The Past is Not Past: The Continuing Quest for Racial Justice and Peace panel at was held before a capacity crowd at Syracuse University’s Newhouse III this morning (pictured l to r: Janis McDonald, Andrew Young, Linda Carty, Martin Luther King, III, and moderator Paula Johnson).
SU’s Linda Carty (Dept of African American Studies) cited several statistics and said there are several obstacles to the notion of peace, including: substandard education, poverty, and the misapplication of justice that spawned the prison industrial complex.
Former Ambassador Andrew Young said freedom is a constant struggle. He also advised students not to get mad, but to get smart.
SU alum and SIF Advisory Board Member John Giles, Jr. (pictured in the audience near event co-organizer Scott McDowell of SU-NYC and media personality George Kilpatrick) dialouges with the panel about coalition building as it relates to seeking justice in the modern day Civil Rights Movement.
Martin Luther King, III, the son of the legendary civil rights leader, said true justice is justice across the board (for everyone).

Jabari Asim at Syracuse University
Journalist Jabari Asim, editor of The Crisis, spoke this week at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication. He said The Crisis has a legacy of fighting against “erase and replace syndrome” and correcting historic inaccuracies about African Americans.
The Crisis, the official publication of the NAACP, was founded in 1910 by W.E.B. DuBois. The first issue was published in November of that year, and the circulation was 1000. Today the readership is over 200,000.
Asim said his current goal is to keep the magazine relevant and cultivate a younger audience (average age of a reader is now 63).

Shelly Griffin: Cent$ + Sense-Ability
A statistic was cited during the recent Cent$ + Sense-Ability Fashion Show at The Newhouse School of Public Communications last week that the average American discards about 68 lbs of clothing and textiles each year.
In an effort to show that fashion too can ride the current wave of sustainability, this year’s annual fashion show for the Fashion Communication Milestone featured recycled materials, clothing, and material found in the trash. A host of material was donated by the Rescue Mission. The student designs promoted “Fashion in a Recession.”
A few of the evenings highlights included: hairstyles featuring soda cans as well as, Tina Fey impersonator and Newhouse Program Coordinator Shelly Griffin (pictured above).

Dr. Rick Wright
I interviewed Syracuse University professor and on-air radio personality Dr. Rick Wright for a piece back in the 1990s when he was on an AM station.
Now he has probably the highest rated time slot for Sunday afternoons and can be heard on WPHR-FM Power 106.9.
Wright is a recognized expert in his field and his bio reads like a history of radio for the past 45 years.
I visited Rick Wright’s show last week as a photographer for my client, the Love N Basketball Project. Wright’s show had a vivacious atmosphere and was packed with a film crew, students and various guests.
Wright remains an ardent and vocal supporter of Syracuse University, the city, and he brings just the right amount of old school flavor to the end of the week.
