Podcasts about Tuskegee University

Boobie and Modd are back with Episode 185, and after some time away, they've got plenty to talk about. The guys kick things off with the obvious question: Where the hell have they been? That conversation turns into a real talk about the importance of taking a break, slowing down, and realizing that sometimes slow motion really is the best motion.Then they get into everything they missed while they were gone—from summer recaps and freaky run clubs to the wild Penn State drug case of Pablo Pledgescobar and the controversy surrounding Tuskegee University's ban on durags and bonnets. Is the policy anti-Black, or is there more to the story?Plus: summer memories, questionable decisions, cultural debates, plenty of laughs, and a whole lot more.

This week on So Shameless, celebrity chef @Chef.Cream joins us on the couch for a conversation that goes from entrepreneurship and community to race, culture, and some of the biggest debates happening in Black America. We kick things off talking about Traum's successful block party, the work that went into curating the event, and Tahoe's new icee cart—which leads to a conversation about his hustler mentality and why he's always looking for the next opportunity. Then we address the backlash from last week's episode before getting into a much bigger question: Are all white people racist? And what do we make of white influencers who build platforms around being “pro-Black”? Are they genuine allies, profiting from Black culture, or can both things be true? We also discuss Tuskegee University's new dress code, including the controversy surrounding restrictions on bonnets and durags, and the debate over respectability, professionalism, and cultural expression. Then we get into the criticism surrounding Earn Your Leisure and Invest Fest, including Rashad Bilal's comments about creating a festival specifically for Black people and why the event has become such a polarizing topic online. Finally, we discuss disturbing reports involving Black people being found hanging from trees in the South and the fear, anger, and questions those cases have raised—including what Black communities should demand from authorities when circumstances surrounding a death are unclear. It's another uncomfortable, complicated, and very So Shameless conversation. Tap in and let us know where you stand.Socials Cream@Chef.Cream on Instagram and TikTok

Last week, we asked whether Black institutions and communities can establish standards without falling into respectability politics.Apparently… y'all had A LOT to say.After our discussion surrounding Tuskegee University, bonnets, durags, community accountability, and Black standards, the backlash came quickly—and this week, the TMC crew is addressing it head-on.When does encouraging higher standards become policing Blackness?Can we criticize behaviors within our own community without being labeled anti-Black?Does every conversation about professionalism automatically center the “white gaze,” or is there room for Black people to establish expectations for ourselves on our own terms?And maybe the biggest question:Have we reached a point where accountability itself is being treated as disrespect?The crew responds to the criticism, clarifies where we stand, and digs even deeper into the uncomfortable tension between community standards, cultural identity, respectability politics, and self-determination.Before things get heated, we kick off the episode with some classic TMC shenanigans, including predictions for Donell Jones vs. Joe, thoughts on Jonathan Majors' career trajectory, and more.Later, The Shenanigan Report leads us into another heartbreaking conversation surrounding Black safety, violence, and the lessons we continue being forced to learn.In this episode:

Oh to be a bubbly Black girl! This week we talk durags and bonnets ban at Tuskegee University, Doordash's in app storefront Cringemart, jealous partners, and the importance of whimsical women.

The conversation covers a range of topics, including an impromptu podcast, the Tuskegee University dress code controversy, the HBCU experience, HBCU rules and stereotypes, HBCU branding and consumer influence, political scandals, political party double standards, and LeBron's career decision. The conversation covers the rich history of basketball, the state of the WNBA and women's sports, the evolution of sports popularity, NFL training camp and player health, and the prevention of injuries in football. It concludes with closing remarks and upcoming events.TakeawaysHBCU experience and rulesPolitical party double standards The cyclical nature of sports popularityThe importance of investment and activism in sportsChapters00:00 Impromptu Pod01:10 Tuskegee University Dress Code04:18 HBCU Experience06:14 HBCU Rules and Stereotypes09:30 HBCU Branding and Consumer Influence12:24 Political Scandals17:38 Political Party Double Standards20:41 LeBron's Career Decision23:42 The Rich History of Basketball26:08 The WNBA and Women's Sports31:24 The Evolution of Sports Popularity34:06 NFL Training Camp and Player Health39:02 Preventing Injuries in Football41:44 Closing Remarks and Upcoming Events

In this episode, we explore the evolving standards of professionalism and respectability politics within black institutions, the significance of self-respect, and the importance of maintaining dignity through dress and behavior as our panel discusses the implications of dress codes at Tuskegee University, the cultural significance of presentation, and how these standards reflect broader societal values. Also, we explore the complex history of colorism, representation, and societal perceptions of beauty within the Black community, highlighting how these issues influence casting, stereotypes, and personal identity.

