Kim explores the proposal by Senator Eric Schmidt to make Easter Monday a federal holiday, citing the fact that over 80% of Americans celebrate Easter, even though only two-thirds identify as Christian. While Schmidt argues the holiday would help people spend more time with family and community, Kim remains skeptical, questioning whether we really need another federal holiday. She draws comparisons to other holidays like Juneteenth and Thanksgiving, both of which carry secular and economic motivations for businesses to observe. Despite her personal belief in Easter's significance, Kim isn't sure adding another day off is necessary, particularly in light of the current number of federal holidays and the nation's work culture. The conversation also delves into Good Friday observances and the potential impact on businesses, with Kim considering the idea of voluntary holiday observances as a practical solution.

Professor Michael Vorenberg joins us to address one of the most perplexing questions in US history. Did the Civil War end on April 9, at Appomattox, as conventional wisdom holds, where Lee surrendered to Grant in Wilmer McLean's parlor? Or was it ten weeks afterward, in Galveston, where a federal commander proclaimed Juneteenth the end of slavery? Or perhaps in August of 1866, when President Andrew Johnson simply declared “the insurrection is at an end”? And we talk about the general question of when wars truly end. Fascinating! Episode 578.

One historian's journey to find the end of the Civil War—and, along the way, to expand our understanding of the nature of war itself and how societies struggle to draw the line between war and peace. We set out on the James River, March 25, 1865, aboard the paddle steamboat River Queen. President Lincoln is on his way to General Grant's headquarters at City Point, Virginia, and he's decided he won't return to Washington until he's witnessed, or perhaps even orchestrated, the end of the Civil War. Now, it turns out, more than a century and a half later, historians are still searching for that end. Was it April 9, at Appomattox, as conventional wisdom holds, where Lee surrendered to Grant in Wilmer McLean's parlor? Or was it ten weeks afterward, in Galveston, where a federal commander proclaimed Juneteenth the end of slavery? Or perhaps in August of 1866, when President Andrew Johnson simply declared “the insurrection is at an end”? That the answer was elusive was baffling even to a historian of the stature of Michael Vorenberg, whose work served as a key source of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Vorenberg was inspired to write this groundbreaking book, finding its title in the peace Lincoln hoped for but could not make before his assassination. A peace that required not one but many endings, as Vorenberg reveals in these pages, the most important of which came well more than a year after Lincoln's untimely death. To say how a war ends is to suggest how it should be remembered, and Vorenberg's search is not just for the Civil War's endpoint but for its true nature and legacy, so essential to the American identity. It's also a quest, in our age of “forever wars,” to understand whether the United States's interminable conflicts of the current era have a precedent in the Civil War—and whether, in a sense, wars ever end at all, or merely wax and wane.

This episode is tinged with some frustration. The self reflection it takes to do this work is being bypassed. It is being bypassed by white folks and BIPOC alike. White supremacy is something we all have to put down so that we can pick up Anti Racism understanding.

As part of our Black History Month Rewind at Ms. Studios, we're revisiting some of our favorite past episodes. In our final Rewind, we're revisiting an episode we recorded in 2021, celebrating Juneteenth with Fritz and Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters. In this joyous episode, host Michele Goodwin is joined by music icon Anita Pointer of the three-time Grammy Award-winning R&B group the Pointer Sisters and her brother Fritz Pointer, acclaimed professor and historian and former music manager. They celebrate Juneteenth and unpack their award-winning memoir, Fairytale: The Pointer Sisters' Family Story.Fritz and Anita Pointer discuss coming of age in the civil rights movement; emphasize the importance of tenacity and learning the hard way; and break down what it was like for their family to finally break through and land award after award—all by doing it their own way. As an added bonus, expect to be serenaded by Anita Pointer!Joining us for this episode are two very special guests:Anita Pointer, founding member of the legendary music group the Pointer Sisters. Anita and her sisters found fame in 1973, when the Anita-led “Yes We Can Can” became a hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #11. Their breakthrough resulted in multiple hits and Grammy Awards, including for Best Performance by a Duo or Group and even Best Country Duo or Group. In 1974, Anita's writing talents helped the group make music history with “Fairytale,” which became a hit on the country music charts—leading the Pointer Sisters to become the first Black female group to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. Their hit-making magic kept audiences singing and dancing through the 1980s and '90s and became part of the 2008 Obama campaign playlist.  In 1994, Anita and her sisters received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Anita continues to write, record and perform, maintaining an international touring schedule as a member of the Pointer Sisters.Professor Fritz Pointer is one of the older brothers of June, Bonnie, Anita and Ruth—also known as the Pointer Sisters. His latest book, Fairytale: The Pointer Sisters' Family Story, is a memoir of their life co-authored with his sister, Anita Pointer. No one else knows the family, community, political or social history out of which the Pointer Sisters came as thoroughly and deeply as he does. He managed the group prior to becoming a professor specializing in African and African American history. Pointer has 30 years of experience teaching composition, African and African American humanities, and history in higher education. He has authored two books and several scholarly articles in his area of African literature.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

In this Black History Month episode, The Revs discuss affirmative action, the state of the country and its rapid changes regarding DEI, Black History Month and Juneteenth; and to most of the topics, they have one question: "why?"

