Victoria Christopher Murray joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about HARLEM RHAPSODY, which is her first solo historical novel (she has written New York Times bestsellers with her co-author, Marie Benedict). She explains why she chose to write about the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and shares her extensive research, which included reading issues of The Crisis, the official magazine of the NAACP, and her wonderful finds of letters and other works that helped to bring this story together. Victoria speaks of admiring Jessie Redmon Fauset and her education and career success, as well as what happened later in her life. She is enthusiastic about how much has been achieved, as just 50 years ago, Black people had been enslaved and didn't have access to education.

Clay Edwards Show - Monday, May 12th (Ep #978) 1- We're breaking down President Trump's massive executive order to cut prescription drug prices by 30-80% using a “Most Favored Nation” policy, forcing Big Pharma to match the lowest global r2-ates. Joined by [guest names], we'll dig into how this could save Mississippians big money, rattle the pharmaceutical giants, and stir up the left. 2- Trump's hitting the ground running, folks! In just 100 days, illegal crossings are at historic lows, and he's calling Mexican cartels what they are—terrorists. This is what we voted for: a secure border and no more coddling criminals. Mississippians, are you proud or what? 3- We discuss a new phrase that's gone viral over the last week called "Black fatigue" which describes the frustration, often voiced in conservative circles, over the perceived overuse of racial narratives or "woke" policies, which some argue exhausts constructive dialogue and fuels division. 4- A Rochester, MN, woman, Shiloh Hendrix, is caught on a viral video allegedly hurling racial slurs at a 5-year-old Black kid at a playground, and it's blowing up! Rochester PD's done digging and sent the case to prosecutors, but nobody knows if charges will stick. Hendrix claims the kid stole from her, then rakes in over $675,000 online for “protection,” while the NAACP pulls $341,000 for the kid's family. The left's screaming racism; the right's yelling free speech or hoax.

Today's case hits on a sensitive topic for many, the racial hate in the United States, specifically, Mississippi. We all know about the Civil Right's Movement. In school we all learned about Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, Thurgood Marshall, Malcom X and many others. One name that should also be on this list is Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old child who was kidnapped from his uncle's home in the middle of the night, then he suffered unimaginable torture at the hands of racial hate fueled men for four hours before they murdered Emmett in August 1955. Emmett's mother, Mamie, fought to retrieve her son's remains from Mississippi officials. She held a viewing of her son's mutilated body for several days which drew National attention and she travelled with the NAACP to tell her son's story. Listen to today's case to hear about the brutal murder of an innocent young man and the atrocities that followed.

4.17.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Karmelo Anthony case, Sen. Van Hollen denied Kilmar Abrego Garcia meeting, NAACP sues DOE for DEI cuts We will break down the Karmelo Anthony case with a family spokesperson. The 17-year-old maintains he was protecting himself from Austin Metcalf. Today, during the Anthony family news conference, Metcalf's father was escorted out, and those MAGA fools had a fit. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen gets denied a second time from seeing Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador . The Guatemalan man who was forcefully detained by ICE agents in Massachusetts was not who they were looking for, but he's still behind bars.

Tous les week-end, découvrez de courtes histoires d'amours, tendres ou percutantes, pour engager de vraies réflexions sur l'amour. Boston, début des années 1950. Coretta est une jeune femme brillante et indépendante. Née en 1927 à Marion, en Alabama, elle a toujours trouvé dans l'école un lieu d'épanouissement. Musicienne talentueuse, première soprano de la chorale, elle joue aussi du piano et de la trompette. Mais au-delà des arts, Coretta est animée par une autre passion : la justice. Pendant ses études à Yellow Springs, elle rejoint la NAACP et s'engage dans la lutte pour les droits civiques. De son côté, Martin Luther King Jr. grandit à Atlanta, en Géorgie. Garçon précoce et réfléchi, il décroche à 18 ans une licence en sociologie et fait un choix déterminant : il sera pasteur. Pour lui, l'Église est le meilleur moyen de donner du sens à sa vie et de partager de l'humanité. En 1951, il termine sa licence en théologie et part à Boston pour son doctorat. C'est là, sur le campus, que leurs chemins se croisent. Martin demande à une amie si elle connaît une jeune femme à lui présenter. Elle pense immédiatement à Coretta. Une rencontre arrangée qui ne tarde pas à devenir une évidence. Entre eux, tout va très vite. Ils se découvrent, se reconnaissent. Coretta n'avait pas prévu de tomber amoureuse. Martin non plus.

