In honor of Juneteenth, WNYC and WQXR are presenting work that invites reflection, deepens understanding, and celebrates Black liberation. Notes From America continues its tradition of broadcasting its Juneteenth special from Texas, where the holiday originated. This year, host Kai Wright was joined by Mary Ellen Curtin, biographer of Texas Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate after Reconstruction. Together they explore Jordan’s legacy and the ongoing project of securing and protecting the rights of Black Americans to vote and lead. The special was recorded live this past weekend at Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church, a historically Black house of worship in Houston where Jordan was a member. View the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eKbqxPz3 WQXR celebrates Juneteenth with an all-day marathon spotlighting music by Black composers and performers, including Joseph Boulogne (Chevalier de St. Georges), Florence Price, Duke Ellington, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Margaret Bonds, Scott Joplin, and Adolphus Hailstork, among many others.

Diedra and Maureen are the Co-Creators of the online course "Cultivating Intersectional Leadership." We also co-host the podcast "Eyes on whiteness."
SSTS is a conversation that seeks to support, deepen, and grow the ability of Black technologists to explore, imagine, and create factors necessary to build muscle memory and heart for imagining and exploring from a lens to do less harm to self and others. Our time together seeks to shift the sector by regarding & remembering we are worthy of inhabiting and taking up space that requires, expects, and pushes the need to solve nothing. In this space, at this juncture in our sector-shifting journey, we get to connect, be, explore, laugh, be curious, and rest. SOUTH conversation path is about growing and exploring our IMAGINATIONS. Join a conversation at soshiftsthesector.com The word SOUTH against video of a campfire with a river flowing behind it. It reads A deep connection exists between IMAGINATION & Social TRANSFORMATION. This is NOT a webinar. This is NOT a presentation. This is NOT a conference. This IS a CONVERSATION GROUNDED in TRANSMUTATION & UNAPOLOGETIC BLACK LOVE. 2023 Season for SSTS ends in September. If this type of communication speaks to YOU, register to join one or two convos. Hope to see you.
