ZaKhari Waddy was 13 years old when he wrote a letter crying out for help from boys who constantly bullied him at school. Dejah Jones sadly took her own life as a result of bullying. According to a recent study, Black and Latino students are academically harmed when they fall victim to bullying. Children are being bullied on a daily basis, and everyone looks to the schools for a solution - but what can we as a community do about it? On the next Another View we'll talk about bullying - what it is, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to stop it. Our guests include Zettrona Powell, parent of a bullied child; Karen Eure Wilson, President, Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals and a parent of a bullied child; Dr. Ernestine Duncan, Psychology Professor, Norfolk State University and Jonathan Zur, Dr. Ernestine Duncan, Psychology Professor, Norfolk State University and President and CEO, Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities.

Governor McAuliffe restores voting rights to thousands of ex-offenders through executive order...a wave of shootings in Norfolk, including those involving police...and comedian Larry Wilmore uses the "N" word when referring to the President - just some of the topics to be discussed during this May edition of the Another View Round Table. Roger Chesley, Columnist, NSU professor Carol Pretlow, community activist Bill Thomas, and author, journalist and talk show host Wil LaVeist share wit, wisdom and insight into these and other issues facing our community, our nation and our world.

One of the criticisms of President Obama is that as the first African American president he"has not done enough for the Black community". It's a complaint made about many African American politicians, regardless of office, and particularly when it comes to improving the economic issues facing the Black community, such as unemployment, low property ownership, and slow entrepreneurial growth. On this special edition of Another View, we will explore the intersection of economics and politics, with Dr. Eric Claville, Assistant Professor and Director of the Hampton University Pre-Law Institute, and the co-host of the" Claville Report: Policy, Law and Politics", along with guest Allison Jones, Assistant VP for Virginia Governmental Relations with McGuire Woods.

We all know the obvious signs of child abuse when we see it...whelps from harse beatings, cigarette burns, starvation, a filthy living environment. But what about the subtle things...a disciplinary smack on the bottom, or yelling at your child when he/she does something wrong...is that also child abuse? And why is it that African American children are almost twice as likely to suffer from abuse than white children? On the next Another View we'll get some answers from Dr. Michelle Clayton, a child abuse expert with CHKD, and Natasha Knight, a child advocate with Portsmouth CASA. Plus, Lisa Godley tells the story of artist and comic book creator Kevin Roberts!

Chief Tonya Chapman is the new police chief in the city of Portsmouth. She's the first African American woman to hold the position.

Young African American men dying at the hands of white police officers. White police officers gunned down by African American men. Protests in the streets - the rallying cry, "Black Lives Matter"! Opinion polls stating the racial divide in America is growing. With this social unrest as the backdrop, Another View, along with our partners, the Virginia Wesleyan College Center for Religious Studies, and the Fort Monroe Foundation, will launch a new community initiative called "Race: Let's Talk About It".

The second topic in our Race: Let's Talk About It initiative addresses the controversial issue of "white privilege" - defined as "any advantage that is unearned, exclusive and socially conferred"

In our continuing efforts to educate our listeners about the process of politics and policy, we've started something new. It's called "The Claville Report: Policy, Law and Politics"

What does it mean to be African American? Does it mean that Black people are poor, unintelligent, lazy, criminal, incapable of raising a family? Does it mean, as is suggested in a recent Washington Post article, that Blacks feel pain differently than Whites, therefore are treated differently by medical personnel? Does it mean that genetically African Americans are superior in muscle mass and coordination, able to play sports better than those of other races? That all Black women are angry and all Black men are worthless? On the next Another View, we'll talk about some of the prevailing myths about being Black in America, myths that unfortunately continue to strengthen during this political season, with our Round Table pundits, Roger Chesley, Columnist, Virginian-Pilot; Carol Pretlow, Political Science Professor, Norfolk State University, Bill Thomas, Community Activist; and guest pundit Delceno Miles, Owner, The Miles Agency.

The late Maurice White, lead singer of musical giant Earth, Wind and Fire, was diagnosed in 1992 with Parkinson's Disease. Muhammad Ali was diagnosed in 1984 and continues to live with this disease that has no cure. These are two prominent African Americans struck by Parkinson's - a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors, and often goes undiagnosed for years after its onslaught. Today there is no cure for Parkinson's, but there are medications to help with the symptoms and research to find answers about the disease. On the next Another View on Health, we'll talk about Parkinson's Disease with neurologist Dr. Carmen Fuentes, who specializes in treatment of the disease, along with Larry Dumville, a retired attorney with Parkinson's, and Don Bradway, Chair of the Advisory Board for American Parkinson's Disease Association, Hampton Roads.

On the next Another View we talk with journalist Erin Aubry Kaplan, author of "I Heart Obama". In her book, Kaplan discusses five distinct ways of looking at President Obama - as a modern-day black folk hero; how African Americans have made images of Obama into distinct historical and pop-culture iconography; the complicated matter of Obama as a black leader and how he fits (or not) into the tradition of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King; who President Obama is at heart; and finally the possibility that the whole phenomenon of "Obama, the first black U.S. President" has been a massive distraction to grass roots struggles around racial issues.

You break the law and are convicted of a felony. You are sentenced and serve your time in prison. You are released. You find a job and re-engage in society. You are a full citizen....or are you? On election day 2016 1.4 million African American men, that's more than 1 in 8, will be unable to vote because of state laws that deny felons the right to vote. In Virginia, 25% of otherwise eligible Black men cannot vote. However, there is movement afoot in Virginia and other states to restore full citizenship, including the right to vote, to former felons. Joining us to talk about it is Levar M. Stoney, Secretary of the Commonwealth; Amos Jones, Associate Professor of Law, Campbell Law School and Corey Brooks, Director of Business Development and Community Affairs with Youth Solutions. Plus Lisa Godley brings us a profile of actress Angela Bassett. It's all on Another View, Friday, March 4 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

But you still have pain - now what do you do? How hard do you push for additional testing? What are the proper procedures that you should ask about? Just how do you diagnose heart disease anyway? On the next Another View on Health, Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby joins us with answers to these and other questions you have about heart health. Plus, Lisa Godley shares the history of the Hunton YMCA as part of our celebration of Black History Month.