Welcome back to Talk My Credo Podcast EP218!This week, the crew tackles the controversy surrounding Tuskegee University's restrictions on bonnets and durags—and the much larger debate hiding underneath it:Is this community accountability, or is it respectability politics?Should historically Black institutions establish standards for how students present themselves, or do these policies unfairly police Black expression and place too much emphasis on gaining outside approval?The crew examines the difference between encouraging excellence and reinforcing respectability politics, the exhaustion many Black Americans feel from constant criticism, and whether some conversations about “protecting Black culture” remain too centered on white acceptance.We also explore enclothed cognition—the psychological idea that what we wear can influence how we think, behave, and perceive ourselves. Can dress standards positively shape an academic environment, or does that argument ignore the cultural meaning behind certain styles?After responding to Tuskegee University's explanation and the public backlash, the crew moves into The Shenanigan Report to discuss racist criticism directed at Lupita over her portrayal of Helen of Troy, debates over race-conscious casting, the controversy surrounding Children of Blood and Bone, the future of Black Panther, and whether Black celebrities should be expected to guide the community.In this episode:

In this episode we bring in the Black and Snerdy Podcast to discuss Tuskegee University's update of their dress code to exclude Durags and Bonnets amongst other things regarding respectability politics and so much more.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation covering politics, media, race, culture, sports, and celebrity discourse. After Mandii previews the episode’s agenda [ 00:38 ], the crew checks in and introduces the producers [ 02:48 ] before examining how social media algorithms and comment sections increasingly determine what information people see, believe, and engage with [ 06:47 ]. A hilarious detour into gut health, relationships, and couples getting way too comfortable with bathroom habits follows [ 10:14 ], before A-King raises concerns about the lack of urgency surrounding the upcoming midterm elections, questioning why political optics and viral conversations often receive more attention than policy, voting, and civic engagement [ 15:32 ]. The crew continues by asking whether the public is truly prepared for the midterms—or simply waiting until election season becomes another trending topic [ 24:02 ]. In “This Is America,” the conversation returns to the Nolan Wells case as the hosts review newly cleaned-up emergency audio prepared by sound engineer Jeanetta Brantley [ 25:34 ]. The recording sparks questions about the use of artificial intelligence and audio enhancement in investigations, with the crew debating when technological tools provide clarity and when skepticism is warranted [ 27:11 ], before examining what they believe can actually be heard in the enhanced clip [ 30:00 ]. The discussion expands to reports of potential defamation litigation [ 31:18 ], the purpose of preservation letters and protecting evidence during legal disputes [ 33:25 ], and concerns raised about missing organs following the autopsy [ 34:24 ]. As media personalities weigh in on the developing story [ 35:19 ], the hosts debate the rise of political grifters, outrage-driven media, and booking controversial personalities simply to manufacture debate [ 37:04 ]. That leads to a nuanced conversation surrounding Candace Owens [ 38:04 ] and Mandii’s own experiences with online controversy and public backlash [ 39:12 ]. The episode then turns to Tuskegee University’s new student etiquette and dress-code policies, including restrictions surrounding bonnets and durags, sparking a passionate debate over professionalism, Black cultural expression, and institutional standards [ 42:57 ]. The crew puts their perspectives to the test with an “Are We Aligned?” vote [ 44:15 ], before unpacking respectability politics and the tension between personal freedom and expectations placed on Black students [ 46:31 ]. They question whether traditional ideas of respectability actually reflect real-world professionalism [ 51:03 ], examine the racial and cultural biases attached to durags and bonnets [ 53:20 ], and debate how much authority HBCUs should have over student appearance and individual expression [ 56:29 ]. The conversation shifts back to activism as the crew discusses allegations that Colin Kaepernick stopped communicating with activist Mysonne, using the situation to examine the realities of organizing, movement-building, celebrity activism, and what happens when public alliances fracture behind the scenes [ 01:03:33 ]. Sports takes over briefly with reactions to LeBron James joining Philadelphia [ 01:15:18 ] and growing excitement surrounding the upcoming NBA season [ 01:19:20 ]. From there, the hosts tackle Michael Porter Jr.’s comments about women who travel, questioning whether frequent travel should really be considered a dating red flag [ 01:21:25 ] and pushing back on the idea that women traveling for experiences automatically signals something negative about their character [01:22:31 ]. Closing out the episode, the crew reacts to Nara Smith rejecting the “tradwife” label following her appearance on Call Her Daddy [ 01:32:04 ], sparking a larger debate about traditional gender roles, influencer branding, public perception, and whether online personalities can distance themselves from identities that helped build their audiences. That conversation evolves into a spirited discussion about grifting, rebranding, authenticity, and the difference between how creators define themselves versus how the public interprets their content [ 01:38:15 ]. The episode concludes with final thoughts and credits [ 01:50:00 ], wrapping another Selective Ignorance conversation that challenges listeners to look beyond viral headlines and consider how politics, algorithms, identity, activism, and internet culture shape what we believe and how we engage with the world around us.

