A COACH TAKES A HIS FINAL BOW ON THE COURT
PLUS A DISCUSSION WITH THE AUTHOR OF “HEY WHITE PEOPLE”
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO MORNINGS ON THE HILL. I’M TESSA HOWARD.
AND I’M MIKHALA ARMSTRONG. THIS MORNING WE HAVE A SPECIAL SHOW FOR YOU. WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE EVENTS HERE ON CAMPUS FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
WE UNFORNATELY MISSED OUR LAST SHOW DUE TO A SNOW STORM, WE KNOW IT’S MARCH BUT THE WAY WE SEE IT, EVERY MONTH IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
LET’S BEGIN THOUGH, WITH A LOOK AT THIS MORNING’ S TOP STORIES.
TO THE LATEST WITH UKRAINE….
RUSSIA HAS SEIZED EUROPE’S LARGEST NUCLEAR PLANT AND STARTED A FIRE.
THE FIRE COMES AS RUSSIAN FORCES PLAN TO TRY TO CONTROL VITAL PORTS.
UKRAINE SAYS THE FIRE IS OUT AND THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE SIGN THAT RADIATION HAS LEAKED.
COUNTRIES ACROSS THE WORLD ARE SANCTIONING RUSSIA IN AN EFFORT TO STOP PUTIN.
MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY CAN DITCH THEIR MASK. THAT’S ACCORDING TO THE CDC’S NEW DATA RELEASED THURSDAY.
THE CDC SAYS NEARLY EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY LIVES IN A LOW TO MEDIUM RISK AREA.
HERE IN NEW YORK, GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL LIFTED THE STATE MASK MANDATE ON WEDNESDAY.
DESPITE THAT, S-U IS STILL AT THE BLUE LEVEL WITH ONE HUNDRED-18 CASES AMONG STAFF, FACULTY AND STUDENTS.
MASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED INDOORS AT ALL TIMES FOR THOSE WHO ARE
UNVACCINATED
AND ARE REQUIRED DURING CLASS AND CERTAIN EVENTS.
IT’S AN END OF AN ERA, 41 YEARS TO BE EXACT.
ON SATURDAY, COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI (KSHOO-JEV-SKI), THAT’S WHY WE CALL HIM COACH K, IS COACHING HIS FINAL GAME WITH THE DUKE BLUE DEVILS.

THIS WAS WHEN COACH K WAS IN THE DOME LAST WEEK.
HIS FINAL HOME GAME AT DUKE WILL BE AGAINST THEIR RIVAL, NORTH CAROLINA.
TICKETS PRICES FOR THE GAME ARE SIMILAR TO THE SUPER BOWL. THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE RANGE FROM 50 THOSUAND TO THREE THOUSANDD.
AND IN THOSE SEATS, ARE TWO HUNDRED-EIGHT OF COACH K’S FORMER PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN INVITED BACK.
YOU CAN WATCH THE GAME TOMORROW AT SIX P.M.
NOW TO OUR SPECIAL ON BLACK HISTORY MONTH HERE ON THE CAMPUS OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.
WE START WITH A STORY ABOUT OUR CLASSMATES AND OUR VOICES. IN A
FORUM STUDENTS OF COLOR ADDRESSED ISSUES THEY FACE AT SYRACUSE
UNIVERSITY
ALAINA LOSITO (LO-SITO) WAS AT THE TOWN HALL.
THANKS TESSA AND MIKHALA. THIS BLACK STUDENT DISCUSSION BROUGHT UP
SOME VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND LISTEN TO OUR BLACK STUDENTS. THEIR VOICES NEED TO BE HEARD.  
ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 22ND THERE WAS AN EVENT THAT TOOK PLACE IN
NEWHOUSE. THE EVENT WAS A BLACK STUDENT DISCUSSION FOR BLACK
HISTORY MONTH. THE PANNEL CONSISTED OF SIX SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
NEWHOUSE STUDENTS: CALVIN MILLINER, TONIA BROWN JORDEN P AIR
RACHELLE LE GRANDE AND TWO OF OUR OWN MORNINGS ON THE HILL
STUDENTS MIKHALAARMSTRONG AND TOLUWA FAMUYIDE. THESE STUDENT
DISCUSSED THE DIFFICULTIES THEY HAVE FACED BEFORE GETTING INTO THIS
PROGRAM ESPECIALLY IN UNDERGRAD. SOME HOW IT IS SO DIFFICULT FOR US
TO GET IN UNDERGRAD AND I LISTEN TO SOME OF THESE WHITE STUDENTS IN
UNDERGRADUATE CLASSES AND “OH I JUST TRANSFERED TO NEWHOUSE. OH I
JUST APPLIED AND I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY GET IN WITH NO BARRIERS NO
OBSTACLES NO NOTHING. MY PARENTS WERE TRYING TO MOLD ME INTO
SOMETHING BEFORE I COULD EVEN SEE IT AND NOW IM LOOKING BACK AND IM
LIKE MAN WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SO HARD. WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH MORE THINGS JUST TO MAKE THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE.
