​In this episode of Lessons from the Screen, we will be looking at the On the Shoulders of Giants Series produced by Joseph Ward.  What started out as a Blog has now become a series of Books, a youtube series, and a podcast.  Going back to 2014 every other week, and sometimes more often than that, we have seen the series release a new figure and illustrated their contribution to Black People globally.  We are going to talk about this series, its impact, takeaways, and ways to move forward.

​In this episode of Lessons from the Screen we will be looking at the president's budget proposal and its potential impact on the community as well as things that we can learn. The Budget proposal was released Monday February 12 and while budget proposals from the executive office have to be approved by congress, they do tell a lot about the priorities of the administration as well as the party they represent and the people that elected them.  With that in mind we will be digging into a little bit of this budget proposal during this episode of lessons from the screen, the Presidents 2nd budget.

​During this episode of Lessons from the Screen we will be looking at the looming water crisis in South Africa.  We will also be digging a little bit into the water shortages across the continent, and of course, things we can learn from these situations.

​This week on Lessons from the Screen we will be talking about the 2018 State of the Union address given by Donald Trump after his first year in office.  We will be breaking down what was said and what wasn’t said as it concern Black People.  We will be addressing any takeaways and in general just covering relevant points to our community.
