Terri L. White is President and CEO of the Charlotte Museum of History, home to the Rock House, the oldest surviving structure in Mecklenburg County, built in 1774. She’s the first African-American to lead the museum in its history. Terri came to Charlotte in 2019 after an operations role at Lowe’s, following years of development and operations work at the Heinz History Center, the Carnegie Science Center, and the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. She stepped into the CEO role in July 2022 and has spent every year since transforming what was, by her own account, an overlooked institution. Under her leadership, the museum has nearly doubled in operational size, with rising attendance, membership, and grant revenue. She was named a 2024 Charlottean of the Year for her work.

Scholar, anthropologist and president-in-residence and co-chairperson of the capital campaign for UNCF, Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole shares her thoughts about the state of HBCUs, the fate of Black history at the Smithsonian and her distinguished career. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tavis-smiley--6286410/support.

We explore the mysterious 1909 Arizona Gazette report, the alleged Smithsonian expedition, Egyptian-named formations in the Grand Canyon and claims that important archaeological evidence was concealed from the public.The program also investigates America's ancient Indigenous mounds, including Cahokia, Serpent Mound, Ocmulgee, Moundville and the Hopewell earthworks. What was discovered inside these structures? Who constructed them? Are their similarities to Egyptian pyramids evidence of ancient contact—or did separate civilizations independently develop monumental architecture, astronomy, burial traditions and extensive trade networks?SailyAffordable eSIM data for international travel ⁠⁠https://go.saily.site/aff_c?offer_id=101&aff_id=⁠⁠16399Podcast: Sunday, Monday, and ThursdayLINKS:⁠⁠⁠https://www.officialmoringamagic.com/#aff=enamul33 ⁠⁠⁠ moringa pillsMasonic Regalia and Jewelry Wholesale Prices | Bricks Masons https://bit.ly/4a2nn4DThe Encyclopedia of Power Foods- Latest2024!

Last week, The Trek Files followed Gene Roddenberry to the 1966 World Science Fiction Convention in Cleveland, where he hoped to convince a skeptical audience of serious science-fiction fans that his new television series was worthy of their attention. This week, Glen E. Swanson, author of Inspired Enterprise, returns to examine what happened next. Our document is a December 1966 letter from science-fiction fan Mike Deckinger, who tells Desilu that he was among more than 1,000 people who watched Roddenberry preview Star Trek at Tricon and witnessed the audience give him a standing ovation. By then, Star Trek had been on the air for three months, and Deckinger was already urging the studio to protect a series he believed was offering television something different: mature stories, intelligent ideas, and contributions from established science-fiction writers. His brief letter gives us a valuable eyewitness account of a moment that Roddenberry himself would recount for years to come. Glen and Larry then trace the ripples from that weekend through Roddenberry's excited telegrams back to Hollywood, a special award from the convention that Gene kept on his office wall for decades, and the award's later appearance in a full-page trade advertisement promoting Star Trek for Emmy consideration. What began as an attempt to win over one of science fiction's toughest audiences became something more lasting: an early stamp of approval from the community Star Trek most wanted to take it seriously. Documents and additional resources Mike Deckinger letter to Desilu Studios, December 7, 1966 Star Trek "For Your Consideration" trade advertisement featuring the Tricon award and endorsements from science and science-fiction figures, 1967.

This week, Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch announced his retirement after a nearly four decade affiliation with its network and ending his seven year tenure as the first African American and first Historian to lead the institution founded in 1848. A decade ago this month, the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened. Bunche's efforts leading both institutions provide a lens through which to consider ongoing contests over relationships between integrating various national identities into larger Social Structures of state affiliation, citizenship and belonging.In an era where white nationalist nativism in the United States increasingly aligns with global white supremacist political movements, Bunch's structural attempts to integrate various competing narratives of collective memory often inflamed U.S. white nationalist ideologues and extremists determined to use high-stakes cultural battlegrounds to cement an emerging minority rule.This collision of narrative and space echoes Paul Goldberger's recent reflection on the World Trade Center's 25th anniversary in The New York Times, where he observed, "You can destroy something in an instant, but it will take a generation to rebuild it, and even then it cannot ever be the same."The Africana Studies Framework allows us to examine both competing ideas of Governance and underlying Social Structures in which they exist. How do we recognize both interpretive differences and undeniable realities? How can we use Movement and Memory to build self-determining Governance formations? And what can and will emerge in the wake of a shifting world system?Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

