Sean tells us about wanting to become a kicker, how his ADHD helped his career, his relationship with Amos Jones, Dan Marino and Barry Sanders stories, how he entered the world of meditation and yoga after his playing days and writing his book, "The Point After: How One Resilient Kicker Learned There Was More To Life Than The NFL".
Melvin E. Edwards joins Texas History Lessons in this episode to discuss his book The Eyes of Texans: From Slavery to the Texas Capitol: Personal Stories from Six Generations of One Family. The book is available from Amazon. Email Melvin at edwards21228@yahoo.com. Follow Melvin on Twitter: @edwards21228 "Once you meet Isaac Bladen, you'll never forget him. "The Eyes of Texans: From Slavery to the Texas Capitol" is a 2020 Kops-Fetherling International Book Award winner (Bronze Medal) by Melvin E. Edwards, an award-winning newspaper reporter/columnist, and a former legislative speechwriter for long-time Texas Lt. Governor and Governor Rick Perry. Edwards' thirty years of genealogy research confirmed family stories that had been told for decades, exposed some that weren't accurate, and discovered details that had long been buried. These "first-person" accounts will capture your attention and take you on a drive-by of the past 200 years of American and Texas history. Isaac Bladen was born into slavery on a farm just outside of Washington, D.C., in a town that is named after the family that enslaved him. He and his Virginia-born wife, Elvira, ended up in Texas in 1844 as enslaved farmers in Leon County, where they had a daughter, Louisa, who eventually married Amos Jones. Louisa and Amos became the parents of Walter Jones. Louisa was born 15 years before the Civil War and died four months after the end of World War II at the age of 99. Her son, Walter, and daughter-in-law, Anna Thorn, had a son they named Orlean Jones. Orlean and Alma Logan Jones became the parents of Ella Jones Edwards, the author's mother. The Logans and the Bladens lived in the same county at the same time as early as 1856, though it would take decades before they crossed family lines when Orlean and Alma married in 1923. For more than 100 years, beginning in 1844, their ancestors lived in Leon County, Texas, as farmers and cowboys, before moving to Houston for a “fresh start.” Nearly two centuries after Isaac's birth in Bladensburg, Maryland, his great-great-great-grandson rose to a key role at the Texas State Capitol just two hours away from where Isaac was enslaved for most of his life in Leona. This is a story of Texas through the eyes of true Texans. From a slave in the 19th century to a governor's speechwriter by the end of the 20th century. It is a creative re-telling based on actual events and family stories." *2021 Best Book Award by AMG Indie Book Awards. * *Bronze Award Winner for Memoir/Autobiography in the 2020 Kops-Fetherling International Book Award competition.* The Texas History Lessons Theme song, Walking Through History, was written and recorded by Derrick McClendon.

The Browns sit at 1-2-1 at the quarter point of the season. It's not a great record, but obviously better than it has been in previous seasons for Cleveland. On this week's Cover 2: A podcast on the Cleveland Browns, Nate Ulrich explains why this is a disappointing start for the Browns. Here are some key topics we covered: - If Hue Jackson is any different this season after relinquishing the play calling duties to Todd Haley. - Why the hiring of Amos Jones could ultimately be Jackson's downfall. - If fan favorite Josh Cribbs could be looked at if Jones is let go. - The team's most surprising and disappointing players at the quarter point. - The strangeness surrounding safety Jabrill Peppers off the field.We also look ahead to Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. With Terrell Suggs and Joe Flacco, this is quite the test for Cleveland but they do have some hope for a win.
A lot has happened in the news since the Another View Round Table got together: Starbucks, Roseanne, the NFL on taking a knee, the Eagles uninvited to the White House, and Medicaid expansion in Virginia. All of these topics are either specifically about race or carry a racial undertone. Our pundits, Amos Jones, Bill Thomas, and William R. Brown, talk about race in America and why it matters…or doesn’t!
The Another View Round Table is back...this time with new voices. We'll discuss issues facing the African American community with Tim Seibles, Poet Laureate; Bill Thomas, Community Activist; William Brown, Real Estate Professional; and Amos Jones, Attorney.
On this edition of Another View, we gear up for our next "Race: Let's Talk About It" discussion - the topic this time is "The Talk"... the often difficult, but important discussion that Black and Latino families have with their children about avoiding confrontations with police officers. Our guests for this discussion include Dwayne Bryant, author of "The Stop" a book designed to improve police and community relations. For years, Bryant has shared his real life personal encounters with police, some humorous and some dangerous, to teach young people how to interact with law enforcement. Also joining the discussion is Amos Jones, Associate Professor of Law at Campbell University, who will share his personal narrative and talk about rights both during and after a police stop. We invite you to tune in on Friday, February 17th at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog. Then join us on Tuesday, February 21st from 6:30 - 8P for a town hall discussion at Fort Monroe Theatre, 42 Tidball Road, Fort Monroe, VA 23651. The town hall is FREE and open to everyone, but we'd appreciate it if you would register. Visit www.whro.org/TalkAboutRace to sign up.
Join Professors Eric W. Claville of Hampton University, and Amos Jones of Campbell University for complete analysis of the RNC/DNC conventions and where the race to the White House goes from here. It's the Claville Report on Politics on the next Another View.
You break the law and are convicted of a felony. You are sentenced and serve your time in prison. You are released. You find a job and re-engage in society. You are a full citizen....or are you? On election day 2016 1.4 million African American men, that's more than 1 in 8, will be unable to vote because of state laws that deny felons the right to vote. In Virginia, 25% of otherwise eligible Black men cannot vote. However, there is movement afoot in Virginia and other states to restore full citizenship, including the right to vote, to former felons. Joining us to talk about it is Levar M. Stoney, Secretary of the Commonwealth; Amos Jones, Associate Professor of Law, Campbell Law School and Corey Brooks, Director of Business Development and Community Affairs with Youth Solutions. Plus Lisa Godley brings us a profile of actress Angela Bassett. It's all on Another View, Friday, March 4 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

