On this lively episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Brady Cloven, executive director of Friends of Old Town, and Corporal Rob Sloan, the City of Winchester's dedicated Old Town walking mall officer. Their conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how visibility, relationships, and everyday interaction help keep downtown safe — and welcoming — for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. From Fairfax to Foot Patrol After more than three decades in law enforcement, Corporal Sloan brings a wealth of experience to Winchester. He spent 28 years with Fairfax County Police before relocating north to finish his career closer to home. Although the shift from big-city policing to a small-town walking mall might seem dramatic, Sloan says the transition has been refreshing. Unlike the fast-paced environment of Fairfax, Old Town Winchester allows him to interact with people in positive moments — conversations filled with greetings, gratitude, and genuine connection. Those daily interactions, he explains, make the job uniquely rewarding. Why Foot Patrol Makes a Difference Unlike officers confined to cruisers, Sloan spends his shifts walking — a lot. Averaging 15,000 to 20,000 steps per day, he patrols not only the pedestrian mall but surrounding streets and alleys as well. That visibility matters. By walking instead of driving, Sloan builds familiarity. He learns who belongs, who needs help, and how the rhythm of downtown changes throughout the day. More importantly, people learn him — by name, by face, and by trust. As Brady notes, merchants quickly felt more comfortable once Sloan arrived. Business owners gained a consistent point of contact, and open communication replaced uncertainty. Community Policing in Action At the heart of Sloan's role is community-oriented policing — a philosophy centered on communication rather than enforcement. Whether speaking with visitors, checking in with business owners, or engaging with the unhoused population, Sloan approaches each interaction with respect and conversation first. His goal isn't intimidation; it's understanding. He believes relationships prevent problems before they start — and when issues do arise, familiarity helps resolve them calmly and efficiently. Changing Perceptions, One Conversation at a Time Sloan speaks candidly about misconceptions surrounding law enforcement. Too often, he says, people meet police officers only on their worst days. The walking mall offers a different opportunity — one where children can wave hello, visitors can ask for directions, and families can see officers as helpers rather than threats. Janet reflects on how damaging it can be when parents use police as a form of punishment. Sloan agrees wholeheartedly, emphasizing that children should feel safe approaching officers — especially if they ever need help. On the mall, those everyday positive moments help reshape perceptions across generations. A Walking Welcome Center In many ways, Sloan doubles as a roaming ambassador for Winchester. Tourists frequently stop him to ask where to eat, what museums to visit, or how far away certain landmarks are. Those questions have even inspired him to brush up on Winchester history so he can better serve curious visitors. While he diplomatically avoids choosing favorite restaurants, he excels at pointing people in the right direction — often beginning with the most important qualifier of all: How much time do you have? Safety Through Presence, Not Pressure Much of Sloan's work operates quietly in the background. His uniformed presence alone acts as a deterrent — a concept rooted in the "broken windows" theory of policing. Simply being seen reduces problematic behavior before it escalates. From addressing bicycle and scooter concerns on the mall to educating visitors about city ordinances, Sloan emphasizes that enforcement is rarely the first step. Education comes first. Warnings follow. Enforcement becomes a last resort. The goal, he explains, is never to ruin someone's day — it's to keep everyone safe. Balancing a Complex Downtown Environment Old Town Winchester presents unique challenges. The mall functions as a pedestrian space, a residential area, a tourism hub, and — during certain hours — an active roadway. Add e-bikes, scooters, crowded events, and weekend foot traffic, and safety becomes a delicate balancing act. Sloan works closely with Friends of Old Town and city partners to address concerns as they arise. Community meetings allow business owners to voice issues, brainstorm solutions, and ensure their concerns move up the chain. That collaboration builds confidence — and strengthens trust. Events, Energy, and the Pulse of Downtown As the conversation continues, Brady outlines an active lineup of upcoming Old Town events, from winter food competitions to February's packed calendar: A sausage gravy cookoff benefiting local organizations Chocolate Escape, encouraging shoppers to explore downtown stores Spin to Winchester, a fitness-based fundraiser Black History Month events, including jazz nights, storytelling, and cultural programming Restaurant Week, showcasing the city's dining scene For Sloan, attending monthly meetings helps him stay informed — ensuring he's ready for crowds, questions, and changing traffic patterns. A Familiar Face Makes All the Difference As the conversation wraps, one message stands out clearly: people feel safer when they recognize who's protecting them. Seeing Corporal Sloan walking the mall — stopping into shops, greeting regulars, and chatting with visitors — brings comfort. It reassures business owners, enhances the visitor experience, and reinforces Old Town's identity as a welcoming place. In a space that serves as the heart of Winchester tourism and community life, that calm, consistent presence matters more than most people realize. An Open Invitation Sloan closes with a simple request: say hello. Whether someone recognizes him from the radio, the newspaper, or a casual stroll downtown, he welcomes the interaction. Every handshake, wave, or brief conversation strengthens the community he walks through each day. Because at the end of the shift — after thousands of steps and countless conversations — his job is about more than safety. It's about belonging.

