Craig Talton, who serves as FAMU’s Director of Facilities, Planning and Con- struction, has been working diligently on two of the most anticipated projects on campus: the amphitheater and the new dining facility. The pandemic has caused a reworking of timelines across the nation for every- one, and the construction team has had their share of setbacks during the process. “COVID-19 impacted factories, con- struction material cost, and the shipment of materials and equipment. The project was affected further when workers had to stay at home and quarantine because of positive COVID tests. Adhering to CDC social distancing guidelines has slowed down the construction,” Talton said.

In the main body of the report, we focus on the richness of the discussions and provide multiple quotes to illustrate the points made. This executive summary provides a more concise overview of the points being made in the discussions, which should help readers navigate the detail in the main sections. The approach we took to engaging participants in these discussions was based on their role as citizens rather than consumers. We wanted them to reflect on future of public service broadcasting not only in terms of their individual preferences, but also from a collective perspective, in terms of its value to society, and in the context of public service broadcasting’s public policy remit.

  • Press 3 February 2021 the 25 Defining Works of the Black
    TIME The 25 Defining Works of the Black Renaissance 3 February 2021 The 25 Defining Works of the Black Renaissance “I’m rooting for everybody Black.” So said Issa Rae on the red carpet at the 2017 Emmy Awards, capturing the electricity of a moment when “everybody Black” referred to quite a large group of ascendant voices—not only those up for awards that night, and not only those in Hollywood, but artists across the cultural landscape. While there has never been a shortage of Black artists making great work, the past six or so years have seen these creators claiming the spotlight like never before. Image: O.J. Made in America: ESPN Films/Everett Collection; Slave Play: Sarah Krulwich—The New York Times/Redux; Black Panther: Marvel/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Everett Collection; Getty Images In fact, the hardest part of compiling this list of 25 works that have defined the current Black Renaissance was coming to terms with what had to be left out: vital films, series, albums, books, poetry collections, plays and works of fashion. For guidance, TIME assembled some of the era’s most influential figures—artists who have also become advocates, mentors and changemakers—to help curate the list. These luminaries across disciplines voted on hundreds of works to reach a compilation of original, ambitious art, from paintings that will live in perpetuity in the National Portrait Gallery to music that became the soundtrack to a movement; books about marriage and memory and TV series that are as weird as they are wise. The works of this new canon are defined by their breadth and diversity—a movement of pop stars and public intellectuals, superheroes and screwups, horror and ecstasy, individuality and unity.
