The Powerbroker: Whitney Young’s Fight for Civil Rights
by Bonnie Boswell
Whitney M. Young, Jr. was one of the most celebrated — and controversial — leaders of the civil rights era. The Powerbroker: Whitney Young’s Fight for Civil Rights follows his journey from segregated Kentucky to head of the National Urban League. Unique among black leaders, he took the fight directly to the powerful white elite, gaining allies in business and government, including three presidents. Young had the difficult tasks of calming the fears of white allies, relieving the doubts of fellow civil rights leaders, and responding to attacks from the militant Black Power movement.

ZuriWorks presents Big CHOP to STOP CANCER1:00 pm – 6:00 pm
CELEBRITY HAIRSTYLIST JOHNNY WRIGHT JOINS ZURIWORKS FOR A HAIR-RAISING CAMPAIGN: Big CHOP to STOP CANCER
Black women are rarely asked to cut their hair to raise cancer awareness. Big Chop to Stop Cancer aims to change that by asking black women, and their allies, to cut their hair to raise cancer awareness. Aligned with Target 5 of the World Cancer Declaration, the “Big Chop to Stop Cancer” campaign seeks to dispel myths and misconceptions about cancer by asking women to be a part of a dialog-building campaign where people share their knowledge and experiences to teach people about the reality of cancer. A play on the natural hair term, “the big chop,” the Big Chop to Stop Cancer asks black women, of all hair types to cut their hair, and raise their collective voices in a call to action to their communities to improve their general knowledge around cancer while simultaneously challenging misconceptions about black women and their hair.
Who: Johnny Wright is a stylist to the stars and Michelle Obama and cancer warriors and their allies. ZuriWorks™ for Women’s Health works to unite the health, beauty, and arts industries in order to save women’s lives from cancer by raising awareness, increasing screening, reducing delays in treatment, and empowering women living with cancer to live well.
What: To kick off the seven month campaign, Johnny Wright offers every woman a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – to have her hair cut and styled like a First Lady. Wright, national spokesperson for Big Chop to Stop Cancer, is auctioning his services at www.bit.ly/chopcancer to provide customized wigs and cancer support services, and support ZuriWorks for Women’s Health (www.zuriworks.org). Winners will debut their “big chops” hairstyles at a reception following the event.
When: The chopping begins at 1PM on March 14. TV and radio interviews begin at 1:30. Press will witness documentary filming of individuals who will be spotlighted as they share their experience, strength, and hope to teach others about cancer.
Where: Immortal Beloved Salon, 1457 Church St., Washington, DC.
Why: Aligned with Target 5 of World Cancer Declaration, the Big Chop to Stop Cancer aims to dispel damaging myths and misconceptions about cancer. The goal is to create much-needed dialog among black women in order to improve early detection and screening rates, reduce delays in treatment, and empower those living with cancer to live well. The campaign pays tribute to the courage and spirit of the millions of black women facing the challenging road ahead of cancer treatment and recovery.
Individuals, salons, and independent hairstylists are invited to register and simultaneously kickoff the campaign with Johnny Wright and ZuriWorks. Register on the ZuriWorks site –www.zuriworks.org. Registered individuals will official campaign decal. Events will take place throughout the year and culminate Tuesday, October 8, 2013 in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The program is still accepting corporate sponsors and partners. For more information visit www.zuriworks.org or email info@zuriworks.org or call 202-630-3750.

Whether they are preparing for college or becoming teen moms, the students at DC Met face many challenges with spirit and resilience and welcome us to challenge many of our own assumptions as we travel with the first graduating class to commencement. Led by a charismatic and outspoken young principal, DC Met invites us in for an unprecedented first-hand account of life inside of the school reform movement.

To educators, Washington Metropolitan High School (DC Met) is an alternative school with a devoted staff. To district leaders, it is a failure. To many of the school’s students, it is home – a safe haven from sometimes unsparingly difficult lives. Whatever one’s vantage, 180 Days: A Year inside an American High School provides an intimate portrait of this fledgling school’s day-to-day stories, condensing a full school year – 180 days – into four hours (2 two-hour episodes).
With a dynamic and charismatic young principal and five remarkable kids at the center of the story, 180 Days invites viewers in for an unprecedented first-hand look of life inside of a school that tries to meet the needs of some of our nation’s most challenged students.
