Homelessness, food insecurity, exposure to violence, and access to healthcare – all barriers to young people learning in school. Kids living in poverty is behind many of these challenges. These all issues that schools deal with in providing an education to students. Communities in Schools in Pennsylvania provides what are called "wraparound services to students and schools. The organization's Vice President Lyndsey Sturkey was on Thursday who explained what wraparound services are,"They're just a holistic approach to addressing barriers that students may be facing, particularly outside of school, that's hindering or having a negative impact on their ability to come to school, either ready to learn or continue through through the grades." Communities In Schools offers services including mental health counseling, after-school programs, access to nutritious meals, and housing assistance. The organization says that by addressing students' basic needs, they create a more stable foundation for learning, allowing them to focus on their education. Sturkey pointed out that they use an online tool called the  from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to identify schools that could use their services. Often, those are school districts where there is a larger percentage of students living in poverty or Title 1,"It will give you information on every school district, every school in the entire state. So you can look at standardized test scores over a couple of years. You can look at their socioeconomic breakdown, where kids are coming from, how many kids are in each school, for example. So that's typically where we start -- a lot of the schools that we work with our Title One. So we'll kind of look at which districts may have a lot of Title One. We will also look of where they are geographically. Are they nearby another district where we already work?"Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PFS Power Podcast - Episode 2 - Ruth Sturkey by Personal Finance Society

We talk with Dr. William Sturkey about his incredible study, "Hattiesburg: An American City in Black and White." His book explores how the history of Hattiesburg, MS, is critical to understanding America's history of racism and white supremacy. He also explains how conflict and reconciliation in Hattiesburg foreshadowed today's battle for racial justice. Hattiesburg was founded as Reconstruction is failing, and becomes a place where whites and Blacks collide in the push and pull over the right to live safely and prosperously. He describes why Hattiesburg never attained the same prominence of other small cities in the south, like Birmingham or Montgomery. Sadly, in plumbing the public archives of Hattiesburg, he discovers that African Americans were often erased from history. But his illustration of the family of Turner and Mamie Smith is unforgettable as they strive to be free of the strains of white supremacy.Dr. Sturkey, a professor at the University of North Carolina, is available on social media at twitter.com/william_sturkeySupport our show at patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution will be given to a charity for children's literacy**"Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at www.twitter.com/axelbankhistorywww.instagram.com/axelbankhistorywww.facebook.com/axelbankhistory

What is the history behind the president’s style of rhetoric, and what does the past tell us about how to counteract it? Jennifer Mercieca, historian of rhetoric and author of Demagogue for President, visited Zócalo with William Sturkey, historian and author of Hattiesburg: An American City in Black and White. They traded questions and insights into the history behind the president’s words, live on Twitter on June 16, 2020. The conversation touched on the history of presidential rhetorical strategies, such as reification and paralipsis, as well as the difference between history and memory in Americans' understanding of the Civil War. The talk also explained “law and order” rhetoric, its recent history in the U.S., as well as its roots in ancient history, and discussed why it continues to appeal to certain voters.

History, says UNC professor William Sturkey, isn’t necessarily what happened. “It’s what gets written down.” Recent events like the renaming of Saunders Hall, and the national attention focused on the Silent Sam confederate monument, have forced Carolina to reckon with the unwritten parts of its racial history. That’s the point of the “Race and Memory at UNC” class taught by Sturkey, an assistant professor of history. His class is one of 18 in the University’s shared learning initiative, titled “Reckoning: Race, Memory and Reimagining the Public University.” Over 800 students are taking courses. Sturkey's class is the only one designed specifically for the initiative. It is by far the largest, with over 100 students enrolled. Sturkey doesn't want to reinvent the wheel. He just wants to teach history in a much more transparent and honest way. And if that makes some folks uncomfortable, well, that gives him fuel for the fire. Because he doesn't want his grandchildren to be having these same racial arguments 100 years from now.

If you really want to understand Jim Crow—what it was and how African Americans rose up to defeat it—you should start by visiting Mobile Street in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the heart of the historic black downtown. There you can see remnants of the shops and churches where, amid the violence and humiliation of segregation, men and women gathered to build a remarkable community. William Sturkey introduces us to both old-timers and newcomers who arrived in search of economic opportunities promised by the railroads, sawmills, and factories of the New South. He also takes us across town and inside the homes of white Hattiesburgers to show how their lives were shaped by the changing fortunes of the Jim Crow South. In Hattiesburg: An American City in Black and White (Harvard University Press, 2019), Sturkey reveals the stories behind those who struggled to uphold their southern “way of life” and those who fought to tear it down—from William Faulkner's great-grandfather, a Confederate veteran who was the inspiration for the enigmatic character John Sartoris, to black leader Vernon Dahmer, whose killers were the first white men ever convicted of murdering a civil rights activist in Mississippi. Through it all, Hattiesburg traces the story of the Smith family across multiple generations, from Turner and Mamie Smith, who fled a life of sharecropping to find opportunity in town, to Hammond and Charles Smith, in whose family pharmacy Medgar Evers and his colleagues planned their strategy to give blacks the vote.

[Convo starts 5:37] Transparency. Support. Mental Health Awareness. Meet Amara Sturkey, a beautiful 24 year young woman representing the small town of Marion, South Carolina! At the tender age of 23, Amara lost her grandmother and her world completely took a spiral. After medically withdrawing from college and missing work, she knew that this problem was greater than a lack of grieving her recent loss. She was diagnosed with anxiety, depression and later Bipolar I disorder. After suffering for months in silence, she was encouraged to tell her story and created The Silent Me, a non-profit organization that strives to raise awareness about mental health and help erase the negative stigmas associated with them. Since its creation just one year ago, Amara has spoken over 50 times at numerous events across SC, NC, and GA, and hosted the first annual The Silent Me Walk in Marion, SC during Mental Health Awareness Month (May 2017).   Her transparency is REMARKABLE and there is so much that everyone can learn from this episode. Be sure to listen to this episode and share its gems with your loved ones who may be suffering or supporting someone suffering, and those who do not know what mental illness looks like.  Connect with Amara and The Silent Me For booking inquires email thesilentme2016@gmail.com Website and Blog: www.thesilentme.weebly.com Instagram:@the_silentme Facebook: The Silent Me Groupme: The Silent Me Support Group Intro Music: "Geechie Low country" by American Foreign (Produced by ApolloTone) Listen to his full album "7even 7ummers" on Apple Music, Tidal, Google Play, Spotify and more by searching AMERICAN FOREIGN.
