A
Welcome
to
Columbus
connections:
I
am
your
host
David
Britt
and,
as
you
know,
it
is
now
February,
Black,
History,
Month
and
during
that
month
a
lot
of
great
things
happen
in
the
community
and
for
the
community.
Now
it's
not
just
Black
History
Month
being
that
were
African
American.
This
is
American
History
Month,
it's
about
coming
together
in
a
segment
of
the
community
that
has
worked
and
been
through
things
and
how
that
benefits.
A
A
B
B
The
black
community
is
people
always
think
about
slavery
and
they
think
about
the
Civil
War
and
the
aftermath
of
the
Civil
War.
But
with
black
history
we
try
to
show
what
a
human
being
can
do
when
they've
been
downtrodden
when
they've
been
subjugated
and
how
people
can
pull
themselves
up
and
be
somebody
and
that's
what
black
history
is
all
about,
because
we're
intertwined
and
I
think
it's
important
not
only
to
recognize
black
history
but
recognize
Hispanic
and
Jewish
and
everything
else,
and
we
do
that.
B
But
I
think
the
black
population
has
always
had
a
significant
impact
on
the
United
States
because
remember
they
came
here
in
bondage
and
so
to
me.
It's
just
absolutely
part
of
my
life
to
show
what
people
can
do
when
they've
been
subjugated.
As
I
said,
and
now
you
look
at
the
history
and
what
they've
accomplished
the
black
people
for
this
country,
and
here
in
our
community,
we
have
the
Isaiah
huge
leaves.
B
We
have
the
judge
allies,
we
have
the
Evolet,
Turner,
pews
and
I
can
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
talk
about,
some
of
the
great
Bob
Wright
I
mean,
for
heaven's
sake,
he's
the
chairman
of
the
Smithsonian
Black
History
Museum.
It's.
A
Interesting
that
you
bring
up
museums
because
of
course,
of
course,
african-american
history,
of
course,
did
not
start
with
slavery
and
even
in
our
own
Museum
in
Columbus,
we
have
a
lot
of
times,
we'll
have
African
art
and
art
from
West
Africa
and
things
that
show
our
historic
standpoint
from
prior
to
slavery.
In
there
that's
not.
B
Helping
now
you're
absolutely
correct,
it
goes
back
and
it
can
bring
tradition
and
to
show
exactly
what's
going
on
so
that
people
can
understand,
you
know
basically
we're
intertwined
yeah
and
when
you
start
the
meaning
one.
You
just
mean
yourself
absolutely
when,
when
all
your
life
is
based
upon
trying
to
subjugate
other
people
and
demean
them
and
and
refuse
to
understand
their
great
history
and
the
luxury
of
what
they've
brought
to
our
country,
then
all
you're
doing
is
demeaning
yourself.
Yeah.
B
B
Congressman
Bishop
has
been
just
absolutely
instrumental
leaves
taking
over
from
the
former
Congressman
Mike
Collins,
and
it's
interesting
to
know
that,
prior
to
congressman
Bishop,
the
two
congress
people
that
were
involved
were
were
white
because
they
understood
the
importance
of
black
history
and,
of
course,
miss
bishop,
who
is
the
clerk
of
the
municipal
court,
has
been
instrumental
in
working
with
us,
and
you
have
some
great
great
people
involved,
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
other
great
corporations,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
Fair.
It's
on
the
19th.
B
C
A
B
Good
time
absolutely
former
Secretary
of
the
army
at
one
time
and
Senator
Barack
Obama,
who
has
been
our
president
for
twice,
was
here
and
I,
told
him
and
congressman
Bishop
can
verify
that
because
he
was
there
and
you'll
see
a
picture
of
me
and
and
the
President
Obama
signing
a
book
as
a
senator.
At
that
time
and
congressman
Bishop
and
I
told
him.
I
said
your
remarks
were
excellent.
One
of
these
days,
you're
gonna,
be
President
and
then
I
wrote
him
a
letter
which
he
never
responded
to.
A
When
you,
when
we
hear
a
black
history
breakfast
and
even
when
we
hear
Obama,
let's
be
honest,
that
may
alienate
and
polarize
some
people,
but
at
Bicester
breakfast,
it's
so
motivation
and
so
great
for
anybody
from
any
walk
of
life.
For
any
political
standpoint.
