The Pantex Nuclear Facility near Panhandle, Texas, for years has played host to UFO incursions, most recently in 2015 when a diamond-shaped UAP appeared above the plant. Also, additional information with regard to home security camera footage from 2022 that possibly captured alien activity is presented. Finally, St. Louis man Christopher Dunn - who's been in prison for nearly 35 years for murder - was released recently in part to testimony delivered by renowned crime scene reconstruction expert Scott Roder during a May 2024 court proceeding. Roder astonished the UFO community last April when he presented scientific proof that established that 8-to-10-foot-tall alien beings were captured on cellphone video by a Las Vegas family in May 2023.

Word In Black — a digital news collaborative that includes 10 Black newspapers across the U.S., including the St. Louis American — has moved from pilot to public benefit corporation. STLPR race, identity, and culture reporter Andrea Henderson speaks to what the change means for local Black publishers, and for Black journalists serving African American communities across the country.

The St. Louis American was published in 1928 to give the Black Community a voice. Carol sits down with Dr. Donald Suggs, Publisher of the St. Louis American, on what role this publication has today, journalism now, and his career. 

Today's guest expert shares insights on how large organizations can nurture and empower rising leaders and unready organizations.Kwofe Coleman is President & CEO of the Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis (The Muny). After beginning his Muny career in 1998 as an usher, he has advanced through the administrative ranks at The Muny, including staff accountant, house manager, digital communications manager, director of marketing and communications, managing director, and became president of the nation's oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre since 2021.As President & CEO, Kwofe leads the historic theatre into its 105th season of producing live musical theatre on a grand scale. He maintains overall accountability, responsibility and authority for the management of the business and affairs of The Muny in accordance with its mission. Through this role he continues to embrace and articulate the artistic and institutional vision, develop progressive income streams and new strategic initiatives to deepen the organization's community engagement, educational and outreach efforts. Kwofe was instrumental in navigating the theatre through the pandemic. He also played a key role in The Muny's successful $100 million Second Century Capital Campaign.Kwofe is the board president of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre (NAMT) and is an active contributor to the St. Louis community, serving on the Commerce Bank Advisory Board, St. Louis University High School Board of Trustees, Cor Jesu Academy Advisory Council, and as a founding board member of Atlas School. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Saint Louis Club and supports various social service organizations.In 2020 Kwofe was recognized by The St. Louis Business Journal in its “40 Under 40” class. He was a Fellowship Advisor for the DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland (2018) and a recipient of The St. Louis American's Salute to Young Leaders Award (2015). In addition to his Muny work, Kwofe consults for various concerts, artist development, management and production projects, including executive producer for 2020's A New Holiday, a short musical film created by LIFE Creative Group and broadcast on local PBS networks.MAIN TAKEAWAYS:Alex worked at a women's shelter in his early 20s, which he said was emotionally taxing at times. Kwofe was a death penalty investigator for the Southern Center for Human Rights and built relationships with each person he worked with to understand their unique situation. Kwofe said the work had great value to him and any discomfort he felt didn't trump the client's reality. Doing the best job possible for the client required an emotional investment for the client to have trust in his work. You can do everything right in a job and do your absolute best and there's no change. You have to figure out how to advance over the issue. Kwofe started from the bottom, but he's now here, at the top. At 16 years old, he worked at the Muny as an usher and advanced through the administrative ranks at The Muny, including staff accountant, house manager, digital communications manager, director of marketing and communications, and managing director, and became president of the nation's oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre since 2021. Kwofe said he stayed because it was a great opportunity and a community-based and important art institute in St. Louis.People are more aware of who they are individually and comfortable with who they are. The stories and plays at the Muny aren't rewritten but show a wonderful world of diversity. To prepare the leadership that comes up after you, train those who look and don't look like you. Invest in the next generation. (ie have internship and education programs for college and high school students) and show them the art form and opportunities available to...

In March 2013, the Normandy School District's board hired Ty McNichols as its superintendent. By January 2015, McNichols was gone, resigned from the post after gaining what had been a career ambition—to lead a school district.In the course of those 22 months, McNichol ran into a buzzsaw of state and local politics, financial crisis, plummeting morale, personal attacks and lightly veiled racism as he navigated the sudden loss of accreditation for the district. Oh, and by the way, McNichols and his team had to educate 4,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.The drama began to unfold within weeks of McNichols taking on the role offered by the elected school board for the north St. Louis County district. The chronically underperforming district needed a leader with ideas about improving student performance. The board thought McNichols might have the right ideas. By June, however, the state of Missouri had stripped Normandy of its accreditation, setting in motion a series of issues and unintended consequences.That included accommodating hundreds of students given authority to flee the district for a neighboring, fully accredited district. Those moves came on Normandy's dime—indeed, a lot of dimes Normandy didn't have. And it put the mostly Black and brown students of Normandy in the crosshairs of a somewhat hostile reception from the mostly white district identified to accept them.“What are the things I value? What was I willing to do and what not? Education is a political action for social justice,” McNichols said. “That's what drove me.”Our story is about how a leader confronts wildly competing priorities when the stakes are high—arguably no higher than the education of children. Can you strive for great? Must you settle for acceptable? Is this about making the best of a bad situation?RELATED LINKSTyrone McNichols named Normandy superintendent, St. Louis American, March 14, 2013McNichols resigns as Normandy superintendent, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, January 22, 2015Saint Rice on LinkedInWashington University's Institute for School PartnershipCREDITSThis podcast is a production of Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.

