1. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro discusses the 1936 premiere of *Macbeth* at Harlem's Lafayette Theater, a landmark integrated event during the Jim Crow era. Shapiro introduces his book, *The Playbook*, detailing the Federal Theater Project's role in American democracy. He highlights Harry Hopkins, FDR's advisor who spearheaded the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Hopkins established "Federal One," a program designed to employ artists, musicians, and writers. Hopkins insisted that professionals, such as violinists, be employed in their specific fields to entertain and serve the public during the Great Depression. (1)1915

Since Donald Trump's reelection, hundreds of scholars have warned that the United States is sliding from a democracy toward some form of authoritarianism. Experts point to the erosion of democratic values, from civil liberties to free and fair elections.This is not the first time the United States has confronted authoritarianism on its own soil. Scholars argue that it is rooted in the racist policies of the Jim Crow era in the 19th and 20th centuries.On Midday Edition, we discuss the significance of that history and lessons for the present political moment. Plus, a San Diego trailblazer offers a personal perspective on the Civil Rights Movement and the ongoing fight against racism and discrimination.Guests:T.J. Tallie, professor of history, University of San DiegoDee Sanford, board member for the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA, chair of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Human Dignity Award Breakfast

Listen in as I talk with Stacia Moffett, the acclaimed author of the "Lost and Found in Tennessee" series.  Stacia's novels, including “The Missing Girl” and “Jessa is Back,” offer a compelling exploration of the South's complex history, cultural dynamics, and enduring legacies. Born and raised on a small farm near Nashville, Stacia's experiences growing up in the Jim Crow South deeply influenced her writing and her perspectives on racial and social justice. Here are the questions I asked Stacia: Reflecting on your childhood near Nashville on a small farm, how did rural life and your father's artistic spirit influence your worldview and writing? ·      How did the Jim Crow era shape your understanding of the South's cultural and racial dynamics, both personally and in your writing? ·      How did witnessing segregation and white supremacy inspire the "Lost and Found in Tennessee" series? ·      Why is it important to address racial and social justice in literature today? ·      What message would you give to those who may not recognize ongoing racial injustices? Before we move on, I am so appreciative of our sponsors and must thank them. Please support our sponsors and tell them you heard about them on Hilary Topper on Air. Special thanks to the Russo Law Group, P.C. - Long Island's Signature Estate Planning, Elder Law and Special Needs law firm, PlayTri - Swim, Bike Run! – a retail and online bike shop and multisport specialist, Medi-Dyne -  injury prevention and pain relief products and Vimazi- pace tuned running shoes. ·      Stacia, back to you. What are your thoughts on the rise of book bans, particularly those targeting race and identity? ·      Do you believe diverse narratives should remain accessible for all readers? Why or why not? ·      For readers unfamiliar with "The Missing Girl" and "Jessa is Back," can you set the stage and explain how the two books are connected? ·      Why is the friendship between the girls central to the story, and how does it reflect themes like resilience, loyalty, and social dynamics? ·      Can you talk about your vineyard in Washington and how it connects to your love of nature? ·      And finally, Stacia, how can our listeners get in touch with you or learn more about your books? Thank you, Stacia, for being on the show! I'd also like to thank our sponsors once more.

During the Reconstruction Era, African Americans were granted basic Civil Rights after the Civil War. A number of eras and movements occurred afterward, such as the Jim Crow Era and the Civil Rights movement to further the fight for equality in this country. Where are we now with the understanding of where we are as a country today? What have we accomplished? What is in our way? We take a look back on our conversations about race, social justice, and civil rights with Rudy Nickens, Starsky Wilson, and Amy Hunter.   What were your thoughts on this episode?

Eric Groth, president of ODB Films and executive producer of “Wildcat” stops by the show to talk about the film about the late Catholic author Flannery O'Connor. ODB Films is an award-winning not-for-profit Catholic film company whose mission is to foster an encounter with Christ through artfully made, spiritually rich films.  Their newest movie, “Wildcat” was written and directed by Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke and details O'Connor's struggle to publish her first novel.  Flannery O'Connor was a devout Catholic living in the Jim Crow Era south in the 50s and 60s.  When she was 23 years old, she began writing, hoping to leave her home in Georgia and see the world. At age 25, she was diagnosed with Lupus. Over the next 14 years O'Connor wrote “A Prayer Journal,” more than 30 short stories and two novels.  Eric explains why he believes her writing was so important.  “She was addressing a very contentious, racist south.  As a Catholic, she was really calling out a lot of Protestant brothers and sisters -- she was calling out the church that would be worshiping Jesus on Sunday and wearing the Ku Klux Klan hoods on Monday, and the culture of white supremacy that was masked as Christian ethics.”   “She wrote a lot about grace and her stories were tough, because we want heroes in stories and in her stories, [we wonder] ‘Who's the protagonist? Who's the antagonist?'” Eric continues. “But she showed how God delivers grace, however God wants to deliver grace, and we as humans often resist grace because it can be painful.” Father Dave and Eric discuss the origins of this movie and how it began 10 years ago with Ethan's daughter, Maya Hawke.  “This really started with her,” Eric says. “She was 15 and going to Catholic school in New York and she read Flannery's “A Prayer Journal” and fell in love with this woman.” Maya would later go on to ask her dad to write and direct a movie about O'Connor that she could star in.  Eric and ODB films were eventually approached for financing and a producing partnership.  Eric tells Father Dave what attracted him to the film: “I love my Catholic Faith. I Love our stories and telling great stories and she [O'Connor] was a bit of a mystery.” “This film was super special for a lot of reasons,” Eric says. “Flannery was a devout Catholic, so we could bring the beauty of the Catholic faith naturally and organically in telling the story without ever having to force it in any way.”

Crownsville Hospital in Anne Arundel County was Maryland's infamous segregated mental health asylum, and the only such facility available to Black people in Maryland between 1911 and desegregation in the 1960s. A new book by NBC and MSNBC journalist Antonia Hylton traces the history of Crownsville Hospital, the struggles and triumphs of its patients, the lives of its staff and medical personnel and what this singular institution tells us about mental illness, racism and community in America. Along the way, Hylton grapples with her own family's experiences with mental illness, and the shame that blossomed in secrecy and darkness for generations.

In this episode, we are honored to have Martha Bireda, Ph.D., sharing her experiences of growing up during the Jim Crow era. In this episode, Martha highlights the importance of not seeing oneself as a victim, even in the face of adversity, and explores the complex concept of reparations beyond just financial compensation. She takes us on a journey back to her childhood, where segregation was not openly discussed, but the division between white and African American communities was palpable. Martha shares stories from her hometown of Punta Gorda and the vibrant African American cities of that time. Education is a recurring theme in our conversation, as Martha discusses the power it holds in both empowering and disempowering individuals. She also reflects on her own experiences of racial identity and the importance of maintaining one's authentic self in a society that often imposes expectations. Join us as we delve deeper into these powerful stories and insights, and together, explore the impact of the Jim Crow era on our understanding of identity, education, and community.

Last week, a nonpartisan science news nonprofit called Climate Central released new modeling showing that a huge swath of New Orleans residents live in areas where the temperature is hotter due to their surroundings.
