When renowned educator and reformer Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955) founded the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) in 1935, it became a powerful force for social change. Through its publications and programs, the NCNW has targeted a wide range of issues, including voting rights, international relations, education, employment, and health care. On March 22nd, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture will hold a Community Day event to celebrate the legacy of Bethune and other Black women social change agents, both past and present. The Community Day event is held in connection with the museum’s ongoing exhibition Forces for Change: Mary McLeod Bethune and Black Women’s Activism, as well as to celebrate Women’s History Month in the United States. |

“We would wake to find my father cooking pancakes and playing Irish traditional music throughout our house, seasoning them with the nutmeg and cinnamon bark we had gotten from our last family trip to Dominica.” “[This past] February 7th, I had the incredible opportunity of joining founder Dennis Brownlee and board member Christine Kinealy of the African American Irish Diaspora Network (AAIDN) for the February First Friday breakfast and panel discussion at The Consulate General of Ireland, New York. Following an inspiring introduction to the unique mission of AAIDN by Brownlee and an enlightening presentation on underrepresented Black abolitionist visitors of Ireland by Kinealy, “I shared my experience of finding AAIDN, recalling the generosity of Dr. Miriam Nyhan Grey — the beloved AAIDN board member, humanities advocate for Black, Brown & Green Voices & assistant professor at Mary Immaculate College… “To read more of Cíara’s story, visit the article below!” https://www.aaidnet.org/news-1/cara-emmanuel-shares-her-black-amp-irish-story |

Miranda Spivak at our June 2017 Roundtable, by Jason Miccolo Johnson.
A Rave for Miranda Spivak’s New Book
Longtime Roundtable member Miranda Spivak received a rave review in Publishers Weekly for her new book, “Backroom Deals in Our Backyards: How Government Secrecy Harms Our Communities and the Local Heroes Fighting Back, ” to be published in May by The New Press.
“Journalist Spivack debuts with a stunning survey of ‘accidental activists’ who faced down harm to their communities arising from malfeasance and deception in local government. Spivack argues that lack of transparency is the main avenue by which fraud and incompetence are able to flourish at the local level, and that the problem is growing, contributing to the erosion of the American public’s trust in ‘democratic governance.’ Her examples are deeply upsetting, each one more indicative of a society whose priorities have gone dangerously out of whack than the last. . . .”
Meanwhile, Miranda passes along some tips in this piece for “The Contarian” on Substack: “Looking for federal data? Go local. A Sunshine Week reminder that local governments have a lot of federal data, too.”

A Rarity: Finding the Original Names of the Enslaved
Some who were at our 2019 Roundtable commemorating the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans in the British Virginia colony may remember that we talked via Skype with filmmaker Zadi Zokou.
Zadi, a native of Ivory Coast, had produced a documentary, “Black N Black,” reporting on what African Americans and African immigrants to the U.S. think of each other. Later, he took a DNA test and found several hundred matches, some as close as fourth cousins, among African Americans. And he became an American citizen.
Now Zadi is working on a project on names, and on March 8 told his Facebook followers of a remarkable discovery:
“Found it! A 1743 slave manifest with the actual African names of the captives. They were deported from Sierra Leone, West Africa, to Newport, RI, aboard the Jolly Bachelor, a ship owned by slave trader Peter Faneuil. A good intro for my upcoming documentary OUR NAMES! ” (Pictured above is the manifest.)
Zadi later messaged that he additionally came upon something more conventional for those times. “I also found another document related to this one. On the bill of sale, the names had disappeared, replaced with Negro Boy, Girl, Man and Woman.” He says he still has a way to go before his project reaches fruition.
From IRE: Nominations for Don Bolles Medal Due April 1
Established in 2017, IRE’s Don Bolles Medal recognizes investigative journalists who have exhibited extraordinary courage in standing up against intimidation or efforts to suppress the truth about matters of public importance. Who should we honor this year? Nominations are due April 1. To submit a nomination, please fill out this form. The medal was created in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the Arizona Project, an effort led by IRE to finish the work of Don Bolles, an investigative journalist killed in 1976 in retaliation for his reporting. The project’s main message: Even if you kill a reporter, you can’t kill the story. Past recipients of the Don Bolles Medal include the Marion County Record, the late Jeff German of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and Russian journalists Roman Anin and Roman Badanin. |