Amos 'n' Andy began March 19, 1928, on WMAQ, and prior to airing each program they recorded their show on 78 rpm disks at Marsh Laboratories, Orlando R. Marsh, owner. Initially, Gosden and Correll portrayed all the male roles. Between the two, they voiced over 170 distinct characterizations in the show's first decade. With the episodic drama and suspense heightened by cliffhanger endings, Amos 'n' Andy reached an ever-expanding radio audience. It was one of the earliest success stories of radio syndication, and at least 70 stations besides WMAQ carried the program using prerecorded records. Amos Jones and Andy Brown worked on a farm near Atlanta, Georgia, and during the episodes of the first week, they made plans to find a better life in Chicago, despite warnings from a friend. With four ham and cheese sandwiches and $24, they bought train tickets and headed for Chicago where they lived in a State Street rooming house and experienced some rough times before launching their own business, the Fresh Air Taxi Company.
Amos Jones and Andy Brown worked on a farm near Atlanta, Georgia, and during the episodes of the first week, they made plans to find a better life in Chicago, despite warnings from a friend. With four ham and cheese sandwiches and $24, they bought train tickets and headed for Chicago where they lived in a State Street rooming house and experienced some rough times before launching their own business, the Fresh Air Taxi Company. With the listening audience increasing in the spring and summer of 1928, the show's success prompted the Pepsodent Company to bring it to the NBC Blue Network on August 19, 1929. At this time the Blue Network was not heard on stations in the West. Western listeners complained to NBC, they wanted to hear the show. Under special arrangements Amos 'n' Andy debuted coast-to-coast November 28, 1929 on NBC's Pacific Orange Network and continued on the Blue. At the same time, the serial's central characters -- Amos, Andy and George "The Kingfish" Stevens -- relocated from Chicago to Harlem. Amos was naÃve but honest, hard-working and (after his 1933 marriage to Ruby Taylor) a dedicated family man. Andy was more blustering, with overinflated self-confidence. Andy, being a dreamer, tended to let Amos do most of the work. Their lodge leader, the Kingfish, was always trying to lure the two into get-rich-quick schemes. Other characters included John Augustus "Brother" Crawford, an industrious but long-suffering family man; Henry Van Porter, a social-climbing real estate and insurance salesman; Frederick Montgomery Gwindell, a hard-charging newspaperman; William Lewis Taylor, the well-spoken, college-educated father of Amos's fiancee; and "Lightning", a slow-moving Stepin Fetchit-type character. The Kingfish's catch phrase "Holy mackerel!" soon entered the American lexicon.

The basis for these characters was derived largely from the stereotypic caricatures of African-Americans that had been communicated through several decades of popular American culture, most notably, motion pictures.
Amos 'n' Andy was one of the most successful Old Time Radio Comedy programs lasting over 34 years. Freeman Gosden and Charles Correl starred as Amos Jones and Andrew H. Brown. Starting in 1926 and 1927 as the "Sam 'n' Henry" show, then renamed in 1928 as Amos 'n' Andy, they went on to incredible success and popularity. During the Great Depression, their audiences reached epic proportions in part due to their common, average Joe approach.
