It was a noble ambition - the creation of a juvenile court where specially trained public servants and benevolent judges would assist children and families. But according to Jane Spinak, author of "The End of Family Court", this dream has never been achieved and children and families continue to be failed by what she calls a "deeply flawed" court. We take an inside look at this unique form of family justice and why Spinak proposes a radical change that "embraces and supports all families in a fair and equal economic and political democracy".
From the President's State of the Union address, to the Republican response, to the outcomes of the Virginia General Assembly, women and women's issues have been front and center. The all female Another View Round Table brings perspective and insight about the role women will play during this election year.

We welcome back to the Round Table, clean comedian Allison Moore, who shares a millennial perspective, along with regulars Daun Hester, Alvean Lyons and Gaylene Kanoyton.
Virginia's Eastern Shore is so tiny that it is sometimes left off Virginia maps! But this Peninsula has a rich history and its future is being threatened by climate change and sea level rise.

It was in February, 2023 when Another View broadcasted live from Edenton, North Carolina. This idyllic town is divided over the confederate statue that sits prominently in the town square. Some want it removed, others want it to stay. One year later, we revisit the confederate statue issue. What has happened since our visit? Is the statue still standing? Are protests on both sides still happening? And when will this issue be resolved?
We hear an intimate conversation with Norfolk's newest power couple, Sean Washington and Jessica Larche! She is the evening anchor on WTKR News 3; he is the newly named Economic Development Director for the City of Norfolk.

I'm African American Black man and. I live in El Paso, TX now. When I attended NMSU Las Cruces New Mexico after living in LA. I was pulled over by LA Sheriff Dept. who has a bad reputation for giving Black, Brown and poor whites a hard time. I was asked to get out of my car . The Sargent asked me had been drinking. Two squad cars showed up. l said, one beer that I didn't finish. Then he told me for having by front in a crosswalk 2 am in the morning. He had me walk in a straight line 5 times. 3 of 5 times like one foot before other. Then they put me against a store glass window. The ranking Deputy starting questioning me again in the meantime the officers were taking everything out the car. The ranking officer asked while the Japanese American held his gun to my head. Each every time I was asked a question he would tell me to " Shut the f_ _k up". He did that did 4 or 5 times. I told the Sargent I would be glad to answer the questions.

Have you my fellow Afro- Americans given any thought to why this black face issue has been brought to light? You have a governor that's trying to introduce new gun control laws. Perhaps there is more to this than what meets the eye. Your Lt. Gov. is accused of two rapes a few days later. I live in Texas and as an out sider what I see some dirt a foot. Maybe the NRA or the GOP is playing dirty pool?
