This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Dr. Claudine Gay, a widely esteemed scholar, made history as the first Black President of Harvard in the university's 387 years. Many saw her tenure as a step forward for diversity in higher education, but today, her resignation speaks volumes about the challenges Black women face in academia. Gay faced fierce backlash this winter over the school's statements on the Israel-Hamas War. A politically-motivated grilling in Congress followed by an organized campaign to attack Gay's credibility and intellect, led to her resignation on January 2. What does this all mean for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in education? In this timely installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press,” our monthly collaboration with URL Media, a network of independent media owned and operated by people of color, Laura is joined by co-host Amir Khafagy, labor and immigration reporter for Documented, which is a member of the URL Media network. We unpack the crusade against Gay, DEI and the lack of support that students and faculty of color, and especially women of color, receive from their universities. Also joining us are Zaire Dinzey-Flores, Professor and Chair of Latino and Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, and Jamiee Swift, the Founder and Executive Director of Black Women Radicals. Tune in to hear what the media got right — and wrong — about this story.“Academia is not an inclusive space. Academia is a hard place for many people, and we have to decide if we want institutions that are diverse and inclusive of multiple viewpoints . . . We belong and we contribute.” - Zaire Dinzey-Flores“There's a new age of McCarthyism taking place not only in academic spaces, but also media spaces. We're seeing reporters losing their jobs or being forced to resign if they have a pro-Palestinian stance. In academia, we're seeing regulations on campuses that say that you have to support Israel, almost like in the McCarthy era where you had to denounce communism in order to get a job.” - Amir Khafagy“If the university is supposed to be the marketplace of ideas, why are Black people and people of color's ideas, advocacy and activism always targeted, surveilled and pushed out?” - Jamiee SwiftGuests:• Zaire Dinzey-Flores: Associate Professor & Chair of Latino and Caribbean Studies, Rutgers University• Amir Khafagy (Co-host): Journalist, Report for America Member, Documented• Jaimee Swift: Founder, Black Women Radicals; Professor of Black Politics Full Episode Notes are located HERE.

In this episode of our “Inside Health Care” podcast, we hear two interviews that each demonstrate how close we are to solving the challenges of health disparities and digital transformation. Our first interview finds a real-life, “Last Mile” solution that will bring historically under-served populations to the health care services they need and deserve. Our second interview reveals how improved efficiencies in digitalization actually make it easier to add even more data – and more data crunching – into the mix. PHIT4DC stands for the Public Health Informatics and Technology for the District of Columbia Workforce Diversification Program. PHIT4DC brings together public health programs at two HBCUs—historically Black Colleges and Universities—namely, the University of the District of Columbia and Howard University. Together, these esteemed institutions train professionals from historically under-served neighborhoods in 21st-century IT knowledge and skills so they can return to their neighborhoods and give back to their communities.PHIT4DC trains PCMH professionals in order to send them to work in and support their hometown communities and neighborhoods. It's a powerful solution for bridging the gap in health equity provision. And it's probably possible to set up this model in any U.S. city. But, as you can imagine, it's no small feat. Dr. Mary Awuonda currently serves as an Associate Professor and Director of the Center of Excellence at the Howard University College of Pharmacy. In her directorship role, she helps the College advance its health care workforce diversification mission and student academic success initiatives. She is published in the areas of minority health, health disparities, health outcomes research and workforce diversification. Hannah George is a health care consultant with years of service across the health care industry. She's been a college professor/mentor for nursing students and director of nursing for multiple home health agencies in the District of Columbia. She's worked on multiple health care research protocols and served as senior clinical lead on multiple projects and initiatives. Hannah is certified in Project Management, is a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) and a Certified Professional in Patient Safety (CPPS).Digitalization ensures the safe and efficient transfer and parsing of health care data between providers. Patients benefit, clinics benefit, clinicians can spend more time with patients. And improvements in data transfer and parsing reveal more population data than ever before, which uncovers gaps in health equity. And with that population data, researchers can start to reverse deficiencies and ensure better health care for all.Josh Hetler is Chief Operations Officer at DataLink and an expert in the potential revelations of supplemental data. Josh has over a decade of experience developing software products for advancing value-based health care. At DataLink, he's held management, director and vice president positions, successfully building strategies that impact customer adoption and engagement. Josh was interviewed live and in person at NCQA's 2nd annual Health Innovation Summit, in October 2023 in Orlando, Florida.
We're thrilled to bring you an engaging conversation with Dr. Gregory Vincent, President of Talladega College. His story is one steeped in philanthropy and mentorship, born out of values his parents instilled in him during his upbringing. He shares how these values have not only influenced his personal life but also guided his professional journey. We delve deep into the history of affirmative action in higher education, drawing on landmark cases like the Bakke decision of 1978 and the Fisher vs. University of Texas case. Talladega College, a historic institution that's been open to all since 1867, serves as a symbol of social mobility and inclusivity. We wander through its rich history, paying tribute to some of its influential presidents. The emphasis is on their contributions to the college's philanthropic initiatives and how their efforts reflect Talladega College's commitment to inclusion and equity. As we explore the college's impact, we also unearth valuable lessons on creating genuine diversity that predominantly white institutions can learn from.As the conversation rolls on, we reflect on the power of strategic philanthropy, the importance of pride in one's alma mater, and the potential of board memberships to drive diversity. Dr. Vincent's inspiring story unfolds, highlighting the enduring influence of generational philanthropy and the role of faith-based institutions within the Black community. We also delve into the power of young people in movements and the efforts undertaken by institutions like Talladega College and Morehouse to empower the next generation of leaders. Join us for an insightful discussion on the intersection of philanthropy, diversity, and Black leadership.Support the show

