Farewell to Chief Larry Boone

What do the cities of Nashville, Sacramento, Boston, Memphis, and Norfolk have in common? They have all hired African American police chiefs. And all of these "top cops" had a negative run-in with law enforcement in their youth. Now they, among many others, have decided to change the culture of policing from the inside, amid backlash from officers and the Black community. On one of his final interviews before leaving Hampton Roads, former Norfolk police chief Larry Boone talks about the challenges of "policing while Black"; changing the attitudes and biases of overzealous officers, while at the same time convincing Black and Brown communties that change is possible but takes time. As one police chief put it, "I'd be called a coon, a sellout, Uncle Tom by the Black community. I'd be discriminated against in many different ways by non-Black communities". So why do they do it? Chief Larry Boone shares candid insight with Another View.

Activists on both sides of the abortion debate took to the streets in protest after the leaking of a draft Supreme Court decision that could overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that made abortion legal in the United States. Pro-life proponents say overturning the decision is a victory for unborn children.

Holiday Etiquette

Last winter holiday season we were "locked in" because of Covid - spending time only with those within our "bubble". With vaccinations we are able to gather again for Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, which means planning events and minding our manners! We'll provide a refresher course on manners during this "almost over Covid pandemic". Do you still need to mask up? Do you ask for vaccination proof before allowing guests in your home? How do you handle conversations on tough issues like politics, race and religion? On the entertaining side, what are the "must haves" to be a successful host? And how do you make your home and holiday table festive? Tune in for decorating, and hosting tips from Mia Byrd, Founder and Creative Director, Byrdhouse Creative Brands; and etiquette advice from Monica Edwards, Owner and Innkeeper, Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast. Plus, Lisa Godley shares the story of one organization's efforts to prevent a nursing shortage.

Book Banning in Virginia

Fairfax County, Virginia parent Laura Murphy has been trying since 2013 to have the book "Beloved" by Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winning author Toni Morrison banned from Fairfax County Public School libraries. In 2021, another of Ms. Morrison's books, "The Bluest Eye", is the target of removal from Virginia Beach Public Schools, this time by VB School Board members Victoria Manning and Laura Hughes. "The Bluest Eye" is one of six books they want to see removed from VBPS libraries and high school curriculum, because of their racial and/or sexual content. Parental involvement in curriculum decisions in public schools became a political issue during the recent gubernatorial campaign, with incoming Governor Glenn Youngkin promising to restore the rights of parents to have a say in their child's education. So who gets to decide what children learn, and is banning books the way to achieve the goal? We take a deep dive into the issue with author, former Poet Laureate, and professor emeritus at ODU, Tim Seibles; Ph.D candidate and curriculum and award-winning community program developer, Jimmeka Anderson; and Donna Graham Elliott, Ed.D, retired high school administrator, instructional leader and English teacher in the Virginia Beach School System, who currently serves as an adjunct professor at Tidewater Community College and University Supervisor of English at the College of William and Mary.

Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month

Statistical data about education, economics, healthcare and even race often lump African Americans and Hispanic and Latinx people together - but just how well do we know each other?

Are we "black and brown together"?

How Not to be Racist: One Woman's Journey

In the book, "These Walls Between Us", we find these words: "...in the mid-1950's a young African American teenager named Mary White traveled north from Virginia to work for my family as a live-in domestic worker during our summer vacation. Mary was fifteen, I was twelve. As the Black "help" and the privileged white daughter, we were not slated for friendship." Thus begins the journey of understanding and rejection of racism by author Wendy Sanford, who grew up white, upper-class and wealthy. We talk with Ms. Sanford about her journey and why her book is an invitation for "white readers to join me in exploring our relationship to white supremacy culture".

The Role of the Church in Fighting Racism

The Christian Church - at the epicenter of racism, and the fight against it, in our country. Some experienced the Church and its teachings as a way to overcome bigotry and hatred.

In this time of racial reckoning in America, what is the role of today's Christian Church? On the next Another View, the work of one local congregation learning how to fight racism and join the journey towards racial justice.

Birth of an Answer

It was in September, 100 years ago, that the film "Birth of a Nation" opened at the Colonial Theatre in Norfolk. Birth of a Nation is still considered one of the greatest and most important American films ever made for how it influenced Hollywood's visual storytelling conventions, however, it also made popular devestating stereotypes of African Americans, particularly Black men, as foolish, dangerous, predatory and in need of being controlled or killed. On the next Another View, we'll talk about how the creative community came together to fight against these stereotypes through the arts. "Birth of an Answer" is a celebration of 100 years of African American creative responses to Birth of a Nation.