We're back after a break, and the August interim docket handed us two per curiam standing rulings. In Trump v. California, the Court stayed the injunction against the mail-ballot executive order because the states' injuries were too hypothetical, even as the Postal Service's final rule has already been enjoined and is already back at the Court. In National Park Service v. National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Court let the ballroom construction continue because a historic preservationist's aesthetic injury is "mere offense," which leaves us asking why a crocodile counts and the White House doesn't. We work through ripeness, the Purcell principle turned inside out, the standing realignment that may not have realigned after all, and why the Chief dissented. Along the way: the Justices' papers and who really owns them, a philosopher's note on conditionals, a mixed metaphor unmixed, and the difference between teaching from a script and teaching from a cocktail napkin.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: a scheduled Friday recording is no longer unpredictable; Dan is teaching fed courts out of "Baude et al." (Hart & Wechsler), and Will insists he's only holding it in trust.[00:02:27] Jodi Kantor's NYT story on the justices' papers: Justice Scalia made no plan, Justice Ginsburg's Library of Congress conditions, and whether papers printed on government paper are personal property.[00:08:17] Will's tentative new institutionalist view: release everything after ten years so the justices have to talk to each other in person.[00:11:26] Feedback: Yale philosopher Daniel Greco on conditionals in formal logic vs. spoken English; a listener catches Will retelling the "thriving atrocities practice" story from Season 1.[00:15:27] Two per curiam standing rulings from the August interim docket, 6-3 and 5-4.[00:16:08] Trump v. California: Executive Order 14399's citizenship lists, prosecution priority, and Postal Service rule, plus a lowercase-r republican form of government and Luther v. Borden.[00:24:19] The stay: no standing, no ripeness, and whether ripeness is jurisdictional or equitable.[00:27:31] Walking Sections 2(a), 2(b), and 3: making a list is not an injury, "no well-founded fear" of prosecution, and Clapper.[00:32:26] The Post Office's final rule issued the weekend before the opinion, is already enjoined again, and is already back at the Court; cremated humans, replica explosives, and enough green ink.[00:36:29] Predictions: Will says at least five justices will keep the rule off the books before this election; Dan bets at least one majority justice says the president is fine; the major questions doctrine vs. Gregory v. Ashcroft.[00:39:09] Purcell inside out: when the body that isn't supposed to regulate elections meddles on the eve of one, courts stand back to let instability prevail.[00:45:11] The dissents: Justice Sotomayor's four don't-panic pages vs. Justice Jackson's 23, and her recurring Trump v. CASA-era argument that the Court should ask who is actually right.[00:49:45] "Another shoe drop in the Kafkaesque nightmare": Dan objects to the mixed metaphor, researches the origin of the other shoe, and proposes the shoe of Damocles.[00:53:42] Re and Paz-Priel's The Standing Realignment lands in the Supreme Court Review the same week an old-school 6-3 standing lineup comes back.[00:56:53] National Park Service v. National Trust: the demolished East Wing, 40 U.S.C. § 8106, Nixon's tennis nets, and a strong argument on the merits the Court never reaches.[01:00:12] Alison Hoagland's aesthetic injury: Lujan's crocodile, Mineral King, the White House as a national park, and the majority's "mere offense" line.[01:05:44] Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and Judge Ho's aesthetic-babies theory; the ballroom is closer to a national park than to a baby; seeing X vs. not seeing Y.[01:08:21] Why the Chief dissented (the Smithsonian theory vs. the good-lawyer theory) and who wrote the per curiam ("Start with this" sounds like Justice Gorsuch).[01:13:52] Breaking mid-recording: National Republican Congressional Committee v. Brown, the FCC's lowest unit charge, Justice Jackson alone in dissent, deferred to next time.[01:15:33] Teaching notes: Will's one-page Word docs (now consolidated by Claude into something beyond a cocktail napkin) vs. Dan's scripts; sign-off.Relevant linksCasesTrump v.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we're looking back on our 2020 episode about the Broadway musical Come From Away.If you're a Broadway fan, you've likely heard about Come From Away—the Tony-award-winning smash-hit musical with a story firmly rooted in generations of aviation history. On September 11, 2001, 38 commercial airliners were diverted out of US air space to a small town with a big airport called Gander, Newfoundland. Come From Away puts a spotlight on Beverley Bass, American Airlines' first woman Captain who commanded one of the aircraft. Our hosts sit down with Beverley to hear the story of her incredible career firsthand, and with Come from Away's writers, Irene Sankoff and David Hein, to learn how they were inspired to write an entire musical about the biggest aviation hub you've likely never heard of. Early aviation history, pioneering pilots, and one community's story of unity on a day of infamy—there's a lot going on in this episode (but still no intermission).Thanks to our guests in this episode: Beverley Bass Irene Sankoff David Hein Find the transcript for this episode and more information at https://airandspace.si.edu/airspace-podcast/Me-and-the-Sky-Revisited. Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at https://s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter. AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

In this episode, hosts Sharelle B. and Sierra T. dive into the complexities of race, politics, and media in America. From the use of the N-word in hip hop to immigration issues and BET's recent digital shift, they unpack how history, political manipulation, and self-education shape the way we navigate a complex world. Blending current events, social issues, and personal insight, Sharelle and Sierra explore societal biases, political accountability, and the importance of preserving Black stories — all while empowering listeners with the knowledge and critical thinking skills to see through the noise.

