America has always had a cagey relationship with the art and craft and business of cinema. In this episode, acclaimed film director King Hollis speaks about the dynamic connection between what we see on film and television, and what we perceive and judge as reality— and truth. Said King Hollis, “…in the early days of cinema, the culture shapeed the movies but in these days, it is the movies and television , which shape the culture. “ What does this mean for us going forward?” We take a deep and purposeful drive into the depths of art and cinema as the soundtrack and movement for those whose voices and stories are often pushed into the background.

We grow and develop with ideas about what justice is—or, is not.
But in a Nation founded and shaped —as we are told— by Judeo-Christian values— perhaps we should examine justice within that framework. In this episode, we’re going to unpack the realities of justice and how we believe it should inform and influence our choices. Many in our society are quick to say, ‘freedom isn’t free.’ Neither is justice. There is a cost attached to it. A personal cost and a societal cost.
In a frame dominated by a commitment to capitalism and scientism, how does the lack of access to health care, economic stability and emotional well-being pollute all of our lives? And, what should we do? Justice laments the tragedy of broken humans; then does something about it.

Clarence Hill is the beat writer for the Dallas Cowboys and one brilliant jounalist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
We appreciate him being on the show and value the deep insights he shares.
Our podcast series deals with issues of health inequities health disparities primarily in the world of black infant mortality. But we’ve expanded it because none of those issues regarding African-American health exists in a silo. We’ve taken a broader systems view to understanding the healthcare disparities that are it work that net out in metrics of heightened amounts infant mortality reduced life expectancy.
What’s troubling me lately is that I want to figure out to determine a way to encourage more athletes to use their voice and influence to illuminate matters of health disparities in health in equities here in the United States.
Clarence offers his thoughts on this and much more--and he tries to convert me to consider attending a Cowboy game.

Chattel slavery. The owning and trafficking of humans has been around since the beginning of time. But slavery in the United States was especially harsh and cruel. At the beginning of the war we now call the 'Civil War,' there was a rhetoric used about 'protecting our way of life,' or 'preserving the union.' The reality is that is war was about the continuation of slavery in the United States. Since our podcast is designed around health care disparities, black infant mortality, and black maternal health we're going to build in how the aftermath of the war and Jim Crow laid the foundation fo inequities reduced access to health care that exists to this day. But first, we talk about Juneteenth.
