Medgar Evers College

But I do want you all to take a listen to what happened in the conver- in the, the debate they had last night.

We hosted a debate watch party at the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College.

Uh, we, so we hosted this debate.

We got to watch this in real time.

"We don't need," she would say, "to register any more voters.

We need," she would say, "to activate the voters that we've already registered." And I would al- usually, if she was going to say a statement like that, it was because we were in a conversation where everyone's solution to getting out the vote was to register new voters, and she would be exacerbated with that and be like, "You know how many registered voters we have that do not vote, that are not educated, are not prepared? How about we activate them? Yeah, you can go register more people, but you got this whole, you know, millions of New Yorkers who are registered to vote who don't actually get activated." And so that's what she was speaking about, and that's the approach that we have taken at the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College, which is actually my job.

Like I know a lot of y'all think that my job is radio.

This is my brunch break.

But basically the Under Secretary of Education, Nicholas Kent, said in a statement, "If a program cannot show that it leaves its graduates financially better off than if they had never enrolled, it should not be underwritten by federal taxpayers." Now, I find this to be really rich [laughs] pun intended, because I work at a law center.

Shout out to the Center for Law and Social Justice at the Medgar Evers College, and I want you all to remember that law center when it comes time for Giving Tuesday, 'cause we are going to be in active fundraising season.

So all of you who are blessed by the work that I do here, just know I need you to bless my law center.

We'll talk more about that later.

But one of the things that I know is that the Center for Law and Social Justice is based at Medgar Evers College, which is a, one of the campuses, one of the many campuses of the City University of New York.

You know what's really dope about the City University of New York? In s- in addition to the fact that it is one of the top 10 schools for upward mobility for poor people, meaning that if you are a poor person and you don't want to be poor, going to a City University of New York educated, uh, institution of higher education, you are going to much more likely be elevated out of poverty because of the amazing education that you get at the CUNY schools.

CUNY used to be free.

She brought all, all of our organizations together.

She served as the executive director of several nonprofit organizations, as an anti-trafficking legal specialist drafting reform legislation in the Solomon Islands, and as a director of education working to support homeless LGBTQ youth.

As a scholar, she's been a professor and a director of academic programs at multiple colleges and universities, including Metropolitan College, St. Joseph's College, Adelphi University, and Medgar Evers College.

In 2015, she founded the nonprofit Globalizing Gender, an organization committed to creating a just world and preventing gender-based violence through capacity building, law, governance, and awareness.

In 2018, she organized New York City's inaugural March to End Female Genital Mutilation and Cutting in the United States, and was one of the lead contributors to a local statute that created a mayoral-appointed culturally aware task force on FGMC, the first of its kind in the country.

You know, growing up in New York, when we had a school program that would condense Black history into four short weeks a year, you heard about some people more than others.

I mean... with King, Malcolm X, and because my mom graduated Medgar Evers College, Medgar Evers as well.

But if you look under the layer, there's just so many people that have done so much that when I was a kid and I first came across this subject of this book, I was amazed.

And to help us tell that story about Dr. Samuel L. Kuntz, please welcome the author of the book, The Life of Impact, a biography of Samuel L. Kuntz, the David S. Kuntz Show.
