Morton Klein: Biden Administration Is Redefining 'Antisemitism'
"The United States came out just a few hours ago With their program of how to fight Jew hatred anti semitism Instead of using the normal respected accepted definition for anti semitism called the Ira definition Instead added to it as a valuable tool to other definitions by nexus and others these other definitions that they're now promoting as valuable and important say if you oppose the Jewish State of Israel it's a very existence That's okay That's not anti semitic If you treat Israel differently from any other country that's not anti semitic At all which means the United Nations for example which has overwhelming number of critical criticisms of countries overwhelmingly it's against Israel But that wouldn't be as I said this is according to the new definition of Biden When a journalist is killed in Israel embedded journalists journalists are killed in more situations all the time No country has ever condemned for it It happens When Israel has a journalist killed the whole world starts condemning Israel which of course is anti semitism They're being treated differently So this report allows the George Soros the anti Israel politicians to no longer be allowed to be called anti semitic that allows the campus programs on college campuses that promotes boycotting in Israel Now it's no longer an antisemitism So we can't fight him as readily This is a very dangerous definition that he's put out And it's interesting He put it out two hours before this very holy day tonight culture viewers

Brace Yourself for A 700K Invasion As Title 42 Ends
"Much stuff to get to, I don't know if we can get to it all. But the biggest things are tonight at midnight title 42 ends, it is the really last remaining immigration enforcement protocol that is doing any good in this country at the moment. And we become wide open, even more so than we already are to the first world. The second world, the third world, whichever is your favorite world, if there's a fourth world, they can come up to. And the invasion could be to the tune of 700,000 people, perhaps, according to some estimates, and you should just say, it won't go up from there. We're already going to see a record in flux this year to beat last year's record to beat the record from the year before. And if there's a silver lining perhaps, perhaps, maybe we can raise awareness about this issue, which is still the biggest issue facing this country in my viewpoint, and it has been since Donald Trump came down that escalator in 2015.

How Trump Dominated CNN and an Immigration Pearl Harbor
"Day today. And I'm very tempted, and I was debating with the producers a little bit about this. I'm very tempted to get right into president Trump doing windmill 360 dunks on CNN all night, which was a delight anyone with half a sense of humor probably had the best news day of the year yesterday doing that. But it is a huge day and a negative sense. Because tonight, as we heard in the intro, at midnight, it is the end of title 42 title 42 is the thinnest veil of border security that we have in this country. We have very little, but it begins with title 42, which actually comes from the CDC's authority. Now why is that? It's a tool to remove migrants and send them back to their nation's country in the name of public health. Now, this applied during the pandemic, but shouldn't this apply all the time? Isn't this just about the best possible reason to have a border? To keep people out who are perhaps unhealthy, perhaps bringing drugs, perhaps bringing disease, it in fact is one of the main functions of a border in a sane society, and it's probably why just about every country on earth has a border. In fact, we're fighting a border war right now, just so happens to be in Ukraine against the Russians. But our own border, we're going to be letting it wide open more so than it already is. So

AOC Slams CNN Over Trump Town Hall
"Check out headlines from the left. Look at these headlines. Daily Beast, CNN failed America with its train wreck of a Trump town hall. Rolling Stone, effing disgrace, CNN gifts Trump, a prime time campaign rally. How about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holy mole to see her? She went on TV last night, she was furious. They weren't even going to talk about it. In fact, she said that on MSNBC because I know you weren't going to talk about here's AOC last night whining about the town hall. You know, I know you said earlier that you will not comment on the platforming of such atrocious disinformation, but I would. I think it was a profoundly irresponsible decision. I don't think that it would, I would be doing my job if I did not say that. And what we saw tonight was a series of extremely irresponsible decisions that put a sexual abuse victim at risk that put that person at risk in front of a national audience and I could not have disagreed with it more. It was shameful. Shameful, shame CNN, shame. And like I always say, give credit where credit is due, CNN didn't have to do it.

As of september first and heather You mentioned it but do we know how the eviction banned these past. Seventeen months has affected landlords and other housing providers.