THE PANNELISTS ALSO DISCUSSED HOW STUDENTS OF COLOR OFTENTIMES
FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE A PROFESSOR’S TEACHING STYLE IN OFFICE HOURS AND HOW IT MAKES THEM FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND ADDRESSING WHAT STUDENTS OF COLOR NEED WHEN IN THE CLASSROOM.
“LET HIM KNOW ABOUT HOW I WAS FEELING AND THAT’S WHEN HE KIND OF
UNDERSTOOD. AND THEN HE SAID I WANT TO IMPLEMENT THIS AND THEN HE DID.
HE IMPLEMENTED IT, AND IT WORKED. I DIDN’T HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER.I DIDN’T
KNOW HOW TO KIND OF DEAL WITH IT. IT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE AND I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO KIND OF NAVIGATE THROUGH IT BECAUSE I’VE BEEN OFFERING IT
THE SAME WAY ALL THESE YEARS AND I WAS GRATEFULL YOU KNOW THAT MY PARENTS KIND OF TOLD ME YOU GOTTA SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF IF YOU DON’T

SINCE BLACK HISTORY MONTH JUST ENDED AND WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH JUST
STARTED I WANTED TO LEAVE OFF WITH A QUOTE FROM SOJOURNER TRUTH
“LIFE IS A HARD BATTLE ANYWAY. IF WE LAUGH AND SING A LITTLE AS WE FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FREEDOM, IT MAKES IT ALL GO EASIER. I WILL NOT ALLOW
MY LIFE’S LIGHT TO BE DETERMINED BY THE DARKNESS AROUND ME.” FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M ALAINA LOSITO.
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK JOURNALISTS IS BACK ON CAMPUS.
FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH,
N-A-B-J REPORTERS FROM RIGHT HERE IN SYRACUSE AND FROM AS FAR AS
HOUSTON, TEXAS CAME TOGETHER. IMANI CLEMENT IS HERE TO TELL US MORE.
Thanks Tessa. During the last week of Black History Month, the N-A-B-J S-U chapter hosted a Telling Our Community Stories panel, a discussion on how young Black journalists can adequately represent their communities not only through their storytelling, but in the newsroom as well. Let’s take a look.  
MIKHALA ARMSTRONG NAT: News media has a long history of telling our community stories of color through a lens of issues of poverty, poor health care. MANI CLEMENT) THE PANEL KICKED OFF WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM THE NA-B-J S-U CHAPTER VICE PRESIDENT, MIKHALA ARMSTRONG. A SMALL GROUP OF
NEWHOUSE STUDENTS WERE IN ATTENDANCE, TO HEAR FROM A GROUP OF SEASONED MULTIMEDIA JOURNALISTS AND ANCHORS ON HOW TO REPORT ON STORIES CONCERNING THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
IMANI CLEMENT: C-N-Y CENTRAL MULTIMEDIA JOURNALIST ALLURA LEGGARD INITIATED THE CONVERSATION AND DISCUSSED THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING DIVERSITY IN THE NEWSROOM.
I never wanted to feel like that ever again, and it was important to me to be in a newsroom that had people of color, that had someone that looked like me. Because I did not want to be in a space like that ever again where I felt uncomfortable showing who I am.

IMANI CLEMENT: C-N-Y CENTRAL ANCHOR MELANIE JOHNSON ADDITIONALLY STRESSED THAT YOUNG JOURNALISTS ALSO NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FIGHT TO ADD MORE COLOR TO NEWSROOMS.
SO YOU HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MANAGERS ARE
GETTING INTERNS OF COLOR, PRODUCERS OF COLOR, PEOPLE ON AIR OF
COLOR, JUST BECAUSE YOU MADE IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS
NOT KNOCKING ON THAT DOOR. WE AT MORNINGS ON THE HILL WANT TO STRESS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT STORIES ARE TOLD EVERY MONTH AND NOT JUST BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M IMANI CLEMENT.
ANOTHER FOCUS HERE ON CAMPUS DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH WAS AN
EVENT CALLED “THE STATE OF THE BLACK PROFESSIONAL.”
