Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Bill Cosby...all African American and all in the spotlight because of violence. The recent killings of Brown, Garner and Rice have forced this nation into dialogues about the intersection between race and the police. And opinions run the gamut about "America's Favorite Dad", and if in fact Bill Cosby is guilty of rape as accused. But what happens once the marches stop and Cosby is no longer in the spotlight? Will things change in America for African American men? We'll talk about it with the Another View Round Table: Roger Chesley, columnist for the Virginian-Pilot; NSU political science professor Carol Pretlow; community activist Bill Thomas; and author, journalist and talk show host Wil LaVeist.

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.

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. African American parents have had "the talk" with their sons and daughters about how to act and react when stopped by police, and there have been several public events lately teaching young people how not to be confrontational. 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? Law enforcement leadership joins us with some perspective on the next Another View - Chief Michael Goldsmith, Norfolk Police Department; Chief Kelvin Wright, Chesapeake Police Department; Chief Cedric Alexander, President, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) and Lieutenant Daniel Edwards, Durham, NC Police Department..

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. Our guests include Ruth Jones, Executive Director, YWCA-SHR; Larissa Sutherland, Education and Outreach Coordinator, Samaritan House; and Natalie Purdie, a domestic violence survivor. Please join us for a conversation that could literally save someone's life, Friday, October 3 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live from this blog!
