Black History Month Has Ended - Our Learning Continues

No Hate In Our States

This inaugural podcast on the Future of Black History Month series asks how it began and what it can be. Producer Veralyn Williams leads a lively conversation about her annual Black History Month parties - before COVID-19 social distancing was imposed - with some friends of the show.

Then, Dr. Pero Dagbovie, a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of History and an Associate Dean in the Graduate School at Michigan State University, introduces us to Dr. Carter G. Woodson - often called the “Father of Black History” - before explaining how a week-long celebration of Black Achievement at the turn of the 20th century evolved into the month-long observance that we know today.

No Hate In Our States - 1619 Project

2/25/2021

Listen for Yourself - "1619 Project"
Online

You may remember several months ago, we shared a link to the New York Times Pulitzer Prize winning "1619 Project." You may also have heard of a bill recently introduced into the Iowa State Legislature (Rep. Skyler Wheeler, R, Orange County) to reduce funding for any school using the curriculum associated with "1619 Project."

It should also be stated that this project was created by Iowa native Nikole Hannah-Jones who won a Pulitzer Prize for her work.

Rep. Wheeler believes the "1619 Project" is designed to "tear down America."