Law Enforcement from the Police Perspective

In the first 24 hours after a jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd, there were 6 fatal police shootings across the United States. All of the victims were people of color with the exception of one. The conviction of one officer did not mitigate the stark reality of police violence, particularly against black and brown people. We've heard cries for police reform, but what are police officers saying about the perceived increase in violence? What is the impact of the Chauvin verdict on police morale? What is the impact on those officers who take the oath to "protect and serve" seriously? And what is it about law enforcement that police want the community to understand? Hear a candid conversation with Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone, Chesapeake Police Chief Kelvin Wright, and Durham, North Carolina retired Police Captain and Consultant Daniel Edwards who specializes in de-escalation training for law enforcement professionals.

In a recent survey of Virginia voters conducted by students at Christopher Newport University's Wason Center for Public Policy, nearly half said that racism is still a major problem in Virginia; one in every 8 Virginians said they've worn blackface, or knows someone who has; and the majority of those surveyed said African Americans are not treated differently when voting, although a majority of African Americans and young people disagreed. We take a deep dive into the survey results and talk about what needs to happen to bring racism to an end in Virginia. Our guests are Rachel Bitecofer, PhD, Assistant Director, Wason Center for Public Policy at CNU and Colita Nichols Fairfax, PhD, Professor and Social Scientist at Norfolk State University.

Race and Eastern Virginia Medical School

In the aftermath of the racist photo displayed on Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook page, the President of EVMS has convened the EVMS Community Advisory Board (CAB) to assess the campus culture and experiences of future doctors and healthcare professionals in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion.

This assessment is seen as an opportunity to strengthen a culture of inclusiveness where differences are valued, and all students, faculty, staff and patients feel welcomed, respected and supported. We talk about the mission of the EVMS CAB, and why it is critical to have input from the community, with Chairman Gilbert Bland, CEO of the Urban League, and CAB members Delceno Miles, President/CEO of the Miles Agency, and Susan Colpitts, Founder and Chief of Client Experiences, Signature Family Wealth Advisors.

"Hello, my name is ______, and I'm a racist". That's the beginning of a Racists Anonymous meeting or RA. What is RA? It's a 12-step program that works in communities small and large, and is dedicated to "ending racism in our lifetime". According to its website, the RA program "pulls us forward as we first acknowledge that we have a problem; secondly, we accept that the problem is beyond our ability to manage; and third, we turn this problem over to the Higher Power. If we do this, we will reduce the ways we continually infect succeeding generations." So the question is, "Does it work?"

Single Mothers

According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 67% of African American households are headed by a single parent - in Virginia, 58% of black households are single parent households. The reasons are many - women who choose to be a single mom, divorce, death, incarceration of the dad, poverty...you get the picture. And while the usual stereotype of a single parent is a young women on welfare, uneducated and with no direction, the truth is that many single parents become so out of life circumstance.

On Being A Black Man In America

The murder of George Floyd, an African American man, in broad daylight at the hands of a white police officer while other officers stood by, is the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" - the result - peaceful protests, violent protests, anguish, pain, disgust, and a forced reckoning with race and racism in America. What is it about African Americans, and Black men in particular, that causes comments like, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts"? What does it say about a society where a person who is supposed to protect instead takes a life over $20? What makes a white woman think it is OK to call the police in hysteria because a Black man asked her to leash her dog? Join an open, honest, raw conversation with four accomplished, professional African American men about what it is like to be a Black man in America.

Justice...or Just Us?

According to the NAACP, one in six black men had been incarcerated as of 2001. If the current trend continues, one in three black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime. Together African Americans and Hispanics make up 58% of all prisoners in 2008, even though the two groups together comprise only one quarter of the US population. Five times as many Whites are using drugs as compared to African Americans, yet African Americans are sent to prison for drug offenses at 10 times the rate of Whites. And then there are the examples of highly publicized cases involving African American males - Central Park 5, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and the Ferguson, MO unrest, just to name a few. So what is going on with the justice system in America? Why are many in the African American community asking, "Is it justice...or just us?". On the next Another View, powerful conversation about justice in America with legal scholars Amos N. Jones, Assistant Professor of Law at the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, Campbell University; Dr. Eric Claville, Assistant Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Assistant Professor/Pre-Law Advisor for the Department of Political Science and History, Hampton University; and John Pierre, Vice Chancellor and Professor of Law, Southern University Law Center.

