Changes In Segregation Since 1952
Feb. 23, 2016, 6:50 p.m.
In May, 1954 the United States Supreme Court unanimously declared, âsegregation in public education is a denial of the equal protection of the laws.â Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, was a leader of many that gave strength and support to the initial struggles for equal civil rights and equal access for all people regardless of skin color. Now 62 years later the concept of affirmative action admission policies for racial equality in public universities continues.
In this 2004 archive edition of Radio Curious we visit with Dr. Elizabeth Allen, now a Professor Emeritus of Nursing at the University of Michigan. As a high school student in 1957, Dr. Allen was one of the first African-American students to integrate the West Virginia high schools. Later she was a Captain in the U.S. Army as Combat Nurse in Viet Nam, prior to obtaining a Masterâs Degree and Ph.D. in nursing and becoming a professor of nursing at the University of Michigan.
This is the first of a two part series recorded in April 2004, in commemoration of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, recorded in late April 2004, Dr. Elizabeth Allen and I began our visit with her description the changes in racial segregation between 1954 and 2004.
Dr. Elizaeth Allen is an avid romance reader and recommends any book written by Linda Howard. She also recommends âThe Price of Loyaltyâ by David Suskind with former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill.
This interview as originally broadcast in May 2004.
Tim Dickinson: Sunshine State In The Dark
Feb. 23, 2016, 6:03 p.m.
Think about the sunniest states in the U.S. Florida, the place that calls itself "the sunshine state" is sure to come to mind. Indeed, the solar industry considers Florida to be the state with the third greatest rooftop solar potential in the country. So the place must be almost totally off the grid at this point, right? Well, no. Florida boasts only 9,000 homes with solar rooftops, while New York, a state with a similar sized population, and a much less hospitable weather profile, has 25,000. What is going on with Florida? Do people there just really like to pay more for their electricity, or, is it something else? Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio is Rolling Stone reporter Tim Dickinson, who has just completed an excellent piece of investigative journalism on Florida and the role the Koch brothers play in thwarting the use of the world's most renewable and abundant power source.
Fukushima, Five Years Later - Arnie Gundersen
Feb. 23, 2016, 5:45 p.m.
As of February 2016 Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds Associates is on a one month speaking tour of Japan to assess the status of the cleanup. He arrives at a crucial moment. Even though polls show that at least 70% of Japanese do not want the nuclear power plants reopened that were shut down 5 years ago, the Abe government is determined to put many of them back on line and has begun the process. And to make things worse the Japanese government is planning to burn plutonium mixed with uranium in their aging reactors, a practice that has been abandoned in the US due to the high risk.
This program includes a phone report from the ghost towns around Fukushima and an in depth analysis of the collusion between the electric power industry, banks and government in Japan
In 2008 Gundersen's wife Maggie formed the non-profit Fairewinds Energy Education. Their website features videos and pod-casts as well as blog posts on current events, expert witness reports on nuclear safety issues, a book list, media coverage and much more. http://www.fairewinds.org/
As a young man Arnie Gundersen believed in the promise of nuclear power. He was a licensed reactor operator and managed and coordinated projects at 70 nuclear power plants in the US. However he became increasingly more aware of the high risks while at the same time observing serious safety breaches. He spoke out and became a whistle blower. After 20 years as nuclear engineer and executive, Gundersen was fired from his job in 1990.

Dimi Khalidi and Judith Butler on the nationwide epidemic of attempts to suppress Palestine advocacy
Feb. 22, 2016, 2:04 p.m.
As most people who are concerned about Israel's brutal, one-sided treatment of Palestine and Palestinians know, Zionists in this country have spread the idea that criticizing Israel is "antisemitic" and shouldn't be tolerated. To those who have adopted this fallacy, activists' increasingly successful campaign for BDS (boycotts, divestment, and sanctions) is nothing less than anathema, and must be stamped out decisively.
On the one hand Israel tries to make light of the BDS movement, but on the other hand it is going all out to oppose it. To that end, they have employed subservient officials and politicians to develop means to suppress or punish BDS efforts. Palestine Legal (palestinelegal.org) calls this program âThe Palestine Exception to Free Speech."
For our feature presentation today, we have an interview conducted by the Real News Network out of Baltimore of Dimi Khalidi of Palestine Legal and, representing Jewish Voice For Peace, Professor Judith Butler of the University of California, Berkeley.
Supporters of the BDS movement are now mobilizing to try to defeat the bills. In Maryland, activists say an anti-boycott bill a local Jewish group wanted to push for was defeated after the Freedom2Boycott coalition protested and lobbied against the measure. Some of the measures in other states have passed in the Assembly or Senate in a state, but have not yet been signed by the governors of the state.
In Massachusetts, where this show is made, similar Bill HD-4156 was sponsored by 25 state reps. It remains pending in Committee,
These measures are the latest line in a series of attacks the BDS movement has faced in state legislatures around the U.S. since 2014, when the American Studies Association passed a resolution in favor of boycotting Israel. Last year, twenty-two anti-BDS bills were introduced in U.S. legislatures.
One of the most alarming bills is being debated in New York, which became the first state to consider anti-BDS bills in 2014, but not the first state to pass a measure. (In May 2015, South Carolinaâs government became the first to pass legislation penalizing businesses that boycott countries South Carolina trades with. Boycotts of Israel were the clear target.)