February is Black History Month—a time to honor and celebrate the contributions of African Americans. As a music teacher, this prompts me to pause and evaluate what I'm teaching, but also why. I ask questions like:How much diversity is present in my students' method books and repertoire?Which pieces should we skip due to their complicated history?How can I make more thoughtful, informed choices about the music I put in front of my students—choices that are pedagogically sound and historically responsible?This year, I want to focus more on the existing repertoire and the creators behind it. In this episode, I'm going to introduce you to seven Black composers of elementary and intermediate piano repertoire.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with moral philosopher and theologian Lord Nigel Biggar for a rigorous conversation on slavery, reparations, British history, and the moral limits of historical guilt.We examine growing demands for reparations from Britain, including calls from CARICOM, the African Union, and the Church of England, and ask whether modern Britons can justly be held responsible for crimes committed centuries ago. Biggar explains why slavery was a universal historical practice, why Britain was among the first nations to abolish it, and how the anti slavery movement became one of the first mass human rights campaigns in history.The discussion explores the Atlantic slave trade, African and Arab slavery, Britain's role in abolition, the West Africa Squadron, and the immense financial and human cost Britain paid to suppress slavery worldwide. We also debate whether present day inequalities can be causally traced to historic slavery, and whether reparations clarify or distort moral responsibility.We turn to faith, history, and national memory, examining how Britain should teach slavery, abolition, and empire, and whether movements like reparations and Black History Month promote reconciliation or deepen division.A serious and searching conversation about history, justice, responsibility, and how nations should reckon with the past without surrendering to permanent guilt.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction 02:08 Britain's Involvement in the Atlantic Slave Trade07:35 Comparative Slavery and Historical Context11:33 Media Bias and Reparations 15:37 British State's Involvement and Church of England's Reparations 20:52 The Abolition Movement and British Anti-Slavery Efforts30:04 The West Africa Squadron and British Anti-Slavery Expenses33:44 Historical Context and Modern Implications43:11 Reparations and Historical Responsibility52:22 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Diverse Voices Book Review, host Hopeton Hay interviewed Jarvis R. Givens, author of AMERICAN GRAMMAR: Race, Education, and the Building of a Nation.  Jarvis reframes the origin story of U.S. education by centering Black and Native experiences. He explains how early schooling was directly tied to land dispossession, slavery, and laws restricting literacy, showing education as a tool of empire-building rather than pure democratic inclusion. Givens also highlights Indigenous and Black resistance, the role of Christianity, and figures like Booker T. Washington to illustrate the complex intersections of race, education, and nationhood.  To visit his website, click on Jarvis R. Givens.Jarvis R. Givens is a Professor of Education and African and African American Studies and the co-founding faculty director of the Black Teacher Archive at Harvard University.  His new book, I'LL MAKE A WORLD: The 100-Year Journey of Black History Month, is set to be published on February 3, 2026.Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewEmail: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.com

To cap off the Black History Month portion of the month (took a little longer than a month... Sorry!, Sam and Riordan sit down and have a proper discussion about Tony Atlas. They go over the good, the bad and then decide whether he is a good wrestler and deserves his placement in the Hall of Fame. It's a crazy way to end this stint of episodes.