The Claville Report: Racism, Elitism and Realism - American Politics

Trump supporters at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina screamed chants of "send her back" as the President spoke of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is Muslim. All week President Trump has used race-baiting language to describe "the Squad" - four freshman congresswomen of color who he says "should go back to the country they came from". All of the women are American citizens. Race baiting language is not new to politics. Law and history professor Dr. Eric Claville takes us through a historical journey of race and politics and how we must learn from lessons of the past if we are to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

AV Round Table: I Love Your Hair!...or Not!

Some like it super short, others sport regally cascading curls, quirky coils, dredlocks, afros or braids. Black women have freed themselves from chemical bondage and let their natural hair fly free.

It’s become a civil rights issue for African American women and their right to wear their hair the way they choose.

AV on Health: National Minority Health Month

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.

Surviving "The Stop" (Encore Edition)

It's a "must have" conversation - especially in Black and Brown communities - how to handle yourself when stopped by the police. The "Stop" can literally be a life and death situation and "the talk" is one parents have with their children to hopefully minimize risk and danger. But is the outcome of the encounter solely on the one who is stopped, or do police also have a responsibility to make sure the stop goes well? We talk with Dwayne Bryant, author of "The Stop". His goal is to improve police and community interactions and change the narrative from fear to respect on both sides.

The Truth About Domestic Violence

Say the name "Ray Rice" and more than likely the image of violence between he and his then-fiancee Janay comes to mind. There has been a lot of talk about the NFL's response to the issue of domestic violence, but we all know domestic violence is not new - nor is it limited to sports figures. According to the Black Women's Roundtable's recent report, "Black Women in the United States, 2014", domestic violence is the leading cause of death for African American women ages 15-35. Black women comprise 8 percent of the population, yet they are 29% of domestic abuse victims and 22% of domestic violence homicide victims. African American women are two and a half times more likely to be murdered by domestic violence than white women. Domestic violence is not a racial issue, it can affect women of all economic levels, races, ethnicities and religions. However, it is impossible to ignore the impacts of racism, class, economic security and cultural differences when it comes to violence against women. On the next Another View our experts will share their experience and knowledge of domestic violence with the hope of helping women to help themselves.

AV History Lesson: Hayden High School

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 for the future with Dr. Alvin Harris with the Hayden Group, and John Skirven, CEO, Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia.

Childhood Obesity

Here are some statistics that will make you sit up and take notice: 35.9% of African American children ages 2-19 are overweight or obese, compared to 31.7% of all children those ages. 11.4% of African American children ages 2 to 5 are obese. 29.2% of African American girls, ages 12-19 are obese, compared to less than one in five Mexican American or White adolescent girls who are obese. Obesity is alarming for all children, but what is happening in the African American community that causes so many children to be overweight or obese? Is it diet? Lack of exercise? Genetics? On the next Another View we'll talk about childhood obesity - causes and prevention - with pediatrician Dr. Adayna Upchurch Burrows; physical therapist Dr. Kira Davies with CHKD's Healthy You program; and Xyla King and her grandmother Chyennesia Griffin, who changed their eating and exercise habits after Xyla showed symptoms of pre-diabetes - at 11 years old!

African American Marriage/Relationships

The statistics are startling - according to the 2010 Census, 42% of African American adults have never been married, compared to 26% of all American adults. Thirty-one percent of Black women in their 40's have never been married, compared to 9% of white women, 11% of Asian women and 12% of Hispanic women. While the marriage numbers are low, long-term relationship numbers are more favorable. So why are so few Blacks getting married? What do we need to know about ourselves before we can enter into a successful long term relationship? How do we meet "Mr or Ms Right"? What do we need to teach our sons and daughters so that they are prepared for marriage?

Another View on Health: Obesity

It's no secret - Americans are fat, and getting fatter. In the African American community, obesity has reached epidemic proportions. African Americans are disproportionately affected by heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer - and obesity is a critical factor in all of these illnesses. And there's another dynamic - culturally many African Americans celebrate being overweight using terms like a "thick," "meat on their bones," or "phat." On the next Another View on Health we talk about overcoming obesity with Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, and Caren D. Beasley, M.D., Clinical Director of the Medical Weight Loss Program with Sentara Comprehensive Weight Loss Solutions.

