In This Episode

In 2015, Kendrick Lamar's album To Pimp a Butterfly came at a crucial moment for Black America.  After protesters took to the streets to voice their concerns about police brutality and white supremacy, Lamar's hit single, “All Right,” became a Black Lives Matter anthem.  Black music's role as a mouthpiece for the people is no surprise.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2024

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) announces "Building Connected Communities" as the theme for Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2024.

Building Connected Communities helps us reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment in our communities. Any space where people come together is a community, whether in neighborhoods, workplaces, campuses, organizations, or even online spaces. We are all a part of a community, often many, even when we may feel disconnected or apart from them.