Any
racial
standpoint
to
see
just
they're,
coming
together
of
great
citizens
in
our
city
well
and.
B
And
and
I
remind
people
when
they
talk
about
these
things,
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
religion
as
such,
but
if
you
go
back
into
the
Hebrew
Hebraic
a
Christian
tradition
and
you
go
back
to
Micah
and
when
he
says
what's
expected
of
you
old
man
and
that
to
do
justice
and
love
mercy
and
walk
humbly
with
God.
And
how
can
you
do
justice
if
you
demean
other
people
and,
of
course
Christ
when
he
was
asked
by
a
lawyer,
you
know
what
what
do
you
need?
B
How
do
I
get
it
to
him
and
he
said
well,
doctor
love
thy
God
with
all
our
heart
soul
and
mind.
That's
the
first
and
Great
Commandment
and
the
second
is
like
unto
it
love
thy
neighbor
and
he
never
different--
put
an
adjective
who
your
neighbor
is
and
then
the
powerbal
that
he
used
should
bring
to
mind
to
everybody
that
professes
any
type
of
religion.
Really,
your
neighbor
was
a
Samaritan,
a
despised
group
who
helped
the
Jewish
person
who
was
beaten
and
robbed,
and
then
he
told
the
innkeeper
if
there's
money,
that
I
owe
you.
B
Let
me
know,
I'll
be
coming
back.
Who
is
your
neighbor
and
the
lawyer
said
the
Samaritan
and
that's
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make
and
we're
all
neighbors
we're
all
God's
children?
If
I
have
been
saying,
if
you
profess
some
degree
of
religiosity,
you
cannot
do
me.
You've
got
to
honor
all
peoples,
and
this
is
a
chance
to
honor
the
black
community.
Absolutely.
A
B
We
had
a
murder,
a
black
man
was
killed
and
I
was
in
New
York
for
a
Vietnam
reunion,
with
my
wife
and
I
was
called
by
Carmen
Keveza
and
Barbara
and
Colonel
Jim
Jackson
and
said:
here's
what
happened
and
so
Stacey
and
I
cut.
Our
visit
short
flew
down,
met
with
the
family,
and
then
we
organized
breakfast
for
members
of
the
black
and
the
white
community.
The
leadership.
A
B
In
my
opinion,
all
I'm
not
satisfied
with
it
necessarily,
but
the
fact
is
people
trusted
us,
and
so
we
got
together
and
we
were
able
to
come-
and
you
didn't
see,
destruction
and
and
and
horror
going
on
in
this
city,
because
people
got
together
black
and
white,
Christian,
Jew,
Islamic
and
and
here's
the
way
we're
gonna
move
forward
on
this
thing,
and
we
did
we
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
was.
It's
easy
to
talk,
but
by
god
people
are
going
to
judge
you
not
by
your
mouth,
but
what
you're
willing
to
do?
B
B
You
cannot
hide
your
head
in
the
sand
as
an
ostrich
or
pull
it
in
as
a
turtle.
If
there
are
problems,
you've
got
to
address
them,
because
if
you
don't
address
them,
they
get
a
mover
like
a
cancer
and
eat
you
up
so
be
honest,
address
what
you
don't
exist
and
move
on,
that's
what
the
city
has
done
and
it's
doing
because
it's
never
an
ending
statement.
I
mean
this
breakfast
is
not
gonna
cure
anything!
It's
going
to
alleviate
it's
going
to
show
what
our
neighbors
are
doing,
but
we've
got
to
do
it
constantly.
B
D
B
A
B
It
like
that's
a
good
question
to
me.
It's
networking
talking
to
people
young
people
especially
will
learn
what
it's
all
about,
what
their
history
is,
if
they're
black
or
what,
if
they're
white
young
students
they're
going
to
learn,
hey
here's
the
history
of
my
neighbor
in
one
aspect
of
it,
so
you
network,
you'll,
have
a
good
meal.
You'll
hear
a
great
speaker.
You'll
meet
some
of
the
leadership
and
you'll
see
people
that
care
about
you,
because
otherwise
they
wouldn't
be
there.
Mm-Hmm.
D
A
B
Always
it's
always
the
same.
You've
got
to
put
work
into
it
and
you've
got
to
reach
out
to
the
community.
You've
got
to
reach
out
to
the
corporation.
