I LOVED the remake of Roots. I'll make sure to dedicate a complete blog of the impact of the 2016 miniseries on my life. But you know there are the haters out there who want to make slavery "go away," including rapper Snoop Dogg. Television Journalist Roland Martin takes him on with this lighting quick commentary that counters Snoop Dogg's rant.

It will bring tears to your eyes, while driving you to celebrate through the pain. That sums up my thoughts about this week’s television miniseries “Roots” on the History Channel. For some it’s an unnecessary reminder of our past. For others it’s a troubling account of the strength and resilience of Black people who endured and survived the brutality of American slavery. On today’s show we’ll unpack the wide range of emotions with my special guest, clinical psychologist Dr. Lynda Morris Parham. She’ll help us examine why this miniseries is impossible for some to watch…while helping others to understand why race is still a thorny issue in this country. I vividly remember getting my young family squared away at bedtime before watching every installment of Roots back in 1977. Now some 40 years later I’ve rearranged my own personal schedule to watch this newer version that’s equally as powerful and painful at the same time. Join our conversation of our past, our present and our future through the Roots of our ancestor’s legacy. ============================ Watch Carole Copeland Thomas participate on a LIVE video stream show on Friday June 3, 2016 at 7pm EDT. Here's the link: https://blab.im/gail-turner-brown-roots-recap-review-who-watched-what-did-you-learn-what-s-next-afjgcq ============================ About Roots On The History Channel HISTORY® premieres "Roots" on Memorial Day 2016, airing over four consecutive nights at 9 p.m. beginning Monday, May 30, it was announced today by Paul Buccieri, President of A&E and HISTORY. The four-night, eight-hour event series developed by HISTORY, from A+E Studios, is a historical portrait of American slavery recounting the journey of one family and their will to survive and ultimately carry on their legacy despite hardship. The stellar cast includes Academy Award® winners Forest Whitaker ("Fiddler") and Anna Paquin ("Nancy Holt"); Academy Award® nominee and Emmy Award® winner Laurence Fishburne ("Alex Haley"); Golden Globe Award® winning and Emmy Award® nominated actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("Tom Lea"); Tony Award® winner Anika Noni Rose ("Kizzy"); Grammy Award® winner Tip "T.I."

"'Roots' will allow new audiences to experience this epic family saga with a new vision that is both inspiring and tremendously entertaining," said Buccieri.

Difficulties and setbacks are just the normal part of any life cycle. We have talked about the importance of courage, the realities of fear and failure and the ultimate necessity of change. Today we’ll turn our attention to that final step after facing change: Letting Go. It’s difficult at times, but so important to embrace. Your life needs to move forward. You need to move to the next level of your career path. That prized customer just isn’t going to come back. The relationship you poured your heart and soul into has ended. It is at those moments you must cut your losses, LET GO and MOVE ON. The amazing thing is that so often letting go will free you to pursue new opportunities….something that might not happen when you just keep holding on. Getting laid off from that dream job opens up the possibility of you starting your own business. Letting go of a toxic friendship may spark new conversations with people who share more of your values and traditions in life. Letting Go Can Be A Refreshing Opportunity For You To Grow! So let’s clear the deck and prepare to move forward in life by letting go in a meaningful and productive new way. Welcome aboard! ============= "You Can't Reach What's In Front Of You Until You Let Go What's Behind You." Focus On Empowerment can be heard every Thursday at 1pm Eastern.

Each broadcast can be replayed immediately following the show. ======================== Steps To Change Your Course of Action We continue our introspective look at courage by examining how CHANGE is a necessary course of action for us all. We’ll use a number of quotes and sayings to see how WE must first change ourselves before we can change the world around us. Change can be difficult and unsettling. It can be disruptive and uncomfortable. It moves us from the known to the unknown…and that uncertainty can make us afraid. The mere thought of change can stop us from moving forward. And in our stationery position, we can actually move backwards when we resist change. Today we’ll explore how or courage can be met by the changes we take on and make our own. We’ll name it, claim it and own it so that we can move forward to our rightful place in society. Definition of Change: To become different: To make (someone or something) different: To become something else

