In all its forms, The Color Purple is a powerful account of generational trauma in the Black community. The novel by Alice Walker was published in 1982 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983 before being adapted into a movie by Steven Spielberg starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey. In 2005, the musical version opened on Broadway starring LaChanze with a book by Marsha Norman and a score by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray. Ten years later, the musical came back to Broadway in a 2015 revival and won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical. Actor Isaiah Johnson, who played the role of Mister in the original Broadway cast of the 2015 revival production, opposite Cynthia Erivo, joins us to discuss the musical as we look at the character of Mister and generational trauma. What does it mean to carry the trauma of your ancestors? How does this type of trauma affect people, specifically Black Americans? What tools are there to heal this trauma for those experiencing it? And how can non Black people support Black healing? Experts Curtis Smith, Cymone Fuller, and Dr. Schekeva Hall weigh in, as well.

Mathew Mitchell joined us for an open conversation on the difficult issues of race, diversity, inclusion and equity. Mathew brings a unique perspective having grown up in the conservative community of Lompoc CA. His father is a black man from Memphis TN, his mother an Irish immigrant to America, his sister is married to a woman and Mathew is a happy husband and father in a mixed-race family. Mathew Mitchell was born to be a culture and engagement champion. Mathew and I discussed many issues about the Poway community including diversity (or lack thereof), the healing process after the Poway Chabad shooting, Poway schools, Poway High Football, the hate crime in December 2018 when a swastika was painted on a Jewish family’s home and the special opportunity to create an environment of consciousness and inclusion in our city. (I am hopeful that my podcast can become a community forum where we can discuss these difficult conversations in a civil, respectful manner and learn from one another.) Mathew B. Mitchell and I spent time discussing Bryan Stevenson and the Lynching Memorial in Georgia. We explored the issue of mixed race in the media and in Mathew’s own life. We discuss what white really is and was in terms of WASP vs Irish, Italian, Catholics, etc. We touch on a range of other topics including white fragility, white privilege, Al Campanis, Jackie Robinson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Christianity, access to quality education, criminal injustice, Fortune 500 leadership, Captain James T. Kirk, Star Trek, Dr. Marian Kim-Phelps, Blackish, Cosby Show, Jack and Jill, Aryan Brotherhood, Kanye West, Black Irish, Carlos Murphy’s, #MeToo, Gillette and self- segregation. JRP0053 Mathew B.

Will Schwarz, a Baltimore-based filmmaker and video producer, founded the Maryland Lynching Memorial Project to remember the 40 documented victims of lynchings in the state, the last being George Armwood, who was killed by a mob on the Eastern Shore 85 years ago this week. The Maryland project is part of a national movement, led by civil rights advocate Bryan Stevenson and his Equal Justice Initiative. On Saturday, at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum in Baltimore, the names of Maryland lynching victims were read aloud, and Schwarz screened his short documentary on the Armwood lynching. In this episode: Will Schwarz talks about his ongoing project to collect soil from the grounds where Maryland lynchings took place and to get Maryland counties to memorialize the atrocities and the victims. We hear comments from Stevenson and excerpts from Schwarz's film.For more information: See the Sun's multimedia presentation on Maryland's grim legacy of lynching and hear previous episodes of Roughly Speaking on a student project to account for the lynchings and an oral history of the aftermath of Armwood's death by the late Clarence Mitchell Jr.
Nobody's perfect--even people who are committed to social justice. But activist Leslie Mac has been noticing a pattern when mistakes are inevitably made by people who consider themselves allies. She recently described it in a piece on Medium: White person/organization/group ****s up royally. Usually by stepping out of their lane and commenting on someone or something they shouldn’t or screwing over someone they claim to be in solidarity with . Public outrage is expressed, coupled with many Black Women giving detailed reasons why & how they ****ed up. The offending party claims they didn’t “intend to offend” and appears unable to hear what anyone is saying to them. After receiving push back on their initial response, an “apology statement” centered on themselves is issued (“we never meant to harm anyone” “I would never do what I’m being accused of” “we are so sad about how this was received”) while failing to take actual responsibility for their actions. When their meek, ineffective apology isn’t accepted with open arms, they become the victim of “unfair treatment” & “bullying”. They eventually — after a lot more free labor from Black Women — “learn” what they did wrong, declare themselves an expert on f******g up and recenter themselves as a way to “teach others” Do this same s*** all over again the next time they mess up. Leslie says it's not the fact that people make mistakes--it's the way they react when being called out on those mistakes that's problematic. She says when someone does something racist, sexist, etc., they shouldn't make their response and apology all about their own feelings. They should center the feelings of the people they harmed. Leslie joined us to tell us more, and give us her tips for how allies can get it right. We also talk to Amber Duke and Soha Saiyeed with the ACLU of Kentucky. Earlier this year, they traveled to Montgomery, Alabama for the opening of the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice (more commonly known as the Lynching Memorial). They share what it was like to visit the memorial, which features Kentucky prominently, because of the number of lynchings that happened here.
On this episode Liz Kleinrock returns to discuss her summer adventures and talks about what she has learned about education abroad. If you want to go back and listen to our first episode with Liz it is #44! We had a chance to catch up with Liz to hear the story of her summer trip to South Africa and what she has learned about education after the fall of Apartheid. Liz had the chance to tour several schools and listen to stories of both students and educators and how race has factored into education in South Africa. We also want to congratulate Liz for winning an Excellence in Teaching Award from the Southern Poverty Law Center and Teaching Tolerance. We heard about her time in Alabama this summer and what experiences were like tour the new Lynching Memorial in Montgomery. We were again blown away by the knowledge and perspective Liz shared with us and we're still wrestling with her ideas and how we can grow as educators.

Mark and Joann Jeter were actors with the Shakespeare company, along with David. They toured together and trod the boards of the Blackfriars Playhouse. The Jeters have returned to our hometown of Staunton, VA where they live in a diverse and quiet neighborhood, rearing their little daughters in a loving community of friends. On the one year anniversary of the murderous invasion of Charlottesville by white supremacists, it is my privilege to shed a little light on some hope. The interview is pre-recorded, and I write this on the very weekend of the anniversary. Our friends in Charlottesville remain concerned and yet vigilant in their insistence on love and justice. Mark participated in the CVille Pilgrimage, delivering soil from a lynching site in Charlottesville to the Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, AL. WARNING for our Dear Listeners: You will hear language that is detailed and descriptive of the violence inflicted upon a man named John Henry James. Please be mindful of that if you are listening to this episode with small children around. Also, the interview is long. I did not want to edit out one syllable or moment of silence. If you need to take breaks and come back to it, please do. Don’t miss a word. Trust me.

Michael lmhotep host of The African History Network Show discusses the opening of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama that commemorates 4,400 African Americans who were the victims of lynchings in the U.S. from 1877 - 1950.
