For as far as race relations in America have come, clearly there is much more work to do as evidenced by the highly publicized comments made by LA Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, and Nevada rancher, Cliven Bundy, about African Americans and other minorities. Both of these gentlemen are senior citizens, so will this racial attitude prevail until the senior generation passes on? The Another View Round Table pundits share their views on changing racial attitudes. Join Carol Pretlow, Bill Thomas, Wil LaVeist and guest pundit Tim Seibles for insightful conversation on the next Another View, Friday, May 9, 2014 at NOON on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!

Hampton Roads is home to 108,000 active duty military personnel, and 178,000 veterans. As the wars in Iraq and Afganistan wind down, the numbers of veterans are increasing, and they need special services to help them successfully re-enter civilian society. Through the community engagement efforts of WHRO's Center for Regional Citizenship, WHRO/WHRV is embarking on a multi-year veterans initiative that will highlight the struggles and triumphs of returning military, as well as serve as a connection point between service providers and those who need help. Our efforts begin with a three part series called "Coming Back with Wes Moore" which will air on WHRO-TV 15, Tuesdays in May. On the next Another View we'll share highlights of the series and talk with Christopher Justice, a Navy veteran and addiction therapist, Jaren Hawkins, an Army veteran, former combat engineer and student at ODU, and Yennetta Taylor, an Airforce veteran and student at ODU about their struggles and successes in coming back to America

Here is a scary fact: Smoking causes more deaths in the US each year than AIDS, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, homicide, suicide, motor vehicle crashes and fires - combined! Yet 23% of African American males smoke, and 15% of African American females smoke. We all know that smoking is addictive and leads to all kinds of health issues, yet cigarettes are still sold, people still buy them, and tobacco companies continue to bombard the community, particularly the African American community, with cigarette ads. Why does this happen? On the next Another View we'll talk about smoking, the harmful effects, and examine just how well cessation programs work. Join host Barbara Hamm Lee, along with guest host, Dr. Keith Newby for critical information that could literally save your life! Plus Lisa Godley brings us the inspiring music of Dr. Adolphus Hailstork. It's all on Another View, Friday, April 25 at NOON on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us live on this blog!

Violence is a part of the American culture. Just last month, two people were gunned down in a mall in Maryland, and the suspected shooter then killed himself. Violence is glorified in song, movies, books and video games. When is enough, enough? That's the question put to the American people in a manifesto entitled "Changing the Culture of Violence In America", submitted by a national civic network called Black Women for Positive Change (BW4PC). On the next Another View we'll talk with Dr. Stephanie Myers, Ruth Marshall, Bernadette Tolson and Daun Hester, all members of BW4PC, about their efforts to stop the violence and make our neighborhoods safe.

We know the stats - out of every three African American children, two of them will grow up without their father. Children absent their fathers are more likely to be poor, use drugs, and engage in criminal behavior. But what about the one who grows up with his/her father? What happens to that child, and by extension, our society? On the next Another View we focus on positive fatherhood with Leslie Gordon and William Middlebrooks, authors of "Dare to be Extraordinary - a Collection of Positive Life Lessons from African American Fathers". Plus, Lisa Godley tells us about African American literary works and the unique connection to America's labor market.

2011 was the first year of significant decline in foreclosures since the housing collapse in 2007 - that's the good news. The not-so-good news is that foreclosures of sub-prime mortages, marketed heavily to minoritiies, continue to rise. In fact, according to a report by Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME), "...minority neighborhoods throughout the Commonwealth have experienced up to five times as many foreclosures as non-minority neighborhoods". On the next Another View we'll talk with President and CEO of HOME, Heather Crislip, about housing disparity and discrimination in Virginia and what HOME is doing to fulfill its mission to "ensure equal access to housing for all people".

African American. Black. Afro-American. Negro. Colored. The "N" word. So many names to describe the second largest minority group in this country. So why are there so many names for African-Americans? What does it say about race and culture? What does it mean in terms of ethnic pride? And how do the names get started in the first place?
