By the mid twentieth century, Mississippi's African Americans had suffered from nearly 75 years of slavery by another name - Jim Crow discrimination. In 1964 in Mississippi, people died in an effort to force the state to allow African Americans to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Although, the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer has passed, the struggle for voting rights is still pertinent. According to the NAACP, states have recently passed the most laws limiting voter participation since Jim Crow. Moreover, these laws also disenfranchise other people of color, the elderly, poor, and disabled. With the 2015 anniversary of the Voting Rights Act as well as the upcoming presidential primaries and general election, voting rights will remain at the forefront of a national debate.

For instance, why are red states red?

Seven minutes and nine seconds was all it took for an active shooter to take 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida. The massacre on February 14, 2018 was the second deadliest mass school shooting in U.S. history. The documentary AFTER PARKLAND: HEALING A COMMUNITY AND A NATION chronicles the year following the shooting, and illuminates the strength of the Parkland community as residents and students turn a tragedy into positive change and meaningful action toward ending gun violence. Andrea Oliver's brother Joaquin was one of the students killed at Stoneman Douglas. The documentary profiles Andrea's dedication to a charity project, in honor of her brother, that beautifies a school basketball court in an underprivileged neighborhood in South Florida. The program also looks at Parkland mom and artist Nava Lundy, who paints portraits of the 17 students and staff killed as a gift of comfort for the bereaved families, and follows the Parkland students who sparked the # NeverAgain movement on their 25-city bus tour. With the goals of raising awareness, starting a bilateral conversation on gun reform, and registering voters, these students impact communities across the country with their message. Finally, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester co-writes an anthem to the students of Stoneman Douglas. With the help of music teacher Stewart Rabin, the two bring survivors together to record the song "We Are the Fire." The documentary culminates in an emotional public performance by the school's student choir in honor of the one-year anniversary of the shooting.

Chile - Surviving the Andes (Joe) - On October 13th, 1972 a plane carrying a rugby team from Uruguay crashed in the Andes Mountains on its way to Chile. Initially, 33 people survived (but many perished in the days that followed). For the next two months those who remained endured below freezing temperatures and high altitude waiting for help. It never came. The story became famous because the passengers resorted to cannibalism to survive. On the 45th anniversary of their rescue, Americas Now presents an interview with passenger turned life-saving doctor Roberto Canessa. He and another survivor made the treacherous trek back to civilization, to get the assistance needed to save the lives of their 14 still-stranded companions. USA - Bodegas in Peril (Gerry Hadden) - In many places across America the corner store is a fixture in local life. It's a place for last minute, late-night shopping. A warm spot where you greet neighbors. And where staff know how many creams you like in your coffee. In Latino communities in New York and Los Angeles those stores are called bodegas. Their local flavor and charm has helped them compete against big supermarkets. But now, a small device may threaten them. It's also called Bodega, but it's not exactly a store. Correspondent Gerry Hadden explains from New York City. Musical - Magical Town - For the musical/end piece this week, we take you to Mompox, an historic town along Colombia's longest river.

The documentary BACKS AGAINST THE WALL: THE HOWARD THURMAN STORY chronicles the extraordinary life of Theologian Howard Thurman, a poet and "mystic" who used religious expression to help ignite sweeping social change. Thurman was born the grandson of slaves in segregated Daytona, Florida. Despite the circumstances of his upbringing, he went on to become one of the great spiritual and religious pioneers of the 20th century, whose words and influence continue to echo today. His landmark book, Jesus and the Disinherited, was the first to state that Jesus Christ - who was born in poverty as part of a powerless minority - lived a life that spoke directly to black Americans.

Sometime all we need is a walk outside to jump start our creativity. A simple breath of fresh air clears our head and allows to ideas to form. Nature all by itself is inspiring. Today Nealay Patel uses the branches of a tree to prompt a design for a necklace. Then leaves motivate Candie Cooper to create fringed leather leaf earrings. Finally Tammy Honaman has peyote with a twist.

Then Brenda Schweder shares her tips for making live videos - an integral part of marketing your work to a larger audience online and thru social media.

Candie Cooper finishes up with a necklace inspired by the months of the year and their corresponding gemstone for a beautiful gift.

Inspiration doesn't always come easy for artists. Sometimes premade "helpers" get our message across. We begin with our feature bead style - today is ceramics. Then artist, Eva Sherman starts out with a premade metal cuff to display mokume gane polymer. Artist, Candie Cooper is next with a paisley pendant aided by a die cut.

What could be more inspiring than the sights and sounds of the ocean that evoke a sense of calm? Tammy Honaman is up first with a metal clay project inspired by her love of the sea. Then meet Sara Oehler for a seed bead revolution featuring the calming colors of blue and green.

Being in the city inspires a whole different vibe to your design. Kate Richbourg is inspired by commerce and the use of coins all over the world - using coins to make buttons and clasps. Then part 2 of fabrication with Julie Sanford. Turn all of those wires into a cuff. We finish up with Tammy Honaman and making chain using metal.

Excursions of all kinds whether online, in books or via photos can help us develop our sense of place. Today's designers have 2 different journeys for their inspiration. Lindsay Burke looks to a favorite ocean front locale to create her piece from resin. Then Kate Richbourg shares a design she calls Odyssey using waxed linen and beads for a very international vibe.

