“Stand against Racism” 0

Last week, the local NPR station’s Hearsay, its news and analysis show, highlighted the YMCA’s Stand against Racism. From the website:

Stand Against RacismThis month, YWCAs around the nation are bringing people together from all walks of life to raise awareness that racism still exists. On Thursday’s HearSay, guest host Barbara Hamm Lee talks with local advocates about efforts to end racism in our area and celebrate the richness of diversity.

Scheduled Guests:Regina Malveaux – Executive Director YWCA of Hampton Roads
Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander – Associate Professor of History, Norfolk State University

Most of the show involved discussing the incontrovertible evidence that racism is still deeply ingrained in American culture, as revealed by the response to the election of President Obama.

Follow the link to listen to or download the show. If nothing else, listen to the listener phone call that starts at the 35:30 mark, in which the caller, Nelson, tells what he has seen.

It’s chilling.
