When he arrived in the brand new city of Indianapolis in 1821, Calvin Fletcher was nearly penniless. Yet he went on to become the first attorney in the new state capital city, a banker, a state legislator and a wealthy landowner. Fletcher, who was passionately anti-slavery, also became the first major civic leader in his adopted hometown. To top it off, Fletcher (1798-1866) wrote an astounding, nine-volume diary. Since its publication by the Indiana Historical Society, the extensive diary has become a trove for anyone seeking insights about daily life in early Indianapolis. In his diary, Fletcher described everything from the weather to events, large and small, in Indianapolis. A native of Vermont (Fletcher was just 17 when he left his family's home), the self-made early power broker became the patriarch of a family that was prominent in the city for many generations. As his wealth increased, Calvin Fletcher moved into various houses, but for a long period he lived at Wood Lawn, a farmhouse he built on his 269-acre farm in what's now the Fletcher Place Neighborhood just south of downtown Indy. Fletcher also owned vast amounts of property elsewhere in the city and state, including large tracts of farmland in Hamilton County.

Hi James Navé here, your host for Twice 5 Miles Radio. I'm pleased to welcome civic leader Stephanie Swepson Twitty to the microphone. Stephanie was born and now lives in Old Fort, North Carolina, surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. I recently worked with Stephanie on the TEDx Asheville speaker selection committee. I was inspired to interview her because of her insightful questions to the speaking candidates. I also learned that Stephanie has a way of applying big world thinking to small-town living, thus the title of this show. Small Town Living. Big World Thinking. In this conversation, Stephanie talks about what it was like growing up in a small rural town that has a population of only 1000. Yet, even with its small population, Old Fort has embarked on a very ambitious modern project designed to imagine forward a bright future that will draw people from all over the world to visit, work, and play. Stephanie also discusses her job as the CEO of Eagle Market Streets Development Corporation, which funds development projects around Western North Carolina. When I asked Stephanie what inspired the name Eagle in the title of her development corporation, she said Eagle Street was the center of the African-American business community in Asheville for many years. She thinks the term eagle might reference Friday being payday and the song Stormy Monday which says the Eagle Flies on Friday, and after that, you spend your dollars on the weekend. No matter where the name Eagle comes from, Stephaine talks a great deal about how African-American communities like the Eagle Street area in Asheville have gone through many ups and downs over the years. And finally, Stephanie and I talked about our shared excitement about the upcoming TED ask Asheville event in 2022. My conversation with Stephaine lasted 40 minutes. You'll be glad to know I have filled out the rest of the hour with a discussion on how to prepare yourself to give a TED talk. Although it's impossible to cover all the essential speaking points in such a short time, when you listen to my thoughts, you will have a fair idea of what to do next in preparing for your talk or upcoming speech, TED or otherwise. Enjoy the conversation.

Kim and her team have now assisted over 200 cities, counties, and school districts to ban glyphosate and take organic and regenerative land management policies and legislation online. NTN has proven that you can have beautiful parks, athletic fields, and open space without the use of harmful and synthetic pesticides.

Non-Toxic Neighborhoods to work towards having every child have protection from exposure to harmful and synthetic pesticides.

Kim is currently working with Assembly Members and Senators to author a Bill banning Glyphosate from California's schools and parks as well as many other states. Kim and NTN are currently working to have city leaders around the county adopt the Children's Environmental Bill of Rights. SPOKANE, WA: With our partner group, Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER) developed and is releasing a new model ordinance, the Children's Environmental Bill of Rights. - https://www.centerforenvironmentalrights.org/news/childrens-environmental-bill-of-rights-model-law-launched.

These past few weeks, many Americans’ eyes have finally been opened to the injustices that have been so deeply ingrained in every system of the “land of the free”. Yet still, so many Americans are left wondering what they can do to help right these wrongs. This week, we brought on Abdul Omari, Ph.D., CEO and Founder of AMO Enterprise, a training institute that specializes in leadership development, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Abdul was also born, raised, and still resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a black American, George Floyd, was recently murdered by a white police officer, sparking an uprising of protests across the country demanding equality and justice for black Americans. In this interview, Abdul gives us deeper insight into what he calls the paradox of Minnesota. It’s a place that is consistently ranked so high compared to other cities for its arts scene, education, parks, and healthcare, yet has the biggest racial disparities in the country for things like unemployment and education.He describes what Cultural Intelligence is and what leaders can do to start implementing effective change in their organizations when it comes to developing a more inclusive workplace. We wrap up with what is meant by black people when they ask non-black people to just LISTEN, and how communities can begin to start healing.For full show notes, please visit https://www.baktashahadi.com/podcastConnect with Abdul Omari:https://www.abdulmomari.com/Follow/Support Stories of Transformation and Baktash Ahadi:Donate to the production of this podcast Follow on Instagram Follow on Facebook Produced by: Dana DrahosEdited by: Joseph Gangemi Digital Marketing by: Katherine An Theme music by: Qais Essar Artwork by: Masheed Ahadi

Emadi is a part of the new movement for change that we are witnessing across the United States and around the world which calls for an end to racism, police brutality, hatred, and discrimination. Jason met Emadi recently during a peaceful protest that Emadi organized in the city of Tampa, Florida. The Tampa Police Department (TPD) arrested Emadi during one of these recent protests, and TPD alleges that Emadi was using a bullhorn “to incite a riot," which is a Felony under Florida Law.

This petition has electified an outpouring of support for Emadi online! In a few days time, Change.Org has gathered almost 57,000 signatures on Emadi's behalf. A copy of the Petition can be found online at: https://www.change.org/p/tampa-mayor-jane-castor-demand-emadi-okwuosa-s-charges-get-dropped. I encourage each member of our audience to review and sign this Petition. Even though it is 2020, if we close our eyes and review this information critically, we might feel like it's 50 years ago. Progress has been hampered and change is needed NOW. Join us as we discuss the importance of this Movement and its impact on the world today.