"The united states uses life expectancy to gaze the quality of your life so if we can do that around the world obviously we should be doing that in chicago and we have now been able to get the unfortunate pre covet data for life expectancy as you stated earlier. When you first came on well any are in the report. Your team says the information is especially relevant. Now you write quote underfunded community hospitals and clinics lower wage jobs that do not allow teleworking unstable or crowded housing limited grocery store access and lack of technology for students are causing blacks in black communities to be adversely impacted. This deadly virus blair. This report is based on data. As i just mentioned this is from before the pandemic would you expect that cove in nineteen has only widened. This life expectancy gap. Yes so we. We know from the kobe. Jada that blacks chicagoans have been more disproportionately affected i covet. Covert mortality compared to non blacks chicagoans. And that's for a variety of reasons. Some of that being like crime diseases. That blacks chicagoans tend to have more compared to other race ethnicity groups. So yes we would take that. The gap has potentially even widen after the mets of nineteen report. Like to add one thing to that not only has widened in chicago. It actually has widened in from the national perspective the gap for blacks ver- in the national from cdc. They just released their report out for twenty. Twenty life expectancy is over six point. Five years the difference so no matter if we're national or for local blacks are not living or their life expectancy is worse is compared to others so as as you all have just mentioned a couple of times. The report identified five. Main drivers of the disparity in lifing life expectancy they include chronic diseases homicide infant mortality hiv flu and other infections and opioid overdose. Blair back to you. What disparities stood out to you in your research I think really all of them. And one that has a large one of the largest effects diseases and there's so many things that play into potentially why the chronic diseases are higher among blacks chicag- lines as compared to the rest of chicago lines. That could be access to healthy fruits and vegetables safe communities resources access to doctors. All those things really pay a wide range into why recede all of these disparities across the board and y'all we all know that last week. The mayor and cd declared racism as a public health crisis. Why is it important to name it. This way absolutely. You can't fix what you can't name and if you don't name it you can't start to work on it. We have to look at not just naming it though. And i am so grateful that the this mayor was able to do that. And we're calling in a public of crisis because your health is at risk is we'd stay you know. This is about the improvement the health equity of your health and your life and living so we know that we have to talk about calling to action so we can get those racism and attack it head on and let me be clear less defined that racism a little it is the power that people have unjustly distributed the opportunities and resources to cultural others. And max of blacks just because of their skin color we want to dismantle that it. We're going to address it through health and health equity so. This is some of the reasons. Were calling racism as a public health crisis and blair. I'm gonna give you the last word. What can be done. I know this is the big question and not a lot of time. What can be done to address the disparities and close this gap. Yeah we specifically layoffs and cause action reports and the report one being acknowledged racism both individual on insists dramatic racism also demand. I'm demanding an increase in funding. So that these these communities can have better resources to better improve their health aweso just acknowledging that the issue and that is charity. And that's where did he. That's what we did here. That's something that not many other. Health departments do even provide life expectancy data by race. So that's we're doing here and it's really just about all chicagoans coming together to make a change it's not just watch chicago. It's everyone coming together as we really have to all work together to really close this gap work for everybody to get in on blair atkinson yaw simpson. Thanks to you both for joining us.

"The life expectancy gap between black and non blacks. Chicagoans has widened. That's according to a recent report from the health equity index committee at the chicago department of public health between twenty twelve and twenty seventeen. The gap grew from eight point three years to nine two and that was before the corona virus pandemic which had a disparate impact on black chicagoans joining us to talk about the causes of the gap. And what can be done about it. Are y'all simpson and blair achim epidemiologists that the chicago department of public health and members of the departments health equity index committee blaring. Ya thanks to you both for joining us. So we know that the report found that black chicagoans on average live to seventy one point four years while non black chicagoans live to on average eighty point six years. Blair what are these numbers tell you about health inequities in chicago. Yes these numbers show us that there are a great health inequities in disparities in chicago. Were looking at the lives of black chicagoans compared to non lex chicagoans and so this night white two year gap is really. We identify some of the top drivers of that gap in our report on those being kind of disease i'm hiv and other infectious diseases such as kobe. Opiate overdose. Infant mortality in homicides. And we're and hopefully we can get into those a little bit deeper as well. The health equity index committee team of five black women. We're talking to two of them right now. Y'all what precipitated this research and why did you want to focus on life expectancy. Yes ma'am thank you for having friends with precipitated this gathering if you will this coming because the health department we wanted to amplify our voices as black women. We felt that some of the leadership wasn't reflective of what we wanted to see so by coming together and making this work with health equity index committee. We wanted to deal with the voices and the unique perspective of the black plight specifically in healthcare and so what we wanted to do was provide a voice for us in the vehicle for doing. That is the change you want to see. So we've decided we gotta change some things and that is to have the first data book ever to be referenced for blacks to non black. That has never happened. In two hundred years of the health department and more specifically to have a research change. There was all black women that has never happened in two years at the health department. So that is what has happened. Is we brought this together. In the reason we're using life expectancies because when you have health equity as index you have. We don't have a specific measurement..

