Will Black and Brown Voters Turn Out on Super Tuesday as the Presidential Election Cycle Begins?
Basic Black discusses the upcoming Super Tuesday primaries/caucuses and the presidential election. While the 2024 election cycle is underway, it is hard to tell. Will voters turn out, given voter fatigue and low enthusiasm? Questions about Biden’s age (Trump’s too), whether Biden can hold on to Black and young voters are a growing concern. Plus, many people believe the presidential candidates have already been decided, so why bother to vote. How can the candidates and political parties energize Black and Brown voters and why voting matters? Panelists: Renée Graham, Associate Editor, Opinion Columnist, and author of the weekly newsletter, Outtakes, The Boston Globe.

Black Dolls Inspire and Empower Black and Brown Children's Identity
Black dolls have been around since the 1800’s, created in different shapes, sizes and styles, but Black or multiethnic dolls were hard to come by. Over the years finding a Black or multicultural doll has improved. Children of color seeing and having a doll that looks like them in skin tone and hair texture is empowering and celebratory, as dolls can aid in a child’s development, their ability to imagine and comprehend their individuality. Dolls can also offer a reflection or point of view in society. The well-known doll study by Kenneth and Mamie Clark was pivotal during the Brown v. Board of Education case. In this episode celebrating Black History Month, this episode discusses the history of dolls, dollmakers, dolls in pop culture, beauty, race, gender and identity. Kristen L. Pope hosts. Panelists: Widline Pyrame, Founder and CEO of Fusion Dolls. Debra Britt, Founder and Executive Director of the National Black Doll Museum of History & Culture in North Attleborough, Mass. Lisa Simmons, Artistic Executive Director of the Roxbury International Film Festival. Dr. Tahirah Abdullah-Swain, Associate Professor of Psychology, UMass Boston.