Voters in New Hampshire picked their Senate candidates in one of the last primaries of the season, the final piece in a race for the Senate that’s now a genuine toss-up. NBC News national-politics reporter Bridget Bowman lays out where things stand.A dozen countries — including the U.K., France, and Canada — have announced sanctions targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The BBC has the details.Americans are being scammed out of their money at record levels, losing close to $16 billion in 2025 alone. Associated Press investigative reporter Erika Kinetz shares what she and ‘Frontline' found about who’s being targeted, the devastating emotional toll on victims, and why so few ever get their money back.Plus, a turbulent day in the Middle East as the U.S. resumed strikes and the Houthis expanded their attacks. Also, the Smithsonian’s top official announced his retirement, and thieves pulled off another daring heist at a French museum.Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Today's Headlines: So Donnie's AI slop posting frenzy over the weekend caused Iceland to summon the US ambassador after he posted a map with the American flag over all of North America, Greenland, and Iceland — Denmark called it "disturbing and completely inappropriate" — and Iceland is now accelerating its EU membership vote, having previously moved it up after Trump confused them with Greenland four times in one speech. Trump also threatened to ban Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from the US market unless they build planes domestically, despite Bombardier's supply chain already involving 3,000 American companies across 47 states, with wings made in Texas and engines from Phoenix. And on the Iran war, the US launched more strikes on Iranian oil tankers in response to Iran's latest attacks on American warships. Meanwhile, the Smithsonian's secretary Lonnie Bunch is stepping down by year's end, citing Trump's harassment of the institution and attempts to rewrite American history in its museums. The Republican Party's invented midterm convention kicks off in Dallas this week with Trump's approval rating at around 30%, and not every Republican is showing up — Susan Collins among the notable absences. This week marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and New York City released over 170,000 pages of documents suggesting city officials knew the air quality near Ground Zero after 9/11 was unsafe while telling the public otherwise, with more firefighters dying of related illnesses than were killed on the day itself. Speaking of 9/11, TSA launched a new program called Gateside allowing PreCheck members to enter airports without tickets to meet people at gates – a pre-9/11 experience making a limited comeback. And finally, a dozen countries including the UK, France, and Canada announced they're halting trade with Israeli West Bank settlements, with Israel responding by closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem and expelling British representatives from Gaza.

Enter, if you dare, the corn maze of one New Brunswick farm, which celebrates the corn-sistent corn-tributions of PWHL great Marie-Philippe Poulin, by being shaped like her face. As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that's always looking at the broader corn-text.

For decades, Africa has too often been viewed through the narrow lenses of crisis, conflict, and poverty. But today's guest has spent a lifetime making the case that the continent is far more accurately understood as a place of extraordinary opportunity, innovation, diplomacy, and global importance. Joining me is Witney Schneidman—former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the Clinton Administration, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, founder of an Africa-focused consulting practice, board member of the Corporate Council on Africa, and advisory board member of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art. In his new memoir, This Africa Idea: A Memoir of Discovery, Diplomacy, and Opportunity, Schneidman reflects on a career that placed him at the center of pivotal moments in modern African history—from South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy and the peace process in Angola to the creation of the African Growth and Opportunity Act, one of the most significant U.S.-Africa trade initiatives in history. Today we'll discuss diplomacy, economic development, leadership, entrepreneurship, and why Africa's future matters more than ever—not only to Africans, but to the entire world.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Metro Shrimp & Grits Thursdays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, the MAGA DOJ fired a career federal prosecutor “for waging lawfare” against a cadre of “MAGA Warriors,” moments before their twenty-million dollar Medicare fraud trial, on the orders from a twenty-four year old Bannon War Room MAGA influencer.Then, on the rest of the menu, the security researcher who helped expose that former FBI counterintelligence official Charles McGonigal was working for a Russian oligarch, has been found dead at her home; Trump goons issued a bonkers new threat in its escalating war against the Smithsonian; and, a slew of ‘vindictive' DOJ cases are in peril as defense lawyers say Trump 'caused terror, violence and murder.'After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where the German Neo-Nazi AfD party has targeted the iconic Bauhaus school ahead of a landmark state election, just like the Nazis did in 1933; and, Norwegian authorities seized a Russian vessel in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard as part of a global effort to enforce a four-billion dollar arbitration award.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“Everyone in this good city enjoys the full right to pursue their own inclinations in all reasonable and, unreasonable ways.” — The Daily Picayune, New Orleans, March 5, 1851Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.

