Dr. Carlton Wilson is from Warrenton, North Carolina. Working through his roots, he is helping students to soar. He is the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at North Carolina Central University. This includes the History, English, Mass Communication, Modern Foreign Languages, and Music and Theatre departments to name a few. How he got from Warrenton to his current position started with a teacher in his high school forcing him to read the “Souls of Black Folk.” Dr. Wilson will tell you at that tender age he didn’t understand most of it but he knew his teacher was excited about it. Dr. Wilson went on to get a phD. in History. We talk about how he now balances administrative, research, and a teaching load. His tale is a case study in how a person can grow into a scholar.
Dr. Nell I. Painter joins me. She has lead an accomplished academic career. A professor at Princeton, she has focused on craving her own path with her research and now her art. We start by talking about her upbring in Oakland California. Dr. Painter and I then chat about two of her books: the History of White People and Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol. Her body of work speaks to her varied intellectual curiosity. Join this Richard Brown Radio Show it is a wonderful conversation and truly a gem.
Fredrick Germaine and I talk about his books, writing, and being an entrepreneur. His first book delves into the heart of relationships. His characters struggle with the hopes of living the good life and finding love. Fredrick tells how he started writing but didn’t think it was a way to make a living. Economic changes allowed him to revisit this. He gives us his hopes for his brand and a sneak peek at his forthcoming novel. Listen to this Richard Brown Radio Show.
Carol A Francois and P Segal are the authors of The Adventures of Sasha and Malia at the White House. They join me on this Richard Brown Show. We talk about the origin of the book, the awards, and the future comings and goings of Sasha and Malia in the White House. This is a wonderful piece of fiction sure to inspire conversations about U.S. history and our youth. I am honored to share this historical conversation on this Richard Brown radio show.
Jimi Izrael and I talk about his book the Denzel Principle: Why Black Women Can't Find Good Black Men and his life paradigm. Jimi is on NPR weekly and is rarely at a loss for words. This Richard Brown radio show is no different.
