While the story has made international news and went viral on social media, few are examining the potentially negative impact it could have on Oklahoma Muslims, including over 1,000 Afghan refugees who resettled in Oklahoma after the Taliban seized power.

This week, we invited former ABC News anchor Carolyn Tyler as a guest host to interview the Honorable Willie L. Brown, Jr. about the upcoming 2024 election and the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. The Honorable Willie L. Brown, Jr. is the first Black and longest-serving Speaker of the California State Assembly, and the first Black Mayor of San Francisco. He made a significant impact both in the Assembly, where he authored groundbreaking bills, and in San Francisco, where he oversaw major changes. Brown, now 90, met Kamala Harris 30 years ago when she was an Alameda County prosecutor. Vice President Harris, born in Oakland and raised in Berkeley, is one of many national leaders from the San Francisco Bay Area. Tune in as we explore why this region has produced so many influential political figures with Carolyn Tyler and Willie Brown.

We take a break today from the daily madness of the presidential campaign to talkabout an election that is still two years off, and that is the statewide election of2026. We've had many early-declaring candidates for Governor on this programalready and today, KCBS Political Reporter Doug Sovern spoke with a young man who has decided to run for Lieutenant Governor, and that is former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs. Tubbs became a national star of the Democratic Party when he was elected Mayor at just 26 years old, Stockton's first Black mayor and it's youngest. But like so many Stockton mayors, he fell victim to some pretty toxic local politics and was upset by a Republican challenger when he ran for re-election in 2020. Since then he's been an advisor to Governor Newsom and now he's throwing his hat in the ring for statewide office himself.

Earlier this week, we heard all about the Scariff Harbour Festival.  This year's event, which will take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend promises a range of events, including riverside activities, music and lots more.   The festival will be opened by the first black mayor of Northern Ireland, the newly elected Mayor of Derry & District of Strabane, SDLP Cllr Lilian Seenoi Barr.

On May 29, 1973, Tom Bradley became the first Black American elected mayor of Los Angeles. He defeated incumbent Sam Yorty with 56 percent of the vote. The win was considered trailblazing by historians, taking into account the city's largely white population at the time. Bradley served in office from 1973 to 1993, giving him the longest tenure as mayor in the city's history before term limits were passed by voters in 1990. He ran for governor in 1982 and 1986 but lost both times. His loss in 1982 gave birth to the term "the Bradley effect" in U.S. politics, highlighting the inconsistencies between voter opinion polls and actual election outcomes when a white candidate runs against a person of color. Tom Bradley passed away in 1998 at the age of 80. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 2022, Chicago celebrated the centennial birthday of the city's first Black mayor, Harold Washington. Washington died in 1987 at the start of his second term. His historic election was propelled by a coalition of Black, brown, and progressive voters who saw Washington as the start of a new reform government. In April, host Jacoby Cochran talked about Washington's life and legacy with Laura Washington, a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, ABC-7, and one-time press secretary for Harold Washington (no relation). With the new documentary about “Punch 9 for Harold Washington” slated to open at AMC theaters Friday, we revisit our conversation with Laura.  This conversation was originally published on April 18, 2022.

This week, we go back in time with the makers of the documentary Punch 9 for Harold Washington. The film examines the incomparable former Mayor of Chicago's time in office. Pulled from Congress, Washington became Chicago's first Black Mayor in 1983 thanks to a multiracial coalition of progressives who campaigned hard on his behalf. He took over after one-termer Jane Byrne and after decades under Richard J. Daley's leadership. The film includes archival footage and candid interviews with a cavalcade of notable Chicagoans: the Reverend Jesse Jackson, late civil rights historian Timuel Black, late educator Conrad Worrill, the Chicago Sun-Times' Laura Washington, plus contemporaries like Chuy Garcia, Luis Gutierrez and David Orr – as well as staff, supporters, and opponents, like former 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell. Mell was one of the leaders of the Vrdolyak 29, the mostly white City Council members who opposed Washington at every turn, kicking off the infamous Council Wars. If you need a reminder, Washington beat both Byrne and Richard M. Daley in the 1983 primary, then faced Republican Bernard Epton in the general. The film explores the racial animus Washington was up against as a candidate – when Epton used the slogan “before it's too late…” – and then as mayor, alongside the segregation and discrimination Chicagoans of color experienced. It also explores the kind of city Washington wanted to build before his sudden death in his office in 1987. Work on the film kicked off in 2015 and it debuted for select public audiences this past fall. Director Joe Winston and producer Sonya Jackson talk about how Washington paved the way for candidates of color, what parts of his legacy endure – and what is still left unfulfilled.