AV on Health: HBCU Binge Drinking

The perception is that college binge drinking is a "white college issue" and not really of concern at historically black colleges and universities (HBCU)...but the truth is binge drinking is problematic no matter the racial makeup of the student population. According to a study of student behavior by the Century Council, 54% of full-time HBCU students who drink engage in binge drinking, compared to 64% of students at predominately white schools. The difference is in the way the binge drinking occurs. On the next Another View on Health, we'll explore the dangers of binge drinking with guest host, cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, and emergency room physician Dr. Clarence Clarke.

Incarceration and the African American Family

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.

The Mythology of Being African American

What does it mean to be African American? Does it mean that Black people are poor, unintelligent, lazy, criminal, incapable of raising a family?

That all Black women are angry and all Black men are worthless?

AV on Health: Sociology and Your Health

The title of this week's show may sound academic, but consider this - what we do as a society to interact with each other can and does affect our health. For example, if your doctor is not culturally competent, will he/she really understand that it's hard for you to eat fresh fruit and veggies on a daily basis because you may live in a food desert? What role does bias play for both the patient and healthcare professional during a medical visit? And what about technology in the healthcare field? What impact might electronic medical records have on your ability to receive proper care? We'll talk about these issues with Gary David,Ph.D., Associate Professor of Sociology at Bentley University, and President, Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology and cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, Friday, September 28 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM

AV Round Table: Colorism

In America, it happened with slavery - the lighter the skin of a black person, the "better" the job on the plantation. Blacks with dark skin worked the fields. Blacks with lighter skin worked in the house. House slaves vs. field slaves. The stigma continues within the African American community today, although many are loathe to talk about it. The name of it is "colorism" - prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. Colorism is in the news today with the birth of Prince Harry and Megan Markle's mixed race son. This is a global issue and we about it with pundits Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Carol Pretlow, Allison Moore and William Brown.

Restoring Your Rights

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.

Surviving "The Stop"

It's a "must have" conversation - especially in Black and Brown communities - how to handle yourself when stopped by the police. The "Stop" can literally be a life and death situation and "the talk" is one parents have with their children to hopefully minimize risk and danger. But is the outcome of the encounter solely on the one who is stopped, or do police also have a responsibility to make sure the stop goes well? We talk with Dwayne Bryant, author of "The Stop". His goal is to improve police and community interactions and change the narrative from fear to respect on both sides.

The Soul of Philanthropy

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.

In her book, Dr. Harvey implored white people to have authentic conversations with their children about race to teach them how to address racism and help them to be mindful of racial relations while understanding their own identity and the role they can play for justice. Our Round Table pundits take on this same issue from an African American perspective. What were our pundits taught about race at home, in church, in school? Did they pass along those same messages to their children, or did they teach them something different?

Excellence Through Equity: An Update

Last year education leaders throughout Eastern Virginia took a hard look at the way our students are being educated. They realized that equality in schools - providing the same for everyone - only works when students are all in the same place and need the same things to succeed.

On the next Another View, we'll get an update on "Excellence Through Equity".

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!

It's called "Actively Caring for People Policing" - or AC4P - a new way to build positive police/citizen relations. AC4P uses proven principles from applied behavioral science to change the dynamic between citizen and police officer, resulting in positive behavioral reinforcement instead of negative consequences to affect change. The goal is to create community where police and citizen alike actively care about each other and in fact, are each other's keeper. On the next Another View, Bobby Kipper, founder and director of the National Center for the Prevention of Community Violence , and co-author of the police training manual, "Actively Caring for People Policing", explains how this new way of policing decreases violence and increases trust between the community and the men and women in blue.

AV on Health: African American Adolescent Suicide

Generally speaking, the African American community considers suicide a "white persons' issue" - that it doesn't happen that often in the black community. The fact is suicide knows no race - and for adolescents, it's the third leading cause of death after accidents and homicides. And now, a recent study has found that suicide rates for black children - ages 5-12 - is twice that of white children. Why are such young children taking their own lives? And more importantly, what are the warning signs? What do parents and caretakers need to do to prevent suicide from happening? We discuss this critical issue with Narketta Sparkman-Key, Ph.D, Associate Professor and Assistant Chair of Counseling and Human Services, Old Dominion University. Dr. Key specializes in adolescent suicide and brings practical advice to all who interact with children.

