<DIV><B>The Richard Brown</B> <B>Show</B> is a progressive African-American radio voice for all of North Carolina.&nbsp; The show provides dialogue and tools to the community that will move us closer to solutions.<BR>&nbsp;<BR>It features the voices of everyday North Carolinians.&nbsp; The radio show is a venue for dialogue about race, education, financial literacy, health care, and other issues.&nbsp; The goal is to develop a collective understanding of people's real life problems and identify tools to help people take action.&nbsp; It develops issues in a narrative format, and provides a sense of how these issues are affecting people.&nbsp; <BR>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>It is aired on WCOM 103.5 FM in Carrboro, N.C. every Monday at 9:00 am.</DIV>
<DIV><BR><B>Next show</B></DIV>
<DIV>We will continue our conversation about Black Art and our internal struggles, in particular slavery.&nbsp; Most of the pictures and poems concerning slavery are not from the perspective of our ancestors in bondage and their humanity.&nbsp; Why has this voice not been heard and/or understood, by us, the children of slaves?&nbsp; Perhaps this topic still carries so much hurt for most African Americans that it is not something that we wish to visit often or at all. Yet, this important historical time in American history is a critical lens to understand ourselves.&nbsp; Titus Heagins and Jackie Sheldon- Green have provided us with two mediums to begin this conversation anew.&nbsp; Their work shares the complex life that African Americans faced within the institution of slavery and how our ancestry navigated this very unique American system.&nbsp; Titus’s photography depicts people’s daily lives. Jackie Sheldon-Green’s prose fleshes out the mental and emotional picture and grounds the onlooker in how we lived…&nbsp;&nbsp; The exhibit is on display at the North Carolina Central Art museum until October 21, 2005. &nbsp;We will talk with them about their work and our struggle to give voice to the various emotions that it invokes.&nbsp; Email me questions you have for our guests.&nbsp;&nbsp; As always, we invite you to join us via the phone or email.</DIV>

<DIV>&nbsp;<I>Paradigm:</I></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We must be about the business of creating more space for honest, safe and open dialog about race.&nbsp; Not making statements that create fear about others of a different race.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We must begin to give ourselves other reference points to evaluate ourselves and the community in which we live</DIV>