MANY GATHERED AS FACULTY AND STAFF GOT TOGETHER FOR A PANEL DISCUSSION.
THE FIVE PANELISTS TALKED ABOUT DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND MENTAL HEALTH.
EACH SHARED THEIR EVOLUTION AS BLACK PROFESSIONALS AND HOW
IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS
ARE DURING THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
Spiritual health, emotional health, whatever it is, as a black professional it is important, it is like a requirement.It’s mandatory, as a black professional at a predominately white institution you have to decide that self care strategically.

THIS EVENT IS ONE OF MANY THAT TOOK PLACE DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH
THAT DROVE A DEEPER CONVERSATION
TO SPARK CHANGE IN THE COMMUNITY AT S-U.
SYRACUSE ALUM CHUCK HAYWARD WAS BACK ON THE HILL LAST WEEK TO GIVE ADVICE TO THE NEXT SET OF JOURNALISTS.
MORNING’S ON THE HILL TOLUWA FAMUYIDE HAD A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN WITH HAYWARD IN AN EXCLUSIVE 1-ON-1 INTERVIEW. 
Thanks–
HAYWARD IS A WRITER AND PRODUCER… HAVING WORKED ON SOME OF THE BIGGEST TELEVISION SERIES SUCH AS WANDA-VISION AND TED LASSO.
DURING OUR BLACK HISTORY MONTH COVERAGE… WE SAT DOWN WITH HAYWARD TO GET HIS INSIGHT ON IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF BEING IN THE INDUSTRY.
BECAUSE OF HIS SCREEN-WRITING BACKGROUND… WE FIRST DISCUSSED HOW HE KEEPS MAKING IDEAS TO WRITE SCRIPTS…
TAKE A LISTEN…
A lot of it is just sh*t we want to see… I’ve experienced that as well
HAYWARD THEN TOUCHED ON SOCIETY’S NEED FOR JOURNALISTS TO TELL FACT BASED STORIES.
writing too for journalism… actual fact based journalism
Briefly just tell me… keeping that spirit around year round.
HAYWARD ALSO SAYS HE FELT HONORED TO TELL HIS STORY TO PROSPECTIVE JOURNALISTS AND WRITERS.
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M TOLUWA FAMUYIDE… BACK TO YOU.
OUR OWN REPORTER… PA-ZONG LEE JOINS US ON A STORY WHERE A LOCAL ORGANIZATION CLOSED OUT BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH ART AND SOUL.
MORNINGS ON THE HILL REPORTER… PA-ZONG LEE… TELLS US HOW THIS EVENT WILL BRING SMILES AND SUPPORT TO THE ART COMMUNITY.
THANKS MIKHALA… THE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD HAD MANY ORGANIZATIONS
RETHINKING THEIR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND THAT INCLUDED THE LOCAL
ARTS COMMUNITY HERE IN SYRACUSE… A CALL TO ACTION WAS MADE TO
SUPPORT BLACK ARTISTS AND SO THE BLACK ARTISTS COLLECTIVE WAS FORMED. THEY HOSTED A NIGHT OF BLACK CULTURE AND BLACK JOY.
TWISTS AND TURNS… SONGS AND SOUL… YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE DRESS REHEARSAL FOR FETE NOIR…
AND ITS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN THE COMMUNITY FOLK ARTS CENTER… OR CFAC. THE BLACK ARTISTS COLLECTIVE IS HOSTING THIS EVENT FULL OF BLACK ART AND CULTURE.
QIANA WILLIAMS SAYS THE IDEA IS TO CELEBRATE BLACK JOY.
JOY IN MANY WAYS IS UMM A DISRUPTOR ITS A… ITS A ACTIVE RESISTANCE…
UMM YOU KNOW CELEBRATING LIFE IN SPITE OF ALL THATS HOLDING YOU BACK
THIS EVENT WAS HELD VIRTUALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST YEAR AND HAD A
TURNOUT OF ABOUT A HUNDRED ATTENDEES… BUT THIS YEAR PEOPLE CAN COME IN PERSON OR WATCH ONLINE. THE SOLD-OUT SHOW WILL HAVE MORE THAN JUST STAGE PERFORMANCES.
ASIDE FROM THE DRUMS AND TUNES AND RHYTHM AND BLUES… THE
SHOWCASE WILL ALSO FEATURE C-FAC’S CURRENT EXHIBIT.
