Bring It On! – WFHB

Bring It On! continues our highlight of Dr. Khalil Muhammad, currently a professor at Harvard University.

Dr. Muhammad, previously a Bring It On! contributor while a professor at Indiana, spoke along with Dr. Renford Reese on negative black male stereotypes and how black men themselves may be perpetuating such negative views. Professor Reese examines how young African-American males have unwittingly accepted a false model of black masculinity. Dr. Muhammad offers his own insights on the topic.

Join hosts Jim Sims and Sherhara Williams in this back-to-back archived discussion from November, 2006.

Congratulations to the entire "Bring It On!" team for receiving yet another first-place distinction from the Society of Professional Journalist's "Best in Indiana" awards. The broadcast entitled, "A Conversation on positive community interactions with Indiana State Police" was recognized under the Radio Public Affairs category.

Co-anchors Leila Randle and Cornelius Wright joins Dr. Khalil Gibran Muhammad for a prerecorded interview where he speaks on the broad intersections of race, democracy, inequality, and criminal justice in modern U.S. History.
