Welcome to a very special bonus addition of the SITUP Podcast. Our brother and friend Mark Charles will join us today to share with us the events of the Indigenous People March in Washington DC. Mark spoke at the event earlier in the day and shared with us the real story behind the Indigenous People March and its purpose. 

On January 18th our Native brothers and sisters joined together in peace for the Indigenous People March in Washington DC. As the event progressed protesters from the Pro-Life March for Life, and members from a Black Hebrew Israelites group began to fight.  One Native Elder, Nathan Phillips attempted to keep the peace when he was confronted by high school junior Nick Sandmann who stood in his path. The photo of the Sandman's mischievous grin was quickly described as disrespectful by most on social media and created public discourse about the teen's actions.

In this episode we will discuss the slave bible that was distributed to slaves in the 1800's. This bible was missing many key verses. We will Interview Todd Hiestand a minister about his his thoughts as a white male and pastor. A can't miss episode. 

Join host Leroy Barber and Producer Andru Morgan as they hit Facebook Live to talk the NFL's Rooney Rule. This discussion was stimulated when Dallas sports anchor Dale Hansen called out the NFL for quickly filling the majority of its head coaching positions with under qualified white candidates. This raised a lot of questions for Leroy and the SITUP Podcast crew that they explore on this episode.  

Adopted in 2003, the Rooney Rule is an NFL policy requiring every team with a head coaching vacancy to interview at least one or more diverse candidates. In 2009, the Rooney Rule was expanded to include general manager jobs and equivalent front office positions. The Rooney Rule is named after the late former Pittsburgh Steelers owner and chairman of the league's diversity committee, Dan Rooney.  As of December of 2018 the enhancements to strengthen the Rooney Rule include:

1. Clubs must interview at least one diverse candidate from the Career Development Advisory Panel list or a diverse candidate not currently employed by the club;

2. Clubs must continue best practice recommendation of considering multiple diverse candidates;

3. Clubs must maintain complete records and furnish to the league upon Commissioner's request; and

4. If final decision-maker is involved in the beginning, he/she must be involved through the conclusion of the process.
