Welcome to Episode 10 of the Beyondrhetoric.org Podcast. In this episode, we talk with youth who volunteered at our Chipotle fundraiser. In the state of Maryland, students must complete service learning hours as part of their graduation requirement. According to the Maryland State Department of Education website,  Maryland is the first state in the nation to implement this requirement. So, Beyond Rhetoric helped students in the state fulfill a graduation requirement while completing successful fundraiser.  Students were expected to canvas near Chipotle in College Park Maryland. They encouraged people to “Eat For Change,” the slogan for the fundraiser. We used a large QR code on a clipboard so people could simply scan the code at a safe distance. The adults split up the youth, and we walked the campus of the University of Maryland and near and around Chipotle. Afterwards, we were able to ask the volunteers (which included my sons, Spencer and Barack), about their experience, earning Service Learning Hours.

Hello, and welcome to Episode 9 of the BeyondRhetoric.org podcast. In this episode, we continue our discussion from episodes 7&8 and we conclude our discussion about Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. We are joined today by Declan Joyce, a friend, supporter an attendee of Beyond Rhetoric’s book discussion. In this episode, we don’t only get to hear about how Declan felt about the book, but we also learn hear how he identifies racially, how he, as a non-black person,  experienced a book discussion heavily about race in the United States and what change he has made in his approach to African Americans in the United States.  This podcast is our longest so far, but I assure you, Declan’s thoughtfulness on the sensitive subject of race-relations and his amusing contributions are worth every minute of it.  Please visit us at beyondrhetoric.org and leave comments regarding the show at the following: https://anchor.fm/khaalis-hall/message (Heads-up: Anchor requires that you create a free account to leave a message.)