The
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
on
board
mm-hmm
Brian
Anderson
is
absolutely
fully
committed.
They
will
have
a
table,
they've
committed
over
a
thousand
dollars,
and-
and
so
it's
not
sitting
by
well
here's
what
we
did
last
year
and
it
was
great
and
and
so
you
know
we
can
know
it's
constant
push
every
year.
If
it's
gonna
be
a
success,
you
have
to
work
on
it.
Oh
yeah.
A
E
Any
age
just
remember
the
rules
of
the
road
when
you're
out
enjoying
a
bike,
ride
and
motorist
when
you're
sharing
the
road
with
cyclists,
use
caution
and
give
at
least
three
feet
when
passing
bicycles
are
safe,
fun
and
sensible.
When
you
ride,
be
visible,
be
predictable
and
be
alert,
you'll
have
a
safe
ride
and
a
great
time.
Let's
get
there
together,
Georgia
a
message
from
the
governor's
office
of
Highway,
Safety
and
Georgia
bikes.
I
am
a
teenager.
I
am

C
This
ever
happened
to
you
and
you
didn't
know
who

it's
simple
doubt:

Our

and

Your
direct
link
to
city
service
welcome.
A
Back
to
Columbus
connections,
now
we
are
going
to
talk
about
something
that
doesn't
always
get
talked
about,
but
really
needs
to
be
talked
about,
because
it's
something
that
we
are
all
dealing
with
and
that's
a
mental
health,
but
well
that's
a
whole
series
of
conversations
right
there
by
itself.
So
why
not
looking
at
mental
health
and
children-
and
there
is
an
event-
that's
going
to
be
going
on
to
talk
about
that
and
just
bring
that
out
and
start
that
discussion.
A
It's
silence
the
shame
and
it's
being
done
by
a
great
group
of
a
great
couple
of
organizations,
but
primarily
by
dr.
Dolores
Tarver,
and
also
have
miss
Shannon
chambers
here
with
Jack
and
Jill
she's,
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
organizations
that
came
together
to
bring
this
event
to
you.
Welcome,
ladies
hey,
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
putting
on
an
event
like
this.
Now
it's
called
silence.
The
shame.
Will
it
be?
Yes,.
F
A
F
As
you
alluded
to
earlier,
mental
health
is
one
of
those
things
that
people
really
are
not
comfortable
addressing
and
our
families.
We
don't
talk
about
it.
We
don't
educate
our
youth
about
mental
health,
there's
a
lot
of
shame
we'll
go
to
our
doctors,
we'll
see
medical
providers
and
we
will
talk
about
the
physical
symptoms,
but
we
really
don't
like
addressing
the
mental
health
symptoms
because
it
makes
us
feel
like
we're
weak
or
that
something
is
wrong
with
us.
There's
a
lot
of
stigma,
this
use
of
crazy.
F
F
F
We
have
a
great
set
up.
First
of
all,
let
me
just
say
that
it
is
for
pre-k
so
four-year-olds
through
12th
grade,
so
we
have
large
lineup
events,
including
workshops
from
licensed
mental
health
providers
that
are
going
to
provide
education
about
bullying,
cyberbullying
anxiety,
depression,
substance,
abuse,
anger,
a
lot
of
the
things
that
our
young
people
deal
with
may
not
necessarily
know
the
words
to
describe
it's
just
called
bad.
A
F
Often
times
even
educators
will
say,
our
kids
are
just
bad.
What
is
going
on
with
our
kids
now
we
need
to
do
something
with
them,
but
the
truth
is
we
don't
understand,
what's
going
on
with
them
one,
because
we
haven't
asked
them,
but
two
because
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
at
home
with
them.
A
lot
of
our
young
people
are
raising
themselves.
They
get
themselves
up
in
the
morning.
They
have
to
worry
about
getting
themselves
fed
and
dressed
into
school.
There's
a
lot
of
responsibility
to
put
on
a
young
person.
F
They
may
be
taking
care
about
the
siblings
in
their
home,
and
so,
when
we
start
talking
about
this
kind
of
programming,
we
really
want
to
look
at
allowing
people
have
risk
factors.