The show also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Tuskegee University’s new dress code, which bans items such as bonnets, durags, and bedroom slippers in classrooms and certain campus spaces while requiring students to maintain more professional attire.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show tackled some of the biggest entertainment and culture stories making headlines, starting with news that a new Joe Jackson docuseries is headed to BLK Prime. Developed and narrated by Marlon Jackson, the eight-episode series will explore the late Jackson family patriarch’s rise from Gary, Indiana, to managing one of music’s most successful dynasties while also addressing the long-running debate about his parenting and management style. The show also discussed Olympic champion Sha’Carri Richardson avoiding jail time after reaching a plea agreement in her Florida speeding case. Richardson, who was accused of driving more than 100 mph, was ordered to pay a fine, complete community service, and take a driving course, prompting a conversation about accountability, safety, and learning from mistakes. The entertainment buzz continued with details about The Real Housewives of Atlanta, as Andy Cohen shot down rumors that Shamea Morton was being fired or that NeNe Leakes was returning, signaling that Bravo is standing behind the current cast heading into the next season. The show also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Tuskegee University’s new dress code, which bans items such as bonnets, durags, and bedroom slippers in classrooms and certain campus spaces while requiring students to maintain more professional attire.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 3, 2026. We open with New Jersey Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer saying publicly what many moderate Democrats have been thinking privately — that the Democratic Socialists of America should form their own party rather than using the Democratic Party as a vehicle for building socialist power. We explain why this is significant: the DSA is not an ordinary faction within the Democratic coalition. Its own website describes its mission as building a party designed to defeat capitalist oligarchy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic. It does not want to reform the Democratic Party. It wants to destroy it from within and replace it with something fundamentally different. We walk through what communism actually promises — from each according to their ability, to each according to their need — and what that has produced every single time it has been tried. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced he called off what he described as the biggest planned military strike since World War II after Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Middle Eastern nations asked him to pause as they work to finalize a denuclearization deal with Iran. Then the FBI confirmed that Iranian hackers breached water systems in seven states, causing loss of pressure and flooding, and warned local utilities to disconnect control systems from the internet and ensure manual operation capability — with Minnesota alone confirming 30 targeted water systems. And Todd Blanch's path to Attorney General confirmation cleared after Senators Cornyn and Tillis said they were satisfied by the DOJ's official statement that the anti-weaponization settlement fund was dead — meaning Blanch now appears to have the votes to be confirmed. We also cover the contradiction at the heart of the Iran negotiations — where President Trump says a deal is in progress and Tehran says no negotiation is happening. We explain why this is unsurprising: the Quran permits lying to enemies, Iran has considered itself at war with the United States for nearly 50 years, and the decimation of Iran's leadership structure in the initial strikes has left multiple competing voices with no single authoritative negotiating position. We say what we believe: Trump has done as much as he can to avoid full military escalation. We're not sure it's avoidable. We also cover Zoran Mamdani's government-run grocery stores — where residents will need a special shopper's card to access 30% below-market prices — and note the delicious irony that New York City requires an ID card to buy government-subsidized groceries but calls voter ID racist. We suggest that if they called it a shopper's card at the polling place, Democrats might finally get on board. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether pulling over for a funeral procession is still considered basic respect — and both say yes, without hesitation. Teri shares the story of her mother, who was 13 years old when her father died and never forgot watching cars pull over and people step outside to stand at attention for a man they had never met. Kimberly shares the story of accidentally wedging herself between two limousines in a funeral procession while driving from Benton to Bossier — realized it mid-drive, and discreetly exited as quickly and apologetically as possible. The larger point: funerals aren't for the dead. They're for the living. And when strangers pull over to honor someone they never knew, the family feels it. We dig deep into the Democrat Promise to America — a document modeled on Newt Gingrich's Contract with America, produced by a Democrat congressman and circulated to all 212 House Democrats for signatures. The document says the party is capitalist, not socialist. That it wants safety, not lawlessness. That it will prioritize balancing the budget. That government should solve problems, not create them. That it embraces free speech and persuasion over purity. And that Democrats are proud, not ashamed of America. Out of 212 House Democrats, 15 signed it. Fifteen. We let that sit there. We also cover a one-mile radius in Flushing, New York — where social adult daycares have been billing Medicaid for more than $100 million per year, with storefronts shuttered and rooms empty. We connect it to the broader point that waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs are not accidents. They are incentives — what happens when bureaucracies have no accountability, no profit motive, and no one asking whether the money is actually doing any good. We also cover Capital One's motion to dismiss a lawsuit by President Trump for debanking his company after January 6th — in which Capital One's defense is that it was actually concerned about money laundering. No evidence presented. Bold strategy. For our Bright Spot, Tuskegee University has implemented a new dress code requiring students to arrive on campus in a business suit and proper shoes — as if heading to a business meeting — prohibiting bedroom slippers, bonnets, do-rags, and revealing clothing in class or the cafeteria. We make the case this is not respectability politics. It is the understanding that how you present yourself shapes how you see yourself — and that you walk differently in dress shoes than you do in sneakers. Tuskegee is preparing its students for a lifetime of success. We call it a bright spot. And we close with words of wisdom on dressing for success — from Ralph Lauren, Zig Ziglar, Susan C. Young, and Dabashish Mridha. The clothes don't make the man. But it helps if you look in the mirror and see success staring back at you. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Tuskegee University's dress code has sparked a larger conversation about professionalism, respectability politics and how much control colleges should exercise over what students wear. Randall Barnes and Kiya Wimbush-Robinson examine the university's restrictions on bonnets, durags, sagging pants, sleepwear and other attire. They discuss whether formal rules are necessary, how HBCU students already understand the difference between attending class and entering professional settings, and why student perspectives should remain at the center of the debate. The conversation also addresses generational criticism of college students and Randall's frustration with HBCU media allowing stories involving HBCUs to “break containment” before framing the discussion for itself.

