We welcome guest preacher Clarence Taylor, Sr. as he delivers a timely word entitled, ‘Just Do It'. God has given all of us spiritual gifts that need to be used in order to complete any work at hand that ultimately gives Him glory! Do not wait to use them!

Clarence Taylor, Thoughtful Thursday underwritten by Guild Hall Co-author of Historic Black Brooklyn discusses how women, including Shirley Chisholm – a political pioneer as the first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress – shaped Brooklyn. Born Shirley Anita St. Hill, Chisholm's political ambitions extended beyond what Taylor said American culture made possible during her time noting that her presidential run failed largely because of those who didn't take seriously her nor her run, including some political colleagues. Clarence Taylor & Brian Merlis' Historic Black Brooklyn can be purchased at nycoldphotos.com Huck Hirsch, North Fork Community Theater The director of NFCT's latest play, The Laramie Project, discusses visiting Wyoming to prepare for immersing himself in difficult subject matter, as well as the importance of the work in affecting possible change at a moment when legislation is changing regarding hate crimes in America. From the NFCT website – NFCT.com – “Hailed as a captivating and encompassing piece of contemporary theater, The Laramie Project shocks, challenges and moves audiences profoundly as it reveals the lowest depths of hatred and the greatest heights of compassion that lie within the people of this typical American community now dealing with the horrific trauma of an unconscionable hate crime in their own backyard. On October 6, 1998, in Laramie, Wyoming, a 21-year-old gay college student named Matt Shepard was kidnapped, savagely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die. 18 hours later, barely breathing but alive, he was miraculously found by a kid riding his bicycle. On October 12, 1998, after five days in a coma, at a hospital in Colorado, his family by his side, Matt Shepard died. A month later, Moisés Kaufman and members of Tectonic Theater Project in New York traveled to Laramie to interview a community in shock, struggling to make sense of what happened. They would return to Laramie six times in the course of a year, seeking perspective in the aftermath of this tragedy. Over 200 of those verbatim interviews were then edited and crafted to become an astonishing piece of documentary theater, revealing the complicated impasse of a broken community torn between the wreckages of hate and glimmers of hope.”

Brian Merlis, Thoughtful Thursday underwritten by Guild Hall The co-author of “Historic Black Brooklyn: 400 Years of Struggle and Hope” discusses how the story of the borough's black residents pre-dates the nation itself. HBB considers development and abolition of the slave trade, as well as segregation in schools and housing noting Nassau County as a recent offender regarding discriminatory real estate practices. The photographic history of all of Brooklyn's neighborhoods are well-documented with extensive text in this epic collaborative effort with fellow historian Clarence Taylor.

According to a report published by UCLA's Civil Rights Project, New York has the most segregated schools in the United States. This is is a shocking statistic considering that New York is one of the most liberal states and because 'separate but equal' was dismantled 65 years ago. Why is this?In this episode, Baruch College History Professor Clarence Taylor describes the interesting history behind the City's feeble attempts to integrate after Brown vs. Board of Education. To add to his explanation, professor Taylor discusses how the move to privatize schools and testing contribute to the problem. Finally, host Jonathan Arias askes for the ingredients to quality education and how we can improve the teaching professions. Professor Taylor is professor emeritus of history at Baruch College in New York City and the author of 7 books including Black Religious Intellectuals: the fight for Equality from Jim Crow to the 21st Century and Reds at the Blackboard: communism, civil rights, and the New York City teachers union Professor Taylor is a native New Yorker having attended public schools in East New York and Canarsie. He began his career as a teacher in the New York City public school system before acquiring his Ph.D. in American History. His research is on modern civil rights and black power movements, African American religion and modern history of New York City.

In his most new book Fight the Power: African Americans and the Long History of Police Brutality in New York City (NYU Press, 2018), Clarence Taylor, dean of the history of the civil rights movement in New York, looks at black resistance to police brutality in the city, and institutional efforts to hold the NYPD accountable, since the late 1930s and '40s. ​“Many people think that police brutality is a recent phenomenon,” says Taylor, professor emeritus at Baruch College and The Graduate Center of City University of New York. But, in fact, it has a long, sordid history, going back even further than the years covered in this new book. And long before the era of cellphones, black newspapers did their own investigations when men, women, and children were beaten or killed by the police. (Louis Lomax, the first African-American journalist to appear regularly on television news, commented in the early 1960s that, if not for police brutality, the black press would have "considerable blank space.") Taylor also looks at the history of the Civilian Complaint Review Board, first proposed after the Harlem riots of 1935 and 1943. La Guardia and the mayors who followed refused to challenge the NYPD's power, which is why it took nearly fifty years to establish an independent public agency to investigate allegations of abuse.

During my early years as a graduate student in history, I took a course at the CUNY Graduate Center called "From Civil Rights to Black Power," taught by Professor Clarence Taylor. The readings for the course, along with Professor Taylor's radical approach to American racial politics, completely rearranged my perceptions about race and American society, and helped set me on a path to becoming a radical historian myself. His most recent book, Reds at the Blackboard: Communism, Civil Rights, and the New York City Teachers Union (Columbia University Press, 2011), historicizes the complex interaction between the radical Left and the wider politics of education. In this conversation, he talks about his years in New York City's public high school system and his evolving views on liberalism, conservatism, and the direction of radical politics in the age of Obama.
