  • Ep. 20 - Where are all of the Black Male Educators?
    In this episode 20, Specialist Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul speaks with Mr. Ayodele Harrison (Host of Black Male Educators Talk/Community race and culture consultant) concerning the plight of the black male educator. With so few black men entering the field of education, there are yet too many obstacles keeping potentially excellent black male educators from serving the communities they reflect. This episode is a call to action to address this need and to work diligently to ensure that this "2 %" of educators increases immediately to reflect the demographics of the schools which need them most. Support this episode by listening, sharing and speaking with potential black male educators and do your part in helping them to become a part of this educational solution.

Stuart Elementary to Barack Obama Elementary) and the discussion of removing Civil War hero statues, it has made a lasting decision - to rename the Boulevard to Arthur Ashe Boulevard. The Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC), in partnership with the City of Richmond, Arthur Ashe Boulevard Initiative, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, co-hosted this official dedication ceremony which included such noted speakers as Civil Rights legend Congressman John Lewis (GA-05).
    Virginia’s native son Arthur Ashe was honored today with a well-deserved event. The dedication ceremony  was timed at the opening of the Virginia Museum of History and Culture's new exhibit "Determined: The 400 struggle for Black Equality” in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in British North America.