Is Christianity the White Man's Religion?

The novel coronavirus pandemic, massive unemployment and racial unrest with the murder of George Floyd has caused some Christians to question their faith and ask the question, "Where is God in all of this?" This is not a new question, and actually follows an emerging trend in the African American community that perhaps Christianity is not the "right" religion for Black people, that the Bible speaks more to slavery and subservience than liberation and empowerment. We talk with theologian, ordained minister and President and Dean of Jakes Divinity School, Dr. Antipas Harris, author of "Is Christianity the White Man's Religion? How the Bible is Good News for People of Color". Dr. Harris talks candidly about the perception that Christianity is detached from matters of justice, identity, and culture. He also looks at the ways in which American evangelicalism may have incubated the race problem.

The 60's were a turbulent time, not only in the big cities of our nation, but also in our rural communities. Racism was rampant and Blacks learned to "stay in their place".

We will explore a consequence of segregation rarely discussed outside the Black community - how segregation caused African Americans to turn against each other!

The Search for African American Teachers

"You can't be what you don't see"...that is a quote from America's first African American Surgeon General, Dr. Joycelyn Elders. She was talking about role models, and the opportunity for African American children to dream big and set high career goals because they see others who "look like them" being successful in their chosen career. It starts in the classroom where oftentimes, particularly in urban schools, students are taught and mentored by those who do not "look like them", expecially when it comes to African American males. On the next Another View we'll talk about a unique program that wants to change that dynamic - it's ODU's Teacher Immersion Residency Program, where one of the goals is to inspire the next generation of African Americans to careers as educators.

Race: Let's Talk About It - When Silence Speaks Volumes

In the wake of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, many have engaged in conversations about race and racism, especially those who truly believed America was a "post-racial" society.

We begin our Race: Let's Talk About It conversation: When Silence Speaks Volumes. How does silence actually perpetuate racism and racist actions? What is the right way to talk about such a sensitive subject? How do well meaning people keep racist actions "alive" through behaviors called microaggressions? Who's responsibility is it to speak up and call out racist actions? Panelists Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Historian and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Norfolk State University; Dr. Eric Claville, Director of the Center for African American Public Policy at Norfolk State University; and Veronica Gallardo - Casemate Museum Operations and Collections Manager, Fort Monroe Authority, and Jonathan Zur, President/CEO of the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities speak candidly about these issues.We invite you to join our conversation at noon on Another View - and then again at 6:30 PM for our virtual Race: Let's Talk About It Town Hall.

Help for High School Dropouts

There is a lot of emphasis placed on keeping kids in school and on track to graduate with their class...yet every 26 seconds a teen decides to drop out of high school.

On the next Another View, we'll talk about two alternative programs designed to help kids get back on track and become productive citizens. We'll talk with Luther Boykin and Elijah Charles of Commomwealth Challenge; and Mike Bonfiglio and Anthony Lowery with Point Option - programs with very different approaches yet the same goal - to help high school drop outs get an education.

Coronavirus Pandemic Update: Our Children's Mental Health

The coronavirus pandemic means staying at home - which translates to kids as not going back to class until September, online learning, no play dates and being stuck in the house with their annoying brother or sister or parents! Most children are resilient and will make it through this time just fine. But there are other kids who may not fare as well. They are feeling the financial pressure from their parents who may have been laid off. They may not have access to the internet and cannot participate in on-line learning. School may have been their safe haven from a dysfunctional family. How are they to cope? We talk about our children's mental health during the pandemic. Psychiatrist Dr. Pat King will share warning signs of depression and other mental illness and provide guidance to parents on how to maintain a healthy home environment for our young people. And we talk with one young man who turned his coronavirus frustration into song!

"The Talk" - From a Police Perspective

There is no question - tensions abound between many young people, particularly African American males - and the police. Nationwide we see the results - Missouri, Florida, California, even here in Hampton Roads there have been highly publicized confrontations - and some of them come to a deadly end.

But what about the police side of the story? Are they overreacting because of misplaced fear? Are there racial overtones to every police stop? What are police doing to make sure their ranks represent the community?

AIDS and the African American Community

Three decades after the AIDS virus was first reported among gay white men, nearly half of the one million people in this country infected with HIV are black men, women and children!

We'll also talk to Marvelyn, a popular star athlete who contracted AIDS as a teenager from her boyfriend. She says she was totally ignorant and feels let down by her home, school and community.