"And thanks for sharing part of your weekend with us on the show tonight in the wake of journalists nicole hannah jones decision to reject a tenure offer from the university of north carolina. We'll talk with local scholars about their experiences in higher education as black women a nine year. Life expectancy gap between black and non chicagoans. We'll discuss why that gap has grown to this point and how it can be narrowed. The renowned chicago sculptor richard hunt and his years. In the making new monument to crusading journalist ida b wells in brownsville equal the playing field for these businesses and the ceo of a local engineering firm gives the last word on what he thinks. The city should do to help. Chicago's small businesses first off tonight. Pulitzer prize winning journalist nicole. Hannah jones made her own headlines last week for rejecting the offer of tenure teaching position at the university of north carolina hannah jones was initially denied tenure for the position by the board of trustees even though tenure is customarily offered for such a jong instead hannah jones announced. She'll be joining the historically black howard university in washington. Dc in the meantime her decision and her words resonated with many other black women in academia who found themselves fighting to thrive in predominantly white institutions. Joining us now with more. Are jane rhodes professor and head of the black studies department at the university of illinois at chicago and valerie. Johnson associate professor of political science at depaul university professors. Thank you both for joining us. So let's start with this eight-page statement from nicole hannah jones. She released about her decision to decline this offer from unc. It reads in part quote. It is not my job to heal this university to force the reforms necessary to ensure the board of trustees reflects the actual population of the school and the state or to ensure that the university leadership lives up to the promises it made to reckon with its legacy of racism and injustice jane roads. Let's start with you. Please did her statement and there was a lot more of it but did what we've heard from her last week. that resonate with you absolutely nicole. Hannah is articulating the challenge for all people of color in academia but particularly for black women. She decided that she had the opportunity to make another choice. And she took it but she didn't have to be a token or to repair a diversity and equity issues at unc chapel hill and that she was going to go someplace where she felt us. Didn't welcome and ready to do her job. The words that she used were celebrated and not tolerated valerie. Johnson how did it strike you. Yes actually when. I read the piece. I i cried because it's so much captured my experience working at a predominantly white institution. At depaul to be honest it is absolutely exhausting. And so while. I have not taken the approach of nicole hannah jones and said okay. It's not my fight is not my burden. I think many half because we know that all systems have rewards and penalties associated with them. And so when you fight back when you push back you are penalized you know. Sometimes your can be impeded. And so i understand very clearly how she said. Well you know what is not my burden to fix the university and certainly she could not do it alone. It takes a village so to speak to change systems of white supremacy valerie. Johnson sticking with you for a second or are there additional burdens that you feel black women in higher education that that you all have to take on well s. The literature suggests on black women particularly in academia. It's almost like we become. The miami's of the university in that use are sort of drawn to us because it particularly students of color and then of course we have to mental her white students as well we take on a large percentage proportion of the service burden and of course as a tool for your often asked to be on committees as a woman as as well as an african american and then it's pretty lowly. We know that only two point. One percent of the nation's tenured faculty are black women. You know if a university get six percent. That is harold as astonishing. And so they're just a number of challenges from climate too. You know microaggressions macro aggressions that. We face daily. Jane roads valerie. Johnson just mentioned you're often asked to serve on boards or committees because you're a woman as well as because you're a black woman do you feel that gender also plays into the the dynamic that you experience in academia absolutely. There are all of these ideas and trump's about black linda's and tom they're really strain and control how people see us and how we are expected to behave. You know we're navigating the angry black woman image where navigating on the idea that black men are not electorally confidence you know. We're a sort of constantly navigated. Mac and their gender in business in the military in politics in academia plays a significant role. There's an expectation that women are supposed to performs reserve feminine roles as valerie suggested as mentor as nurturer as a caretaker But then we're also held to these other standards on in our institutions so it's very much double edged short. What do you feel like you've seen improve over the course of your career joint. Jane roads back to you on that one. Yeah and i've been up a college professor for over thirty years and so one thing that has changed are the numbers is valerie notes. This we're still a vastly underrepresented in academia but in life first job on i was the only black woman on the entire campus on amendment faculty. And that's now become more rarity ice. I've seen generations of young black women both and undergraduate and graduate school move on to become professors and so so the exciting thing is that bears this very dynamic generation of folks who are determined to have a mark and have a place in academia so as a positive change. It's been slow. It's been super mental and it's still not nearly enough and valerie johnson. Why aren't there more. What do institutions of higher. Ed need to be doing to attract more black women into academia. Well they have to be committed. The commitment has to go beyond just the professed commitment after the george flew away. Murder institutions of higher education predominantly white institutions. in particular. You know had they up their purported commitment right but if you want diversity equity inclusion fund it right and so you have to have a commitment. And unfortunately i saying you know even though there has been progress yes. We went from zero percent to two point. One percent as you know african american females at least as tenure professors. But i really do question the actual commitment progress but more work to be done. It sounds like jane rhodes and valerie johnson. Thanks to you both for joining us. Thank you up next. Details on.

