Today's show is different from our usual episodes and it is much longer but worth the listen. The topic is on diversity and inclusion in sports, schools, and industry; a subject most white folks are scared to talk about and black and Brown people regularly talk discuss behind closed doors. Special thanks to Matt Holman for sharing audio from his YouTube series entitled Overtime. Today's show is an excerpt from Overtime episode 7 a panel which includes coaches college coaches Chazz Woodson and Amy Slade, Club Coach and future Hall of Famer Trevor Tierney, Club Coach Kevin Kelley, Entrepreneur and former University of Maryland player Harry Alford; and Educators Christina Snell, Fred Opie, Tina Opie, and Troy Kemp.

In 2006, the Yankees announced plans to build a new $800 million dollar stadium. In order to do so, the administration of former billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg doled out public welfare to the privately owned lucrative sports franchise. The welfare included $444 million in rent and tax breaks, free land in the form of 28 acres of city-owned public parks, ball fields and tennis courts, state-subsidized parking garages, and the construction of new Metro-North commuter rail station in front of the new stadium something local residents have been requesting for years. In exchange for the public welfare, the Yankees signed a community benefits agreement in the form of promises. South Bronx activists and self-proclaimed Yankee fans mobilized in opposition to the original deal and Yankee’s broken promises thereafter. This a documentary of the 4SBX coalition; multiethnic organizations made up of residents of the housing spaces sandwiched up against the new Yankee Stadium and their supporters.

(Excerpts from a show that first aired circa 2009 on "Here On Earth: Radio Without Borders" which was hosted by Jean Feraca and ran on Wisconsin Public Radio from July 2003 until she retired in 2012) Juneteenth celebrations commemorate June 19, 1865 when the Emancipation Proclamation was finally enforced in the state of Texas, two and a half years after Abe Lincoln made his famous decree. We talk with professor and food writer Frederick Douglass Opie about the celebratory foods of Juneteenth, as well as the rich history of soul food in the United States and the many foods of the African Diaspora.
