This week’s show will look at the connections between the rise in hate crimes, including the Jacksonville shooting, and the ongoing fight for justice for the victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. We are honored to have three amazing guests to join us for the complete hour to explore these topics, including the ongoing fight to restore the historic Black voting district in northern Florida.
Today’s show will update last week’s show regarding the critical case of Allen v. Milligan and will look at the rise in hate crimes occurring against backdrop of the historic 60th Anniversary of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham which killed 4 Black girls: Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Addie Mae Collins

This week’s show focuses on a disturbing story of extrajudicial punishment by police of the Baton Rouge Police Department who tortured, tased, strip searched, and sexually abused arrestees. Igniting Change guest, Jessica Hawkins, Esq., is a co-counsel for two of the plaintiffs suing the police department for their treatment heading to and at this blacksite.
The focus of the show is going to be on “Defending the Power of the Vote: Ohio Early Voting and Supreme Court of the United States’ Argument in South Carolina Redistricting Case”. Igniting Change is blessed to have three special guests who are experts on community organizing for early voting in Ohio, Ohio ballot issue # 1 on reproductive rights, and the upcoming Supreme Court argument in the Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP case.
This week’s Igniting Change focus really speaks to the challenges of our time in combatting voter disenfranchisement! Imagine, the last Kentucky gubernatorial election was decided by 50,000 votes; yet, 140,000+ newly eligible formerly incarcerated persons in Kentucky are largely unaware that they can register and vote.
The Igniting Change Radio Show on Tuesday, October 24th, 2023, from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern Time, entitled, “Rolling Out The Vote for the November 7th Elections in Kentucky and Ohio!”
As TJC plans to take the John Lewis bus on the road to GOTV with our partners in Kentucky and Ohio, Nov 2nd - 7th, this week’s Igniting Change will continue last week’s focus on the specific issues and challenges confronting voters in these two states.