Relevant is for example. They have believable bilingual on. How are there other things how we grew up. We and this site is that we grew rather risk professor. Marcus i read that. Latino families for example are less likely to put a loved one with dementia in a nursing. Home why do you think that is. Is it cultural or simply an issue of lack of healthcare access for the most part. What we know is that it is cultural. A we have a data with other latinos who have taken care of a loved one with alzheimer's disease and the bottom line is can care for my loved one. The way we can and a lot of that is cultural from connections within the family those strong bonds that cannot be broken and it's also with the care facilities if it's If the person is monolingual spanish maybe there aren't facilities that can appropriately care for them or understanding the person's background where they're coming from those can all influence whether or not somebody enters care physician dr for a family member that suspects that perhaps their spouse maybe either mother.

And i was say prevention right or reducing our risk for our chance of getting alzheimer's disease so the more physical activity that we do.

"Advocate gives the last word on normalizing therapy in the black community. I off tonight in america. Many view incarceration as punishment one receives for breaking the law but a recently released study indicates that for the more than three point three million people in illinois with criminal records their punishment continues well past the time they serve. The report exposes hundreds of laws and restrictions that make it prohibitively difficult for people with criminal records to rebuild their lives. After incarceration this week. The heartland alliance and other human rights advocates launched a statewide effort to end those laws and sanctions. It's called the fully free campaign joining us to discuss it. Our hartland alliance fully free campaign manager marlin chamberlain and fully free campaign board member and live free. Chicago organizer will at benford. Thanks to you both for joining us. Marlin let's start with you. Please explain for us. What you mean by permanent punishments. What kind of limitations are on the books in illinois. So i say the reason why we decided to call them. Punishments anoc collateral consequences is because collateral consequence suggests that this was accidental. And we don't believe that these these this web laws were accidental and so we decided to call them aren't permanent punishments because that's exactly what they are It's like a punishment after the punishment after you've been released from incarceration and this laws also hinder people from from opportunities and moving forward their lives whether it's housing educational or employment and we'll let give a sense if you would of the scale of this problem. People are affected by it in illinois. Three point three million adults have been arrested or convicted of a crime says nineteen thousand nine hundred seventy nine which is widely thought to be the beginning of mass incarceration so that equates to about a quarter of the entire illinois galatian over twenty five percent of the population has arrest or conviction. And we'll let give us a sense of the impact on on the black and brown communities in particular. Yes black women make up. Fourteen fourteen percent of the billet population but over a third of those arrested or convicted of a crime. Black men they are thirteen percent of the adult men in illinois but over water of all men arrested or convicted. Black people make a thirteen point eight percent of illinois adult population but black people make up twenty eight point nine percent of those wire arrest or conviction records thirty four point nine percent of people were convicted of a crime and forty five point three percent of people who were convicted felons and marlin chamberlain. How have you personally if you don't mind sharing how you've been affected by some of these so-called permanent punishments so into into i was sentenced to a two year federal prison sentence and in two thousand eighteen and my sins was reduced as a result of the passing of fair cincinnati which changed the ratio between practice cocaine and so ultimately. My sentence was reduced from twenty to fourteen years and i was released on may twenty nine of two thousand twelve and so i've been home now almost ten years i've been employed since i've been home. I'm a college student. Mary recently purchased a hold. And how these laws recently impacted me on my seven year. Old son. I was taking a school trip to a bolinao and his teachers as me to because they see how engaged i am in my son's education and so i completed the application and was denied an opportunity to participate as a chaperone because of my. But they're like i said there rebelled laws in another example that i give is that anyone with a felony conviction The law prohibits them from being the executive minister of of really controlling like their families will if someone was to pass away on which is a law. That has nothing to do with public safety. It's just along the books that just doesn't make sense and in situations where an individual is the only one that could be the executive of their families will then it creates a challenge because now the person is not able to to really handle their families business because of their record. We'll let what do you say to the argument that some of these sanctions are necessary for public. safety businesses. perhaps safe from a hiring people who might be untrustworthy. Well let's say that was someone has served their time and you reenter society. The one thing you want to do is set people up for success is it's not proven anywhere where businesses are kept saved. Because they don't hire people that have felony convictions or have a conviction or arrest on their records. Usually these are some of the most best employees that you can hire and so. I don't think. I know that that doesn't keep our community safe exiting people out of opportunities to reenter society and be gainfully employed marlin. What effect would you say. These sanctions have on the recidivism rate. So i'm trying to the the impact on recidivism rate. Is that if people can't find opportunities if people can't find employment if people care housing. It's almost like you're forcing people to go back to a lifestyle that they may not necessarily want to go back to them and so. I think it definitely adds to the recidivism rate. And i would also say that to me. The recidivism rate is really a grant on the system and not the individuals because we remove these barriers. Then people will be able to really forward. They live and not have to worry about a mistake that they've made in the pants. So the launch event that you all held this past week included testimonials from several formerly incarcerated. People here's a clip from avalon. Bets gaston of the safer foundation. We never flee pay our debt to society we go. we're incarcerated. We come home and society rejects us on a multitude of levels.

