Trayvon Martin, an African-American teen, was shot to death on February 26, 2012 by neighborhood watch participant George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic.  Trayvon was unarmed.  Zimmerman says it was self defense and has not been arrested.   The shooting and lack of arrest have sparked protests nationwide, and has re-opened the discussion about race and profiling of African American males.  

On the next Another View, we convene a special round table to talk about the issues surrounding the killing of Trayvon Martin.  We'll bring you the latest on the investigation, and delve deeply into the subjects of black male homocide, race relations and profiling.  Join Roger Chesley, columnist for the Virginian-Pilot; Carol Pretlow, political science professor with NSU; community activist Bill Thomas; and journalist, talk show host and author Wil LaVeist on the next Another View, Friday, March 30 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us whrv.org.

There is a lot of emphasis placed on keeping kids in school and on track to graduate with their class...yet every 26 seconds a teen decides to drop out of high school.  What are the pressures, both societal and educational, that makes a kid give up?  And once they've left high school, what are the alternatives?  On the next Another View, we'll talk about two alternative programs designed to help kids get back on track and become productive citizens.  We'll talk with Luther Boykin and Elijah Charles of Commomwealth Challenge; and Mike Bonfiglio and Anthony Lowery with Point Option - programs with very different approaches yet the same goal - to help high school drop outs get an education.  It's all a part of CPB's American Graduate:  Let's Make It Happen initiative.  Join us Friday, March 23 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us at whrv.org.