As grocery prices continue to rise, the second term Trump Administration focuses  instead on private corporations ridding Diversity Equity and Inclusion initiatives in the workplace.  However,  several companies have pushed back, including Apple and Costco. And during these difficult times, US residents throughout the nation are deciding loyalty matters more than just cheaper prices with their local grocers.Just ask members of the community in Fresno California, where residents came out to support their local Costco. According to the AP, in January, more than 98 percent of the Costco shareholders rejected a proposal urging the wholesale club operator to evaluate any risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion  practices. In January, Trump signed an executive order aimed at terminating DEI programs within federal agencies. Conservatives have long condemned them, arguing they violate the U.S. Constitution by considering factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation. The plan includes leveraging the Justice Department and other agencies to probe private companies pursuing training and hiring practices that conservative critics consider discriminatory against people who do not belong to minority groups, such as white men.  Meanwhile, on the mid-morning of Saturday February 22, 2025, a Show up and Shop event occurred in support of the Costco located on Shaw Ave. near the 99 freeway in Fresno; people were pleased with Costco's decision to keep DEI initiative in place,  So they decided to use their local purchasing power.  Community leader and advisor, Landon Green, of The Freedom Group said this is just the start to this new year-long, Juneteenth community initiative.

Our chat isn't just about music, though. We speculate on who in the rap game could stand toe-to-toe with Kendrick in a battle, with names like Eminem, Nas, and Jay-Z tossed into the ring. And let's not forget the smooth sounds of SZA, whose touch added a unique flair to the show that resonated with audiences far and wide.Celebrating Black History Month, we tip our hats to African-American pioneers in the automotive industry and beyond. With figures like Garrett Morgan and C.R. Patterson leading the charge, we reflect on their legacy and impact. Our talk takes a turn into the intricacies of loyalty and relationships in high-profile circles, analyzing the drama between 50 Cent, Big Meech, and Rick Ross. It's a peek into how personal and professional alliances play out amidst public scrutiny, and what it means to truly support one another.For a lighter touch, we dive into the world of celebrity feuds and outlandish antics. Soulja Boy's unexpected diss track against Marlon Wayans sparks laughter and thoughtful discussion on generational battles in the spotlight. Meanwhile, Kanye West's latest escapades, from Grammy grievances to wild theories about his wife's public persona, provide plenty of fodder for discussion.

Did you know that the Seattle Public Library offers any U.S. resident, ages 13-26, a free “Books Unbanned Card,” which allows you to check out any e-books or e-audiobooks from the Library's digital collection, no matter where you live? This is just one example of how people are resisting new restrictions on information and education across the country. In his new book, Teach Truth, Seattle educator and author Jesse Hagopian discusses these restrictions and offers advice on how to defend antiracist education. Hagopian outlines how numerous states and school districts in recent years have enacted policies or laws mandating how to teach about systemic racism and oppression—policies that impact nearly half of all students in the U.S. Thousands of books have been banned from schools. Teachers face termination, attacks, and disciplinary action. You can be punished, including jail time, for providing access to a banned book. These new changes have old roots in McCarthyism's Red Scare and Lavender Scare. They have strongholds in U.S. history. But there is also strong pushback. Hagopian shows how the fight against them also has a rich legacy, from the resistance to anti-literacy laws for enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter at School movement today. Hagopian calls to defend antiracist education, showing how to reclaim suppressed history by creating beloved classroom communities and healthy social movements. Jesse Hagopian has taught in public schools for over 20 years, serves on the Black Lives Matter at School steering committee, organizes for the Zinn Education Project, and founded the Ethnic Studies course at Seattle's Garfield High School. He is an editor for Rethinking Schools magazine, the co-editor of Black Lives Matter at School and Teaching for Black Lives, and the editor of More Than a Score: The New Uprising Against High Stakes Testing. Dr. Ayva Thomas is a P-12 education and systems leader in and beyond her local community. She has been a speaker, panelist, and thought partner for events like the Zinn Education Project's Teaching for Black Lives campaign, the City of Bothell's DEI work, and the City of Kenmore's Juneteenth Celebration. Wayne Au is Dean and Professor in the University of Washington Bothell School of Educational Studies, and he is an editor for the social justice teaching magazine, Rethinking Schools. A former public high school teacher, he writes and speaks about racial justice in education. Au's most recent book is Asian American Racialization and the Politics of U.S. Education.
