Alder Isadore Knox Jr. hosts a roundtable discussion on Black political leadership in Madison with Richard V. Brown Sr., Sheri Carter, and Amani Latimer Burris. The post Roundtable on Black Leadership in Madison appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

President Donald Trump has named Todd Blanche—his former criminal defense attorney in the 2024 hush money trial—as the acting Librarian of Congress, ousting Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and first African American to lead the nation's library. Blanche, who represented Trump in his 34-count conviction, now oversees the world's largest repository of books, films, and historical treasures—despite having no experience in libraries or archives. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Congress is probing whether the president has the authority to fire a legislative branch official. Senior House Democrats warn that Blanche could access confidential Congressional Research Service requests and have asked the inspector general for a full investigation. Will the Library of Congress remain a nonpartisan guardian of knowledge, or will it become a political pawn? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

In this episode of Black Is America, we highlight the groundbreaking journey of Doug Williams, the first Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl. From his early days in Zachary, Louisiana, to Grambling State under legendary coach Eddie Robinson, to breaking barriers in the NFL, Williams' career is a testament to resilience, intelligence, and excellence. But Williams' path was anything but easy. Systemic racism, underestimation, and financial disparity sought to hold him back. Yet, he persevered, ultimately delivering one of the greatest performances in Super Bowl history. This episode explores not only Doug Williams' impact but the long-standing biases Black quarterbacks faced in professional football. We also highlight historical figures like Fritz Pollard and pivotal moments in sports history that paved the way for today's generation of Black quarterbacks.

Detroit has long been a city of resilience, innovation, and reinvention. Once the heart of American industry, its rebirth has been marked by waves of economic and social transformation. But as new developments reshape the city, the question remains: who gets to be part of this transformation, and how can Black leadership play a central role? Black entrepreneurs and leaders often face systemic challenges in accessing capital, despite their deep roots and contributions to the city. In fact, research shows that nonprofits led by people of color receive less funding than their white-led counterparts.So how do we ensure that Detroit's renaissance is truly inclusive? How can Black entrepreneurs and organizations access the resources they need to thrive? In the first episode of this two-part series on DisruptED, host Ron J Stefanski sits down with Dwan Dandridge, the CEO and co-founder of Black Leaders Detroit, to explore how his organization is working to create equitable opportunities for Black businesses and nonprofits in the city. The episode highlights the role of Black leadership in shaping Detroit's future.The two discuss…The legacy of Black Bottom and Detroit's history of Black entrepreneurship – and how systemic barriers continue to shape economic opportunities today.How Black Leaders Detroit is addressing funding disparities by creating a financial resource pool controlled by and for Black Detroiters.The importance of self-determination in economic development and how communities can take control of their own financial futures.Dwan Dandridge is a Detroit native and the CEO of Black Leaders Detroit, an organization dedicated to empowering Black entrepreneurs and leaders through equitable funding solutions. With a background spanning skilled trades, business ownership, and community activism, Dandridge's journey is a testament to the power of persistence and self-determination. His work aims to bridge the gap in funding for Black-led organizations and ensure that Detroit's economic resurgence benefits all its residents.

Throughout his life, Chad Sanders found himself having to navigate white culture; at school, in the tech industry, and eventually in his career in entertainment. He learned to cope with the frustration of having to do that by writing, and he wrote his first screenplay at a cafe just across the street from Spike Lee's studio in Brooklyn—where he would run into Spike himself. Chad would come to realize that though his experiences related to racial inequity left him with real trauma, they also equipped him and other Black leaders with certain entrepreneurial skills. Chad writes about these skills in the book Black Magic: What Black Leaders Learned from Trauma and Triumph.

Dr. Sonya Ramsey: Highlighting the Life and legacy of Bertha Maxwell-Roddey —  In this episode, Ramona centers African American women's history in her discussion with historian Dr. Sonya Ramsey about her new book Bertha Maxwell-Roddey: A Modern-Day Race Woman and the Power of Black Leadership. In her biography of Dr. Maxwell-Roddey, Dr. Ramsey modernizes the nineteenth-century term “race woman” to describe how educational activist and Black studies forerunner Dr. Bertha Maxwell-Roddey and her peers turned hard-won civil rights and feminist milestones into tangible accomplishments in North Carolina and nationwide from the 1960s to the 1990s. According to Dr. Ramsey, Dr. Maxwell-Roddey made a local and national impact through her leadership in multiple capacities: as one of Charlotte's first Black women principals of a white elementary school; founding director of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte's Africana Studies Department; co-founder of the Afro-American Cultural and Service Center, now the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Art + Culture; founder of the National Council for Black Studies; and the 20th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Ramona and Dr. Ramsey's discussion about Dr. Maxwell-Roddey highlights the importance of African American women in Black History. Dr. Sonya Ramsey is a Professor of History and Women's and Gender Studies and the Director of the Women's and Gender Studies Program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is also author of several other historical works.

Bertha Maxwell-Roddey: A Modern-Day Race Woman and the Power of Black Leadership (UP of Florida, 2022) examines a life of remarkable achievements and leadership in the desegregated South. Sonya Ramsey modernizes the nineteenth-century term "race woman" to describe how Maxwell-Roddey and her peers turned hard-won civil rights and feminist milestones into tangible accomplishments in North Carolina and nationwide from the late 1960s to the 1990s. Born in 1930, Maxwell-Roddey became one of Charlotte's first Black women principals of a white elementary school; she was the founding director of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte's Africana Studies Department; and she cofounded the Afro-American Cultural and Service Center, now the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Art + Culture. Maxwell-Roddey founded the National Council for Black Studies, helping institutionalize the field with what is still its premier professional organization, and served as the 20th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., one of the most influential Black women's organizations in the United States. Using oral histories and primary sources that include private records from numerous Black women's home archives, Ramsey illuminates the intersectional leadership strategies used by Maxwell-Roddey and other modern race women to dismantle discriminatory barriers in the classroom and the boardroom. Bertha Maxwell-Roddey offers new insights into desegregation, urban renewal, and the rise of the Black middle class through the lens of a powerful leader's life story.
