Author Orice Jenkins tells the full story of Ulysses Goolsby and the Early County massacre more than 100 years later. The Early County Massacre has been known as the Grandison Goolsby War for over a century, focusing on the events of December 30th, 1915, when 46-year-old Grandison used gunfire to defend himself from a lynching mob. Lesser known is that the incident started two days earlier when Grandison's son was attacked on his way to a wedding, and that it all led to the Supreme Court of Georgia sending that same son to death row five years later. The career highlights of Orice Jenkins have covered more ground than he ever could've imagined as a singer-songwriter, genealogy researcher and executive director of a nonprofit organization.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/20/2024): 3:05pm- During cross-examination in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial, witness Michael Cohen conceded that he once stole $30,000 from his former employer, the Trump Organization. How could any member of the jury view Cohen as a credible witness? 3:15pm- While speaking with Bloomberg News, CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change Bernice King said: "I think there are people in the black community that are feeling like not a lot has changed, especially economically in the black community and I think many of them are being driven by that…especially black males who seem to be more attracted to Donald Trump and his candidacy." 3:25pm- CNN Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten revealed that recent polling shows Donald Trump currently has 22% support among black voters—he was at 9% in 2020. 3:40pm- Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner—Mayor of the Borough of Mendham, New Jersey & Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her campaign and recently being endorsed by former President Donald Trump during his rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, where an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 people were in attendance.

We are done with another long day of court. The prosecution rested its case against Trump today, and the defense got through a significant portion of its own. If things go according to schedule, the defense will rest tomorrow, and the jury will be excused for the rest of the week, returning after the holiday weekend to hear closing arguments.” You can read more updates here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/20/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money?smid=url-share#ee4f4407-bdd5-55d9-b1cc-8b49e99df75a 5:40pm- Steven Bucci—Visiting Fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Phillip N. Truluck Center for Leadership Development—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday. Earlier today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explicitly stated: “the United States had no part to play in that crash.” Bucci notes that Iran may try to blame America or Israel—though, it seems pretty clear this was the result of aged equipment and poor flying conditions. Could this death lead to revolution? Or will Ayatollah Ali Khamenei successfully stifle dissent? Bucci served America for three decades as an Army Special Forces officer and top Pentagon official. 6:05pm- Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has received outsized media attention after delivering the commencement address at Benedictine College—where he argued the importance of having both parents in the home.

