I am an American by birth but Australian by heart. I moved to Australia in 2012 only one week after graduating University. I originally came to Oz to play basketball - I played in Perth, Darwin, the Gold Coast. I even lived in NZ for a brief period of time when I over-stayed my visa. But as Territorians say, you'll be back...you always come back to Darwin. And it's true. I got married and started setting roots in Darwin by investing in the youth, particularly the underserved and at-risk youth. I started by founding the first all-abilities basketball program in the Territory called Rising Stars. This filled my heart with so much joy, that I expanded on my mission to be the light in this world and started working for Midnight Basketball which is now called Launch Basketball Night Series. I'm passionate about using sport as a vehicle to drive change in a young person's life. I know how impactful being a part of a team is, because sport in fact changed my life. Also, every program I created or was a part of had to eliminate barriers to access- meaning everything needed to be FREE to the participants. Moving back to the states, I have continued my work in youth development and empowerment by working for a non-profit called the Oklahoma City Police Athletic League. Our sports programs are free of charge to all PAL participants, and we serve nearly 1500 young people year over year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Douglas Hartmann, Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota, is back on the show today to discuss his book Race, Culture and the Revolt of the Black Athlete: The 1968 Olympic Protests and Their Aftermath. This book encompasses the time leading up to the protests during which the Olympic Project for Human Rights, led by Professor of Sociology Harry Edwards, was attempting to organize a boycott of the 1968 games by black athletes. From there we learn about the actual moment where Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists on the medal stand in Mexico City and the legacy of their actions. What I appreciate so much about this book is the focus on the iconic image that was made of the protest that night and how that image has lived on and been used, for celebratory, educational and malicious reasons. Professor Hartmann is a returning guest to Dear Adam Silver and was featured in Episode 64 to discuss his book Midnight Basketball. I am grateful that he joined the pod again to share his work and thoughts, especially about how this action taken in 1968 connects to how we see athletes protesting and speaking out about racial justice today.

In Episode 08 of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast, Jermel interviews Melvin Watson. In Episode 08, Jermel interviews his main guy…  Arguably one of the fastest, most explosive guards that SC produced. Melvin “MW” Watson attended Burke High School in Charleston, SC. Mel and Jermel started playing together in 7th/8th grade “on the Hess, on the Mitch, and at the Boys and Girls Club”. Melvin was a grade ahead so Jermel got the opportunity to learn a lot of great tools from him. A true point guard, he made Jermel's job easy. "He stirred the pot and I just served the food!” They are both products of Midnight Basketball with Dallas Wilson and The Drive. Melvin attended Winchendon Prep while Jermel attended Fork Union. They ate, studied and slept working on their craft. Tune in Christmas Eve to hear the Burke stories, the student-athlete life, the overseas grind and the life of two Charleston Boys putting in that work. The stories don't change, just the times.

In Episode 05 of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast, Jermel interviews Reverend Dallas Wilson. In this episode, Jermel speaks with Reverend Wilson about a number of topics including The Big Apple, moving to South Carolina, AGAPE Ministries, Midnight Basketball, and helping Jermel transition from Burke High School to Fork Union Military Academy to College of Charleston. Dallas shares about his experience growing up in the streets of New York City. His mother gave him two choices: "Either you stay in school and do well, or you leave my house and find a new home." Dallas Wilson shares how Midnight Basketball began. "We saw young lives change because of academic persistence and athletic prowess." He saw people in Charleston who did not have all the tools academically, but they had all the athletic tools. Tune in!

Professor Douglas Hartmann teaches sociology at the University of Minnesota and is on the show to discuss his book Midnight Basketball, which takes a deep, detailed look into the social initiative known as Midnight Basketball, developed in the late 1980s . In this episode, we unpack the racism that was built into this program, which targeted young adult African-American men who were living in large cities around the country. It is important to use the word targeted in this case because the use of surveillance was at the root of this project that used the game of basketball as a form of control during certain hours of the day. As we discuss, this initiative is tied to our incoming presidential administration because Joe Biden was a proponent of Midnight Basketball during the mid 1990s and the fight for the passage of the 1994 crime bill. This conversation is timely and necessary to take a close look at the motivations and results of social policy that fall in line with the systemic racism inherent to our country, even when it is dressed up as help or social support. Thank you to Doug for coming on and for writing this educational and informative book. As always, thank you to you for listening and I hope you all enjoy this episode.

The concept of late-night basketball gained prominence in the late 1980s when G. Van Standifer founded Midnight Basketball League as a vehicle upon which citizens, businesses, and institutions can stand together to prevent crime, violence, and drug abuse. The concept ignited and late-night basketball leagues were developed in dozens of cities across America. In Midnight Basketball: Race, Sports, and Neoliberal Social Policy (University of Chicago Press, 2016), Douglas Hartmann traces the history of late-night basketball with particular emphasis on the racial ideologies, cultural tensions, and institutional realities that continue to shape sports-based social policy. Hartmann brings to life the experience he had as a researcher in the field working with late-night basketball programs and the young men they were intended to serve. This experience provided him with a more grounded and nuanced understanding of the intricate ways sports, race, and risk intersect and interact in urban America. Douglas Hartman is a professor and the chair of sociology at University of Minnesota. Michael O. Johnston is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He earned his doctoral degree in Public Policy and Public Administration from Walden University. His most recent paper, to be presented at the upcoming American Society for Environmental History conference, is titled “Down Lovers Lane: A Brief History of Necking in Cars.” Learn more about your ad choices.
