Should diversity matter  to when it comes to purchasing decision-making?  Should small, woman-owned and minority companies be included in the purchasing process?  Two cities in Hampton Roads say "yes" - and each has conducted a disparity study to evaluate its policies and procedures.  On the next Another View, we talk with representatives from the Portsmouth School System and the city of Hampton about their studies, the results, and what has been done to level the playing field in the procurement process.  Our guests include Dr. Mark Whitaker, Chair, Minority Business Committee, Portsmouth Public School Board; Bruce Williams, Vice President, Economic Justice, 200-Plus Men; and Jessica Spencer, Minority Business Coordinator with the city of Hampton's Department of Economic Development.  And Lisa Godley shares the history of the Hayden School and its new purpose today!   It's all on Another View, Friday, March 29 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us at whrv.org.

Each 4th Friday of the month, Another View spends time talking about health issues of particular interest to the African American community.  On the next program, we talk about Medicare and Medicaid - two federally funded health insurance programs with two very different outcomes.  What is the responsibility of government and the patient when it comes to lowering health care costs?  How do these programs fit into the Affordable Healthcare Act? Do we need to continue both programs?  Join us for a robust discussion on the pros and cons of Medicare and Medicaid with our resident health expert, Dr. Keith Newby.  Plus, Lisa Godley profiles a school principal and a documentary producer, both of whom have ties to Norfolk and are a part of the PBS documentary, 180 Days: A Year Inside an American High School.  It's all on Another View, Friday, March 22 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us at whrv.org.