In 2017, activist-scholar Robyn Maynard published her groundbreaking study, Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present.  Today, I have the privilege of talking with her about the second edition of this study, which has just been published by Duke University Press. Robyn tells us what has happened since 2017 that compelled her to revise the book and add important new materials to address the challenges of the present. At the core of this new edition is a powerful argument against reform and for abolition—Maynard details the numerous failures of police reform, and explains why precious time, resources, and lives have been spent trying to bring about authentic change via reform.  Her vision for abolition is bold, and expansive, reaching beyond Canada to examine both transnational apparatuses of surveillance, policing, and punishment, and vital global forms of resistance and solidarity.Robyn Maynard is an author and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. Her writing on borders, policing, abolition and Black feminism is taught widely in universities across Canada, the United States and Europe. The first edition of Policing Black Lives: State violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present, published in 2017, is a national bestseller, designated as one of the “best 100 books of 2017” by the Hill Times, listed in The Walrus‘s “best books of 2018,” shortlisted for an Atlantic Book Award, the Concordia University First Book Prize and the Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-fiction, and the winner of the 2017 Errol Sharpe Book Prize. In 2018 the book was published in French, titled NoirEs sous surveillance. Esclavage, répression et violence d'État au Canada, and won the 2019 Prix de libraires. Her second book, Rehearsals for Living, co-authored with Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, is a Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, and CBC national bestseller and was shortlisted for a Governor General's Award for literary non-fiction, a Toronto Heritage Award, and designated one of CBC's “best Canadian non-fiction books of 2022” and the “best 100 books of 2022” by the Hill Times. Other awards include “2018 Author of the Year” from Montreal's Black History Month and the Writers' Trust Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQI* Emerging Writers. Her public scholarship is available at www.robynmaynard.com

Welcome to the Superstar Communicator podcast with Susan Heaton-Wright! In this powerful episode, Susan returns to the mic after a busy period of running mastermind courses, speaking, and coaching—ready to inspire her audience once again. Today's conversation centers around Black History Month and features award-winning HR professional, speaker, and activist Ije McDougall Together, they dive deep into the meaning and importance of Black History Month, share personal experiences of representation and bias—especially within the UK's healthcare sector—and discuss both the challenges and opportunities facing allies. You'll hear honest stories, insightful perspectives, and practical takeaways on how to celebrate, enjoy, and engage meaningfully with Black History Month. This episode is all about amplifying voices, embracing humanity, and reminding us how representation and allyship can spark real change. Get ready for a conversation that's equal parts thought-provoking and uplifting!   About Ije McDougall: Ije McDougall's story begins in Nigeria, where growing up surrounded by fellow black Nigerians meant concepts like Black History Month were virtually nonexistent—there was no need for it in a society where blackness was the norm. It wasn't until McDougall moved to the UK as an adult that the existence of Black History Month sparked confusion and curiosity. "Why was it necessary?" was the question that lingered. After sixteen years of living in the UK, McDougall's perspective has evolved. Now, Black History Month is seen as a vital space—an opportunity for black voices to be amplified and heard without interruption. Through personal experience and reflection, McDougall's journey highlights the importance of celebrating black history in contexts where it's often marginalized, and how understanding grows with time and experience. You can contact Ije at IJETALKS.COM     Key points from the interview (bold) Ije McDougall 00:04:09 - 00:04:25 Why Black History Month Matters in the UK: "black history Month, from my perspective, is an opportunity for black people to speak uninterrupted is an opportunity for our voices to be amplified." Ije McDougall 00:04:33 - 00:04:59 The Continued Importance of Black History Month: "But the reason that we need Black History Month and for our voices to be amplified and for us to be able to speak uninterrupted is because at the moment that is not the case. It is because at the moment our lived experience and our history seems to be disregarded, belittled, or just completely erased." Ije McDougall 00:07:47 - 00:07:51 Viral Topic: Challenging the Default Status Quo Quote: "the narrative is still that the status quo, the default position, the norm is white male... but that does not necessarily mean that that is true or that is real" Ije McDougall 00:10:54 - 00:11:24 Premature Births