How did two extraordinary Black women, Willa Brown and Janet Harmon Bragg, break through aviation's racial and gender barriers in the early 20th century? Discover the inspiring story behind "American Wings: Chicago's Pioneering Black Aviators and the Race for Equality in the Sky," as we sit down with authors Sherri L. Smith and Elizabeth Wein, who meticulously documented their revolutionary achievements.

The episode delves into the historical challenges faced by the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women's Air Force Service Pilots, emphasizing how community and political engagement were pivotal in fostering real change. We explore the importance of maintaining progress towards racial equity in aviation, drawing lessons from the teamwork and allyship that were crucial in breaking down barriers.Furthermore, we examine the crucial role of allyship in advancing racial equity, spotlighting historical allies like Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry Truman, who supported Black aviators. Our guests provide practical advice for modern allyship, underscoring the need to listen and engage genuinely with marginalized communities. By highlighting the stories of underrepresented pioneers and the efforts of organizations like OBAP, we aim to inspire ongoing support and recognition in the aviation industry and beyond.

Sherri L. Smith, author of the critically acclaimed story Flygirl, and Elizabeth Wein, author of the award-winning book Code Name Verity, join forces in AMERICAN WINGS (G.P. Putnam's Sons) to shed light on an important and lesser-known chapter in Black aviation history and Black contributions to aviation during the Golden Age of Flight.   In the years between World War I and World War II, aviation fever was everywhere, including among Black Americans. But what hope did a Black person have of learning to fly in a country constricted by prejudice and Jim Crow laws, where some previous Black aviators like Bessie Coleman had to move to France to earn their wings?   AMERICAN WINGS follows a group of determined Black Americans:  Cornelius Coffey and Johnny Robinson, skilled auto mechanics; Janet Harmon Bragg, a nurse; and Willa Brown, a teacher and social worker. Together, they created a flying club and built their own airfield on Chicago's South Side. As the U.S. hurtled toward World War II, they established a school to train new pilots, teaching both Black and white students together and proving, in a time when the U.S. military was still segregated, that successful integration was possible.   Complete with black-and-white photographs throughout, AMERICAN WINGS brings to light a hidden history of pioneering Black men and women who, with grit and resilience, battled powerful odds for an equal share of the sky. ABOUT THE ELIZABETH WEIN: Elizabeth Wein (LEFT) is a recreational pilot and the owner of about a thousand maps. She is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Code Name Verity, as well as the novels Rose Under Fire; Black Dove, White Raven; The Pearl Thief; and The Enigma Game; as well as the nonfiction book A Thousand Sisters: The Heroic Airwomen of the Soviet Union in World War II. Visit her online at elizabethwein.com.   ABOUT THE SHERRI L SMITH: Sherri L. Smith (RIGHT) is the author of several novels for young adults, including the critically acclaimed The Blossom and the Firefly, Flygirl, Orleans, and Pasadena, as well as the middle-grade novel The Toymaker's Apprentice.

Sherri L Smith and Elizabeth Wein are on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate their new book American Wings. They discuss how they came together to write the nonfiction book for young adults about a group of black pilots in Chicago in the 1930s who built their own airfield and helped integrate civilian pilot training before World War 2. Smith and Wein describe the research process, including arguing over historical facts and realizing the truth often lies somewhere in the middle. They encourage using multiple sources to find the truth. The authors hope the book inspires kids of all backgrounds and hope families will discuss its themes of overcoming adversity through community and dreaming big. Smith and Wein believe continuing to dream Dr. King's dream and the dreams of the early aviators will help progress, though it requires constant work to shore up achievements against backsliding.

What's so “Pro” about the new 13-inch MacBook Pro? Devindra and Cherlynn chat with Laptop Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Sherri L. Smith, about Apple's confusing new ultraportable. Sure, the M2 chip makes it faster, but why does it have a worse screen and fewer features than the new MacBook Air? Are real professionals better off with the faster (but more expensive) 14-inch MacBook Pro? Also, they dive into the wild new VR headset prototypes from Meta, as well as Twitter's reinvention of blogging.

In this episode Stephanie Toliver, Assistant Professor of Literacy and and Secondary Humanities at University of Colorado Boulder and lifelong sci-fi nerd chats with Henry and Colin about her experience writing her hybrid PhD dissertation. As part of her PhD, Stephanie got the opportunity to work with the DEEP Center's Block to Block Program teaching middle-school age black girls how to write science fiction. Her now published dissertation combines the stories written by those girls with theory and methodology to outline how Stephanie centers Black girls in her academic research. In this conversation they discuss how Stephanie's leading style during the workshop was informed by the girls' own interests and their storytelling instincts rather than the typical teacher-student model. As a group they engaged with afrofuturist stories from Black authors like Octavia Butler, Sherri L. Smith, Tracie Baptiste, and Nnedi Okorafor and used those stories to inform their own work. In detailing her own process, she explores with the hosts how academia should encourage storytelling, especially for scholars of color, rather than enforcing that they write in a more standard voice and tone. As a professor she encourages educators to use young adult literature to bridge the gap between learning and storytelling and more information about that can be found on her blog readingblackfutures.com. A full transcript of this episode will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Documentary on the DEEP Center's Block by Block Program: Block by Block's Guide to Resilience 21-22USC Annenberg's Civic Media FellowshipHenry's Civic Imagination ProjectOn Spiritual Strivings, Cynthia Dillard's Book that inspired Toliver's teaching methodsStephanie's Blog Post Defining AfrofuturismAfrofuturism Defined Elsewhere:Afrofuturism: From the Past to the Living Present | UCLAA Beginner's Guide To Afrofuturism: 7 Titles To Watch And Read (Essence)How Afrofuturism Can Help the World Mend | WIREDAfrofuturism: From Books to Blockbusters | It's Lit!

We discuss ch 15-the end of Sherri L. Smith's FLYGIRL. We follow a white-passing Black female protagonist as she makes her way into the Women's Airforce Service Pilots during WWII. FLYGIRL is full of thought-provoking commentary of racism and misogyny as well as daring female pilots, wing-walkers, and beautiful friendships. ***We list trigger warnings before diving into the discussion. If any concern you, we also suggest looking into them yourself online. If you have concerns about potentially triggering content feel free to send us a message in IG or Twitter!!

Today I'm going to be reading a chapter from the book Orleans by Sherri L. Smith --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yasmeen-mo/support

This week, we hear from Sherri Smith, Editor in Chief of Laptop Mag, one of Future plc’s tech titles. She talks about her role working across Future’s sister titles, why Laptop mag is broadening its reach to gaming and audio, maintaining editorial integrity with reviews, and how the title will future-proof itself as technology evolves. She also explains how testing, product launches and reviews are continuing amidst the coronavirus crisis. Smart bidets have their first ever mention on the podcast. In the news roundup the Media Voices trio discuss whether it's appropriate (or even good business sense) to impose a paywall on coronavirus content, whether platforms like Google and Facebook donating money to counter misinformation is a sop, and rattle through news in brief to find some cheerful topics. Don't forget our live episode this Thursday!