Before social media, newspapers provided a key way to communicate and to gain information, especially for the Black community. The St. Louis Palladium, The St. Louis Argus and The St. Louis American were among the early pioneers of the African American press.  Just press play to hear the whole story. -----  Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Cicely Hunter, Civil Rights, Journalism, Black History,  Business, ------  Podcast Transcript: I'm Cicely Hunter, Public Historian from the Missouri Historical Society, and here's history, on eighty-eight-one, KDHX. ——— Technology has transformed the way we communicate, and social media has become a tool for entertainment and a place to discuss important topics. While today we have Instagram and Facebook, for much of the 20th century and beyond, African Americans relied on Black newspapers as a conventional way to communicate with each other due to the lack of coverage in other newspaper outlets. This allowed Black people to be informed across rivers, railways, within Black churches, clubs, and other fraternal organizations. African Americans were dedicated to producing their own newspapers to emphasize racial pride, promote Black businesses, and recognize important and everyday people of their time. Some of the early St. Louis papers included the St. Louis Palladium, National Tribune, Pythian Voice, and American Eagle which were founded in the late 1800s before St. Louis Argus and The St. Louis American. Black newspapers provided ways to communicate information, entertain, and advise the Black community about key topics. ——— For example, on July 16, 1904, the St. Louis Palladium republished an article called “Abandon Meeting at Fair” detailing that the executive committee of the National Association of Colored Women planned to host their convention at the World's Fair, but Booker T. Washington's wife vehemently disagreed by indicating that “the exposition directors had discriminated against Colored women in the matter of securing employment on the grounds and against the race in general.” When a vote was held to determine the location for it, delegates voted to move it to St. Paul AME church. ——— The St. Louis Palladium no longer remains in print, but the St. Louis American which was founded in 1928 continues to serve as a key staple for the African American community and is currently the single largest weekly newspaper in the entire state of Missouri. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX. I'm Cicely Hunter and this is eighty-eight-one, KDHX, St. Louis. ———

There have many heroes in the struggle for equity and civil rights. Few had the longevity of Nathan B. Young.  In his 98 years, he was a judge, as well as being a co-founder of the St. Louis American Newspaper, and a painter, among many other accomplishments. Just press play to hear the whole story. ------  Click on search links to explore episodes with related content: Cicely Hunter, Black History, Journalism, Legal Matters, Civil Rights, People of Note, ------    Podcast Transcript: I'm Cicely Hunter, Public Historian from the Missouri Historical Society, and here's history, on eighty-eight-one, KDHX. ------ Nathan B. Young, a prominent African American judge in St. Louis, lived to be 98, passing away in 1993. It's amazing to think about what he experienced over those years, things like the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, and the desegregation busing era. His life was interesting from the very beginning. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1894, he lived next door to Booker T. Washington. ——— Judge Young graduated with his bachelor's degree from Florida A&M and a law degree from Yale University Law School in 1918. As a young attorney in Birmingham, Judge Young was targeted and threatened by the Ku Klux Klan due to his involvement with the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Judge Young decided to migrate north with his wife, Mamie, and practiced law in St. Louis. He described the city as an “oasis compared to Birmingham, Alabama, at the time in 1924.” ——— A few years later he co-founded the St. Louis American, an African American weekly newspaper, which was soon being circulated to over 2,000 readers. Young contributed an editorial in every single issue for over forty years. One of his first articles focused on the work of A. Philip Randolph, a labor unionist and civil rights advocate, who Young described as an “unsung hero.” Randolph experienced many challenges fighting “to get recognition as a regular labor organization from the Pullman Company which had set up its own porters' union.” ——— Young enjoyed researching local Black history and developed an expertise, even writing a history of African Americans in St. Louis in 1937. When the civil rights movement was discussed, Judge Young concluded that St. Louis was important to the civil rights movement as a city with a strong Black activism presence and there were several cases that received national attention like Dred and Harriet Scott's freedom suit, Shelley v Kraemer and Gaines v Canada. ——— Judge Young was named the first African American municipal judge for City Court #2 in St. Louis by Mayor Alfonso Cervantes in December of 1965. He would retire as judge in 1972 but continued to influence the community. In honor of Black history month, let's recognize local African Americans like Judge Nathan B. Young Jr. who shared Black history with his community and now contributes to the legacy of our city. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX.