  Finding Your Roots with Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. is one of the popular TV shows on PBS. Every Tuesday at 8 p.m., Dr. Gates leads a celebrity through their family histories. What makes the show so fascinating are the mysteries uncovered about their families. Recently, Finding Your Roots did something it had never done before – it offered viewers of the program – people who aren't considered celebrities – an opportunity to go on the show and trace their families' roots. Nine-thousand viewers applied. Three were chosen to appear on the show. Megan Robertson of Mechanicsburg was one of them and she was with us Thursday on The Spark. On the show, the family mystery Megan was most interested in learning more about centered on her great-grandfather, "Green Marshall Church was born in North Carolina, and we knew very little about him as a person because his son, my grandfather. My grandfather's name was Eugene Dewey Church. Everybody called him Dude. And, my grandfather was only about five years old when Green passed away. He was a railroad worker in West Virginia and was tragically killed on the railroad. So my grandfather didn't have any information about his dad, so there was no information to be had because although Green's widow -- my dad remembers her -- they called her Ma Church. Although he knew her, I don't know that Green shared a lot about his past because it was maybe painful for him. I don't know that he shared it with his wife, his widow, so there was no information to be had by anybody. So, I remember growing up and when we would do school projects on our background or hey, where'd your last name come from? I would go to my dad and he said, where did Church come from? And he was like, well, we can go back to here, but we don't know. So we were always told that was his adopted name, and we didn't know what his actual last name would have been." Megan said she learned a lot about great-grandfather, Green Church, including his military service record,"What I know about Green, he was a veteran of World War I. He served in France during World War I, and I don't know what they put it in the episode, but I know what battles he was in over there now. I didn't know any of that. I mean, we had some of his service records from from the military, but we didn't know a whole lot about that." The Finding Your Roots episode that tells Megan's family story airs Tuesday night, April 9 at 8 p.m. on PBS nationally and WITF-TV. Megan hasn't seen the episode, so she doesn't know what was left in the program or edited out from the six-hour taping. The Finding Your Roots producers asked that she not divulge too much information before the show is broadcast, but she did say she learned the identity of Green Church's father and more about her family on both her father and mother's side.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is a renowned historian, author, scholar, filmmaker, and is the Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. This week, Gates joins host Charlotte Alter and reflects on his formative years in the working-class mill town of Piedmont, West Virginia, his early education during the pivotal era of school desegregation, and his experiences watching the civil rights movement unfold in America. The pair delve into the power of genealogy, as Gates shares insights from his groundbreaking series "Finding Your Roots," and discusses how uncovering family histories can provide profound understanding of American heritage, individual identity, and the interconnectedness of all people beneath the surface of skin color. In discussing Gates' latest book, “The Black Box: Writing The Race,” the pair unpack the significance of "checking boxes” in today's shifting landscape of racial discourse and cultural identity, the history and future of affirmative action, and how the backlash to America's first Black presidency has impacted how Gates teaches African American studies. Tune in for a deeply informative look into the narratives that shape our understanding of race, history, and ourselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeh Johnson is a partner in the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP and the former Secretary of Homeland Security (2013-2017), General Counsel of the Department of Defense (2009-2012), General Counsel of the Department of the Air Force (1998-2001), and an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York (1989-1991). In private life, in addition to practicing law, Johnson is on the board of directors of Lockheed Martin, U.S. Steel, MetLife, the Council on Foreign Relations, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City, and is a trustee of Columbia University. Johnson is frequent commentator on national and homeland security matters on NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg TV and other news networks, and has written op-eds in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill, Lawfare, and elsewhere.  As of March 2022, Johnson also hosts a classic R&B radio show on FM public radio station WBGO, 88.3FM, based in Newark, NJ.   As Secretary of Homeland Security, Johnson was the head of the third largest cabinet department of the U.S. government, consisting of 230,000 personnel and 22 components, including TSA, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Services, U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and FEMA. Johnson's responsibilities as Secretary included counterterrorism, cybersecurity, aviation security, border security, port security, maritime security, protection of our national leaders, the detection of chemical, biological and nuclear threats to the homeland, and response to natural disasters.  In three years as Secretary of DHS, Johnson is credited with management reform of the Department, which brought about a more centralized approach to decision-making in the areas of budgets, acquisition and overall policy.  Johnson also raised employee morale across the Department, reflected in the September 2016 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.  As General Counsel of the Department of Defense, Johnson is credited with being the legal architect for the U.S. military's counterterrorism efforts in the Obama Administration.  In 2010, Johnson co-authored the report that paved the way for the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell by Congress later that year. In his book Duty, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wrote that Johnson "proved to be the finest lawyer I ever worked with in government - a straightforward, plain-speaking man of great integrity, with common sense to burn and a good sense of humor."  According to published reports, Johnson provided the opinion that was the legal basis for U.S. special forces to enter Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011.    Johnson is a 2022 recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, a 2021 recipient of the American Lawyer's Lifetime Achievement Award, as “an American statesman [who] has devoted his career to the public interest,” and a 2018 recipient of the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Award, presented at the Reagan Presidential Library, for “contribut[ing] greatly to the defense of our nation,” and “guiding us through turbulent times with courage and wisdom.”  In 2020 the Chief Judge of New York State asked Johnson to conduct a comprehensive review of equal justice in the New York State courts.  On October 1, 2020 Johnson issued a public report with his findings and recommendations, all of which the Chief Judge has committed to adopting.  Johnson has debated at both the Cambridge and Oxford Unions in England, and in November 2019 was conferred honorary life membership in the Cambridge Union.  Johnson is a graduate of Morehouse College (1979) and Columbia Law School (1982) and the recipient of 13 honorary degrees.   Johnson married “the girl next-door,” literally, Dr. Susan DiMarco, in 1994. Susan is a retired dentist, a volunteer at the southern border and in numerous other activities, and, at the request of the U.S. Navy, is the sponsor of the Virginia-class submarine USS NEW JERSEY (SSN-796).  In February 2023, Johnson and his family history were profiled on an episode of PBS' Finding Your Roots. For Jazz fans, tune into “All Things Soul with Jeh Johnson", once a month on Saturdays from 8 – 10 am on WBGO 88.3 FM.   On this episode, Secretary Johnson shares his one way ticket to Birmingham, Alabama on May 20, 1961, to resume the Freedom Rides, and highlights the role they had in the US Civil Rights Movement. During the course of our conversation, he also covers his family history as unearthed by Henry Louis Gates on Finding Your Roots, how he approached managing the Department of Homeland Security, concerns about cybersecurity and AI and his love for classic R&B which he features on his radio show.

The White House bragged about its diverse workplace this week but failed to recognize what the American people are actually concerned about. Jill Biden hinted at a possible re-election campaign for her husband, Joe Biden. A couple of House Democrats are pushing a measure to bar former President Donald Trump and multiple other figures from entering the U.S. Capitol. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will boycott media appearances on NBC News and MSNBC shows, according to his press team, until one of the networks' star reporters apologizes for a question she posed about the governor's education policies. Angela Davis, a far-left activist, communist, and former Black Panther, discovered on a recent episode of PBS' "Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr." that she is descended from the Mayflower pilgrims and that her ancestors were slave owners. These revelations caused some to demand she pay reparations.
