Hosts: Maura Carabello & Taylor Morgan Another proposition in Utah County would create another school district for the more western cities in the county: Cedar Fort, Eagle Mountain, Fairfield, and Saratoga Springs. Proposition 14 would also dissolve the Alpine School District and create a new district for the fastest-growing part of Utah County. Mark Whitaker, Secondary Director of Curriculum with Alpine School District opposes Proposition 14 and joins the program to share his view of the issue.

Hosts: Maura Carabello & Taylor Morgan Appeals court rules on mail-in ballot ‘grace period’More than 20 states around the country accept mail-in ballots after Election Day, so long as it was postmarked before on or Election Day. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that the ‘grace period’ shouldn’t be allowed, siding with the Republican Party, which brought forth the earlier suit. What could this ruling mean for voters in Utah – if anything at all? The KSL at Night hosts break it down. Major newspapers withhold presidential endorsementsThe Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have both decided to withhold endorsing any presidential candidate this election cycle. It goes against what they’ve done for many, many previous presidential races. The reasons for the lack of endorsement varies between the two publications, but the effect and outrage from many is the same. Does it actually matter for media organizations to endorse a candidate? Are conspiracy theories affecting voter turnout in Salt Lake County?There’s been a resurgence in conspiracy theories around the election this year, especially as it relates to mail-in voting and voting machines. The bogus accusations are leading to harassment against election officials and workers, plus it’s affecting rates of early voting. How could these conspiracy theories be affecting early voter turnout? How about here in Salt Lake County? The KSL at Night hosts discuss. Examining the role of money in local campaigns: Do ‘deep pockets’ still matter?We all know that national elections require a lot of money in order to have a chance at success. But what about on a smaller scale in local elections? Do ‘deep pockets’ matter in those smaller races? KSL at Night hosts Maura Carabello and Taylor Morgan share their thoughts – using their years of experience – and draw a line between races that need lots of money and those that don’t. Utah County Proposition 11: An opposer’s view of dissolving Alpine School DistrictProposition 11 is on the ballot in Utah County right now; it would create a new school district for the cities of Alpine, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Highland, Lehi, and parts of Draper. The idea isn’t necessarily new, but several cities have pushed this idea back to the forefront of folks’ minds. Sarah Beeson, Member of the Alpine School District Board of Education opposes Proposition 11 and joins the program to explain her stance. Utah County Proposition 14: An opposer’s view of dissolving Alpine School DistrictAnother proposition in Utah County would create another school district for the more western cities in the county: Cedar Fort, Eagle Mountain, Fairfield, and Saratoga Springs. Proposition 14 would also dissolve the Alpine School District and create a new district for the fastest-growing part of Utah County.

Join Michael in his conversation with Mark Whitaker to discuss his new book Saying It Loud: 1966-The Year Black Power Challenged the Civil Rights Movement which tells the story of how the Black Power movement spearheaded by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) challenged the Martin Luther King Jr. lead traditional civil rights movement in the turbulent year of 1966.

One of the hallmarks of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s is that its leaders preached non-violence. Dr. Martin Luther King said non-violence is the "absolute commitment to the way of love." But by 1966, after several legislative victories that established the right to vote and banned discrimination in places of public accommodation, young Black activists became frustrated with the slow pace of success in changing the environment around jobs, housing, and seeing Black political candidates achieve victory. Mark Whitaker's book, "Saying it Loud: The Year the Black Power Movement Challenged the Civil Rights Movement," describes the successes and failures of the new approach to demanding equality. He chronicles the tribulations of Julian Bond, Stokely Carmichal and the founding of the Black Panther party. He also describes how their pushes changed American politics for generations, as they inadvertently gave rise to Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. He also shows how activists not only changed politics, but culture around lingo, Black hairstyles and the way we discuss race in America.Mark Whitaker is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/MarktwhitakerInformation on his book can be found at https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Saying-It-Loud/Mark-Whitaker/9781982114121Support our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistory https://instagram.com/axelbankhistory