‘How to Communicate Effectively With Journalists’
Share Your Story – Communicate Effectively with Journalists Indigenous leaders and grassroots organizers have important stories to tell, but many are not accustomed to working with journalists and media. This contributes to Indigenous Peoples, issues, and the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) not getting the media attention they deserve. To address this gap, the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) and Grist co-produced a media training program for Indigenous leaders. During this crash course webinar, participants will learn how to hone and craft their messages; learn storytelling techniques and tools, and understand the story components journalists want and how to communicate them effectively to journalists and media. Wednesday, April 9, 2025 12:00pm ET/ 9:00am PT Panelists: Angel Moore (Peguis First Nation), APTN Video Journalist Graham Lee Brewer (Cherokee), AP National Reporter, Race and Ethnicity Moderator: Tristan Ahtone (Kiowa), Editor at Large, Grist Moderator |

From New York: Media Watch
“Alan Singer, PhD, Robert Anthony, and Eric V Tait Jr. assess the tRUMP continued assault on the Constitution, the Federal Government, and individual rights, as he furthers his attempts to turn the USA into an autocratic WhiteSupremacist Christian Nation:
“A) the illegal ICE detention/arrest of Mahmoud Khalil at his Columbia University apartment on bogus anti-semitism and ‘actions in support of Hamas’ charges; Jewish Educational Community pushback against this ‘Third-Reich/Nazi-like’ anti-Constitutional action by the tRUMP administration.
“B) tRUMPs admins use of cutting Federal Research Grants to these Universities in order to get them to do its bidding is a major cudgel that tends to keep them from pushing back against their outrageous demands.
“C) the destruction of the Department of Education is now on ”’full-blast/full speed ahead’ primarily because it’s goals and mission was about keeping education on an equal footing for every student, no matter race, gender, disability-or-non, in this country, and of course in what’s supposed to be a white-male-supremacist, Christian nationalist nation, that’s definitely verboten. . . .”

Collaborative Journalism Summit Set for Denver in May

This year’s Collaborative Journalism Summit is set for May 15-16 at the Delta Hotels Denver Thornton in Denver. The schedule is coming together — and we are excited, to say the least. . . .
Check out the CJS2025 theme and keynotes
We’re thrilled to announce two powerful keynote sessions for the 2025 Collaborative Journalism Summit that embody our theme: “Partnerships with a purpose: Collaborations that produce positive community impact.”
- First, we’re happy to welcome Ayanna Watkins and Wendi Thomas from MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, one of the country’s leading nonprofit news organizations that reports at the intersection of poverty, power, and policy in Memphis. MLK50’s courageous reporting has erased nearly $12 million in medical debt for impoverished patients, increased wages for the lowest-paid minimum wage hospital workers, and stopped a private-equity-owned doctor’s group from unscrupulous medical collections lawsuits — if that’s not an example of direct, positive community impact, we don’t know what is!
- Our second keynote will focus on mutual aid (not journalism!) as we welcome the folks behind Appalachia Relief, which originally launched as Asheville Relief following Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on Western North Carolina. Appalachia Relief empowers “ordinary people with open-source tech for crowdsourced mutual aid and disaster relief.” After Hurricane Helene hit, people in the area couldn’t access basic resources, and information flow ground to a halt. A small group of volunteers got together to figure out this question: What needed to be done to get critical information by and for impacted communities out there?
Plus check out these inspiring discussions!
- Press Forward: How the nation’s largest collaborative of media funders is working together to support the industry
- Covering statehouses: How student reporters are collaborating to fill information gaps in state policy news
- How the Statewide News Collective devised a method to measure hard-to-track community impact
- Collaborating with academic experts and non-news partners to fill coverage gaps
- Legal checkup with ProJourn: Protect your news collaborative from legal risks
- How Chicago media used AI and WhatsApp to reach migrant audiences
All that and more in the coming weeks on the CJS schedule page!
‘Unprecedented’ Paris Exhibit Honors 150 Black Artists
Heading for Paris? “An unprecedented exhibition at the Pompidou Center in Paris explores the presence and influence of Black artists in the city from the 1950s to 2000, offering a vibrant immersion in France’s cosmopolitan capital and a history of anti-colonial, civil rights struggles,” Sylvie Corbet reported Tuesday for the Associated Press.
“The ‘Black Paris’ exhibition features the works of about 150 major artists of African descent, many of whom have never or rarely been displayed in France before. Running from March 19 to June 30, it’s one of the final shows before the museum closes for a five-year renovation later this year.
Éva Barois De Caevel, associate curator, said that the exhibition is ‘unprecedented,’ with more than 300 paintings and sculptures by artists of various backgrounds.
“ ‘Some are African Americans, some are Caribbeans, some are Africans, and some are Afro-descendants,’ said Barois De Caevel, adding that the focus of the exhibit is not geography or race, but rather ‘Black consciousness,’ shaped by the history of slavery and experience of racism shared by Black artists. . . .”
