Enlighten Me

Show Credit: WERA-FM|Show Title: The Complexity of Women On the program, Zoe Carpenter of The Nation has been looking into African American maternal birth rates. If we claim to care about black babies, let’s care about what has happened to them from the start. Also, how did certain topics become single issue deal breakers in political discourse? And where did women of color, specifically African American women stand as they straddled the fence of wanting civil and equal rights while at the same time promoting and protecting their strong pro-family stance? Marjorie Spruill, author of Divided We Stand delves into what some called “Four Days That Changed The World”, a look into the generational effects of the 1977 International Women’s Year Conference.