Sine Dine is fast approaching as the 2025 Georgia legislative session nears an end. WABE politics reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali return to ‘Closer Look,’ to discuss the status of some of the most talked about bills. Plus, with more corporations turning away from diversity, equity and inclusion programs, the NAACP is empowering Black consumers to shop with companies that value their dollars and their rights. Gerald Griggs, the president of the NAACP Georgia State Conference, discusses the newly launched Black Consumer Advisory. Lastly, we continue our two-part series looking at the benefits and the harm of using AI in the job hiring process. Data suggests by the end of the year, nearly 70% of businesses are expected to use AI for reviewing resumes, rejecting candidates or even conducting entire interviews. Hilke Schellmann, an investigative journalist and professor at New York University, is the author of the book, "The Algorithm." Schellemann says AI has invaded the workplace, calling the evolving phenomenon "the next civil rights issue of our time.” Previously, Rose talked with Dan Beck, the president and chief product officer at SAP SuccessFactors, about what he says are some of the pros of AI being used in the workplace.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA fresh start and exciting news highlight this episode as I reveal my brand new blog project: AnAmericanist.com! After returning from a quick Tunica getaway, I share my vision for this new conservative platform that delivers blunt takes on politics and pop culture while aiming to include younger patriots in their 30s who are making waves in the conservative movement. My first post tackles Pete Hegseth's restoration of equal combat fitness standards for military personnel—regardless of gender—as it rightfully should be.The episode takes a fascinating turn as we explore an absurd controversy unfolding in a Long Island school district. A parent and NAACP chapter leader has actually filed a complaint against the school's new Spartan mascot, claiming it's "white supremacist" and "anti-woman." This perfectly captures the ridiculous extremes of cancel culture, where even ancient Greek warriors aren't safe from modern purity tests. As Greek-American comedian Ellen Karis brilliantly points out, the Spartan represents admirable qualities like strength, discipline, and fighting for one's community—exactly what you want in a mascot!Before wrapping up, I pose the age-old relationship question about bathroom etiquette: should men put the toilet seat down? After years of marriage, my perspective is refreshingly practical—I can handle putting it down myself! Throughout the episode, I contemplate rebranding this podcast to align with my new blog identity, so stay tuned for potential changes coming soon. Check out AnAmericanist.com, share your thoughts, and join me in celebrating traditional American values without apology.

This week author and journalist Carolyn Click joins us to talk about her new book, The Cost of the Vote: George Elmore and the Battle for the Ballot (2025, USC Press). Elmore's story is that of a man who believed, with uncommon boldness, that he and other Black Americans were guaranteed the right to vote. He volunteered to become the plaintiff in the NAACP lawsuit that successfully challenged the all-white Democratic primary in South Carolina in 1946.Carolyn centers her story on Elmore, his family, his neighbors, and the activists and lawyers who filed the suit. Although Elmore's court challenge would prove successful, he and his family paid a steep personal price.
Most people in North America have probably at least heard the name W. E. B. Dubois. In the early twentieth century, DuBois—the first African-American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard—published and spoke extensively about his vision of equality through education. In particular, he edited The Crisis, the monthly magazine of the NAACP, while also writing such classics as The Souls of Black Folk. But if Dubois is well known, the same cannot be said these days of Jessie Redmon Fauset, the central character of Victoria Christopher Murray's Harlem Rhapsody (Berkley, 2025). In her day, Fauset—who held a degree from Cornell as well as a master's from Penn and a certificate from the Sorbonne in Paris—worked as the literary editor of The Crisis and its associated children's magazine, The Brownies Book, while writing the first of what would become four acclaimed novels. She fostered such stars of the Harlem Renaissance as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Jean Toomer, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. She was also romantically involved with W. E. B. Dubois, a reality that Murray uses to humanize a heroine who is in every other respect truly remarkable. Her story pulled me in and kept me reading to the very last page. Victoria Christopher Murray is the author of more than thirty novels, including The Personal Librarian and The First Ladies, both historical fiction co-written with Marie Benedict. Harlem Rhapsody is her most recent book. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her next book, Song of the Steadfast, is due in 2025. Learn more about your ad choices.
