The Black Perspective: June 15, 2025

This week on The Black Perspective, we’re spotlighting culture, community, and connection.

Misty Jordan introduces us to the creator of a beloved children’s character who’s using multimedia to make learning fun and shares details about his company’s upcoming Juneteenth event.

On The Color Between the Lines, Esther Dillard speaks with genealogist Nicka Sewell-Smith, who is helping Black families across the country reclaim and trace their ancestry. 

Amber Payton sits down with two of the visionaries behind the Dear Summer Festival to learn how they transformed a cultural moment into a multi-city celebration of Black joy.

Plus, we revisit Mike Eiland’s conversation with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency about homebuying programs making a real difference in his home state. 

And finally, we close out the show with powerful commentary from Roland Martin, James T. Harris, and Mo Kelly.