This Week: There's a lot going on… and it's a hot mess.  Tuskegee University, one of the pillars of HBCUs in America, announces a new dress code that prevents students from wearing things like duy-rags, bonnets, and bedroom shoes in classes, dining halls, and other academic settings. The administration says it's part of the school's “responsibility to prepare its students for professional environments after graduation.” A small school district in Western NY state, serving an Indian reservation community, aborts a plan to use life-like, AI powered robots in the classroom, built by a company best known for making sex robots. Sadly, you read that correctly. And, Arizona State University announces a new major focused on helping people become social media influencers.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) open this episode of Black and Snerdy examining Tomi Adeyemi's public statement distancing herself from Paramount's film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone. They walk through Adeyemi's account of the toll the production took on her, weigh comparisons to prior creator-versus-studio conflicts involving The Witcher and Mark Hamill's experience writing Luke Skywalker for The Last Jedi, and discuss concerns about the film's Nigerian setting being flattened into a broader continental aesthetic compared to Black Panther's Wakanda. They close the topic by noting Adeyemi's upcoming novel, Siren, and where each of them personally lands on watching the film once it releases.The conversation then turns to a report that Anthropic destroyed millions of physical books after scanning them to train its AI models, with a rundown of related legal cases including Authors Guild v. Google, Bartz v. Anthropic, and Kadrey v. Meta. Comparisons are drawn to Fahrenheit 451, the Superman villain Brainiac, and Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower while questioning whether digitizing a book justifies destroying the only physical copy. From there they break down Tuskegee University's new dress code under president Dr. Mark A. Brown, weighing it against dress norms at Howard University and Georgetown, before covering a Howard University enrollment controversy involving roughly five hundred students and closing with updates on Law and Order's expanded run on Peacock and Netflix.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠

✨ Tuskegee University just BANNED bonnets, durags, slippers, and pajamas on campus — and the whole internet is picking sides. ✨In today's episode, we're getting into the Tuskegee HBCU dress code ban and the viral video of a woman confronting a total stranger IN THE STORE for wearing her bonnet in public. Is this about pride and presentation... or is policing Black women's hair going too far?We'll break down:

