Welcome to episode 15 of season 5 of the I Am Black History podcast brought to you by InTheBlack:Canada (ITBC) and DeeP Visions Media. In this episode, I continue my conversation with Jane Braithwaite. Among other things, Jane talks about being a Black occasional teacher in Fenelon Falls and finding teachable moments when students asked about her skin colour. She also shares memories from the Port Dalhousie Emancipation Day Picnic.

Hey ya'll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 111 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"What Are You Waiting For?” Lot's of people are in (or preparing to enter) what they're now calling the “winter arc.” As we begin to approach Q4 of 2026, it's time to think about all of the things we want to accomplish and the strategies that we will use to be successful (both individually and collectively). This episode encourages us to think more deeply about what it means as a community. Only those hiding under a rock have missed conversations around Nikole Hannah-Jones' article about the decisions she and her husband made related to her daughter's education. I wanted to share with you my thoughts both as someone who works in education and as someone who studies the history of Black education in the United States. Here's the secret, she's certainly not the first person to reach similar conclusions and we owe her the grace of understanding the historical context within which her decision was made. I'll use Ryan Clark's new Pivot sports show to discuss what I think many of us should be doing right now, and I'd love to hear your take on it. As a matter of fact, I'd love to hear what you think about all of these ideas. And, if you're really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast. Send me an email at drtip@tellemtiptoldyou.com. After you tune in, let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a 5-star review and if you're interested, here's the website for the Shine Program: www.shineprofessionaldevelopment.com.. Take care of each other so we can build together. #tellemtiptoldyou For more on Tellemtiptoldyou (the podcast on Black History, Black Spirituality, and Black Culture, be sure to follow Dr. Tip on Instagram (@tiffanydphd) and TikTok @tiffanydphd).

Slave Reparations Case Oral Arguments - U.S. Court of Appeals - 194842-1-DVD - 2006-09-27 - The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Farmer-Paellmann v. Brown and Williamson, a case involving slavery reparations. The oral arguments were audio only with a still picture of each speaker shown on the screen. Madans and Pell argued against slave reparations. Wareham, Afran, and Ratliff argued in favor of reparations. This case centers on whether the predecessor companies of J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, and 18 other corporate defendants extended loans to slave owners using slaves as collateral and if the predecessor companies of major insurance agencies, such as Aetna and Lloyds of London, wrote life-insurance policies on the lives of slaves with slave owners as the beneficiaries. Deadria Farmer-Paellmann was the lead plaintiff in this case seeking to create a trust fund for the descendants of slaves. This case was dismissed by a U.S. District judge earlier in the year. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs had no standing and the statutes of limitation had run out. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only.

Playwright and critic Bonnie Greer was a frequent panellist on programmes such as Newsnight and Question Time where she took part in one of its most contentious episodes. Kirsty spoke to Judith Antell who was Bonnie's agent and friend for over 20 years. They discuss how Bonnie's father being stationed in the UK during World War 2 shaped her view on the country; the surprising backlash Bonnie faced after appearing on a 2009 edition of Question Time with the then leader of the British National Party, they also discuss the project Bonnie was most proud of in her later career. Jeremy Thomas was a film producer whose 80 plus films ranged from the Oscar Award-winning The Last Emperor to the hugely controversial 'Crash'. He also produced wartime drama Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, the gangster thriller Sexy Beast and the adaptation of William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch. Mark Cousins wrote and directed “The Storms of Jeremy Thomas” which documented his eclectic career. He tells Kirsty how through his films Jeremy "wanted to dig deeper into human life, his films are about the biggest questions". (Please note: In the introduction to this item we incorrectly stated that Mark was the producer of 'The Storms of Jeremy Thomas'. Mark was the writer and director.) Wendell Berry, the Kentucky farmer and environmental campaigner who warned for many years of the excesses of industrial society. As a writer, he published hundreds of essays, poems and more than forty books. Wendell argued for most of his life that small-scale agriculture was essential to the preservation of the land and culture. Writer Paul Kingsnorth has been reading Wendell's work since the 90s and recently worked with him to compile a series of his essays into a book. He discusses Wendell's philosophy to farming, the environment, the wider community and how they are all intrinsically linked together. Wendell famously never owned a computer and only wrote with a pencil, which presented challenges, and unexpected joys, for Paul when editing the book. Frances Stonor Saunders was a historian who exposed secret CIA attempts to manipulate public opinion through popular culture during the cold war. Her 1999 book 'Who Paid the Piper' was hugely successful and groundbreaking in its work. It was said that it "single-handedly established a new branch of sub-history" and is to be republished in 2026. Frances' brother Alexander Stonor Saunders explains how she was able to uncover the range of CIA activities, they included the production of an animated version of George Orwell's Animal Farm.Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Ed Prendeville Assistant Producer: Ribika Moktan Researcher: Jesse EdwardsARCHIVE: Conversation Piece, BBC Radio 4, 01/12/1988; Start the Week, BBC Radio 4, 28/06/1999; The Food Programme, BBC Radio 4, 25/08/2002; Fast Food Nation, BBC Film Network, 03/05/2007; Question Time, BBC One, 22/10/2009; Front Row, BBC Radio 4, 09/12/2010; Belief, BBC Radio 4, 31/12/2010; GMT, BBC News / World News, 21/11/2011; The Film Programme, BBC Radio 4, 16/10/2014; My Food Hero: Ella McSweeney Meets Wendell Berry, BBC Radio 4, 24/08/2015; Front Row, BBC Radio 4, 29/07/2024; Era of Reclamation (Ep. 1: In Search of Black History), British Museum

