Pop Culture and the African American Community

Monique wins an Oscar for portraying an abusive mother. A white sorority wins a national "step show" competition but suddenly the judges change their minds and declare an African American sorority a winner, too.  Retired national news anchor Dan Rather makes a comparison using President Obama and watermelon.  On the next Another View, we're talking about the way African Americans are portrayed in pop culture.  Join our discussion with Professor Eleanor Earl, Cinema Program Coordinator at Hampton University; Bill Thomas, Community Activist; Dr. Wanda Brockington, Chair of Norfolk State University's School of Mass Communications and Journalism; and Roger Chesley, Associate Editor of the Virginian-Pilot.  Plus, go behind the scenes of "Porgy and Bess".  It's all on Another View, Friday, April 2 at 9P on WHRO-TV, digital 15.1.

Are We Too Casual?

Remember the time when African Americans took great pride in dressing up for special occasions, like a Broadway play or a concert, or even church?  Today, are we as a community too casual?  What role does our appearance play as part of our collective self-esteem?  A riveting conversation with Reverend Dr. Kirk T. Houston, Pastor of Gethesemane Community Fellowship Baptist Church; Kristina Wright, Miss Hampton Roads, 2009;  Curtis Holloway, Wardrobe Consultant with Details on Granby; and Dr. Freddye Davy, Director of Hampton University's Honors College.  Plus, meet the members of the Youth Outreach Urban Resources and Services - or YOURS - mentoring inner city youth one child at a time.  It's all on Another View, Friday, March 12, 2010 at 9P on WHRO-TV, digital 15.1.
