Black and Bullied

ZaKhari Waddy was 13 years old when he wrote a letter crying out for help from boys who constantly bullied him at school. Dejah Jones sadly took her own life as a result of bullying. According to a recent study, Black and Latino students are academically harmed when they fall victim to bullying. Children are being bullied on a daily basis, and everyone looks to the schools for a solution - but what can we as a community do about it? On the next Another View we'll talk about bullying - what it is, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to stop it. Our guests include Zettrona Powell, parent of a bullied child; Karen Eure Wilson, President, Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals and a parent of a bullied child; Dr. Ernestine Duncan, Psychology Professor, Norfolk State University and Jonathan Zur, Dr. Ernestine Duncan, Psychology Professor, Norfolk State University and President and CEO, Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities. It's all on Another View, Friday, May 13 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!
