic Party. They have an in-depth conversation discussing how black folks should be wary of the messages and agendas the 2020 candidates are pitching and discuss how indeed we hold the nominee accountable should they actually win the election.

In today’s episode of Obsessively Outspoken, we review Spike Lee’s new joint, ‘BlacKKKlansman’. The movie is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, an African-American police officer who infiltrates the Klu Klux Klan by responding to an ad in the newspaper. We speak on which parts of the film were memorable and had most relevance to the times we’re living in today. I list my top 5 Spike Lee movies of all time along with a letter grade review on ‘BlacKKKlansman’. Later in the episode, we dig deep and discuss the topic of Tribalism. We're impelled to ask ourselves the questions...What makes us tribal? Is it human nature or taught behavior? There are a plethora of tribes around the globe, but today we try our best to enumerate all of the subsets of tribes that exist in the African-American/Black community. Most importantly, we debate whether or not tribalism is helping or hurting us as a society and what can we do now to unify all human beings as one tribe. Enjoy!

Carefree Black Nerd Season 2, Three Part Finale: “The Captain Americas” Issue 28: This issue focuses on The FIRST Captain America, Isaiah Bradley CBN Season 2 | Issue 28 | Isaiah Bradley A character whose original concept came from an offhand comment by Marvel's publisher, Bill Jemas, Isaiah Bradley has more than proven himself worthy of the title “The First Captain America.” His history is rooted in what many of us can relate to today: working twice as hard as our white counterparts just to be seen as half as good. Bradley is a national treasure. He’s depicted as a legend in the Marvel universe in the African American community as well as the [African American/Black] super powered/hero community.

This is part one of two sessions with Neli Moody. Neli's wealth of knowledge about African-American / Black poetry is extremely exciting. Consider these podcasts mini lectures. They're seriously a wonderful treat. Neli Moody is a poet and writer of short stories, essays, and plays. She is a retired university composition and creative writing teacher. Her work has been published in Reed Magazine, Brick and Mortar Review, Konch Magazine, and the Adirondack Review. She won many prizes while in the M.F.A. program at SJSU. Her eclectic interests including: many forms of dance (jazz, ballet, African, hula, and modern), language (French, Italian and Hawaiian), music, art and cooking inform her work. Her journey into her own multi-racial history via the natural world is at the core of her writing. It is the desire to know her origins and her love of the music of language that drives her poetry. An essay on architecture and poetry on the work of British poet Richard Berengarten, “A Syntax of Stones: Pretext, Edifice and the Sacred Space in Richard Berengarten’s Avebury” in the Salt Companion to Richard Berengarten. Her most recent collection explores the racial, cultural, and historical complexities and paradoxes of American identity.

Casey Grant, who served 35 years with Delta Airlines, was among the first of the African-American flight attendants.  In this interview, she shares a sampling of the trials and tribulations that were endured, the trails that were blazed and the bridges that were built. She also tells us how to obtain her book "Stars in the Sky" to get the full story about these amazing flight attendants as well as other African American/Black "firsts" in aviation.

Casey is from Brooklyn, New York. At the time of his interview, he was a third-year college student in New York City and was spending his days “either studying for my economics exams, at the movies with my girlfriend, or just hanging out with my friends.”Casey's Most Likely To Is: "Most Likely to Follow His Own Path"Casey talked about the moment in his childhood when he realized he was “somewhat different, personality-wise”, and how his outlook on life has changed over the past few years.He spoke about some of the people he follows on social media, and we concluded our conversation with a discussion about the potential future effects of the resurgent prominence of African-American / Black-centered entertainment and art.-----------------------------------------Intro Theme Music: "Chega Para Mim" by AbJoSee photos of our guest, and pick up your copy of the companion book at https://classofhc.com/ep26-casey/Join the conversation on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Nd2H1C and on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Z4jPggThanks for listening!

I'm ending off June with an absolutely amazing interview with design educator Silas Munro. Over the years, Silas has collaborated with some huge names in the art world, such as MoMA, the Walker art Center, and GOOD. (He even taught one of our previous guests on the show -- Ariana Farquharson!) We spoke a lot about design education and pedagogy, touched on diversity in the field of design vis-à-vis competitions like ADC Young Guns, and explored the notion of an African-American/Black design aesthetic. I love his idea that designers can operate along several different modes of creativity, and his work is living proof of that. It's an exciting time to be a designer thanks to people like Silas!

He is a Sheriff that is swirling in controversy. His duplicated resources, Allegations of Domestic Violence and interfering with a Police invetstigation along with accepting gratutities for favors (rolex watch) Additonally, he has spear headed a series of botched back firing witch on LVMPD first and only Black female Lieutenant by charging Lt.
