  • Organizer of Target "Fast" Speaks Out on Boycott's Impact and Next Phase

    Organizer of Target "Fast" Speaks Out on Boycott's Impact and Next Phase
    2025/04/19
    For the past 40 days, Pastor Jamal Bryant has been leading a Target “fast” over the retailer’s decision to pull back on DEI. He reveals to Victor what came from a meeting with the company’s CEO and plans for a “second phase” of boycotts. Head Start has helped millions of low-income children get access to an early education. Now a Trump Administration budget draft calls for the elimination of federal funding for the program. Dr. Deborah Bergeron, who led the program under the first Trump Administration, tells Victor why the news caught her “off guard”. Plus, Victor shares the story of Alfredo Orellana. He is a green card holder who helps care for a man with autism, Luke Ferris. Orellana’s wife, Anita, is 7 months pregnant. But now Orellana has been detained for months and faces deportation. The father of the autistic young man he is a caregiver for, along with Orellana’s wife and their attorney, Ben Osorio, share with Victor the impact this is having for both their families ahead of an upcoming hearing. Later, Victor gets reaction from acclaimed environmental justice activist Catherine Coleman Flowers to news that a Justice Department agreement to help Lowndes County, a majority-Black county in Alabama, deal with harmful sewage issues is being dropped, citing DEI. And you’ll hear from 15-year-old Gaby and Miami Arts Studio choral director Cindy Ellis after a video of their high school’s performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” went viral. All the singers are either immigrants or the children of immigrants. And Gaby reveals that her father nearly died in the recent nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican Republic, which adds to the post-performance emotions. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Planning for the Future in This Economy; Mahmoud Khalil's Legal Team Reacts to Judge's Ruling

    Planning for the Future in This Economy; Mahmoud Khalil's Legal Team Reacts to Judge's Ruling
    2025/04/13
    A new survey of how consumers feel about the economy confirms: the vibes are off. And we know the impact is disproportionately felt by people of color, trying to save for the future and retirement. Victor asks entrepreneur John Hope Bryant if he sees a way forward. An immigration judge in Louisiana says pro-Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Members of Khalil’s legal team, Baher Azmy and Ramzi Kassem, tell Victor what the decision means for Khalil and the other students facing deportation for their activism. Victor also shares the devastating case of Victor Perez. The 17-year-old with autism was shot multiple times by police in Idaho. He was seen with a knife, but the family – and even the original 911 caller – say officers totally botched their response. CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Charles Ramsey shares his analysis. Plus, the National Indian Health Board wants to meet with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, which dropped just as National Minority Health Month got underway. Victor speaks with their CEO, A.C. Locklear. And later, Augusta has a new monument to the Black caddies of The Masters. Victor explores their overlooked legacy and the tribute with artist Baruti Tucker in this week’s “Art is Life”.

    Small Business Owner Fears Impact of Trump's Trade War on American Dream
    2025/04/06
    The rollout of President Trump’s tariff plans is generating a lot of anxiety on Wall Street and main streets across the country. Victor speaks with economist Valerie Wilson, who lays out the disproportionate risks people of color could face from Trump’s trade war. And Victor gets real-world perspective from Atlanta-based small business owner Felipe Arroyave, who is worried that the tariff whiplash is putting his American dream at risk. Plus, Victor reveals the books that stood out to him from a list of nearly 400 that were pulled from the Naval Academy’s library. The pentagon's first chief DEI officer - who is also a Navy Veteran and current member of congress – Gil Cisneros shares his reaction. And later, Victor catches up with hip hop artist Petey Pablo to talk about how his iconic track "Raise Up" could soon be the official hip-hop song of North Carolina. Learn more about your ad choices.