1.27.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SC Justice Breyer retires; Kendrick Johnson case closed; Black mayor commits suicide Today, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer officially announced his retirement at the White House. President Joe Biden says his nomination to the Supreme Court vacancy will be a historic first for the nation's highest court. He's sticking to his word of picking a black woman. Reports say the economy made a strong comeback during Biden's first year. Economist Dr. Julianne Malveaux joins us tonight to discuss what that means and what Biden's second year will look like. Ya'll remember when companies and CEOs "united" to oppose state bills containing discriminatory voting measures? Well, journalist Judd Legum is calling them out on their silence. He'll be here to expose those companies and CEOs who have said and done nothing the help voter legislation. A second investigation in the death of Kendrick Johnson, the Georgia teen found in a rolled-up gym mat, has closed with no charges filed. We'll share with you what the sheriff said about the case and the family's response. Plus, Maryland is pushing to ban ghost guns. Prince George's County State's Attorney, Aisha Braveboy, will explain it's so important to ban these illegal weapons. A California city will require gun owners to have liability insurance.

But we do get the speculation on why a Black Mayor puts a Black Police Chief in Little Rock Arkansas is on administrative leave after shooting at a suspect who shot and injured someone. Is this proper protocol? Jerz, Co Pro Smartz and The Pilot discuss.23:11: Antonio Brown. Once a Top Ten WR in the 2010-2020 era, is now the posterchild for immaturity. However, is his man-child presentation good ol' fashioned NFL WR Diva-ness? Or is he the product of what the aftermath of CTE can be when a football player's only way to make money, is to profit from the pain of the NFL.38:40: Who is Kevin Corke? He's a Black American Journalist on Fox News who thinks it's cool to use his Melanin to speak on Vaccination Hesitation in urban communities. The Pilot and Jerz get out the way to let Co Pro Smartz dismantle Kevin. We love you though brother, But c'mon Fox News?! lol 49:01: We discuss Poly Family Dynamics through the lens of Cult leader J.D. and his stable of men and women in the state of Texas.

And why be poly in the first place? Sounds like a broke person's sexual and pyramid scheme desire to go poly if you ask us. But if you do poly, keep poly'n.

https://www.13blacktownstour.com https://studio.youtube.com/video/5Phj93CKxjs/edit These are intense times, with battles being fought in school districts over how and what today's students should be learning about this country's history. Many of us are waking up to the fact that parts of this country's history, the parts about which no one can feel any pride, have been and continue to be buried, withheld, and intentionally covered up. One of the many things I found most fascinating about conversation with Derrick Smith, the Young Black Mayor, is his positive and constructive approach to turning things around for everyone's benefit… and by everyone, I mean all Americans, whatever the color of their skin. Education is how we become stronger as a nation… and Derrick is committed to education that not only informs but also entertains. Derrick has a big-hearted and worthwhile vision for how his community can independently grow and thrive, and I loved talking with this wise and creative gentleman. See if you agree about the positive value of his ideas and his vision. Thank you for joining me on this the One White Woman podcast. My name is Nini White and this podcast is my way to learn and grow, by sharing my learning journey, one conversation at a time to move out of the cluelessness in which I've been swimming my entire life, and I want to breathe the clean fresh air of unaltered facts, because as James Baldwin famously said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Thank you again for sharing these conversations with me. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onewhitewoman/message

The intense national interest in Kim Janey's ascension that her stewardship of Boston could change, or begin to change, perception of the city. It could also change the way the Boston sees itself. But there are some important caveats attached to the Janey era — starting with the fact that it could end in November, when Boston holds the final election to replace former mayor Marty Walsh. Yawu Miller, the senior editor of the Bay State Banner, talks about what it's been like as a Black Bostonian to watch the transfer of power from Walsh to Janey, and how the candidates who've already said they're running can respond to the undeniable advantage Janey now enjoys. First, though, Janey gets some friendly advice from Jane Swift, who ran Massachusetts after Paul Cellucci became ambassador to Canada — and might have been elected in 2002, if Mitt Romney had turned his focus to Utah a bit earlier than he did.

