Public/Private Partnerships and the African American Community

Do your eyes glaze over when you hear "public/private partnerships"?  Do you think it has nothing to do with you unless you are a business owner or work in economic development?  If this describes you be sure to tune in to the next Another View!  Our guests have an interesting perspective on how the African-American community can benefit from such partnerships.  Join guests W. Wayne Perry, P&P Development, LLC.; George Parker, P&P Development, LLC.; and Steven Lynch, Director of Economic Development for the city of Portsmouth as they bring you the ABC's of PPP's.  Plus, we'll share a new program that turns the negative of being suspended from school into a positive life lesson.   It's Another View, Thursday, May 28 at 9P on WHRO, digital 15.1.

Police and the African American Community

Historically there has been tension between the police and the African-American community for a variety of reasons - brutality, racial profiling, lack of trust to name a few.  But have things changed lately?  Are relationships between the police and African-Americans improving?  We'll find out from the police perspective when we talk with Chief Bruce Marquis, Chief of Police in Norfolk, and Chief Kelvin Wright, Chief of Police in Chesapeake.  Plus, we'll take you to a rite of passage ceremony that helps ensure young men are "Tied to Greatness".  It's all on Another View, Thursday, May 21 at 9P on WHRO-TV, digital 15.1.

Kidney Disease

African Americans are four times more likely to develop kidney failure and will need dialysis or a transplant.  A scary statistic, but with the right lifestyle changes you can prevent this disease.  And if you develop kidney disease, it is not a "death sentence" as you will learn on the next Another View.  Our guests are Pamra and Ray Ransom, kidney donor and kidney receipient, and Eleanor Myers and Paula Bazemore, both with the National Kidney Foundation, Virginia.  Plus, Lisa Godley takes us to Hampton's Diversity College! Join us Thursday, May 14 at 9P on WHRO, digital 15.1.
