Mondays at 9 pm, starting July 10 On Start Up Take an up-close and personal look into the world of the modern American entrepreneur . As complicated as starting a business may seem, the goal is to demystify the process by sharing the real life experiences of average Americans who are taking control of their own destiny while creating jobs for others . Over 90% of companies in America are small businesses, which employ over 50% of people working . Sundays at 10:30 am On A Craftsman’s Legacy Host Eric Gorges combs the country for the finest craftsmen, documenting what it means to be a modern day maker . Eric explains the history of an old-world craft as it is practiced today . He meets and interviews men and women who are master craftsmen, exploring why they chose their craft, where they learned their skills, and how they live using their talents . They also discuss the challenges and importance of keeping craftsmanship alive in the face of mass production . Tues. & Thurs. at 8:30 am & 2:30 pm 3 Members’ Message YOUR LOCAL SUPPORT IS IMPORTANT TO US Mark Stanislawski As I write this month’s column, we are conducting our June membership drive — the final pledge drive of our fiscal year . If you renewed your membership or sent an additional gift during our year-end campaign, thank you! We could not do it without you! Your support is critical to our ability to purchase the full PBS programming service (estimated to be over $406,000 in the upcoming fiscal year) and offer SOPTV-Create and SOPTV-World, as well as local programs like My Story of Service, Local Focus, Immense Possibilities, Brain Bowl, Student Showcase, and more! In May, Congress approved the FY17 omnibus spending bill, including level funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting at $445M (that’s 1/100th of 1% of the federal budget) . In June, the President released his “skinny budget,” which only provides funding for an “orderly closeout” of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting . While there is strong support in the Oregon delegation and in the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, we cannot take anything for granted as Congress prepares to submit a budget to the President in a few months for the upcoming federal fiscal year, October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 . PBS commissioned a special survey last winter that shows the American people overwhelmingly support federal funding of public television . • The poll conducted in early 2017 reveals 73% of viewers oppose eliminating federal funding for public television . • 83% of voters — including 70% of those who voted for President Trump — say they would tell elected representatives to find other places to save money . • 72% rated public television as an excellent or good value for their tax dollars . • 2 in 3 voters think it is very or fairly important for America to have a strong public television system .* I encourage you to visit www . protectmypublicmedia .org . Follow the proceedings and make up your own mind how important PBS and SOPTV’s services are to you . Many thanks for your support of SOPTV .

  • REFLECTION REFLECTION the Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement
    REFLECTION REFLECTION The Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement “I’m taking a trip on the Greyhound bus line, I’m riding the front seat to New Orleans this time. Hallelujah I’m a travelin’, hallelujah ain’t it fine, Hallelujah I’m a travelin’ down freedom’s main line.” This reflection is based on the PBS documentary, “Freedom Riders,” which is a production of The American Experience. To watch the film, go to: http://to.pbs.org/1VbeNVm. SUMMARY OF THE FILM From May to November 1961, over 400 Americans, both black and white, witnessed the power of nonviolent activism for civil rights. The Freedom Riders were opposing the racist Jim Crow laws of the South by riding bus lines from Washington, D.C., down through the Deep South. These Freedom Rides were organized by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Despite the violence, threats, and extraor- dinary racism they faced, people of conscience, both black and white, Northern and Southern, rich and poor, old and young, carried out the Freedom Rides as a testimony to the basic truth all Americans hold: that the government must protect the constitutional rights of its people. Finally, on September 22, 1961, segregation on the bus lines ended. This was arguably the movement that changed the force and effectiveness of the Civil Rights Movement as a whole and set the stage for other organized movements like the Selma to Montgomery March and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This documentary is based on the book Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Equality by Raymond Arsenault (http://bit.ly/1Vbn4sy).
