Author: Josh Grimes June 29, 2020 Duration: 1:25:36

In this special broadcast, a panel of ten will speak on Race, the Civil Rights Movement, and Juneteenth. I spoke with this panel between Friday, June 19th, and Friday, June 26th. The panel includes Dr. Jody Allen, an Assistant Professor of History at William & Mary, and Director of The Lemon Project; Dr. Charles Ford, a professor of History at Christopher Newport University in the Department of History; Jonelle Brown, a 2020 graduate of Christopher Newport University; William "Billy" Tucker, a senior in the Christopher Newport University Class of 2021; Samantha Willis, an award-winning journalist, and writer in the Richmond region; Scott McKeag, a Social Studies Instructor at Cosby High School in Chesterfield County; Kendra Hughes, a counselor at Cosby High School in Chesterfield County; Dana Johnson, a Civics teacher at Tomahawk Creek Middle in Chesterfield County; and Ellen Neville, a History teacher at Tomahawk Creek Middle in Chesterfield County. 


Josh Grimes hosts MediaGrimes, a news podcast that digs into the stories shaping our immediate surroundings and the wider world. The focus here is on connection, drawing lines between local events in the Commonwealth and the larger national and international headlines that influence them. Each episode is built on the understanding that a major global event feels different when viewed from your own neighborhood, and that a local policy shift often echoes trends happening across the country. You'll hear a straightforward analysis of current events, avoiding sensationalism in favor of context. This isn't about just recapping the headlines you've already seen; it's about piecing together the how and why, offering a clearer picture of the forces at play. The MediaGrimes podcast operates from a simple premise: that news is not a series of isolated incidents but a continuous flow, and making sense of it requires looking at the full map, from your own backyard to distant capitals. Tune in for a grounded, thoughtful take on the week's developments, where the conversation is as much about implications as it is about facts.
