Another View The Radio Show Podcast

Technical issues prevent us from bringing you an Another View program this week. We bring you an encore edition of Another View - Confederate Statues. In the idyllic town of Edenton, North Carolina there is controversy over whether the confederate statue that stands in front of the town council building and the visitor's center in downtown Edenton should stay or be moved to a different location. The issue is so contentious that a lawsuit has been filed and some townspeople are protesting. We take you live to Edenton, North Carolina to hear both sides of the issue. We also have an update from the city of Edenton -- as of March 14th, town leaders agreed to move the statue from the Edenton's historic waterfront to Hollowell Park, on the western edge of town. A coalition of groups that wanted the statue to remain in place have sued the town of Edenton.

We have a conversation with Sharon Campbell Waters, Ph.D. about her experiences of being at the heart of changing the soul of America.

Who gets to decide what and how children and young adults of all races and ethnicities learn about African American history? Why is this history considered controversial and "unnecessary"?

According to popular perception and negative media coverage, most Black women are single mothers who have never married, Black men are simply "baby makers", and there are no real relationships within the Black community.

We explore ways to defy the stereotypes and get on the road to true connection with relationship expert Dr. Alvean Lyons.

For 30 years Congressman Bobby Scott has represented the citizens of Virginia's third congressional district.

And why are Black children disproportionately prescribed these medications? On Another View on Health, we have an open discussion about overmedicating our kids. Our guests include Dr. Gretchen LeFever Watson, Clinical and Pediatric Psychologist; and Sade Daniels, Managing Training Director, California Youth Connection.
