We begin today with a conversation about hunger in Maryland. Elliot Jaspin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has written a multipart series for the great website, Maryland Matters, about the scope of the problem, which persists not just in poor neighborhoods in Baltimore City, but in places like Anne Arundel County. Jaspin points out that Anne Arundel is one of the richest counties in our state, which is itself the richest state in the country. Yet the number of children in Anne Arundel County who are eligible for a free school lunch has skyrocketed in the last 10 years, up 81%. Jaspin looked into why that is, and the result is a revelatory and assiduously reported series, which you can read here. Elliot Jaspin joins Tom in Studio A. Also joining us is Michael J. Wilson, the director of Maryland Hunger Solutions, an organization advocating in the General Assembly for a number of bills around the issue of hunger.

Elliot Jaspin shares his views on the System of White Supremacy. A White man, Jaspin is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author of Buried In The Bitter Waters: The Hidden History of Racial Cleansing In America. Elliot Jaspin's work chronicles the disgraceful, intentional disposal/expulsion of black people throughout the area of the world known as the United States. He explicitly highlights how Victims of White Supremacy do not belong to a community. Consequently, they can be jettisoned at any time. This extremely important text provides comprehensive evidence that Whites conducted more than 260 terrorist purges against black citizens. The following exert is from page 61 of the book: "What followed was an orgy of violence. On May, 17 [1918], two blacks were grabbed at random by a mob and quite literally shot to pieces. It was estimated that 700 bullets were fired into them. The next day Hayes Turner, suspected of being part of the black conspiracy, was lynched. His body, left hanging for two days, became a grisly tourist attraction for local whites. Sidney Johnson was tracked to Valdosta and shot to death. When Turner's wife, Mary, threatened to find his killer and swear out arrest warrants, her "unwise remarks" became a death sentence. The day after her husband died, the mob grabbed Mary, eight months pregant, hung her upside down from a tree, doused her with gasoline, set her on fire, then disemboweled her and tore out the fetus. The baby gave a feeble cry before a member of the mob stomped it to death. Although the exact death toll will never be known, the mob murdered at least eleven people."
