Welcome to The Alpha Black Podcast, I am your host Ulysses “Butch” Slaughter.  In this episode, I'm going to bring you into the crucial conflict focused on my effort to have a Pennsylvania courthouse renamed for a Black boy named Alexander McClay Williams. In June 1931, Williams was executed by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania after he was falsely accused of stabbing a white woman at The Glen Mills School in Glen Mills Pennsylvania. Though Williams was exonerated of this crime in June 2022, I believe - like so many others - that his exoneration is not enough to honor his name. On behalf of a national justice alliance, I petitioned Delaware County Council in Media, Pennsylvania, to rename the juvenile courthouse which is currently named for the judge who sentenced Alexander to death. That man's name is W. Roger Fronefield.  With blessings from some of Alexander's family - including his 93-year-old sister - I set out with the alliance to make this historic name change a reality. There is no courthouse in The United States of America named for a Black boy.  On June 21, 2023, a group of protestors including a man named Sam Lemon went into the chambers of Delaware County Council and attempted to scandalize my name and the efforts of  our national alliance. Joined by some members from Alexander's family, Lemon led the cry that his great-grandfather's name should be on the juvenile courthouse. Lemon's great-grandfather, registered as the first Black attorney in Delaware County, attempted to represent Alexander McClay Williams before the state put the boy to death in 1931. 

Former Baltimore Ravens and Temple University Running Back Bernard Pierce shares his football journey with us. He discusses falling in love with the game of football at a young age, but following the wrong crowd landed him in trouble. Facing charges as a youth, Bernard was sent to Glen Mills School a reform school for juveniles delinquents for 2 and half years. Instead of solely focusing on his time, he excelled in track and football. He talks about not wanting his mother to come visit him because it was very difficult not being able to leave with her. Ultimately, Bernard earns multiple scholarships offers and chose to attend Temple University. His impact on the field as a playmaker was almost immediate. Bernard would go onto have a break out freshman year. Through his college career he would help the resurgent of the Temple football program, participating in two bowls games, All-American status and making the Heisman watchlist. These great accomplishments did not come with out lows, as Bernard would lose his father. Bernard tells a personal story of leaving school and contemplate playing football after losing his grandmother during the practices for Eagle Bank Bowl. He would declare for the NFL draft after his junior season as his son was on the way. He was selected in the third round by the Baltimore Ravens, and in his first season he would win a Super Bowl Championship. Bernard talks about still having the passion for the game of football and wanting to leave the game on his own terms.

What do you do as a parent when your kids are mistreated by school faculty. In the case of Glen Mills School things got to the point where the law had to step in and all students were removed from the campus. With a secret history of physically abusing students its a wonder how this schools culture went without repercussion for so long. My wife and I often have hypothetical conversations about how we would handle things if our children were in the same situation. However with our kids too young for school I really want to pass the question off and hear what you guys think. Have you been in this situation as a parent? Do you know someone whose gone through this? How did you or they approach things?
