Another View The Radio Show Podcast

50 years ago it was the most popular place African Americans on the Eastern Shore could go to hear good music, eat good food and fellowship without fear or violence. It's called Gidden's Do Drop Inn and today is one of the oldest continually owned and operated African American businesses on the Eastern Shore. On the next Another View we broadcast LIVE from the Barrier Island Center and meet the folks behind the Do Drop Inn who keep it going today, including Jane Cabarrus, Owner; Janice Langley, former bartender and now a volunteer; Joan Wilson, whose family provided the juke box which still works today; and singer Black Elvis who has his own corner in this historic hall. Funding provided by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.

Despite the perception to the contrary, African Americans are philanthropic - in fact, Blacks give more than 8% of their discretionary income to charity, more than any other racial group in America. Blacks donate 25% more of discretionary income than their white counterparts and nearly two-thirds of African American households give formally to charities to the tune of more than $11 billion per year. So why is the Black community perceived as a "taker" of charity rather than "giver"? On the next Another View we'll talk about African American philanthropy with Valaida Fullwood, author of "Giving Back: A Tribute to Generations of African American Philanthropists", Vivian Oden, Director of Donor Services with the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, and Nicole Cleveland, Annual Fund Officer for WHRO Public Media.

The Washington Post recently ran an article about two factory workers who were the only white people...all the rest of the workers were Latino. They talked about how isolated they felt, wondered why the Latinos were not forced to speak English, and what life will be like for white people as the country increasingly becomes more black and brown. On the next Another View Round Table we will examine the role of blacks in helping whites adjust to a new normal. Our Round Table pundits this month include Tim Seibles, Poet Laureate; Daun Hester, Norfolk Treasurer; Bill Thomas, Community Activist; and a new voice on Another View, Butch Bracknell, Attorney. Join us for the next Another View, Friday, August 10 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

From 1953 until 1970 Hayden High School was the only place for African American high schoolers to get an education - despite the ending of segregated schools in 1954. The school was named for education pioneer Della Hayden, daughter of a freed slave who graduated from Hampton Institute, taught in Franklin public schools for years before going on to become the first female principal at State Normal School (now Virginia State University); returned to Franklin and ultimately founded a small boarding school for Black girls, where she served as principal until her death in 1924. Living up to the rich history of its namesake, Hayden High School graduated some of the most prominent African Americans in Franklin. The building was approved in December 2012 for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register by the Board of Historic Resources and was placed on the National Park Service National Register of Historic Places in 2013. On the next Another View, we'll talk about the history of Hayden High, its legacy and plans f

Throughout the month of July, Another View has dedicated part of each broadcast to an issue rarely discussed in the Black community, mental illness. We’ve encouraged you to talk about it, seek treatment and dismiss the stigmas that keep so many from getting help. On the next Another View on Health we’ll hear what millennials are saying and doing to address this so-often-ignored problem. Our guests include Whitney Graham, who fought depression for 25 years; Jordan Yowell, College Student/Actor, "Reframe the Shame"; and licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Angela Jones. Plus, Lisa Godley introduces us to Hampton Roads artist Elgina McCrary, whose work will draw you in with her unique use of colors and textures.

What role does the FBI play in protecting our civil rights? When do they get involved with local police use of force cases?

On the next Another View, we talk with Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Theodore Roese about the FBI's Civil Rights program and how you can make a difference in keeping our communities safe.

One in three black men can expect to spend some time in prison during his lifetime. Compounding the problem is that African American men receive sentences that are 20 to 50 times longer than white men for the same crime. And for women there is no difference - Black women are more likely to be jailed than any other ethnic group. So what happens to the family when a loved one is incarcerated? What about the children? And when that person gets out, then what? On the next Another View we talk frankly about incarceration and the African American family. Our guests include Dr. Melvin Cotton, former inmate, youth mentor and Senior Pastor of New Genesis Baptist Church; and Quniana Futrell, CEO, Building Resilience in Communities, and author of "Our Moms", a book for children of incarcerated parents.

African American men are more likely to suffer from anxiety, PTSD and depression than other men yet are less likely to seek help. Part of the problem is the stigma of mental illness in the Black community. June is National Mens Health Month, and on the next Another View on Health we explore the issue of Black men and mental wellness. Our guest is Kevin Childs, Counselor and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who works with men to empower them to confront and overcome their mental health issues without fear or shame. Cardiologist and co-host Dr. Keith Newby also joins the conversation on the next Another View on Health!

A lot has happened in the news since the Another View Round Table got together: Starbucks, Roseanne, the NFL on taking a knee, the Eagles uninvited to the White House, and Medicaid expansion in Virginia. All of these topics are either specifically about race or carry a racial undertone. Our pundits, Amos Jones, Bill Thomas, and William R. Brown, talk about race in America and why it matters…or doesn’t!

The beginning of African American contributions to this nation began in 1619 right here in Virginia, specifically at Fort Monroe in Hampton, where the first Africans to English North America arrived.