How sometimes when me and my dad ride down the street a bunch of people stare at you in a good way so keep doing that for chicago tonight. I'm evan garcia one. Who said oh and his daughters look familiar. That's because they're part of a family mariachi band so lethal lindo that our very own jay shift ski profiled five years ago you can visit our website to see that story and learn more about the rat patrol bike club and their local meet ups. The forces of gentrification can make people being priced out of their neighborhoods feel powerless but the founders of lolitas data and hummel park say residents have more power than they think and in their pockets. Here brianna smith and melissa say give la la la brea and what they say. Everyone can do to invest in their communities. I am brenner amira smith. I'm maria said the us and we're not doesn't one and together we are you to say at that time we got this. We got this. We're gonna out. I am brianna ramirez smith. I'm mighty saadiya's out of say i. We are though nita production. We are the co creators of lolitas. But they got here in humboldt park we are cohibas for my neighbors sisters pretty much and they really is a ex pop up market here. In the heart of humble park we began in two thousand hundred nineteen As a way to stave off gentrification and poor back into our community in very probably puerto rican and humble park is one of the last mainstays for us and our culture. And it's it's slowly being gentrified out you go through the park and you see families you see sports use. The older people playing dominoes people just hanging out and it is so important that we continue to have that for future generations. I believe the statistic is sixty percent of all dollars for small businesses. Go right back into the community that they're in and if you're spending money mindfully in your community it allows you to stave off that small business from having to leave at the You're definitely going to find the vendors Reflect the community clothing to our creative. Wears like candles incense you have. Jewelry like ring is actually from one earrings from an artisan local artists and our t t shirts. This is from someone who lives on division street. Some of them. Unfortunately due to the way things are going have had to leave whether that be their generation or they're the previous generation and so if we would just became more conscious of where we're putting our money into We can definitely changed. The trajectory of what is happening to. That's the only way we're going to. Thrive is if we invest in each other be an active participant in your neighborhood. Actually put in some work and and help out the community. Organizations that are struggling are working hard to make sure that the community is receiving the resources that it needs. If we don't do something about it it's going to be done to us. And i would rather go out with a fight. Then sit here and allow some things that happen to me. There's a lot of magic happening in our spaces. Look for those places that have magic because you can buy something that will be worth something..