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film, "The Intruder" starring Michael Ealy, Meagan Goode, and Dennis Quaid. The film follows a young married couple who buys a beautiful house on several acres of land, only to find out that the man they bought it from refuses to let go of the property. The random topic this week is all about a Black woman at the University of Southern California who started a Black majorette team, a staple of HBCU (historically Black Colleges and Universities) culture. The response has been somewhat divided between Black people being upset that she would create a normally HBCU style team at a PWI (predominately white institution) and others seeing no issues with a Black woman carving out a Black space for her and her friends at this PWI.

Dr. Vann R. Newkirk, Sr., a native of Elizabethtown, North Carolina, was named the 17th President of Fisk University by the Board of Trustees on February 15, 2021. He served as Fisk's Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs from 2018 until his Presidential appointment. Dr. Newkirk has an extensive leadership record with proven evidence of effectiveness on many levels. For instance, he has a 25-year career in creating innovative educational programs which, have enhanced enrollment, at each institution in which he was formerly employed. Over his career he also built and managed off-campus degree programs, enhanced sponsored programs productivity, and played major roles in the administration of institutional research and effectiveness. Newkirk has worked with organizations such as the SACS Consulting Network, the Capacity Building Institute of the UNCF, and the Patterson Research Institute. In these roles he led more than a dozen colleges and universities through initial accreditation or through reaffirmation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, or with the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. Finally, he has played important roles in improving institutional efficiency and in resource husbandry at institutions across the Southeastern United States. These efforts have required consensus building within each institution, inside institutional governing boards, and with state coordinating agencies. Newkirk's experiences have allowed him to build and maintain relationships with a wide variety of constituencies on all levels. A noted historian, Newkirk has written extensively on crime and punishment in the state of North Carolina. He is the author of the seminal work on subject, Lynching in North Carolina (2008), which won the Willie Parker Peace History Award for the best non-fiction study of North Carolina in 2009. Other publications by Newkirk include, “That Spirit Must be Broken: The Mutilation of Joseph Needleman and North Carolina's Effort to Prosecute Lynch Mob Participants During the 1920s,” Southern Jewish History (Vol.13, 2010), and “Washed Down in Blood: Murder on the Schooner Harry A. Berwind,” North Carolina Historical Review, (January 2014). An HBCU advocate, his book, New Life for Historically Black Colleges and Universities seeks to identify the challenges that Black Colleges face, explore the historic origin of Black college management systems, and identify models of success that will improve the long-term viability of HBCUs.

This episode I sit down with Julian Mocine-McQueen and talk about the art of storytelling. We discuss the importance and impact of a person's story and how it's Julian's passion to help people tap into that with his organization the Million Person Project. From running around the streets of Oakland, to traveling the world helping people find their voice and tell their stories. Meet Julian: Julian Mocine McQueen is an Oakland Ca. native raised in rural Northern California.He brings years of organizing, facilitation and training experience to his role as the co-founder, Training Director and Lead Facilitator for the Million Person Project. The Million Person Project exists to support leaders to harness the power of personal narrative to serve the most important movements of our time.Since 2011 they have worked with over 3,000 leaders from across the US and 71 different countries. The Million Person Project team has formed partnerships, coached leaders and facilitated trainings in Vietnam, South Africa, Uganda, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Turkey, and Brazil. In addition to his work with the Million Person Project ,Julian utilizes story to help organizations explore their relationship and commitment to justice and equity so that they may ensure their structures, norms, practices and culture are inclusive,safe and generative for all people. Prior to the Million Person Project Julian was a founding team member of Van Jone's nationally renowned green economy organization Green For All. His career is fueled by a strong belief in authentic movements that are powered by people. To this end, he co- created Green For All's College Ambassador program, which cultivates environmental leaders at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. And launched Green For All's Fellowship program, working to weave together and support the leadership of 135 seasoned organizers from all over the United States. In 2015, Julian was recognized by Huffington Post as one of “10 Leaders reshaping the Environmental Movement.” He and his Partner Heather Box were recognized as one of 16 projects to watch in 2016 by Grist, and Julian was a member of the inaugural “Grist 50” environmental change makers list. In 2019, he co- wrote the book, “How Your Story Set You Free,” published by Chronicle Books. He is the father to Roman, who is now walking...watch out!

