The first segment (4-4:30) of this episode was dedicated to previewing the activities planned to honor Black History Month (February) at Guilford College.  Krishauna Hines-Gaither & Brianna Randolph detailed the many unique events being sponsored including a discussion of the history and use of "The N Word" and the first installment of a three part series: "Hair & Body Politics."  

The second segment (4:30-5) Dave Wils, NC Democratic Party leader and national party committee member came on and presented his inside "takes" on how The Democratic Party is working on coming together. He discussed potential 2020 candidates and specifics around the messaging the party is putting forth in support of a wide variety of human issues.  I asked him why The Democratic Party was not connecting with the poor working class that may have made up/ or still make up... Mr. Trump's base.  Dave disagreed with my premise that Democrats weren't addressing the issues facing this segment of the population, but agreed that the party was challenged in getting across this message to "base" Trump supporters. 

Dave emphasized the need for continued grass roots work for Democrats and predicted a blue wave in both the NC House this fall and nationally for the 2018 Elections.