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we're taking a closer look at criminal justice—through the lens of abolition, accountability, and the power of the creative arts to tell fuller, truer stories.  This week we'll explore how artists like Akinsanya Kambon bring histories of colonization and liberation to life—connecting past and present in ways that demand we rethink punishment, justice, and repair. Subscribe to Laura on Substack Description [original release date September 2025]: With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Kambon was a member of the Sacramento chapter of the Black Panther Party where he worked on the layout and illustration of the party's famous paper and became lieutenant for culture, illustrating among other things the party's ten point plan and works for young people. In 2023, he won the prestigious Mohn Award — the top prize given by the Hammer Museum for his participation in their biennial “Made in LA” show, titled Acts of Living. His one-man show opened in Beverly Hills at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in April 2025. An exhibition of his work will open at the New York Sculpture Center in May 2026. In this unique conversation, Flanders asks Kambon about his own survival stories, including his polio diagnosis, getting drafted into the Vietnam War, and his year on death row. Kambon was arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer and was later acquitted from that high-profile Oak Park Four case. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive, and catch Flanders' commentary on today's fight to control our nation's stories. “Art educates the masses of people. Not Black or white or Asian, this educates the masses of young people to our struggle, to how long they're struggling and how it's connected.” - Akinsanya Kambon “I thought of myself as an artist even when I was a child, because art was therapy for me . . . I used to always seem like I would always take the side of the underdog.” - Akinsanya Kambon Guest:  Akinsanya Kambon, Artist, Former Marine, Black Panther & Art Professor Special thanks: Cynthia Wornham, Annie Philbin, Marc Selwyn Fine Art    Additional Credits: Additional Crew:  Marco Amador, Producciones Cimarrón  Clips from the documentary short- "Akinsanya Kambon The Hero Avenges," Produced by The Hammer Museum;  Directed by Gabriel Noguez and Sean Rowry.

For more than a decade, the STEP Ladder Tutoring Program has been helping middle school students in Kewanee and Wethersfield strengthen their academic skills, build confidence, and prepare for success in high school. During a recent interview on Wake Up Tri-Counties, Etta LaFlora, Executive Director of the Sunshine Community Services Center, discussed the program's history and its continued importance to local students. The STEP Ladder program began with a simple observation. A friend of LaFlora's who was teaching at Black Hawk College noticed students struggling academically and wondered when those difficulties began. That conversation led to the creation of a tutoring program focused on middle school students. After a pilot program at the Kewanee Public Library in 2011 showed positive results through pre- and post-testing, the program expanded into the schools in 2012. Since then, STEP Ladder has served 242 middle school students and involved 82 volunteers, AmeriCorps members, and staff. The program's motto is “Helping One Child at a Time.” LaFlora said the goal is to make every student feel important while providing individualized or small-group assistance. STEP Ladder helps students with: Completing homework Preparing for tests and quizzes Mastering core academic skills Developing better study habits Learning how to take notes and stay organized Building a more positive attitude toward school and learning LaFlora said middle school is a particularly important time to provide this support. Students are navigating significant academic, social, and emotional changes while preparing for the transition to high school. The program serves students after they complete sixth grade and continue through eighth grade, including the summer before they enter high school. A summer program is held at the Kewanee Public Library. Funding the program has become increasingly challenging as community needs have grown. Sunshine Community Services Center has relied on donations, grants, and support from organizations including Rotary, Kiwanis, and United Way. Schools also contribute by providing space, while Central School provides transportation. The organization has shifted from some of its traditional fundraising efforts to online fundraising. Donations can be made through the Sunshine Community Services Center website at www.sunshinecsc.com, through an upcoming GoFundMe campaign, or by mail to P.O. Box 405, Kewanee, IL 61443. LaFlora emphasized that every donation helps provide free tutoring, healthy snacks, and learning supplies for local students. The program also continues to benefit from community volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Sunshine Community Services Center at 309-853-7751. Volunteers must complete the required school background check and fingerprinting process. One of the most rewarding aspects of STEP Ladder has been seeing former students return to give back. LaFlora recalled students who participated in the program when they were younger and later returned to serve as tutors themselves. Beyond tutoring, Sunshine Community Services Center also participates in community programs, including Black History programming, Martin Luther King Jr. activities, and community events. AmeriCorps members also assist with tutoring at Black Hawk College, including helping GED and ESL students. The STEP Ladder Tutoring Program is scheduled to begin its new school-year session on Tuesday, September 8th. LaFlora said the ultimate goal remains straightforward: helping local students develop the skills and confidence they need to successfully make it through school and into high school. Families interested in enrolling a student, community members interested in volunteering, or individuals wishing to support the program can visit www.sunshinecsc.com or call 309-853-7751. STEP Ladder Tutoring Program Offers Academic Support to Local Middle School Students The STEP Ladder Tutoring Program is providing additional educational services to middle school students in the Kewanee and Wethersfield communities. The program is available to 7th and 8th grade students attending Central Junior High School and Wethersfield Jr. High School. During the school year, tutoring sessions are held Monday through Thursday at each student's respective junior high school. Tutoring Locations and Times Central Junior High School 215 E. Central Blvd. Kewanee, IL Monday–Thursday | 3:00–4:15 PM Wethersfield Jr. High School 439 Willard Street Kewanee, IL Monday–Thursday | 3:00–4:15 PM The STEP Ladder program also offers tutoring during the summer at the Kewanee Public Library, located at 102 S.

Of the city’s more than 84,000 acres, almost 40,000 acres are covered by its tree canopy.

The city had a goal of reaching 50% canopy coverage, but Atlanta moved further away from that goal in the latest assessment, now dropping to 45.7% tree coverage. Officials from Trees Atlanta and Georgia Tech provide more details on the data, and what’s leading to the disappearing canopy.