and Parental Anxiety: "my first child, she was born at 27 weeks, so she was very, very premature. But the build up to that is things such as, you know, being told it's my first child. So I'm excited, as you can imagine, turning up to the scan with your bladder full because they tell you your bladder has to be full. So I turn up and I am bursting, but nowhere doing this scan. And I'm sitting there and we've ticked all the boxes because we want to know some measurements in regards to." Ije McDougall 00:17:20 - 00:17:58 Viral Topic: The Impact of Representation in Media: "every princess, there was no princess that looked like me. There was no good policeman that looked like me. There was no hero that looked like my brother. There was no good teacher, good policeman, wholesome family. They just never look like me. So that is the represent, the lack of representation that I grew up with. However, if we were represented, we were misrepresented as thugs, as criminals, as gang members, we were represented as the one that's not so clever, the comedian of the class, the one who is disposable." Ije McDougall 00:18:49 - 00:19:01 Viral Topic: Diversity in Media Representation "It's not that there has been a significant rise that is true in, you know, black and brown people on tv, but it is not to the detriment of anybody else." Ije McDougall 00:19:16 - 00:19:34 Representation in Advertising: "if we have a few months where there are no white people on tv, it still would not, it still would not tip it to the detriment of white people because everybody else grew up without representation or with misrepresentation." Ije McDougall 00:20:47 - 00:21:05 The Reality of Allyship Online: "I'm not seeing enough people stand up. I'm not seeing enough. You know, allyship is such a buzzword and it's such a useful term because it tells you who people are. But I'm not seeing as many as I wish I was seeing." Ije McDougall 00:22:25 - 00:22:43 Viral Topic: Authentic Allyship "You need to understand the issues as a human being. First of all, you do need to gain proximity. Try and get your head around it. And if you, from a human level, you see that, no, that's not fair because another human being shouldn't have to do this, then by all means, it's time to, you know, stand up in your standing up." Ije McDougall 00:23:31 - 00:23:41 Viral Topic: The Power of Authenticity Online: "She's not aggressive, she's not fighting anybody, she's not in any debates or arguments. But she just clearly states who she is, what she stands for. And people know."     Download the transcript of the interview  SuperStar Communicator Here at SuperStar Communicator HQ Susan and Nick love sharing great content.

Black History Month Special (Part 2) AI - The Truth Exposed! The Black Spy Podcast 216, Season 22, Episode 0007   This week, host Carlton King continues his headfirst dive into the meaning of Black History Month — asking seemingly none provocative questions of Chat GPT such as Why do you and other LLM continue to use terms such as the Middle East” and why does this matter? Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, Carlton explores the true financial and political objectives and consequences of the British Empire, including how Britain came to rule world finances. Carlton also uncovers how AI is finally challenging a racist, euro-centric manipulation of history with true and evidenced fact, yet strangely Carlton notes that these answers are not provided questionaries in the first instance and he wants to establish why?. Carlton examines who decides who's “Black” and who's “White,” and how these definitions have been weaponised throughout history to dumb down Africa and it's diaspora's real historical legacy. Once again we hope you enjoy this week's episode and learn from it. So, please don't forget to subscribe to the Black Spy Podcast for free, so you never miss another fascinating episode.

In this episode of Life Points with Ronda, I share my reflections on one of the most powerful voices I've encountered on YouTube — Brother Shahid Bolsen of the Middle Nation channel. His fearless commentary has challenged me to think deeper about issues that shape our world: from the containment of Black History Month, to racism as the divided psyche of the West, to the false promises of artificial intelligence, to the truth that whoever disrupts a system controls it. I also explore his recent commentary on the death of Charlie Kirk — not to honor Kirk, but to highlight how Shahid exposed the exploitation of public tragedy, the hypocrisy of selective mourning, and the disturbing reality that even free speech is being censored when it offends power. His reminder that three other lives were lost that same day, and that over 1,800 people had already died this year to date, puts everything into perspective. This episode is also my personal thank you to Shahid Bolsen. If you're listening anywhere in the world, I encourage you to check out Middle Nation on YouTube. I have never joined anyone's channel membership before, but his is one I will be supporting — because his voice, his clarity, and his courage are undeniable. Tune in for a raw, honest, and deeply reflective conversation about truth, disruption, and the power of voices that refuse to be silenced.