Join us as we explore the worldwide phenomenon behind the revival of Homer's 3000-year-old story, the kaleidoscopic and hallucinogenic return of Odysseus to Ithaka, the Greek island that has become an icon for home itself. There is the immense beauty of the poem itself and the historical importance of Homer's accomplishment, but what does the story mean to us now, how can it help illuminate the chaos of our lives today? Composed by the Poet Known as Homer, around 650 BC, it was based on a story about the Trojan War that was already hundreds of years old. Since then, the story about the hallucinogenic adventures of Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and wife Penelope have cast a spell over cultures around the world, haunting poets, playwrights and philosophers, and taunting the efforts of archaeologists, linguists and now filmmakers to render it in modern terms. Our conversation will explore the myriad life lessons of Homer's masterpiece that have inspired readers, listeners and now viewers for millennia, with a focus on the central theme of the nostoi, the return stories of ancient Greek soldiers, adventurers, philosophers and scientists coming home, and the wider question of what home meant to the ancients—and what home means to us now, the most rootless people in recorded history. Along the way, we will have an animated exchange about the wide range of translations, from Alexander Pope, T. E. Lawrence, and E. V. Rieu, to Richard Lattimore, Emily Wilson and Daniel Mendelosohn. Finally, we will playfully review the myriad movie versions, from George Melies' four-minute version in 1905, to the 1956 Ulysses with Kirk Douglas, and the freshly minted Odyssey helmed by Christopher Nolan.   Finally, there is the surprising realization that it is five female characters (Penelope, Athena, Calypso, Circe and Nausicaa) who helped guide Odysseus homeward, and the centuries-long influence on art, literature and cinema. Join us for a celebration of the soul-saving power of this ancient Greek tale, which sings of the aftermath of a savage war and the restoration of our hero's home, all the while insisting on need to say “yes” to life.  About the Speaker Phil Cousineau is the author of The Wisdom of the Odyssey and over 40 other books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage, and The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work.

This episode explores Dr. Corinne Kratz (Emory University) 's latest monograph, Rhetorics of Value (Duke University Press 2025) "In Rhetorics of Value, Corinne A. Kratz explores how exhibition design creates and conveys values that have the potential to touch, educate, and engage visitors. Drawing on case studies from the Victoria and Albert Museum, museums in South Africa and Kenya, a Hawaiian resort hotel, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, among others, Kratz shows how exhibits help shape and narrate cultural categories, values, and histories while provoking questions and evoking memories and experiences. She crosses contexts to consider ethnographic, history, and art exhibits in national and community museums and other display settings. Through these examples, Kratz traces how exhibition designers combine objects, texts, images, lighting, audio, space, and narratives to craft a complex, multilayered communicative form that visitors experience as they move through museums. By investigating the relationship between audience reception and exhibition design strategies, Kratz contends that through design, exhibits can shape the ways we know, the stories we tell, and our contours of meaning and engagement."

James Smithson left his fortune to America so that she could “increase and diffuse knowledge.” Smithsonian leadership now uses tax dollars to diffuse a Marxist distortion of American history instead. We need a course correction: new board members, new leadership, and exhibits that tell the whole truth—our shared inheritance—without teaching visitors to hate their country. […]

#744: With about $200 and a crypto exchange, historian Joseph Moore turned himself into a legitimate billionaire — a stunt that says more about how money actually works than most financial advice does. It's also a preview of the 300-year argument he makes in this episode: that almost everything we're told about money is newer, and far less permanent, than we think. Joseph Moore, PhD, is a historian and the national bestselling author of How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't). His own self-experiments with historical money strategies helped him become financially independent in his mid-40s. In this episode, we discuss: How "never save your money" used to be completely reasonable financial advice Why bonds quietly beat stocks for nearly all of the 1800s How to spot when today's "obvious" financial rules are about to expire Why real estate booms always show up right alongside inflation spikes Why young people's unemployment is outpacing everyone else's — and what history says to do about it Why economic optimism and economic data have stopped matching up Why building more housing is the only housing-crisis fix that's ever actually worked This one's for anyone who feels like the rules of money keep changing under them — because they do, and always have. Understanding that pattern is the first step to building wealth in whatever era you happen to be living in. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.