Continuing my Traitor Tuesday edition of my podcast #8. This is another wild ride, and a little rage-y. I tackle the three major Fascist and Nazi related incidents spanning both Canada and America with biting commentary and editorializing in between. The Trucker Convoy out of Canada, and the incidents and anger of residents in Ottawa as the Convoy reaches the American border, and Canadian authorities and ha mostly hands off approach to the Occupation of Ottawa city, a major city in Canada with only 2 arrests. Then, 9 bomb threats phoned into 9 Black Colleges around the US in the past few days, as America announced Black History month. No bombs were found. Then, The Nazi groups flying Nazi flags, making the Nazi Salute, and even parading with a Nazi flag, entwining the US flag and the Nazi flag together. This happening in Florida, as the Governor of Florida's press Secretary tried to say she didn't know who they were, and may be Democrats pretending to be Nazi's The governor himself complaining that everyone was trying to blame him,and officials apparently stating that Florida doesn't tolerate Fascists. This in light of the fact that many of the Insurrectionists at the capitol attack were indeed from Florida, so there is clearly a problem. I make the case that all of these threads lead to one thing, and that is Fascism, and that people need to wake up and start accepting that it is happening. I quote 5 articles during the podcasts relating to these events. In the end, I ask for peaceful legal resistance, and for people to wake up to the existential threat that Fascism poses.Breaking news intro
Hiiiiieee Guys how are thou? I'm here and happy and hope u are as well. Ok first and foremost Happy Black History Month to All My Brothers and Sisters, Kings and Queens! Today's episode begins with some Black History facts that I'm sharing with u guys from an attorney I work with. In addition ironically with this being the first day of Black History Month, dozens of HBCU schools across the nation received bomb threats starting on Monday January 31 until Today. That's nasty and most definitely in my opinion gives a clear distinctive message when it comes to the hatred some people in this country continue to display towards African Americans sadly. Please forgive me also for referring to HBCU as HSBC. I meant no disrespect to any of our historically Black Colleges and Universities. Clearly I didn't get my education from one
What's up guys! I'm joined by Corey Arvinger, co-creator of the Support Black Colleges clothing brand, which encourages black people to attend HBCU colleges. Corey is a master of e-commerce business and social media startegy. And today, he's talking about black entrepreneurship and how to build a seven-figure e-commerce business. *** For more information on Anthony O'Neal please visit: www.AnthonyONeal.com Rate, Review, & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts "I love Anthony what he is doing with The Table" Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode # 132 - This WONDERFUL WOMEN WEDNESDAY we talk about Republican Lieutenant. Governor Winsome Sears. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica and immigrated to the United States at age 6. She served in United States Marine (thank you for your service). Now newly elected Republican Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, she becomes the First Female and Woman of Color in the office in the commonwealth's 400-year legislative history. As an independent voter, registered as a Democrat, I agree with many of the things she has said in the excerpts in this episode, especially when it comes to Black Colleges and Universities, safer neighborhoods and things concerning the black communities.

Shelter in A Time of Storm: How Black Colleges Fostered Generations of Leadership and Activism (University of North Carolina Press, 2020) by Dr. Jelani Favors fills the “missing pages” of history by highighting the enduring role that Black colleges have played in African American freedom movements in the long-twentieth century. Favors shows that Black colleges created freedom fighters whose organizing, dedication, and fearlessness made the Black Freedom Struggle's most pivotal moments possible. Favors also argues that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were fortified interstitial spaces for consciousness-raising and solidarity-building among race women and race men. HBCU students, faculty, and administrators were vital players in fashioning blueprints for Black liberation and ensuring the inter-generational transmission of resistance wisdom. Taking the long view and moving through a tour of Black higher education, Favors theorizes that a hidden second curriculum and a Black college communitas thrived on each campus, making them both seedbeds of racial justice and shelter in a time of storm. Amanda Joyce Hall is a Ph.D. Candidate in History and African American Studies at Yale University. She is writing an international history on the global movement against South African apartheid during the 1970s and 1980s. She tweets from @amandajoycehall. Learn more about your ad choices.
