Beyonce as the model for a major cosmetic company, only after they lightened her skin. OJ Simpson's photo was darkened to make him appear more sinister on the cover of Time Magazine. And then there is the issue of "intra-racial" discrimination - African Americans who discriminate against other African Americans because of the hue of their skin. On the final television episode of Another View, we'll talk about discrimination based on skin color with Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, history professor at NSU; Eleanor Earl, Asst. Professor of English and Cinema Studies with Hampton University; Regina Malveaux, Executive Director of the YWCA-SHR; and author and journalist Wil LaVeist. Plus we'll take a look back at the two and a half years we've been on the air. It's the farewell edition of Another View on television.

Another View will be back on the air June 17 when we'll talk about African American couples' relationships. What can we do to ensure strong, healthy, respectful relationships between men and women? How do we keep the lines of communication open? What's the fair way to fight? How do we pass along to our children the legacy of love? We'll hear from the male perspective with relationship experts Brian Hawkins, MSW; and Kevin Hawkins, LCSW, with the Father's In Training program. Plus, a tribute to Dads on this Father's Day weekend...in song.

It used to be known as a "gay, white man's disease"...but 30 years later, the fastest growing population living with, or being infected with HIV/AIDS is African American women! Black women account for 77% of all women in Virginia living with HIV....and are 21 times more likely to be diagnosed with the disease. So what's going on with African American women when it comes to HIV/AIDS? On the next Another View we'll hear from experts Alycia Dickens, Family Nurse Practitioner and HIV Specialist with EVMS, Ruby Jones, who is living with HIV, and Dr. Zina McGee, Sociology Professor from Hampton University. Plus we'll show you how one school system is incorporating physical exercise into classes traditionally designed to exercise the mind.

On the next Another View, Roger, Carol, Bill and Wil are back with more insightful and stimulating conversation about issues of concern in the African American community.

At least one political leader calls it, "the newest form of slavery" - we're talking about the arduous task of restoring the civil rights of ex-offenders. Virginia is one of only a handful of states that does not provide automatic restoration once the prison time, penalities and waiting period are completed. On the next Another View, we'll talk about why this is such a critical issue for the African American community, how the process works, and what's being done to change the system. Our guests include the Honorable Yvonne Miller, State Senator, 5th district and Vickie Williams-Cullins, owner of Open Door Communications. Plus, mentoring on the Peninsula - Big Brothers and Big Sisters show you how it's done!

From May through December, 1961 more than 400 African Americans and Whites risked their lives by traveling together on buses to integrate interstate transportation. The "Freedom Riders" stopped through Montgomery, Alabama, where they were beaten and cursed. And 13 year old Valda Montgomery was there when they came to her home for shelter and food. On the next Another View, we'll talk with Dr. Montgomery about her experiences growing up in the midst of the Civil Rights movement which she chronicles in her book "Just A Neighbor". And we'll meet a local student who's been invited to "get on the bus" with surviving Freedom Riders as they all re-trace the original routes.

Have you ever heard of Shepard Mallory, Frank Baker or James Townsend? How about Major Benjamin Butler? Are you familiar with the term, "contrabands of war"? On the next Another View, a history lesson most of us probably never learned in school about the beginning of the end of slavery in this country. Norfolk State University Professor Dr. Cassandra Newby Alexander, and Hampton Mayor Molly Ward discuss the contraband story and the historical significance of Fort Monroe on the next Another View.

On the next Another View, a candid conversation with retired police chief Bruce Marquis. He led the Norfolk Police Department for more than seven years, and had his share of controversy. We'll go behind the hype and get to the heart of his decision making, accomplishments, mis-steps, and how he feels about the climate for African American leaders in Hampton Roads.

Norfolk Public Schools has submitted a budget to the City that is $16.8 million leaner than this year's budget, and includes the closing of two schools. So what does this mean in terms of educating Norfolk's children? What's the plan for next year? On the next Another View, Superintendent Dr. Richard Bentley, and School Board Chair, Dr. Kirk Houston join us to talk about the budget and the three goals for NPS, on-time graduation, full accreditation, and community involvement. Plus, meet artist Gerome Meminger and see the story of the man, his brush and the art he creates!

They're back! Our Another View round table pundits are ready to share their wit and wisdom about the issues facing the African American community of Hampton Roads and beyond. This week's topics include the Urban League's "State of Black America" report; the Jalen Rose/Grant Hill controversy; and the fallout behind a teacher's Civil War lesson plan.
