The CDC's recent shift away from universal childhood vaccine recommendations marks a significant change in U.S. health policy. Moving toward a shared decision-making model between clinicians and parents, this change aligns the U.S. more closely with some European countries but has sparked debate among public health experts and parents alike. We unpack how Americans view this new approach, including strong overall support for routine vaccines and school mandates but also notable variations in confidence around vaccine safety, testing, and scheduling by political affiliation, age, and education.Then, we turn to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a widely respected holiday that offers a moment for national reflection on civil rights and racial justice. While nearly all Americans hold Dr. King in high regard, actual participation in community service and civic activities remains limited and uneven across different groups. We examine how these patterns reveal both shared values and ongoing challenges in civic engagement and social equality.Finally, we lighten things up with a fun fact from polling, highlighting a question that asked Americans which modern presidential election they think would have most surprised the Founding Fathers.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Chantel Sings talks with Rose McGee, President and Founder of Sweet Potato Comfort Pie®, about the organization's Annual MLK Holiday Weekend of Service. Rose explains how this year's event includes a food and supplies drive for the PRISM Food Shelf and reflects a deeper focus on protecting constitutional rights and community freedom during challenging times. She shares the powerful origin story of Sweet Potato Comfort Pie, which began after the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and why sweet potato pie is considered a sacred symbol of care and connection in Black culture. The conversation highlights how service, storytelling, and shared meals can heal, unite, and strengthen communities while honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.

Seven years ago, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, headquartered in Battle Creek, Michigan established a National Day of Racial Healing. It's always the Tuesday following the MLK Holiday and was created as an opportunity for all Americans to consider having an important, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation on racial healing. My guest is La June Montgomery Tabron, President and CEO of the foundation who has written a couple of important books on this topic. One is written for adults, "How We Heal" and she's also penned a companion book for children on the same topic called "Our Differences Make Us Stronger." Both are available everywhere books are sold.

As a programming note, this episode was recorded on MLK Day, but due to technical difficulties we are airing this week. It's the top of the year, and we are back with a brand new episode. In this week's WHENS & LOSSES - MLK Edition of the Podcast, we are talking the Detroit's Lions catastrophic loss to the Washington Commanders as their historic and record breaking season comes to a crashing end. We ask the question, is this season a failure, or is there some positives takeaways that we can help us cope with loss, and we also share with you our answer. We also talk the Inauguration of the 47th President of the United States. As it is our country's tradition every four years to inaugurate the new president, it is that time again. President Elect Donald Trump took office on January 20th, which ironically is also the national holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King. In this week's edition, we ask the question, did you watch the inauguration, and if so, why or why not? Finally, we discuss the significance of the MLK Holiday, especially during these tumultuous times as a nation. Ironically, we share an excerpt from a memorable interview we had with Martin Luther King III just a few years ago. PLUS, we share a powerful and poignant excerpt from a famous sermon delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. entitled, "A Knock At Midnight." This is a prophetic commentary of the times that we are living in, even though this message was delivered over almost 60yrs ago. Needless to say, this show is power-packed and full of empowering messages to get your year off to an incredible start. This show is definitely a WIN-WIN!

In a lesser-known part of his March on Washington speech, Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed, “We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.” Many people, upon hearing this, might assume that King was simply referring to the violence wreaked by the police department in Birmingham, Alabama, and its commissioner, Bull Connor, during the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's desegregation campaign. But King understood that police brutality like segregation wasn't just a Southern problem. Sixty years later police brutality and racial injustice are still a problem in the black community, join the co-host Chiefs on Thursday at 6 PM CST. For a Martin Luther King Jr. Special podcast with their guests Garland Pruitt Oklahoma City Chapter President with the NAACP and Larry Hicks with the Little Rock, Arkansas NAACP.

Stevie's legendary song “Happy Birthday” was originally part of the long, hard battle to turn Dr. King's birthday into a national holiday. When Dr. King was assassinated, his approval rating with white people was very low. At that point, he was not beloved by them. It took a lot of careful, steady, thoughtful, diplomatic work by Coretta Scott King to change his image and win over politicians. Stevie Wonder was committed to that struggle and this song is just one of the things he did for Dr. King. In this episode, we talk to King's daughter Bernice as well as the engineers who worked with Stevie on the song. We talk about how they got us to having a King holiday and what that fight meant to Stevie. And why he usually records in the middle of the night.   Guests: Dr. Chrissy Greer, Professor, Fordham University  Jelani Cobb, Professor, Columbia University  Lon Neumann, Recording Engineer, Happy Birthday Gary Adante, Lead Engineer, Happy Birthday Dr. Bernice King, CEO The King Center  Reverend Dr. Barbara Reynolds, Journalist   Credits: Stevie Wonder - Happy Birthday  Writer: Stevie Wonder Label: Motown Records Publisher: Black Bull Music Inc, Jobete Music Co Inc   Public Enemy - By the Time I Get to Arizona Writer: Chuck D, Neftali Santiago, Mandrill, Stuart Robertz, G-Wiz & C-Dawg Label: Def Jam and Colombia Records Publisher: Sony Music Entertainment   Stevie Wonder sings "Happy Birthday" Martin Luther King, CSPAN Stevie Wonder on creating Martin Luther King Day 1983, CNN Public Enemy, Arsenio Hall (1993) Martin Luther King, Jr. on Income Inequality and Redistribution of Wealth, Insaaf Blog Harold Washington, CBS Chicago Republican President Reagan's Jaw-Dropping Press Conference the Day Martin Luther King Holiday Was Passed, Mediaite Public Enemy Chuck D Interview, ABC News (1992) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever wondered what inspired me to start a podcast you really don't have to look or wonder for long. I was raised on radio at a time when my city, Detroit, was reigned by TWO queens: Aretha and Martha Jean.If you've never heard of her Martha Jean the Queen was born Martha Jean Jones in Memphis, TN in 1930. A larger than life figure, the Queen built a communication empire after 46 years in the industry. She is a member of both the Black Radio Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.And throughout the entirety of my childhood, Martha Jean the Queen's voice came through on the radio. She was one of the architects for the MLK Holiday in the city of Detroit in the 70's. Because of her work and that of Detroit City officials, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday was observed as a city wide holiday throughout my primary school life. Martha Jean was also heralded as the 'calm' during the 1967 Rebellion in Detroit. And the Queen inspired my 8 year old self to organize a protest against a very authoritarian paraprofessional. But more importantly she taught me that black girls are to be seen and heard, unapologetically. Here is more information about the great Martha Jean 'the Queen' Steinberg:https://detroithistorical.org/learn/encyclopedia-of-detroit/steinberg-martha-jean-queenhttps://www.elmwoodhistoriccemetery.org/biographies/martha-jean-the-queen-steinberg/https://www.metrotimes.com/news-hits/archives/2017/07/24/how-martha-jean-the-queen-steinberg-helped-calm-detroit-during-the-summer-of-1967https://www.radiohalloffame.com/martha-jean-steinberg
