In our 1st hour we'll discuss some recent remarks by Republican Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich who called Pres. Obama a "Food Stamp President". He's putting out misinformation about African-Americans and welfare.

In our 2nd hour we'll discuss how efforts by a group of Tea Party activist in Tennessee will remove references to Slavery in school books. They also want to remove references of the Founding Founders being slave owners? Did you know that the Founding Fathers collectively owned over 1,400 slaves. We'll discuss "Should The History Of Slavery Be Taught In School?". Why are they trying to "Whitewash" history? What are they afraid of?

In our 3rd hour we'll discuss African-American (Black) History Month which starts in February. Will you celebrate it? Why or why not? We want to hear from you. Do you know the History of Black History Month? Did you know that the month of February was not given to us by Europeans to celebrate? You don't want to miss this discussion.