Sometimes we get our sense of place right at home and other times our motivation comes from far off places and a sense of the exotic ; something different from our every day. In this episode designers moved beyond their comfort zone. Up first Tracy Gonzales creates hamsa earrings featuring sari silk. Then Nealay Patel is back with earrings inspired by the exotic peacock. Finally Tammy Honaman has tips for hiding fibers with an exotic and international flare when using a loom.

Developing your sense of place also includes those imaginary locations you see only in your mind. In this episode we explore ice castles, or more accurately, cold and ice, conjuring up clean lines, colors of white, silver and blue, and sunlight shimmering on snow or ice. Lindsay Burke begins with an architecture inspired necklace highlighted by crystals. Then it's 3 quick projects with Leslie Rogalski featuring crystals and tools. Finally Tammy Honaman makes chain with loops and crystals.

India has its own original look, or we should say multiple looks! Whether bold jewel tones, musical metals and bells, or a more mystical element, this is a style easily recognized. Kate Richbourg demonstrates Bollywood bracelets. Then Kim O'Neill introduces us to prayer beads or malas - a traditional tool used to count the number of times a mantra is recited, or breaths while meditating.

Visit the factories and industrial manufacturing plants for a more gritty inspiration. Brenda Schweder creates statement pieces with the wire wrapping techniques.

Then Allie Buchman joins us for a tutorial on Czech bead shapes. Next Ashley Bunting creates basic wire frames to make earrings. We finish up with peyote basics from Tamara Honaman and the art of color and edging.

A key to making art accessible is to introduce it to our daily life. We begin with cast metal beads and pendants in our final bead inspiration. Then Jackie Truty introduces us to the technique of scraffito, using it to make plates to adorn our home. We end with Candie Cooper and a geometric bohemian necklace with a simple design easy enough for beginners.

This season is all about learning from the masters but we'd be remiss if we didn't also take time to feature some modern ingenuity. Katie takes a look at beads inspired by Monet as a nod to the past. Then Aja Vaz brings us into the current world with modern torches and making tube shaped beads. Then Katie is back with old meets new, as we look at new ways to set crystals. Finally Tamara shows us new and old loom types.

This season we're exploring how to develop your sense of place and how it influences our design. One factor we haven't touched upon is designing with a strong focus on the end product and its use. Today is all about cuffs. They provide a different surface and a design aesthetic based on their shape. Leslie Rogalski is first with centerline cuffs with a Native American design. Then Candie Cooper uses leather for her cuff design. Finally Tammy Honaman is back for another short lesson, featuring safety tips for working with enamel.

In this episode we investigate peaceful pursuits - when the actual making along with the finished product give us a sense of peace and a calm. Kim O'Neill demonstrates a piece entitled "breathe deep for calming" and adding scents to a lava rock bracelet. Then meet Jill Wiseman for bead weaving - the back and forth repetition can give that sense of peace. Finally Kate Richbourg creates bead lariats in intricate patterns but simply constructed.

Travel is not required to develop a sense of place, certain colors and materials might be the look you gravitate towards. This episode looks at southwest designs and its distinctive color palette and patterns. First, it's knitting with wire with Sara Oehler for a southwest look. Then meet Tracy Gonzales and a curved feather bracelet. Finally Kate Richbourg has a bonus lesson to share. Desert landscapes and warm colors provide today's sense of place!

Not all places are actual locations! We extend our sense of place to techniques and styles that happen in stages. Just as our design style evolves over time, so do many projects plus our own jewelry making can take many turns from hobby to business. The first guest today is Robin Kramer for a more business-like approach to jewelry making and what it takes to develop a cohesive collection. Then Leslie Rogalski has a project on an endless loom - just when do you stop? Learning to know when is another part of design.

A common thread for all artists is their relationship with color. Sometimes its bold, sometimes it's muted and other times it's noticeably absent. We begin with favorite beads inspired by Van Gogh and a bold look at color. Then artist Kate Richbourg presents an artwork color study - laddering with thread. We finish up with artist Aja Vaz and creating hollow glass beads in a multitude of colors.

Making art is a process that requires start to finish instructions. Tamara Honaman is up first with the basics of bead embroidery - what you need, the tools, and various finishes and shapes. Then meet Katie Baum as she takes you through a sterling ring from start to finish - learn about kilns and working in sterling.

When you talk about art, we often imagine a painstaking process that takes a lot of time, but today's artists are here to show speedy techniques that still create beautiful works of art! Wyatt White starts us out with 4 projects. They are super-fast and introduce a new technique. Then Eva Sherman has tips for soldering jump rings, make a lot to start and then get creative. Tamara Honaman finishes up with ways to bring mixed media into your jewelry with resin. The process is super-fast minus the drying time.

Artists are known for taking an unconventional approach to their art - often introducing "non art" supplies to their work. First we look at stamped metal for inventive beads. Then Candie Cooper throws a curve and uses cookie tins for her project. Next Kate Richbourg throws out the loom for a lalique bracelet that is loom free. We'll finish up with artist Tamara Honaman as she manipulates right angle weave to turn it into shapes and beads.

Inspiration can come from a style, an artist, or the material itself. Today's artists get their creative jump start from wire. Our feature bead type is lamp work beads and soft glass vs borosilicate. Then, artist Brenda Schweder is back with a Calder inspired modern, wire art necklace. Then, inventor Wyatt White takes wire weaving to a new level making an intricate bangle.
