Another View Round Table: Erasure of a Federal Holiday?

The Trump Administration calls in the National Guard and Marines to keep peace as citizens protest the actions of immigration agents in Los Angeles and across the country. Meanwhile, preparations for the estimated 45-million-dollar military parade in Washington are well underway. Is it a celebration of the Army's 250th anniversary or Happy Birthday to Donald Trump? Some states are pulling back or cancelling their Juneteenth events. Are we erasing history? What is happening within our country and is it what you expected when you voted last November? The Another View Round Table is on this edition of Another View to share some thoughts and analysis. Host Barbara Hamm Lee is joined by pundits Norfolk City Treasurer, Daun Hester, President of the Hampton NAACP and Democratic Party Activist, Gaylene Kanoyton, Host and Producer of the More Laughing in the Morning Show and Human Resource Expert, Allison Moore, and Assistant Director of the Department of Housing and Community Development for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Bill Curtis. This and all Another View Programs can be heard on-demand on the show's page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
