Phillips Hospital, 1937-1979, a segregated hospital in the heart of Black St Louis, Missouri The Ville and Its Champions of the Community: Kids raised in a walkable community where the folks look like them - doctors, nurses, lawyers, tradesmen, and business owners; where wealth stayed in the community. The Story of Segregation in St Louis by Jeanette Cooperman, October 17, 2014. "St. Louis is divided along many lines. And race plays a role in every one of those divisions. It also determines our future, because if you make a transparent map of racial segregation and lay it over other maps political power, cultural influence, health, wealth, education, and employment the pattern repeats." #Redlined: A St Lous Story by Jacobi Commons. Exposing deeply-rooted systems of redlining that have disproportionately affected Black and Brown people dating back to the 1920's. 1915 Initiative Petition avoided mixed blocks occupied by both white and colored people "...written to the Board of Election Commissioners petitioning White and "Colored" citizens to live separately. In Section 1 and Section 2, the petition describes the strict requirements that would be upheld in a new St. Louis ordinance, mandating specific "blocks" be created. Section 3 defined the word "block". Later sections of the petition have been omitted, but included penalties that will be carried out if ordinances are broken by either race group." In How Racism Takes Place, George Lipsitz writes that in St. Louis, protection of white property and privilege guided nearly all decisions about law and policies that promoted the establishment of new small and exclusive suburban municipalities with restrictive zoning codes.

In a gesture witnessed around the world, Tommie Smith’s raised fist at the 1968 Olympics, with fellow US sprinter John Carlos, connected with and inspired future athletes to take part in social and political activism. Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem, WNBA players wearing Black Lives Matter adorned jerseys in games—such recent acts are part of Smith’s legacy. In this two-part episode, hear from Smith and artist Glenn Kaino about their long collaboration on a body of work paying homage to this moment and the timelessness of taking a stand. Dr. Harry Edwards, a St. Louis/East St. Louis native, also joins the episode to share how his segregated upbringing laid the foundation for him to contribute to the Olympic Project for Human Rights and the rise of sports sociology. All three participants explore the potential for athletics to serve as a metaphor for creating an arena for social change, and the imagination, ambition, and courage required to do so.Glenn Kaino is an artist whose works, often functioning as poetic contradictions, aim to reconcile conflicting ideologies, opposing systems, and strict dichotomies in material and experiential ways. In addition to his studio practice, he also operates outside the traditional purview of contemporary art, instigating collaborations with other modes of culture—ranging from tech to music to political organizing. He has collaborated on a consciousness-raising body of work with Tommie Smith since 2013.Tommie Smith is an activist and athlete who, in Mexico City in the summer of 1968, broke the world and Olympic records with a time of 19.83 seconds and became the 200-meter Olympic champion. As the Star-Spangled Banner played, Smith and John Carlos stood on the victory podium and raised a fist in a historic stand for Black power, liberation, and solidarity. Dr. Smith made a commitment to dedicate his life, even at great personal risk, to champion the causes of oppressed people. Dr. Harry Edwards is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. He was born in Homer G. Phillips Hospital and raised in East St. Louis before he moved to California. There, he organized the Olympic Project for Human Rights, the movement that encouraged Tommie Smith and John Carlos to raise a fist at the 1968 Olympics. He is the author of the seminal book The Revolt of the Black Athlete.-As a major component of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis's exhibition Stories of Resistance, Radio Resistance assembles the voices of intersecting local and global agents of change. Artists featured in the exhibition are paired with figures from the past, present, and future of St. Louis, coming together to transmit messages of dissent. Eleven episodes will be released over the course of the exhibition, amplifying shared struggles, collective dreams, and models of individual and group action. Using a historically rebellious medium, Radio Resistance broadcasts social narratives of defiance and hope.Selections of Radio Resistance will be broadcast on St. Louis on the Air, the noontime talk program hosted by Sarah Fenske on St. Louis Public Radio. Full episodes will be released biweekly in a listening station at CAM, and on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher.

The guests for this episode are Joyce Marie Fitzpatrick and Brian Shackelford, the co-producers and co-directors of the documentary The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital. This documentary sheds a light on the disparity between the medical treatment that the African-American community receives as opposed to others; something that we are really seeing these days with the COVID pandemic and the recent Black Lives Matter protests. The Color of Medicine not only tells the astonishing history of the first all-black hospital in St. Louis, but also recognizes and celebrates the achievements of the brave healthcare workers who were among the first black physicians and nurses to be medically trained in the United States. Using this documentary as a framework, this discussion with Joyce Marie Fitzpatrick and Brian Shackelford puts into account the world we are living in right now during the COVID pandemic and the recent Black Lives Matter protests. Many of the stories of the Homer G. Phillips Hospital really parallel things still happening today with Black people in America. This talk with Joyce and Brian is an excellent example of the type of discussions that need to happen between white and Black people, as they not only share things from the history of the hospital, but we share our own experiences and compare outcomes from the white and black perspective.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS Memorial Day Weekend commenced with tempered optimism in Baltimore, Maryland as six enforcement officers were indicted for the death of Freddie Gray. Half of the accused officers are black, and a black officer (Caesar Goodson Jr.) is facing the most severe charge - second-degree "depraved heart" murder. Cleveland, Ohio residents salivate over a possible return to the NBA Finals while simultaneously preparing for potential melees in response to the Michael Brelo verdict; Brelo is the lone Cleveland officer facing criminal charges for a 2012 shooting that left two unarmed black people dead and at least 137 shots fired. Ferguson smoldered in response to Michael Brown Jr.'s killing, there's been far less attention and rage for the alleged horrors of Homer G. Phillips Hospital. Black St. Louis mothers charge that they were given false information that their children died during the delivery process only for their babies to be stolen and sold. And in other news, let Jesse Lee Peterson know that Google is Racist and President Obama resides in the Nigger House.

Black Mother's like Samaria Rice ponder the meaning of such a holiday as an attempted black parent under White Terrorism; it's been almost a year since Timothy Loehmann killed her child, Tamir Rice, was killed, and this week it was reported that she's moved into a homeless shelter. Speaking of dead black sons, Michael Brown, Jr. isn't the only child to be mistreated in metro St. Louis; The Washington Post reported that Homer G. Phillips Hospital is facing allegations of illegally trafficking black children - and falsely telling black mothers that their children are dead. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s boxing triumph earned him almost as much loot as Darren Wilson. But Mayweather's still a nigger. And apparently, money can't protect your children from Racism. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://tiny.cc/ledjb CALL IN NUMBER: 760.569.7676 CODE 564943# SKYPE: FREECONFERENCECALLHD.7676 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
