- 2 years ago
- Description
- What was Ossie Davis thinking when the actor and playwright wrote a Broadway comedy about racism in 1961? His play "Purlie Victorious, A Non-Confederate Romp through the Cotton Patch" brandished humor to fight racism and injustice and win acclaim from theater critics and audiences, including Malcolm X and Eleanor Roosevelt. The predominantly Black Broadway cast in 1961 included Davis and his wife Ruby Dee. Today, the couple’s children Guy Davis, Nora Davis Day, and Hasna Muhammad explain the play's origins and how it evolved – or didn't – up to the Tony-nominated revival in 2023 starring Leslie Odom, Jr.
Chelsea-Lyn Rudder, co-host of THIRTEEN's monthly social video "One to Watch," conducts this illuminating interview as a bonus back story to "Great Performances: Purlie Victorious," which shares the entire Broadway play for TV audiences as part of Great Performance's Broadways Best series. The play ended its Broadway run in February 2024: don't miss seeing Leslie Od...

- Teach Civics: ‘Schools should be incubators for democracy’

- Description
- Often called “the father of American education,” Horace Mann argued that free, standardized schooling was key to self-governance, calling education the “great equalizer of the conditions of men.” A curriculum emphasizing the understanding of civics was core to that argument. Up until the 1960’s, American high schools required up to three courses in government and civics but in the last half century, civics education has been eroding.
Since 2014, students at the eighth-grade level in the United States have been experiencing declines in civics and US history scores. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NAEP) the average score in history dropped five points between 2018 and 2022 and less than a quarter of eighth graders were at or above the proficient level in civics. A 2022 civics assessment known as the Nation’s Report Card recorded the lowest recorded score since 1998.

- Enormous mansions of Long Island's North Shore, nicknamed the Gold Coast, once represented America's largest concentration of wealth. From 1890 to 1930, the richest New Yorkers hired leading architects and landscape designers to build estates within 40 miles of New York City. At Oheka Castle, Planting Fields and Old Westbury Gardens, cost was no obstacle. Some families only kept the house for one generation. Several mansions are open to the public today – have a look at their past and present.

- How do we know if a fact is really a fact? We’re surrounded by algorithms and peer groups that feed us information on social platforms like Facebook, X and TikTok. But these days, most of us don’t have the digital literacy skills to discern what is real.
MediaWise, an innovative initiative based at the Poynter Institute, is harnessing the power of social media to empower teens to separate fact from fiction in a new digital series called “Is This Legit?”

- Description
- Being informed is a critical part of being an engaged citizen. Trusted sources of information are more important than ever, as they are key in helping citizens make informed decisions when it comes to discerning between, supporting and voting for people and policies that shape their lives.
Access to accurate information is more widely available now than ever before in history. But it’s also easier today, with so much content at our fingertips, to be influenced by misinformation, disinformation, and to give in to populist trends. An uninformed informed citizenry can be a serious threat to our democracy.
A watchdog free press, also known as the Fourth Estate, is an essential piece of a healthy democracy. But in 2024, many Americans disagree about where to access it and what news is accurate: only 32% of Americans report having a “great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in the media.

- Description
- OnPoint NYC is the first and currently only officially sanctioned overdose prevention center (OPC) in the United States. Its two locations, in East Harlem and Washington Heights, are safe injection sites. Approximately 3,200 registered participants can bring their illegal drugs in for testing to find out what substances are in them, and at the same site, use clean needle supplies to inject themselves.
Reporter Christopher Booker takes us to the work areas of Yarelix Estrada, a staff drug tester, and Race Samuelson, who observes people after they take their drugs for signs of overdose and to administer aid if needed. According to Executive Director Sam Rivera, there have been zero deaths at the center since it opened in November 2021 with the approval of then New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

- Description
- The best harm reduction advice for drug users is “Never use alone,” according to the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). New York has adopted harm reduction strategies like that simple advice to reduce opioid overdose deaths. The state is also distributing naloxone, testing drugs for fentanyl and supporting needle exchanges. Research shows that users of syringe programs are five times more likely to enter drug treatment programs. The state’s strategy is informed by how HIV cases among intravenous drug users were successfully reduced. The term harm reduction is decades old and was used for the first time by the federal government in 2022 in President Biden’s budget proposal. In 2023, reporter Christopher Booker shadowed harm reduction workers in Hudson, NY, and Far Rockaways in Queens, New York City, in this report for MetroFocus.

- Description
- The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Americorps originated in Staten Island in 1965, when a group of older adults volunteered at the underfunded and troubled Willowbrook State School. Today in New York State, more than 1,100 adults between the ages of 55 and 101 volunteer at more than 250 nonprofit organizations. They help provide a service while keeping active and connected to their community. From providing access to food to giving advice on household finances, older adults who volunteer are likely to decrease their chances of premature death, according to a Harvard School of Public Health study.
We highlight Staten Island resident Sharon Mineo, who volunteers with the Nourish the Service food pantry at Fort Wadsworth Military Base, and with a grandmothers club and a hospital; and Alina Molina, who manages the RSVP program as Vice President, Program services, for the Community Service Society in New York.

- Black Americans today remain at the center of conversations around how to expand access to the American Dream. These conversations incorporate efforts to shape education in the future. In our global information age, analysts, policymakers, teachers and local communities -- all are looking for solutions to new challenges in education.
Historically, school districts with majority Black populations have been underfunded, resulting in lower educational outcomes. Presently, analysts like those at The Century Foundation, a progressive think tank, have developed what they call “scientifically rigorous estimates of the investments needed to raise up students that are currently falling behind.” The authors of the study conclude that the detailed analysis they and other researchers offer will help prepare policymakers to choose solutions that will advance racial and economic justice.

- Description
- “Segregation Scholarships” is a digital, mini-documentary series that highlights the untold story of African Americans who traveled to the North in pursuit of advanced academic degrees when Southern graduate schools were white-only.
Instead of making the Great Migration a one-way trip, these academics – teachers, administrators, lawyers, doctors and other professionals – returned to the Jim Crow South, where they applied their knowledge towards strengthening southern Black communities and helped to end segregation in the United States. The story of these largely unsung trailblazers and civil rights foot soldiers illustrates the key role of education in transforming social conditions in the U.S., past and present.

- Segregation Scholarship recipients, Rosenwald School teachers and alumni were to become a powerful influence in dismantling the Jim Crow system, bringing America closer to its stated ideals of liberty and justice for all. Black Southerners returning from Northern universities with advanced degrees would be instrumental in desegregating higher education in Georgia, one of the last states to abandon Jim Crow education policies.
On August 16, 1962, Segregation Scholarship recipient Mary Frances Early became the first African American to graduate from the University of Georgia (UGA). Like many Black trailblazers before her, Early put her education to use in service to her community. She was a teacher and music director in the Atlanta public schools for more than 30 years, later serving as music department chair at Clark Atlanta University. In 2013, UGA awarded Early an honorary doctorate of law, and in 2020 the school’s College of Education was renamed in her honor.