ATLANTA-BASED ARTIST SHANEQUA GAY CONNECTS THE PAST WITH THE
PRESENT FOR BLACK AMERICANS. CARRY THE WEIGHT IS HER EXHIBIT THAT
HIGHLIGHTS BLACK WOMEN AND BLACK CULTURE. THE HYBRID FORM OF HUMANS WITH ZEBRA LEGS MERGE THE SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL WORLD TODAY.
MORE SPECIFICALLY WHEN YOU VISIT THE EXHIBIT YOU’RE GONNA SEE COLLAGE WORK OR WORKS ON PAPER THAT HAVE LIKE THESE HYBRID BEINGS

UMM THAT SHE CALLS THE DEVOUT AND WHAT SHES TRYING TO DO IS TO REALLY
HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT CULTURE ABOUT MEMORY ABOUT AFROFUTURISM. BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY.. IT’S IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES… AND THAT’S WHAT THE BLACK ARTISTS COLLECTIVE WANTS US TO REMEMBER… FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M PA-ZONG LEE 
COMING UP HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK JOURNALISTS HAS RETURNED TO CAMPUS… MORE ON THEIR MISSION.
AND CAN YOU BELIEVE THE WEATHER IS GOING TO DRASTICALLY CHANGE…AGAIN!
GABRIEL VEIGA WILL BE HERE AND HE’S GOING TO TELL US WHAT’S IN STORE.
STAY WITH US FOR THOSE STORIES AND MUCH MORE HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE
IT IS MARCH, BUT THIS WEEKEND THERE ARE MORE BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVENTS TAKING PLACE ON CAMPUS.
THIS AFTERNOON AT 3 P-M, THE S-U ONE WORLD DANCE TEAM IS BRINGING BACK THE BLACK HISTORY CELEBRATION AT 1-19 EUCLID. A HANDFUL OF SYRACUSE’S BLACK STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE PRESENT TO HELP KICK OFF THIS EVENT.
AND SUNDAY, IF YOU ARE A CARIBBEAN MUSIC FAN, GET READY BECAUSE
DANCHALL ARTIST KRANIUM WILL BE PERFORMING AT THE GOLDSTEIN AUDITORIUM AT SIX P-M.
AND IT’S TIME TO LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
GABE, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE OUT THERE?
IT’S BEEN A LITTLE CRAZY THE PAST FEW WEEKS IN TERMS OF WEATHER, WE COULDN’T BE IN STUDIO LAST FRIDAY BECAUSE OF THE RAGING SNOW STORM.
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I’M READY FOR SPRING TO KICK IN.
IT’S COLD THIS MORNING.
TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE. IT’S SO COLD THE SNOW IS CRUNCHY. THERE’S A NAME FOR THAT. IT’S CALLED HOAR FROST -NOT W-H! H-O-A-R.
HOAR FROST IS A TYPE OF FEATHERY FROST THAT FORMS AS A RESULT OF SPECIFIC CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.
THE WORD ‘HOAR’ COMES FROM OLD ENGLISH AND REFERS TO THE OLD AGE
APPEARANCE OF THE FROST: THE WAY THE ICE CRYSTALS FORM MAKES IT LOOK
LIKE WHITE HAIR OR A BEARD.
SO TODAY WE’RE AT 22 DEGREES BUT WITH THE WIND BLOWING…IT FEELS LIKE 12 DEGREES.
IF WE LOOK AT OUR WEEK
THE WEATHER WILL BE GOING THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES
IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IT WILL BE WARMING UP. TOMORROW’S GOING TO BE 45, PARTLY CLOUDY.
THEN LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO BE SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN ON SUNDAY. BUT
YOUR UMBRELLA MIGHT HAVE YOU FLYING LIKE MARY POPPINS AT SOME POINT.
THERE WILL BE A MIX OF RAIN AND WIND. BUT WE’RE GOING TO GET A HIGH OF ALMOST 70 DEGREES. SO THAT’S A PLUS.
AND THEN ON MONDAY, THE TEMPERATURE WILL DROP A LITTLE, WE’RE GOING TO GET SOME 39 DEGREES BUT WE’LL BE SWITCHING FROM SNOW TO RAIN. AND RAIN TO SNOW.
THAT SOUNDS MESSY.
SO KEEP YOUR UMBRELLA AND COAT HANDY.
Page 2
ON TUESDAY, LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MORE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE AM. AT 36 DEGREES.
AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY GET READY FOR SOME MORE WARM WEATHER. THE SUN WILL RETURN. YOU SEE IT BEHIND THE CLOUD RIGHT THERE. IT WILL BE 46 DEGREES. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND EVERYONE. TESSA AND MIKHALA?