The policy, announced alongside stricter expectations regarding attendance, classroom behavior, and cell phone usage, is part of President Dr. Mark A. Brown's broader effort to prepare students for the professional workforce while the university welcomes its largest incoming class in more than three decades. On this special edition of The Academia Report, Prof. Drea joins Q of Let's Talk 2 to examine the issue beyond the social media headlines. Is Tuskegee restoring a culture of excellence and professionalism that once defined many historically Black colleges and universities? Or does the policy place an unnecessary burden on students by regulating personal appearance in ways that critics argue are outdated or overly restrictive?We'll explore the history of dress codes at HBCUs, including the fact that Tuskegee has maintained dress and decorum expectations for years, with earlier policies already discouraging sleepwear and certain head coverings in academic settings. The latest announcement expands and clarifies those expectations while emphasizing career readiness and professional development. The discussion will also examine why this debate has become so emotionally charged within the Black community. Are bonnets, du-rags, and bedroom slippers simply practical items of convenience, or have they become symbols in a larger conversation about self-image, discipline, public presentation, and cultural expectations? We'll compare workplace standards, educational environments, and evolving generational attitudes while asking whether colleges should teach professional norms alongside academic knowledge.As always, The Academia Report is committed to thoughtful, evidence-based conversations rather than viral outrage. Prof. Drea and Q will analyze the educational philosophy behind the policy, the historical mission of HBCUs to develop leaders and professionals, and the broader questions surrounding institutional authority, student autonomy, and cultural identity. Whether you support Tuskegee's decision or oppose it, this conversation aims to move beyond slogans and social media reactions to explore what this moment says about higher education, community standards, and preparing the next generation of Black professionals.

Head men’s and women’s tennis coach and REACH advisor at Tuskegee University. Here's a summary of the key themes and highlights:

If your homeschool feels like a never-ending pile of curriculum, co-ops, and pressure, there is a better way — and it starts with doing less.This episode digs into what an elite education actually means, why most homeschool moms are overcomplicating & adding more things out of fear, and how simplifying your homeschool gives your kids more time to think, go deeper, and actually love learning. You will walk away with one practical step to take this week and a completely different lens for every homeschool decision you make going forward.Homeschool moms who are exhausted from checking every box and still wondering if it is enough will find this episode both freeing and clarifying. Elite education is not about harder curriculum or longer school days — it is about raising kids who think critically, make wise decisions, and love learning for a lifetime.What is covered in this episode:✅Why fear drives homeschool overwhelm and how to break the cycle✅What an elite education really means — and it has nothing to do with harder subjects✅Why deep focus beats scattered assignments every single time✅How doing less gives your child more time to actually think✅1 thing to remove from your homeschool this weekCheck out Raising Leaders, Not Followers and start giving your kids the elite (BEST) education they were made for.Resources for You:Raising Leaders, Not Followers Course Show Notes:What If the Best Education Actually Comes From Doing Less?Most homeschool moms secretly wonder — am I doing enough? What if my kids fall behind? What if I miss something important? So what do we do? We add more and more — more curriculum, more activities, more pressure on everyone. But what if the best education actually comes from doing less? Doing less and doing it differently.Fear Is Driving Your OverwhelmI think too many moms are homeschooling from fear. The fear of not preparing your kids for the future. The fear they won't succeed. The fear they'll miss some opportunities. And this fear leads to overloading your schedules and chasing everything.When's the last time your kids could just hang out, go outside and play, go shoot some hoops? Most moms think more is better. So they sign their kids up for multiple programs, all the co-ops, all the curriculum — and they still feel unsure about whether their kids are going to be ready.Abraham Lincoln had less than one year of formal schooling. He was self-educated. He learned through reading, through reflecting, and through real life experiences. And he went on to be one of the most influential people in history. His education would not be complete according to public school standards — they've got a long list of things you're supposed to do and it's just busy work. But he developed into an educated person through thinking, through character, and through leadership.What Is an Elite Education?This is what I call an elite education. And I think most of you would like to give that to your kids — but you're not sure how. Elite education is not harder curriculum. It's not more subjects.Elite education means thinking critically, understanding deeply, making wise biblical decisions, loving learning for a lifetime, and having a foundation of godly biblical character. This is what actually prepares kids for adulthood. The academics come along, but that is not the focus. An elite education prepares a child for adulthood.George Washington Carver and Tuskegee UniversityGeorge Washington Carver was born into slavery and had very limited formal education as a child. But he was curious. He spent hours in nature exploring and experimenting and teaching himself — because schools for Black children were not really available back then. He educated himself through observation and personal study, and he later became one of the leading agricultural scientists. He developed hundreds of uses for peanuts and other plants.What made him exceptional was not a traditional school. It was curiosity, perseverance, and a love for learning.He eventually started teaching at Tuskegee University, founded by Booker T. Washington. And this university was more than academics. Every student who came there had to learn a trade. Maybe they learned cooking and actually cooked the food for the other students in the dorms. Maybe they learned carpentry and built the buildings for the university. Everyone had a trade as well as a field of study.And you know what happened in 1905? Tuskegee University had more self-made millionaires than Harvard, Yale, and Princeton combined. Because they had a different approach to education. It was more than just academics. They learned real life skills.What Happens When You SimplifyWhen you simplify your homeschool, your kids have time to think. They go deeper instead of rushing through their assignments. Learning becomes meaningful because it has purpose and intention.When you overload your children, all they do is check off the boxes. Retention drops drastically. Motivation disappears. That's when you get all those attitude problems and learning doesn't really happen.A child that is deeply interested in one topic — just one topic — learns reading through books, writing through a reading journal, thinking through discussion. Reading, writing, discussion. That is real learning, not a bunch of scattered assignments.You don't need to do more. You need a clear framework — a way to filter your decisions, a way to know that you are doing the right activities and studying the right subject areas for each of your kids.What to Do This WeekLook at your current homeschool plan and remove one thing this week that is not serving your goals. If you don't have goals, you need to make a vision. We talked about that in an earlier episode. If you want to raise your kids to be leaders, you've got to have a vision for your homeschool.And I want you to know — all three of my kids are in their 30s now, and they all love learning. I think a lot of it has to do with the foundation we gave them in their homeschool.That is exactly what Raising Leaders, Not Followers gives you — a way to make wise and purposeful decisions for your upcoming year, for each of your kids. It helps your kids make wise decisions too. It gives your kids an elite education for life so that they can think critically, make wise decisions, have a love for learning, and have a foundation of character.If you have any questions, let me know. It's not for everyone all the time — but it is for the mom or dad who wants to raise their kids with purpose, prepared for adult life, thinking critically, making wise decisions, and loving learning for a lifetime. Come check out Raising Leaders, Not Followers — the link is in the show notes.

