Writing a New Story In Mississippi

59m | Jun 22, 2023

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

Listeners will discover ways to write a new story of racial and social injustices.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Mississippi is replete with stories of injustice: lynchings, racial equities, health care disparities, poor water supply for people of color, and more. There have been many changes since slavery, Jim Crow, and the like but inequities remain. How do we write a new story for Mississippi? It's time we told a different story and time we righted some wrongs.

Join Dr. Jenkins as she sits down with Fabian Nelson, who is running for the Mississippi House of Representative. If elected he will be Mississippi's first "out" LGBTQIA lawmaker. Fabian comes from a lineage of social justice advocates including his grandmother who was the first African American nurse to integrate the hospital in Yazoo City, and his father who was one of the first African-Americans to graduate from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. Listen in for insights on how to write new stories of racial and social inequities.
