Philadelphia's civil rights movement included the Cecil B. Moore Freedom Fighters, the "young militants" who protested and helped desegregate Girard College, which was a school intended for “poor, white male orphans.” We hear stories of police harassment and songs of freedom from the former teenagers who followed their leader and Philadelphia NAACP branch's president's words: “If you stand together, you can make a difference.” Then, Vashti DuBois shares good news about the future of The Colored Girl Museum, which has received a zoning variance to continue living in the Germantown house that is her home and museum.

Cynthia DeLores Tucker was a Philadelphia born and raised champion of Civil Rights in the 1960s and 1970s and worked closely with such icons as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Shirley Chisholm, and Cecil B. Moore. She chose to spend the last years of her life fighting what she saw as the pornography of gangsta rap. She was vilified by the music community, which spared no words in trying to show how sad and out-of-date her thinking was. She now lies in an unmarked grave at Laurel Hill West in Bala Cynwyd.
Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes local defense attorney Rania Major, who represents one of the children involved in the beating death of 73-year-old James Lambert on Cecil B. Moore avenue. Major describes how and why she's decided to get involved in the case that's made both local and national headlines, offering a look into the planned defense of her juvenile client. Also, Major provides a bit more clarity on what happened the night from the perspective of the assailants, and explains why she believes everybody deserves the right to a criminal defense. Then, local attorney Lonny Fish, representing a 14-year-old charged with 3rd degree murder for the beating death of 73-year-old James Lambert, joins the Dom Giordano Program to preview the defense of his 14-year-old client, telling about his client and telling he does not see how we would be safer by locking up. Lonny argues his point, telling that in the overall scope of gun violence and heightened violence in Philadelphia, putting a 14-year-old in jail would make no change. In addition, Fish provides in-depth details about the night, and how he believes the timeline to work out as the case moves on.

Steve Keeley, ace reporter for Fox29, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the heightened crime in the city of Philadelphia. First, Giordano and Keeley discuss the lifesaving efforts of police officers who respond to shootings, after police officers came under fire on Cecil B. Moore Avenue while trying to save the life of a 19-year-old man who had just been shot in the chest. Then, Giordano draws comparisons between the unwritten rules in the HBO show The Wire, and asks whether similar rules are being broken as the rash of crime increases. Then, Giordano and Keeley discuss the murder rate in Philadelphia as we creep toward 270 murders in the city. (Photo by Getty Images) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