"Now a national movement for the recognition of juneteenth florida. Oklahoma delaware idaho and alaska have joined texas officially declaring juneteenth. A state holiday. South shore has been the venue of a juneteenth celebration. Here for the past. Six years organizers. Say this us. Five thousand participants show. Juneteenth is catching on in chicago and young people and people in the community know about our celebration every flyer that we pass out in the community. We have the information of what juneteenth is. That is the oldest of freedom in the united states but just because they celebration is successful. Does it follow that. That should be officially recognized. Holiday in just juneteenth rise to that level. Oh definitely i've talked with people and some people say well it's a holiday automatically but i think it's something that should be recognized nationally because i think it needs to be shared with the rest of the country. We're still in denial. We're still into now. The things that happen during slavers dastardly things and with juneteenth gaining wider recognition. What significance does it hold for black americans. And how do they try to honor. Its legacy today through their work. Eric williams award-winning executive chef and owner of virtue. Restaurant in hyde park recently spoke with us. About what the day means to him and what he's doing in the culinary world to promote equity began by asking him what significance the holiday holds for him. I thanks so much for having me on. It holds a lot of significance in. It's very personal for me. We're we're in two thousand twenty. One and we are still fighting the battle of having access to capital in african american communities and communities of color abroad why that means so much to me is because wants to muse it texas than the slaves had nowhere to go and so we are making strides in terms of create our narratives of sharing those narratives which gives me a lot of hope and our ability to communicate both in our communities and abroad. However we're still in a space where we have to keep. We have to continue to put pressure on banks and institutions that provide opportunities because it doesn't do us any good if we're free and we have no word on obviously the slaves the enslaved people in galveston at the time learning about the end of the civil war and that they had been freed. You know it's a matter of access to they didn't have information and resources then and you've talked about how in your industry there's also. There are barriers to information and resources. How do you try to remove some of those barriers. think Around as as an entrepreneur or shopowner however he liked to fashion that it's it's becoming increasingly important for me to trade notes fellow operators Get a better understanding things that i don't share for about things. That are very savvy about. Because we're we're all fighting battle being a small businesses very tough endeavor and i think the world has seen them last eighteen months. You've also received as we mentioned the medal of honor from the mayor. How do you hope to use that platform. Well i'm gonna use their platform. The same way use. Any platform was sick. Humility and with a lot of purpose. We didn't open virtue by mistake. A restaurant is it stands on the shoulders of its very definition and that is of high moral standard and and we use the two borders to encompass them moral standard being kindness and hospitality. And so we take people in. We say she ain't them and we make sure that people have the opportunity to see intelligence and engineering throughout our space on a night tonight basis. We feel good about that. And it is extremely disarming once able to feed people than were able to get the story. We've obviously been through an enormously difficult year restaurants. Especially how did virtue respond in this past year. Well we responded. Many ways one of the ways this most talked about our commitment to taking care of first responders via healthcare workers We set since thousands of meals out to local hospitals are predominantly the university of chicago to make sure that both morale was lifted and to to let our first responders know they matter to us we. We've all endured an incredibly challenging year And it's important to us to both be a part of the community but also to be supportive of the commu- you also. Of course you were. As you mentioned you were able to stay open. When many restaurants sadly had to close Was it important for you to stay open especially for your staff. Well if it's another scenario where are people had nowhere to go. Unemployment offices were overwhelmed. And you know we. We just felt like the best use of our time would be to work through the confusion. That going. On at the onset of the pandemic and the clothes downs. And so what we did. Is we stabilize. their business. Made sure that we can operate at a break-even and part of the revenues that we brought in we support our team members with by way of forgivable loans and that worked out very very well for us it has been a huge investment and allow loyalty and thanksgiving on the side of the community and our team members. Said you know. We're just grateful all we're now of course as we mentioned juneteenth is getting a lot more recognition and there are many ways in which you know blacks. The african american contribution american culture has been overlooked. How do you try to combat that through the food that you serve at virtue. Well again. I think you know when you have the opportunity to to provide a meal for someone. Food is the great equalizer and so It offers a level of trust. It offers a level of care and anna level of service and we take all of those things very seriously and we continue again to use our platform to spread the word as far as we can. I think you know many people are saying now. Wow i note the happened texts. Wow why haven't i heard stories before and for the african american community We've become accustomed to our story. Not big till one. So we take these moments to to stabilize to pivot and to push for not just this message but the mini messages that have been lost or buried over the years and before i let you go. What more do you think needs to happen to be sure that people are educated about the history of african americans. I think again that we need to continue to spread the word. We need to continue to celebrate. The contributions blacks have made both four and in this country. But i think more than anything in our constitution encompasses this ideal of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness with liberty being pretty good word and so until until all of our fellow americans are in a position where liberty rings We're going to continue to struggle. So i think you know the promotion of liberty. The promotion of life and the provoked promotion of the pursuit of happiness will probably be at the top of my agendas will continue to be as we advocate for people both near and far chef williams virtue. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me. And we're back to wrap things up right after this And that's our show for this sunday night. Be sure to check out our website.