She earned five degrees, including a doctorate from Howard University. She taught journalism at Alabama State University for about five years. The Southern Courier offered important coverage from 1965 to 1968.“The Southern Courier didn't just report the news—it disrupted the silence,” said Hardy. “It dared to tell the truth about the South from the people living it. At Alabama Values, we carry that same spirit. We're a grassroots communications organization, using narrative to tell the stories others try to bury. Honoring the Courier is personal—it reminds us that truth-telling has always been a tool of resistance.”The Southern Courier photo archives—over 10,000 images, including iconic photos of Dr. King—were donated by Peppler to the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

Today's SWAPA Number is two because today we're sitting down and telling the stories of two pilots in our ranks that are some of the most powerful we've had the honor of sharing on this show.Midway First Officer Emanuel Prince grew up on Chicago's west side in a two-bedroom apartment with his eight siblings. While most of his friends were trying to be like Mike, Prince had his heart set on being a pilot. Despite a multitude of challenges during his childhood, Prince landed an internship with McDonald's corporate flight department and never looked back. He burned the candle at both ends for years as a Southwest ground operations employee, building time when he could, but ultimately resigned from the Company to fly for several carriers before finding himself back at Southwest in January of 2024.Baltimore First Officer Jared Savage grew up in Compton, California. He was raised by his mother and grandmother and grew up with his twin. During his senior year of high school, Jared obtained his private pilot license at the age of 18, the same year he was accepted to Tuskegee University. Unable to afford continuing his flight training, Jared worked as a lineman at Moton Field for almost a year, eventually earning enough money to complete his instrument rating. While finishing his training, he met some key figures in his life that helped him land a scholarship and proceeded to become the first flight instructor for the Red Tail Scholarship Foundation. Jared is still heavily involved with the Red Tail Flight Academy in Tuskegee, Alabama.The road to the right seat of Southwest Airlines is never easy, but these two stories of overcoming adversity and somehow managing to give back are ones we can all learn from.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at comm@swapa.org or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737
