First Of All with Victor Blackwell

Former Air Force Secretary Has Warning About Pentagon’s DEI Website Purge

Listen Later

The Department of Defense is getting heat for misfiring badly in their rush to scrub DEI from their websites. Former Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, joins Victor to share a warning about the military's diversity purge.

 

After a judge called out the "frightening implications" of President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, Victor gets perspective from Jose Antonio Vargas, who made headlines after telling the story of his life as an undocumented person. He shares with Victor the concerns he has about the immigrant community, and his own legal status.

 

Plus, Victor speaks with Former Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights, Catherine E. Lhamon, about the impact of President Trump’s order to begin dismantling the Department of Education on schools, districts and children.

 

Later, Disney's "Snow White" is in theatres this weekend. Victor speaks with Patricia Alfonso Tortolani, who interviewed actress Rachel Zegler for a profile in Allure Magazine, about the backlash to the film’s reimagining of “Snow White” with a Latina princess. 

 

And from "Chase Dis Money Street" to "We the Best Terrace" – there’s a neighborhood that's re-naming their roads, with some Miami Hip-Hop inspiration. Victor speaks with Miami-Dade County Commissioner Keon Hardemon about why he pushed for this to happen in his community.