"Rose simpson became america's first black woman to graduate with a phd. She earned her doctorate as well as her bachelor's and master's degrees in german philology at the university of chicago. Now to the university students are honoring her trailblazing achievement. With the georgia anna rose organization social group supporting black women and women in line students in academia joining us now are diageo agr row vice president and george santa rosa organizations president marla anderson. Welcome both of you to chicago tonight. Black voices so marla anderson. Let's start with you. Please tell us who was georgina. Simpson and how did her story inspired the creation of your organization. That's a great question and his answer. Because how do we really know. Dr simpson was sides. What we know from history. That's the interesting thing is that there's supposed written oath. Written an unwritten and so from the written history know that she was barred from being able to be on campus in the halls because other students are pure zoom or on campus. We know that she faced other struggles after she graduated from you. Chicago refused she. She was unable to find teaching physicians because people didn't think her chievements enough. And so what. I really admired about. Dr simpson's story was one her resilience and to her commitment to a sting reinvesting to her community. I think that's really where grow comes from. You know as black women at a predominantly white institution. We're going to face our own challenges in our own time to resilient and so just following in those flexibility investing in our community. Those are the things that i found most inspiring story. This is obviously the campus has sororities black sororities whites worries as well but this is the first organization specifically for black women at the university of chicago. What gap are you trying to fill. Or what role are you trying to to offer to the other black women students at you chicago right right One thing about you chicago is that it's a campus. That's dedicated to free speech colored that they always try to emphasize they never talk about the conditions that are needed in order to austria this free speech so the gap that we really trying to fill is creating space of care that space of comfort to know that we are validated as women in our experience and know that those experiences are intersectional and such then when we go into these spaces and we go into the world. We are with the company to speak really to be ourselves because we always know that our camp this specifically that is that space and that split grow is briefly. How would you say this is different from the sororities. Of course and of course it's different. That list sororities because it is for black limited by black women and we are specific to those mean whereas of course there's other spaces that are more general focus that are also black and focused but when we talk about black women and we we understand that those are a specific category of people. That's different emara. You were building community not just with each other but also with black owned businesses in the u. of c. area. How are you all going about that. And how it working. Well i would be lying. If i said it was difficult. Chicago's so filled with so many breed bark on business black women on businesses. I think especially due to racial unrest. Last year of even google has done a better job of making it simple to state black owned businesses in my area. And so we've been able to go to semi colon which is a store in chicago. The only black woman owned bookstore and gallery. We've been able to go to kill wines. I if you don't know about till wins. It's back on chocolate shop Chocolate and ice cream and also went to the east of butler today at art institute which is a black women artists and so it's the black woman culture. Black women in businesses are so evident that tonight even hearts of fine. But we just wanna make sure that we're drumming up support from both the community and art organization so we can just get together and go and have a good time and then saying that you know if there are black women businesses or by businesses in chicago. That would like to see us. That would like to invite us over and you know so we can have a good time in shandon community. Together that would be amazing opportunities your opportunities for community. It sounds like roller just getting started. But what's the future for jaro or grow. The future for girl is very bright. We look to first and foremost have more social events. Nixon we build that community and also we hope to get more politically involved in working with a greater community in terms of different Black women facing organization around chicago for example Opo we'd want to work with them in the future and also continuing to uplift. The voices of are really great members. So all of that cocoa the kenwood oakland community organization. There briefly there is a bust of her in the reynolds club on campus Dia why is that a significant location. Oh for many reasons. I think the most striking one is that her bus stands parallel to the exact president who refuse to let her live on the use chicago campus. Her voice of central location on campus. That everyone will get a chance to see if they are student here. And so i think It's like a welcome almost to the black student and once upon a time it was club that was only accessible by white males. That's obviously now my thanks to the women of grow Audio and marla anderson. Take you so much for joining us. Best of luck.