And
yes,
the
answer
is
yes,
yeah
a
lot
of
times,
we
feel
like
young
people,
don't
go
through
anything,
they
don't
have
any
problems,
they
don't
have
any
issues
and
we
want
to
demystify
that
because
that's
simply
not
true
young
people,
experience
anxiety,
you
don't
have
to
be
40
years
old
and
have
gone
through
unemployment
to
experience
anxiety.
Sometimes
it's
biological,
sometimes
our
kids.
F
It's
passed
on
to
them
by
other
family
members,
but
again
we're
not
talking
about
that.
So
our
kids,
don't
art
they're
risk
factors,
so
part
of
our
programming
is
going
to
be
about
providing
education.
What
is
mental
health?
What
is
mental
illness?
How
do
I
know
when
it's
not
just
grief?
That's
gonna
pass
in
a
few
weeks,
maybe
to
where
it's
more
clinical
depression,
where
I
haven't
been
getting
out
of
the
bed
for
weeks,
I'm,
irritable,
I'm
Moody.
F
A
F
Our
goal
is
not
to
tell
you
that
you
have
to
be
okay
and
happy
and
joyful.
All
the
time
is
to
let
you
know
that
when
you're
not
feeling
okay,
we
got
support
for
you,
okay,
and
so
another
part
of
the
program
is
here's
how
you
can
come
see
when
you're,
not
okay
and
a
lot
of
times.
Our
young
people
are
not
exposed
to
mental
health
providers.
Most
of
us
probably
didn't
meet
a
mental
health
provider
until
we
were
wrong
yes
and
oftentimes.
F
F
F
G
So
we
here
in
Columbus
Georgia,
were
led
by
our
president
Audrey
Tillman,
and
we
also
have
our
regional
director
here,
Courtney
sure
brown,
but
Jack
and
Jill
of
America.
It
is
a
membership
organization
of
mothers
from
children
ranging
from
2
to
19
and
we're
dedicated
to
nurturing
children,
african-american
children
to
be
our
leaders.
So
one
of
our
national
initiatives
is,
you
know,
silence
in
the
shame
of
mental
illness,
many
of
our
children
in
the
community.
They
have
these
mental
illness.
Just
like
I'm,
dr.
G
traverse
said
they
have
depression,
they
deal
with
bullying
and
things
at
school
and
we
want
to
dismantle
the
stigma
in
our
community,
so
us
in
Jack
and
Jill,
we
believe
in
our
children
we
believe
in
their
health,
their
physical
health,
as
well
as
their
mental
health.
So
when
this
partnership
came
to
us,
we
jump
all
over
it
because
we
care
about
our
children
and
that's
what
our
organization
is
about.
Yes,.
A
F
Is
it
absolutely?
There
are
a
lot
of
factors
that
contribute
to
mental
health
environment
is
what
you
are
leading
to
alluding
to
what
goes
around
on
around
us.
So,
yes,
I'm
more
likely
to
have
mental
illness.
If
I
don't
have
resources.
Basic
needs
met
in
my
household.
So
if
I
have
to
worry
about
food
clothing
and
shelter,
then
yes,
I'm
gonna
be
at
high
risk
for
mental
illness.
Then
perhaps
someone
that
isn't,
but
that's
not
the
only
factor
and
that's
not
always
necessarily
true
heredity-
plays
a
huge
part
in
that.
F
The
things
we
don't
want
to
talk
about
in
our
families,
mama
has
schizophrenia.
Now
nobody
is
going
to
call
that
schizophrenia.
What
they're
gonna
say
is
mama
had
a
nervous
breakdown
and
she
had
to
go
away
to
the
hospital
for
a
little
while,
but
why
that's
important
is
because
this
this
age
of
young
people
they're
at
risk,
if
they're
gonna
have
a
psychotic
break
they're
falling
within
this
age
range,
often
for
the
first
time
they
experience
psychotic
symptoms.
F
But
if
I
don't
know
what
a
psychotic
symptom
is
or
that
their
grandma
had
risk
factors,
I
don't
know
to
be
on
the
lookout
for
that.
Also,
if
I
have
a
family
history
of
addiction,
which
is
something
we
also
wanted,
a
I've
got
a
drunk
uncle
in
my
family,
but
there
is
a
heredity
that
comes
here
that
comes
along
with
having
substance
abuse
issues
too.
So,
if
I'm
at
higher
risk
for
addiction
potential,
then
I
need
to
know
that
I
need
to
know
that
most
people
in
my
family
are
alcoholics.
