An expansive volume featuring over two decades of incisive reflections on race, art and pop culture by one of the greatest artists working today This long-awaited and essential volume collects writings and interviews by Glenn Ligon, whose canonical paintings, neons and installations have been delivering a cutting examination of race, history, sexuality and culture in America since his emergence in the late 1980s. No stranger to text, the artist has routinely utilized writings from James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Pryor, Gertrude Stein and others to construct work that centers Blackness within the historically white backdrop of the art world and culture writ large. Ligon began writing in the early 2000s, engaging deeply with the work of peers such as Julie Mehretu, Chris Ofili and Lorna Simpson, as well as with artists who came before him, among them Philip Guston, David Hammons and Andy Warhol. Interweaving a singular voice and a magical knack for storytelling with an astute view of art history and broader cultural shifts, this collection cements Ligon's status as one of the great chroniclers of our time. Glenn Ligon was born in the Bronx in 1960. He began as an abstract painter but shifted to text-based works which often incorporate quotes from Black authors. His work can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this strategic episode of the Schools of Excellence podcast, Chanie Wilschanski sits down with longtime industry expert Kathy Ligon, founder of Hinge Advisors and the BOOST nonprofit initiative, to unpack what it truly takes to lead a financially sustainable school—without compromising your mission.Together, they explore how school leaders can align mission, metrics, and money, and why profit isn't the opposite of purpose—it's what makes your vision possible. If you've ever felt the pressure of payroll, struggled with discounting, or wondered how to strengthen your school operations for long-term sustainability, this conversation offers clarity, structure, and relief.What You'll LearnWhy profit fuels purpose—and how financial clarity protects your missionThe five profit pillars: occupancy, tuition pricing, discount strategy, staffing efficiency, and facilities costHow to identify and eliminate hidden financial leaksStrategies to improve staffing efficiency while increasing staff retentionWhat sustainable leadership looks like across economic cyclesKey Insights and Takeaways1. Purpose Without Profit Is Unsustainable You can't serve your students, support your staff, or lead with confidence if you're losing sleep over cash flow. Financial health gives school leaders the peace of mind and capacity to lead with intention.2. Know Your Five Financial Pillars Occupancy, tuition rates, and discounting drive your revenue. Staffing and facility costs are your biggest expenses. These five pillars account for 95% of your financial outcomes. Some need daily attention—others should be reviewed quarterly.3. The Hidden Cost of Discounting Discounts often erode margins silently. Track full tuition versus actual collected revenue to see what you're really “giving away.” Strategically revisit all discounts—except staff discounts—to reclaim margin and reinforce your school's value.4. Smarter Staffing, Not Cheaper Staffing Reducing staffing costs doesn't mean reducing quality. Build a school culture where staff finish strong—even when ratios drop. Instead of cutting pay, optimize hours and clarify expectations. Retention is more cost-effective than constant turnover.5. Resilience Comes from Readiness After four decades in the industry, Kathy emphasizes that school leaders who adapt quickly—and build financial buffers—are the ones who sustain growth through any season.From public pre-K expansion to economic downturns, having systems that can pivot is non-negotiable.Tools and Action StepsBenchmark Your Financials Use Hinge's free Benchmarking Tool to evaluate tuition, occupancy, and staffing costs frameworkbyhinge.comAudit Your Discount Strategy Update billing systems to track full tuition vs. discounted tuition separately Evaluate where your pricing may be undermining your perceived valueCheck Your Staffing Rhythms Explore opportunities to close early or adjust shifts based on ratios Ensure your team is equipped to support those decisionsQuarterly Financial Review Schedule time each quarter to evaluate the five pillars Use data to guide decisions, not gut reactionsQuote to Remember “There is no possible way for you to provide the purpose or mission… without the money or the profit— they are absolutely necessary for each other.” — Kathy...

This week we review a recent report of 4 patients with serious complications related to either perforation or external compression from the distal tines of the Alterra prestent when used for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement. We speak with Dr. R. Allen Ligon, interventional cardiologist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University about a recent multicenter report of rare complications seen with this prosthesis. How common are perforations seen with this device and how often are these clinically silent? What should be done for clinically silent prestent perforations? What sort of surveillance of all patients with this device is warranted after successful placement? These are amongst the questions posed to Dr. Ligon and discussed this week.

Jeremy Ligon was brought on just in time for the 2021 harvest. Barrel Oak was purchased from its' previous owners and the new ownership wanted to up the quality of the wines from their Vineyard. In my opinion, Jeremy was a significant step up and his wines reflect that. In 2014 Jeremy was recognized as one of the new upcoming winemakers in Virginia as someone to keep an eye on. He has lived up to that from what I have tasted of his new wines from Barrel Oak.There is an intriguing story he relays as to why the previous ownership had planted their Norton vines in the vineyard and why. It turns out it has a connection to Dr. Daniel Norton, who propagated the Norton seedling in the early 1820's.Jeremy got his introduction to winegrowing in his early teens when his family planted a small vineyard in Southern Virginia. The rest is history.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast. For more information go to www.finewineconfidential.com

Usually the things that are the farthest out — that look the least like art to me — are the things that become the most important. American painter Glenn Ligon is one of the most recognizable figures in the contemporary art scene. His distinctive, political work uses repetition and transformation to abstract the texts of 20th-century writers. In this episode, Ligon talks about childhood and what it means to have a parent who fiercely and playfully supports you. He also discusses the essential lesson that there's value in the things you do differently, and why he won't take an afternoon nap in his own studio.
