Colorblind Remedies for Color-Conscious Wrongs
Photo Credit : Encyclyopedia Britanica
  In this program, the hosts discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to forbid race-conscious affirmative action  approaches to achieve diversity n higher education.  The discussion contrasts Justice Roberts’ pronouncement that decisions should be color-blind with Justice Jackson’s reminder that the country has been far from colorblind and the effects are not just historical but real in the present because of the intergenerational transmission of inequality.  Moreover, the “self-evident” truth that all are created equal has not been applicable to Black Americans.

Not in Our Stars, but in Ourselves: How The Supreme Court Undermined Its Own Reputation
Image Credit: Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States
In this episode, the hosts discuss the Roberts Court’s failure to adhere to precedent and the effect this is having on the public’s confidence in the Supreme Court.  Respect for precedents and the application of the principle of stare desisis provide constancy and comfort and avoids the appearance that the Court is swayed by political consideration.  Simple assertions that a prior decision was wrongly decided are inadequate to justify undermining the expectations of parties before the Court and the public at large.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022; A new hope for Black communities that have been divided, deprived, and denied opportunities to accumulate wealth
Tumblr media
EPISODE SUMMARY
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022: A new hope for Black communities that have been divided, deprived, and denied opportunities to accumulate wealth.
In this episode, the hosts discuss various policies and practices which have adversely affected Black communities and hindered the ability to build wealth. Also in the podcast are reasons why provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 can help begin the process of repairing some of the damage by fostering a community-based approach to environmental issues. Finally, Jamil tells the audience about the new company he founded with his brother, Jelani, Unified Ground.
A FEW KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
Historically, wealth has systematically been removed from black communities.
Often that wealth was removed in ways that left communities in less desirable land leading to climate change disproportionately affecting people of color.
It’s a great time to form partnerships that have the same goal of saving the planet and hopefully The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will be a big step for focusing on that goal. 
Unified Ground’s goal is to enable these partnerships. Its mission is to build technology to connect existing organizations and businesses to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments, with the goal to reduce the income and wealth gap and lift up communities of color.
MORE ABOUT UNIFIED GROUND
Vision
Our vision is to close the income and wealth gap in vulnerable communities because a sustainable planet is not possible without an equitable society.
Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable, low-income as well as Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities. We believe that strengthening the resource networks of these communities is an integral part of creating a sustainable planet. If communities can hold onto more resources, they will better address current climate emergencies and make sustainable choices.
 Mission
We are building the technology to connect existing networks of community organizations and businesses to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments,with the goal to reduce the income and wealth gap and lift up communities of color.
Problem
Demand for ESG investments, already a rapidly growing requirement for business, will increase as the markets make it a requirement for publicly traded companies. Social Impact funds have a continual need to find verifiably impactful community-based investments. Some states and municipalities across the US have aggressive goals to reduce carbon emissions. We can only achieve these goals with successful investments in vulnerable communities and communities of color. Historically, these customers have had trouble engaging successfully with communities and local vendors.  
Why The Time is Now
Climate Disasters are upon us - We are in the midst of another record season of fires, flood, drought, and hurricanes in the US.
Climate Impact will be a business requirement - The 2022 IRA represents landmark climate legislation in the US.  The SEC will have public companies report on their environmental impact starting with 2023. In addition to 2022 IRA, many states and cities are moving forward with aggressive climate policies
Business Stakeholders are putting the pressure on - Corporate boards and internal stakeholders are demanding goals and verifiable impact results.  Employees want to know their companies are not just committed to their climate and community impact goals, but making them a reality.
Solution
Unified Ground provides the services and technology platform to connect Environmental, Social, and Government investors with a network of community-based vendors and climate justice organizations. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will be a catalyst for Climate Technology and Environmental Justice.

From Loving vs Virginia to Roe vs Wade: Who gets to decide which rights get protected for Americans
Photo Credit: NYTimes.com 
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, the hosts discuss how the Loving v. Virginia decision barred States from prohibiting marriages because of the race of the participants, and the historical problem of “letting the States decide” the reach of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Highlighting the sectional differences and views on issues such as race and gender, they point out that the results are predictable and that it is reasonable to infer intent to thwart consensus.  Beginning with the Founding Fathers, and the racial compromises in the Constitution, the podcast outlines the continuing role of race in compromises leading up to the Civil War and beyond. There are those who have suggested that the issues in  Roe v. Wade should have been left to the States and sending it back to the States would be a good idea. Given the hyper-partisanship in politics today, the hosts question the reasonableness of this belief.  Compromise is only effective when both sides literally have a compromise position.
A FEW KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
The conflict between the concept of originalism and equal protection. (7:49)
We need to consider the real world as it exists now, when we compare the concept of originalism with the concept of a living constitution. (30:01)
If you aspire to greatness, you have to look forward and not be mired in the past. Loving vs Viriginia teaches us that we can have a brighter future if we allow everyone to be treated equally, and not be dragged down by this notion that there are lesser groups in the body politic. (37:20)

Brown vs. Board of Ed Anniversary
Photo credit: AP Images for Britannica.com
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, we're going to focus on one of the most talked about cases in Supreme Court history. On May 17 1954, in a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court held in Brown versus Board of Education, that in the field of public education, the doctrine of separate but equal had no place, and that separate educational facilities were inherently unequal.
A FEW KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
 In terms of what it meant to the health of the nation, Brown versus Board of Education was the most significant case in the history of the Supreme Court.
Part of what's in the DNA of this country is aspirational. And what Brown did was having a goal of providing equality. It's certainly true that we have fallen short in some of the things that we profess as a nation.
The difference between where we want to be and where we are, is the engine that drives change.
Judge Ellis read excerpts from the Appendix to the Congressional Globe, described here from https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwcg.html
 “The Globe, as it is usually called, contains the congressional debates of the 23rd through 42nd Congresses (1833-73). There are forty-six volumes in the series based on the table found in the Third Edition of Checklist of United States Public Documents 1789-1909, Volume 1B (pp. 1466-69).
The Globe is the third of the four series of publications containing the debates of Congress. It was preceded by the Annals of Congress and the Register of Debates and succeeded by the Congressional Record. The first five volumes of the Globe (23rd Congress, 1st Session through 25th Congress, 1st Session, 1833-37) overlap with the Register of Debates. Initially the Globe contained a "condensed report" or abstract rather than a verbatim report of the debates and proceedings. With the 32nd Congress (1851), however, the Globe began to provide something approaching verbatim transcription.
The contents of the appendix of each volume vary from Congress to Congress, but appendixes typically contain presidential messages, reports of the heads of departments and cabinet officers, texts of laws, and appropriations. Speeches not indexed or referenced on the pages reprinting the debates appear in the appendix as well.”
More specifically, I read from the 33rd Congress, Second Session.[1855]
The first page of the Appendix is  https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc30790/m1/1/?q=thirty-third
From the entry page you can jump to specific pages, and I read from page 234, Tennessee Senator
https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc30790/m1/248/?q=thirty-third
And page 236, Indiana Senator
