CRA-NC produced and distributed “The Richard Brown Show,” an innovative alternative to traditional talk radio shows, for several years. The Richard Brown Show seeks to develop a collective understanding of real-life problems affecting Black North Carolinians and to identify resources and tools to help people resolve these problems through personal action. The program was aired by urban and gospel radio stations and attracted listeners with its positive, progressive content. It was cross-marketed via pod casting and an e-newsletter that reached 5,000 emails weekly. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funding, CRA-NC discontinued it's production of the Richard Brown Show at the end of 2006. The Show is currently produced privately. |

Faith and the Common Good The American Values Summit, held at Duke University on March 3, 2006, brought together over 700 community members, students, & faith leaders to join an important conversation on redefining the values debate. It promoted public discourse focused on a broader spectrum of moral values through collaboration with faith based leaders and nonprofits. Summit participants gained a better |
understanding of moral-political connections and learned techniques for effective messaging and outreach within their communities. They discussed how to show their neighbors and communities that true American values encompass more diverse values and they took from the conference an expanded network of associates with whom to share information and collaborate. CRA-NC produced “Faith and the Common Good: Conversations from the American Values Summit” as a 2-DVD set containing over two hours of footage from the Summit. The 2-DVD set contains both Summit highlights and complete keynote addresses from Rev. William J. Barber II and Rev. Jim Wallis, plus selected panels. |