F
F
And
then
we
also
have
our
yoga
instructors
from
art
of
yoga
that
are
coming
to
talk
about
how
to
calm
the
mind
when
you're
anxious,
when
you're
worried,
when
you're
stressed
out
how
to
be
able
to
deal
with
that
without
having
to
go
to
smoke,
marijuana
or
go
get
something
to
drink
or
pop
pills,
which
has
become
very
common
for
our
young
people
too.
They're
taking
a
lot
of
things
that
are
prescribed
to
their
parents,
slipping
them
out
of
the
medicine
cabinet.
The
parents
aren't
counting
pills.
F
A
F
That
is
a
good
question,
a
lot
of
times
with
young
people.
You
may
not
see
the
vegetative
signs
of
depression,
so
the
laying
around
they're
not
feeling
like
doing
anything.
You
may
see
a
manifesting
anger.
We
call
anger.
Depression
turned
inward,
so
I'm
not
doing
well,
but
instead
of
me
saying:
hey
I,
don't
feel
good.
I
feel
sad.
I
might
be
throwing
stuff
kicking
stuff.
Cursing
you
out.
Yelling
at
you
mood
swings
all
erratic
one
moment.
I
might
be
fine.
The
next
moment
I
might
be
all
upset
and
you're
thinking
bad.
C
F
Are
you
so
angry?
That's
the
question
that
we
need
to
be
asking
our
young
people.
We
don't
come
into
this
world
angry
this
way.
Angers,
learned
and
anger
is
one
of
those
emotions
that
we
call
a
secondary
emotion.
So
there's
always
something
underneath
it
our
job
to
teach
our
young
people.
What's
underneath
that
anger,
anger
also
serves
the
purpose
of
keeping
people
away,
so
maybe
I'm
being
abused.
Mm-Hmm
and
I.
Don't
want
people
touching
me
right.
So
I'm
gonna
be
angry,
because
that
reduces
the
likelihood
that
somebody.
G
F
Again,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
having
defense
mechanisms;
let's
just
teach
you
some
healthy
ones,
unless
I
also
teach
you
that
it's
okay
to
tell
people
hey,
somebody
is
doing
some
stuff
to
me.
That's
not
okay,
which
is
also
something
we
don't
talk
about
in
our
families,
this
history
of
incest
or
abuse
that
occurs
in
families.
There's
a
lot
of
shame
around
that,
and
so
our
young
people
don't
feel
like
they
can
tell
anybody.
They're.
G
F
The
shame
it
is
going
to
be
Saturday
February,
the
17th
it
starts
at
10:00
a.m.
it
ends
at
1:00
p.m.
we
are
providing
free
lunch
and
snacks,
so
they
will
be
well
covered
throughout
their
day
and
it
is
going
to
be
at
South,
Girard
school
Phoenix,
City
pre-k
through
12th
grade
we're,
encouraging
parents
to
come
as
well.
We'll
have
resources
for
parents.
We
want
parents
to
come
because
if
you
think
your
young
person
is
gonna
say
to
you,
hey
I
want
to
go
to
Simon's
the
same,
that's
not
happening,
so
you
bring
them.
F
G
F
What
can
they
do?
Well,
first
of
all,
I'm,
so
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
the
providers
that
are
going
to
be
there
Saturday
February
17th
cover
the
gambit.
So,
if
you're
worried
about
having
insurance,
we
got
you.
There
are
providers
in
this
community
that
see
people
on
a
sliding
fee
scale
and
some
that
will
see
folks
at
no
cost.
So
you
don't
ever
have
to
worry
about
money
being
prohibitive
in
terms
of
nuclear
health.
Now
every
place
doesn't
so
we
need
to
let
people
know
what
places
do
so.
F
B
F
Are
looking
we're
not
perfect?
Most
of
us
have
been
a
therapy
ourselves,
if
not
all
of
us,
so
we've
been
on
the
couch
as
well,
and
so
there
is
no.
There
is
no
judgment.
There
is
no
shame
when
you
come
to
get
mental
health
services.
This
is
a
safe,
supportive
environment
and
when
I
like
about
people
coming
to
therapies,
you
don't
have
to
see
me
again
every
day,
and
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
this
information
coming
back
to
slap
you
in
the
face
somewhere.
So
you
tell
your
loose
lips.
