Then, Benard Simelton, the president of the NAACP in Alabama, discusses pressing civil rights issues in the state. They delve into the recent lawsuit against anti-DEI legislation affecting universities, the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and the need for police accountability. Finally, David and Josh talk about the importance of police accountability, the controversy surrounding Decatur's police department, and Birmingham's comprehensive approach to crime prevention.

Earlier today, NAACP President Derrick Johnson tweeted out, "Today, we make our voices heard. Voting is more than a right — it's a powerful tool for change." But not everyone feels this way. So for those feeling voter apathy, I asked him to talk about what's at stake. "What's at stake for this election are the public policy priorities. This election is less about the candidates of the political parties, but the direction this country will take. And for African Americans, we are fighting hard to ensure that the diversity we find ourselves in is something we can celebrate and can project out for 2030, as opposed to allow the forces of opposition to turn the clock back and create a 1930s apartheid America." This year, the NAACP invested $20 million in its civic engagement program aimed at 12 states nationwide to empower and protect Black voters at every level of our democratic process, push back against rampant disinformation, and provide voters with critical and accurate information.

Colleges and universities can no longer use race as a factor in their admissions decisions. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of challenges to affirmative action programs at the University of North Carolina and Harvard University. The reactions are pouring in. Here's NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson: "It created a Clarence Thomas who benefited from the program and now is in a position where he's going to deny many young African-American talented individuals an opportunity." And while the group that sued to overturn affirmative action is praising the decision, Princeton University Professor Eddie Glaude says the decision means a step back. "We're gonna go back to those classes where you had 1, 2, 3. We already had a small percentage of black and brown students. That percentage will get even smaller," Glaude said. President Biden says he's going to be directing the Department of Education to look into what other practices can help build more diversity on college campuses. "While talent, creativity, and hard work are everywhere across this country, not equal opportunity, it is not everywhere across this country," the president said. Learn more about your ad choices.

The NAACP is involved in an investigation of a hostile work environment and discrimination in the school district, particularly with the Human Resource Department.

Updates and information on new Filings with the  City of Minneapolis and the NAACP Discrimatory Lawsuit. 

The Minneapolis NAACP is highly disappointed with the disrespect and refusal to host a meeting withthe Brooklyn Center School District 286. The Minneapolis NAACP became involved with an investigationof hostile work environment, disparities with discipline/termination, bullying, harassment, verbal abuse,retaliation, and discrimination within the school and primarily with the Human Resource Department.We as an organization take any claims of any kind seriously and provide our due diligence ininvestigating. Upon doing so, we reached out to the Superintendent of the Brooklyn Center SchoolDistrict 286, to meet and we were told NO! This is unacceptable as a taxpayer, and as a civic leader inthe black community. Our question is, what are they hiding, that they will not meet with us, nor provideus with information about their policies/practices? They cannot and will not just tell us, NO. They'reusing their “White Supremist” behavior. This is the 21 st century, and regardless of what you think aboutsomeone, based on their race, disability, gender, age, religion, (any protected class) you will bechallenged. We demand to be treated with respect! The Minneapolis NAACP is a branch of the NationalOrganization that is the oldest and most effective civil rights movement in the country and will be valuedand respected as such. We are demanding a meeting with the Brooklyn Center School Boardimmediately, for this blatant level of dismissive behavior, and dereliction of duties assigned to thesuperintendent.

NAACP President & CEO Derrick Johnson - joins Tavis for a conversation on a number of topics including his thoughts on Trump's arraignment and his concerns over Republicans who continue to pass legislation that relegate the Black population to “second class citizens”. (Hour 1)

