In America, roughly 50% of all African Americans are obese, and 30% of all Caucasians are obese. Losing weight is hard, and bariatric surgery is now recognized as a sucessful treatment to lose weight and prevent serious complications of obesity like high blood pressure and diabetes. Yet according to a recent study, more Whites than African Americans take advantage of this weight loss option, citing lack of insurance and cultural differences as possible reasons why. On the next Another View on Health we'll discuss the pros and cons of bariatric surgery with David Salzberg, M.D, Director of Riverside Weight Loss Center. Join host Barbara Hamm Lee, along with co-host cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby for Another View on Health, Friday June 26 at NOON on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

What would cause Dylann Storm Roof to enter Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, sit with the pastor and members of a bible study group for an hour and then open fire killing 9 people?

Our guests include Kay Wright Lewis, PhD, Assistant Professor of African American History at Norfolk State University; Eric Claville, PhD, History and Political Science Professor at Hampton University; Stacie Otey-Scott, PsyD, Clinical Psychologist; and Reverend Melvin Cotton, Pastor of New Genesis Baptist Church.

After the riots ended in Baltimore in late April, a strange thing happened - Baltimore City Police apparently stopped policing. In fact, the month of May was the most lethal month in the city in more than 40 years, according to the Washington Post, with 32 shootings and 9 homicides over the Memorial Day weekend alone. Arrests are down more than 50% since the civil unrest - and according to at least one officer, "After the protests, it seems like the citizens would appreciate a lack of police presence, and that's exactly what they're getting". Police Commissioner Anthony Batts says his officers feel confused and unsupported following the charges filed against the six officers in the Freddie Gray case. On the next Another View we continue our discussion on the relationship between the police and the African American community with Virginian-Pilot columnist, Roger Chesley; NSU political science professor Carol Pretlow; community activist, Bill Thomas; and journalist, author and talk show host Wil LaVeist.

If one solely relied on media reports, it would be easy to believe that African American fathers are deadbeat dads who are not married or in committed relationships, and do not take care of their children. The truth is far from conventional wisdom. On the next Another View we talk with relationship expert Alvean Lyons about Black fathers and the critical role they play in raising their children. We will dispel the myth that Black fathers don't care.

Described as the "New Negro Movement" and the "flowering of Negro literature", the Harlem Renaissance was the name of the cultural, social and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem between 1917 and 1935. Black writers, scholars, artists, musicians, photographers and poets flocked to Harlem where they could freely express themselves. But it was more than a literary movement...it was also a time of racial pride. On the next Another View poets and authors Tim Seibles, Remica Bingham and Shonda Buchanan give us a history lesson on the Harlem Renaissance and share the similarities between African American artists then and today.

April is "Minority Health Month" - and also the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of "The Report of the Secretary's Task Force on Black and Minority Health", also known as the "Heckler Report". This groundbreaking report was the first time the US government convened a group of health experts to conduct a comprehensive study of the health status of minorities in this country. As a result of this report, additional studies were done, such as the Jackson Heart Study that explored disparties in cardiovascular health and the Healthy Start program that brought infant mortality prevention to underserved communities. In addition, national standards were set to give guidance to health care workers on how to provide respectful and responsive services to minority patients. On the next Another View we'll examine the health issues that still plague African Americans, including obesity which is the driving force behind almost all diseases prevalent in the Black community.
