From calling people names to racial profiling, our world is full of interpersonal racial conflict yet it doesnt reach a national awareness much less consensus on how to solve the problems we face. Walter Davis, Executive Director of National Organizing Alliance has years of experience working on social justice issues and dealing with interpersonal racial conflict. He shares his thoughts on the current position of interpersonal racial conflict and what we can do to be about the business of creating a more just society. Join this Richard Brown show.

As Tiki put it just because God will bless you for tithing does not mean the IRS will. Learn what companies to be aware of during this tax season. We also look at products that are not structured with your best financial interest at heart. Get a better sense of resources to aid you this tax season on this Richard Brown show. Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:43:29 GMT What is risky? Trying (and perhaps failing) or not trying at all? I submit the idea that trying to reach your dreams is critical to life. On this show, I talk about having flexibility in your dreams and how you can work to achieve them. Far too many of us get one no and allow our dreams to die. We then turn angry and bitter with ourselves, others, and the world. I have a belief that we can all develop a process that leads us step by step to turning our dreams into reality. Developing your process and taking this path is what I believe the essence of happiness. This and much more are my topic on this Richard Brown show. Share your dreams with me and how you are turning them into reality. Mon, 8 Feb 2010 08:43:29 GMT The NCCU Womens Center promotes the academic, personal, and professional development of women. Chimi Boyd Keyes, the Director of the womens center, discusses her passion. Going to the people, not waiting for them to come to her, Chimi has fostered a deep relationship with students, the university and the community. These conversations sometimes uncover a painful past, and thankfully Chimi guides those individuals to the correct resources so that the individual can get help, heal, and overcome. The womens center is working on several projects, for example, one involves bringing middle school girls to campus and exposing them to science careers. There are also upcoming events the center is hosting that give us new tools to discuss gender roles. Join me as we engage this neglected topic on this Richard Brown show. Mon, 15 Feb 2010 08:43:29 GMT Beryl Satter, author of Family Properties joins me to talk about her book. Set over a three decade span, it tells about how her left leaning father, a lawyer in segregated Chicago, fought again slum lords, the city, and bankers to try and save black families from losing their over priced homes. Her father due to stress and a weak heart dies and leave her family with little financial support. The story then follows a group of black homeowners as they take this fight first to the doorstep of the slum lords, then to the justice system. Their story is one of bravery in the face of very long odds. Beryl connects these historical events to some of the practices we find in our financial and cultural systems today.