Meet Claire Mack, a business woman and San Mateo's first African American Mayor who hopes hopes she won't be the last. Former Mayor Mack ran a winning citywide campaign because she was very involved in her community. Thanks to affirmative action she got her start at KGO-TV then hosted community TV and radio shows for 30 years. She's responsible for launching KCSM's world famous Jazz 91, a radio jewel in the San Francisco Bay region. The 24-hour jazz format broadcast enjoys a worldwide reach of over 6 million with a current audience of about 200,000. Hosts include veteran jazz musicians, educators, and broadcasters who often are all three. She also sat on various city commissions and boards. Claire has a passion for her community because she was born and raised in San Mateo, and her family has lived in San Mateo for more than 100 years, which has allowed her family to enjoy a certain level of stature. She has three well-educated and successful daughters, lots of grandkids and great grandchildren. She also runs a bakery business out of her home, Claire's Crunch Cakes. The bakery helps sock money away for her grandchildren's college education. If you're in the Bay Area, buy one. Google her and the bakery pops right up.

I sat down a while ago and talked to former Mayor of South Ogden, George Garwood about his experience of growing up in 1970's and how he made his way to becoming the first Black Mayor in Utah. 

Few public officials today have a connection to the social justice movement of today quite like Ella Jones, Mayor of Ferguson, MO. After spending the early part of her adult life in the private sector as well as immersed in the Church, she underwent an evolution of purpose after one of America's most infamous incidents of deadly police misconduct, and this engaging episode follows her footsteps to the forefront of local politics. TIMESTAMPS 2:34 Forged in Ferguson The case of Mike Brown was a traumatic incident for much of the nation, and for residents of Jones´ Missouri hometown in particular. After extensive news coverage of this murder of an unarmed cvilian at the hands of local law enforcement, the verdict absolving the officers of the clear murder delivered a seismic shock to the small city. The future politician recalls urgent warnings from family members to leave Ferguson in an attempt to escape the forthcoming civil unrest, and her eventual decision to stay and shape her environment.   3:53 The Path to Public Service By 2015, just months after the Mike Brown murder, Jones followed her heart into the field of politics, an arena where she possessed no prior experience. The road to her position was one with plenty of unexpected twists, and here she recounts her long journey from chemistry to the cloth and on to public service, describing the joy she found in each of these endeavors along the way, as well as the experience of becoming an entrepreneur through direct sales.   5:11 New Beginnings Perhaps the defining influence in Mayor Jones´ commitment to public service was the death of her husband in the fall of 2013. Losing interest in her business, she found a new fire in the form of civic life, running for City Council after being encouraged by friends and neighbors to turn her passion to the pursuit of a better future for Ferguson.   7:00 A Vision for the City Ella Jones recalls having eyes on the mayoral suite from the time she transitioned to politics, noting that she would have never run for office if not with intent to reach City Hall. Her ascension from first black female member of Ferguson City council to the city´s highest ranking office--during one of the its most turbulent periods--stands as a testament to her resolve. Mayor Jones looks back at the beginning of her time in the position, relating the  challenges involved with establishing herself as Ferguson's premier political force. . 11:23 Real Representation The city of Ferguson has long had a predominantly black population, but as Mayor Jones´ June 2020 election as the city´s first black mayor highlights, the makeup of leadership has never reflected residential demographics. She speaks on the importance of representation for vulnerable segments of society, and the positive impact that inclusive, community driven solutions can bring to cities like hers.   13:29 A Recurring Nightmare  The murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police just weeks ago drew obvious parallels to the day that catalyzed her political career. Mayor Jones describes her emotions watching the footage, with the callous nature of the officers involved during the nearly 9-minute video making a particularly strong impression on her. She also details the following days and nights in Ferguson, where residents were again driven to unrest by echoes of police brutality, and offers some of her outlook on the demonstrations that rage on from coast to coast.

It's the battle of the Harveys this week as we explore two black men born in the 1940s, each leaving their own mark on Charlotte's history. We'll discuss great parenting styles, questionable transportation solutions, and a court appointed college education. Along the way, we'll ask the important questions: Do ghosts exist? Does Harvey Gantt blame Michael Jordan for his Senate loss in the 90s? What do you do with six doctorates anyway? We'll touch on the first black students at Clemson, Obama's political roots, and the Mecklenburg County seal's official owner.

Brandaun Dean is an extraordinary person. He was the youngest Black Mayor in America, of a small city in Alabama, now he's running for Senate in Pennsylvania. He's also homeless. He's also a dogged advocate for reparations. We were so impressed with him as a person we wanted to introduce him to you as someone to look out for.