Larry is joined by author, journalist, and media executive Mark Whitaker to discuss his newest book "Saying It Loud: 1966-The Year Black Power Challenged the Civil Rights Movement'. They begin their conversation by talking about why Mark decided to write the book and break down the social and political events that led up to this turbulent year. They then get into the key figures and organizations involved during this time period, notably the SNCC, Stokely Carmichael, John Lewis, and Sammy Young, whose tragic and publicized death at the beginning of 1966 helped spark a consciousness movement that ultimately led to the beginning of the Black Panthers (9:14). Next they dissect the meaning of the term "Black Power" and how the established press distorted its original messaging to foment division within the movement's participants (24:06). After the break they get into the distraction caused by the 60's anti-war movement and the middle classes' feelings towards Black Power (35:08). They end the pod by drawing comparisons between the Black Power era and BLM, and comment on the current lack of leaders like Malcolm X that would be equipped to legitimize and take the modern progressive movement into the future (51:54).

The other great renaissance of black culture, influence, and glamour burst forth joyfully in what may seem an unlikely place—Pittsburgh, PA—from the 1920s through the 1950s. Today black Pittsburgh is known as the setting for August Wilson’s famed plays about noble but doomed working-class strivers. But this community once had an impact on American history that rivaled the far larger black worlds of Harlem and Chicago. It published the most widely read black newspaper in the country, urging black voters to switch from the Republican to the Democratic Party and then rallying black support for World War II. It fielded two of the greatest baseball teams of the Negro Leagues and introduced Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Pittsburgh was the childhood home of jazz pioneers Billy Strayhorn, Billy Eckstine, Earl Hines, Mary Lou Williams, and Erroll Garner; Hall of Fame slugger Josh Gibson—and August Wilson himself. Some of the most glittering figures of the era were changed forever by the time they spent in the city, from Joe Louis and Satchel Paige to Duke Ellington and Lena Horne. Mark Whitaker’s Smoketown is a captivating portrait of this unsung community and a vital addition to the story of black America. It depicts how ambitious Southern migrants were drawn to a steel-making city on a strategic river junction; how they were shaped by its schools and a spirit of commerce with roots in the Gilded Age; and how their world was eventually destroyed by industrial decline and urban renewal. Mark Whitaker is the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, My Long Trip Home, and Smoketown. The former managing editor of CNN Worldwide, he was previously the Washington bureau chief for NBC News and a reporter and editor at Newsweek, where he rose to become the first African-American leader of a national newsweekly.

On the 30th anniversary of the debut of “The Cosby Show,” Mark Whitaker talks about his new book, “Cosby: His Life and Times,” the first major biography of comedian Bill Cosby.

Author and journalist Mark Whitaker has written a new biography of a giant of American comedy. Kim Masters talks with Whitaker about what is and isn't in the book on Bill Cosby's life and career.

The recent suicide of Robin Williams puts into bold perspective that we really don’t know very much about the inner lives of the people that make us laugh. From Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor, from Johnny Carson to Bill Cosby, the demons and private lives that drove these comedians were often anything but funny.Cosby was particularly unique in several ways.  He broke the color barrier for television with I Spy.  He appealed to predominantly white audiences, yet subtly advanced the civil rights agenda. He broke the rules, yet didn’t shout while he was doing it.  The Cosby show has become a part of American iconography and some would argue paved the way for the election of Barack Obama.But what we know about his influential comedian has been mostly underwater. That is until journalist Mark Whitaker now pulls it all together in his new biography Cosby: His Life and TimesMy conversation with Mark Whitaker:  

Today on The Gist, we prepare for a verdict in the Blackwater trial you might not have known is underway. From the hallway of a D.C. federal courthouse, Matt Apuzzo of the New York Times reminds us why it’s taken us seven years to prosecute the State Department contractors involved in a shooting in Iraq. Plus, biographer Tanner Colby reviews Cosby: His Life and Times by Mark Whitaker, and discusses the glaring omission of the comedian’s sexual assault allegations. For the Spiel, are the terrorists we’re fighting smarter than us?
