    Civil Rights

    On August 19, 1958, 7-year-old Ayanna Najuma, and a group of 12 students together with a High School teacher named Clara Luper, set the stage for a civil rights protest that would sweep the nation in the 1960's and continues to resonate in modern America through movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and his practice of nonviolent protest, the plan was simple. The students would occupy the 'white' only lunch counter of a drug store called Katz and ask ask to be served a hamburger and a coca-cola. When they were inevitably denied service on the grounds that the lunch counter was for 'whites only' they would refuse to leave and stay seated in their seats until closing. This sit-in protest was one of the first in the civil rights movement, happening 18 months before black college students took seats at a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Over the next six years, Ayanna and her fellow civil rights demonstrators, led one of the longest nonviolent sit-in protests in the United States desegregating almost every eating establishment in their home city of Oklahoma's capital. Ayanna was just 7-years-old when on a hot august day she took her place on a stool embracing a passion and purpose that would not only have an impact on her life, but arguably the life of every American who has come after. This is her story.   Host: Richard Janes Guest: Ayanna Najuma

    Screenwriting

    Hollywood screenwriter Jordan Roberts is probably best know for writing the 2005 Oscar winner for best feature documentary March of Penguins, or perhaps you'll have watched his 2014 Best Animated Feature Film Oscar Winner Big Hero 6.    When we talk about purpose, it's often thought that a true purpose needs to be grander than oneself, to serve a bigger cause. But what could set a greater example to the world than the compassionate healing of ones own soul so that it may shine bright for others experience. This is the domain of the artist. This is the domain of screenwriter, turned director, Jordan Roberts whose work has impacted millions of people all over the world with, as one film critic put it, a compassionate and healing voice for those who are suffering or going through tremendous struggle. She said of one of his movies: "It is like he's giving a huge hug that can be felt through the screen".   Host: Richard Janes