Each broadcast can be replayed immediately following the show. ======================== We continue our introspective look at courage by examining the depth of failure in our lives that either cripple us or make us stronger. Everyone fails at something. If you live long enough you will experience failure. Most babies learn to walk by stumbling, teetering over and plopping to the floor in amazement….only to get up and try it all over again. That’s failure in action. With each step in life we fail on one front or another. A difficult marriage collapsing. A job that implodes. A business that just doesn’t have enough bandwidth to make it. How we view these failures will make them teachable moments or incidences that can keep us frozen time. Today we’ll explore the heroic lives of six notable Americans whose failures did not stop their paths to success. They turned their setbacks into amazing roadmaps to their legendary futures. ======================= Six Great Americans Facing Failure Over Fear Elizabeth Blackwell First Woman to Graduate From Medical School in 1849. Rejected by 29 Medical Schools Walt Disney Bankrupt artist who went on to co-found a 40 billion multimedia conglomerate. Colonel Harland Sanders Rejected 6th Grade Dropout left with a secret fried chicken recipe and a social security check. Mary Kay Ash Divorcee then widow who sold products door to door to support her children before borrowing money to launch her cosmetics business. Abraham Lincoln Numerous failures, family tragedies and political defeats riddle the legacy of a man whose laser focused determination saved a country and freed millions of slaves. Marian Anderson When the Daughters of the American Revolution said NO to this acclaimed Black operatic singer, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said YES and helped open the door for her famous Lincoln Memorial open air concert of 75,000 in 1939.

Each broadcast can be replayed immediately following the show. ======================== Last week we started on our journey of facing up to the struggles in our lives with courage, faith and determination. We determined that the true anecdote to fear is courage, and facing that fear can indeed be daunting at times. As we tackle this topic, let’s look to three historical figures whose life sacrifice becomes the basis of why courage is such a majestic force of change. Today we’ll explore the heroic lives of Harriet Tubman, the ex-slave who led more than 300 slaves to freedom, Solomon Northup, kidnapped into slavery only to emerge as a free man 12 years later and Abraham Lincoln who fierce determination to keep the Union in tact ultimately emancipated millions of slaves around the United States. Freedom fighters and survivors whose courage triumphed over fear in the midst of some of the most painful periods of American history. ====================== Harriet Tubman On The $20 Bill 4/20/2016 WASHINGTON – In a letter to the American people, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew today announced plans for the new $20, $10 and $5 notes, with the portrait of Harriet Tubman to be featured on the front of the new $20. Secretary Lew also announced plans for the reverse of the new $10 to feature an image of the historic march for suffrage that ended on the steps of the Treasury Department and honor the leaders of the suffrage movement—Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul. The front of the new $10 note will maintain the portrait of Alexander Hamilton. Finally, he announced plans for the reverse of the new $5 to honor events at the Lincoln Memorial that helped to shape our history and our democracy and prominent individuals involved in those events, including Marian Anderson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. The reverse of the new $20 will feature images of the White House and President Andrew Jackson. In his letter, Secretary Lew noted that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will work closely with the Federal Reserve to accelerate work on the new $20 and $5 notes, with the goal that all three new notes go into circulation as quickly as possible, consistent with security requirements.

Nearly 20 candidates stepped into the political area last year with their pledges, promises and possibilities. Now only five are left standing as the race tightens and narrows each and every day. Clinton, Sanders, Cruz, Trump and Kasich all have angles and agendas that you need to study. Not your mom, dad, cousin or colleague…..YOU need to study each candidate so that you can make an intelligent decision in the voting booth. We’ll walk you through a five step plan to help you determine your best candidate to lead these United States of America in 2017. Five Steps For Strategic Voting 1. Understand The History of US Elections 2. Background Check Each Candidate 3. Read Foreign Press 4. Think About Who Would Best Represent YOU As President 5. Separate The Courtship From The Marriage

Why are women still only making 79 cents to every $1 a man makes? Why are the perceptions of hard working women different from men? Why are women presidential candidates treated differently than their male counterparts? Why does race still matter for women of color? And why is the work and family balancing act still a major factor in the upward mobility of career women in the United States and other countries? Women have made tremendous progress in the past 100 years. That’s a certainty. However, so much more can be achieved when we examine the root causes of why so much more can be done to achieve gender equity in the workplace. We’ll also salute military veterans Rev. Dr. Sandra Whitley and Rev. Dr. Carlita Cotton, whose achievements were recognized and honored during the March 3rd Black History Breakfast. Women on the move…making a difference in our world. |
