We started our Black History Month Wednesday program with a follow up with Dr. Anthony Jones, Director of Equity in the Ames Community School District, telling us about the positive outcomes from the Black Lives Matter Week of Action in the Ames Community School District. We had an unexpected announcement from Al Womble, chair of the Black Iowa Democratic Caucus, telling about the disruption in their scheduled speakers resulting by ZOOM meeting. Betty Andrews, president of the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP spoke in opposition to the anti-policing Legislative Study Bill 1140. And finally we spoke with Rachelle Chase author of "Creating the Black Utopia of Buxton Iowa," about the racially integrated coal mining town in southern Iowa.
