I want to introduce you to the term coward culture and set the tone for 2023. I even give you a great visual of #CowardCulture with the likes of the #RedondoBeach political mob that hides behind keyboards and plays the role of cyber-bullies and keyboard gangsters.

Several generations before the Black Lives Matter movement took hold, there was a bigger, more controversial group fighting for civil rights and equality in America. A new book, When Black Panthers Prowled Amerika, offers a unique look at the Black Panthers Party through the eyes of an author who marched in the south in the 1960s under Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is historical fiction, but features mostly real figures from a tumultuous era, and meditates on race relations that offer insights into today’s society. The book has stirred controversy because the author is not a young Black woman, but rather an older white guy.   In this book, Pam discusses:   How history views the accomplishments of the Black Panther Party.  What can be done to improve racial equality in the U.S.  Why racial relations are still terse, half a century after the Black Panthers were dismantled. A new perspective on J. Edgar Hoover’s role in suppressing the Panthers.  Why several publishers refused to publish Pam’s book.  Who gets to tell the story of the Black Panthers?   Get the story behind the story.    Follow the LEADERS & LEARNERS Podcast: https://spoti.fi/30za4Xh  Sand and Shores helps tell true stories that have a powerful impact on real lives!

More than 50% of South Carolina’s African American college graduates come from one of the state’s seven Historically Black Colleges & Universities. A new program, the South Carolina Institutes of Innovation and Information (SCIII), has just been formed in order to help grow student enrollment at the HBCUs and to foster a classroom-to-job environment with the students, schools, and business community. It may prove to be a model program for other states to copy.  Senator Scott and Executive Director Gwynth Nelson join us to discuss: How SCIII will provide new opportunities for innovation at the university level for Black students.       How shortages of skilled workers for key industries, such as nursing and health care, transportation, technology communication, and business, can be met by the SCIII.  How SCIII will increase the number of Black STEM degree candidates, providing a greater pool of talented workers to lead innovation.   Get the story behind the story.  Follow the LEADERS & LEARNERS Podcast: https://spoti.fi/30za4Xh  Sand and Shores helps tell true stories that have a powerful impact on real lives!