After a DNA test reveals he is a descendant of both Robert E. Lee and a former slave, Benjamin Jealous embarks on a Wild Ride to uncover the truth about the oldest open wound in America and the possibility of bridging the divide between black and white Benjamin Jealous is ouir guest on this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race for Everyday People. He is a former president of the NAACP, a civil rights activist, and an author. He is the author of the book, "Never Forget: Our People Were Always Free," which explores racism, the history of the United States, and the power of storytelling.   In this episode, you will learn the following:   1. How is racism still affecting our country today? 2. What can we do to bridge the divide between different groups of people? 3. How did the concept of race originate and how has it been used to divide us?   Chapter Summaries: [00:25]  The book is about the oldest open wound in this country, the wound of racism. Author wrote it as a series of speeches, or monologues to his computer. The book is a very conversational book, a book a lot of people find surprisingly funny.   [09:38]  Richard Yates Bland was the last white Bland to own my family. Robert Lee was the leader of the black Republicans in Virginia. What gives a slave man hubris to lead entire political parties?   [18:23]  The title comes from something that we believe was first said by our female Kunta Kente of our family if you will. Never forget, our people were always free. That's what all the women in Atlanta I've ever known of were rebellious. And that's what put the steel in their spine.   [28:17]  Dr. King was trying to bring poor white folks and poor black folks together to build a better America. The ultimate purpose of racism is to divide these two groups so they can't assert their right to get out of poverty. The media should show the real face of poverty, which is black and white and brown and Asian.   Guest Bio Ben Jealous, is the youngest-ever person to have been elected as the national NAACP President; was just named the Sierra Club's Executive Director (the first person of color selected for the post), and is also a University of Pennsylvania, Professor of Practice. Timed for Black History Month, his new book just hit #1 in the African-American biographies category on Amazon. While researching the book, Jealous learned he is a cousin to slave owner Thomas Jefferson, confederate Robert E. Lee; AND a distant cousin of Dick Cheney! The book is dedicated to his grandmother who taught him to 'never forget our people were always free,' which he considers his personal mantra of inspiration—hoping that we all: White/Black, Democrat/Republican—can finally join together to snuff out race; which Jealous says was not what our country was built on in the first place.   Host Bio Simma Lieberman, The Inclusionist helps leaders create inclusive cultures. She is a consultant, speaker and facilitator and the host of the podcast, “Everyday Conversations on Race for Everyday People.” Contact Simma@SimmaLieberman.com Go to www.simmalieberman.com and www.raceconvo.com for more information Simma is a member of and inspired by the global organization IAC (Inclusion Allies Coalition)

Dateline New Haven: NAACP President Dori Dumas by WNHH Community Radio

After 27 years as the chief editor of Essence magazine and the visionary credited with building the brand, Susan Taylor left publishing to devote her life to building an organization that is devoted to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty among African Americans. A community-mobilization movement, National CARES Mentoring Movement is the only organization dedicated to providing mentoring, healing and wellness services on a national scale for Black children. Susan is the best-selling author of four books, and editor of eight others, a fourth-generation entrepreneur, who grew up in Harlem working in her father’s clothing store. At 24, she founded her own cosmetics company, which led to the beauty editor’s position at Essence, the publication she would go on to shape as chief editor into a world-renown brand with more than 8 million readers. Ms. Taylor authored the magazine's most popular column, In the Spirit—the first in a mainstream U.S. magazine to champion spiritual growth as a pathway to total well-being and a meaningful life. Ms. Taylor is a recipient of more than a dozen honorary doctorates and hundreds of awards, including presidential citations, Image Awards and the NAACP President's Award for Visionary Leadership. She is the only African American woman to be recognized by the Magazine Publishers of America’s Henry Johnson Fisher Award—the industry's highest honor—and the first to be inducted into the American Society of Magazine Editors Hall of Fame. In this episode, Susan and host, Brad Johnson, having known each other since Brad was 15 years old, share an intimate conversation about life philosophy, the benefits of self-care and taking time to be still, the confluence of experiences and self-confidence that led to becoming Editor-In- Chief of Essence, the importance of unity and community organization, the value of elder’s wisdom, the unprecedented rise in black child suicide, and her highest calling to provide wellness, mentoring and opportunity to today’s vulnerable youth through her organization.

Legendary actor, Danny Glover, has built a reputation for powerful onscreen performances such as in The Color Purple and Lethal Weapon series. He has been nominated multiple times for Best Picture, personal Emmys, won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Actor in a film, To Sleep with Anger, honored with the NAACP President's Award, multiple Image Awards and Ace Award for his work in the HBO movie, Mandela. In addition to his acting career, Mr. Glover has been a tireless warrior fighting for social and economic justice. For his advocacy related to access to health care and education programs in the USA and Africa, he has received multiple honors including a DGA Honor, and a Doctorate of Humane Letters for his humanitarian efforts with organizations such as the United Farm Workers, UNITE HERE, The Algebra Project, and Black AIDS Institute. Earlier this year, Mr. Glover traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to help mobilize support for Amazon warehouse's 5,800 predominately Black workers in their efforts to form a union. In June, 2019, Mr. Glover testified before a subcommittee of the House Judiciary at the Capitol in Washington, along with Ta-Nehisi Coates and Sen. Cory Booker on the HR 40 bill (read transcript here), which ultimately passed, to form a commission to study the effects of slavery and search for possible avenues for reparations. In this episode, Mr. Glover and host Brad Johnson discuss the roots of his activism, his parents' journey from the Deep South to San Francisco during the Great Migration, words of wisdom he shares with students including the parallels today with the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, and his views on gentrification, reparations, finding justice and impassioning the next generation to recognize their role in creating history. * * * Instagram Corner Table Talk and Post and Beam Hospitality LinkedIn Brad Johnson Medium Corner Table Media E.Mail brad@postandbeamhospitality.com For more information on host Brad Johnson or to join our mailing list, please visit: https://postandbeamhospitality.com/ Corner Table™ is a trademark of Post & Beam Hospitality LLC © Post & Beam Hospitality LLCSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
