Our goal is to provide as much thoughtful, high quality news, talk and cultural content from African-American and diverse voices as we possibly can, and to support radio stations that are doing this work in their local markets. There are so many important issues and ideas that require the contributions of African-Americans and people of color in order to be fully understood by the nation. There is so much music, art and culture that may not have access to commercial media, but that can add value to listeners who view themselves as world citizens.

The Sarita and Claire Wright Lucas Foundation (SCWLF) was created in 2015 to honor Sarita Wright Lucas and her daughter, Claire. The Foundation, in recognition of Sarita’s integrity and passion for justice, supports African American female law students who are committed to serving the public and pursuing careers in prosecution.

Prosecutors possess formidable powers to carry out justice. They decide whom to prosecute, what to charge, whether to recommend freedom or incarceration, bargain for a plea, or dismiss a case. White men hold 79% of elected prosecutor positions across the country, but make up only 31% of the population.

By diversifying the justice system and encouraging more women of color to take on the visible and important role of prosecutors, we can help to promote diversity and ultimately a more equitable criminal justice system. Communities will see that there are people that look like them who represent their interests in court and seek justice on their behalf. Increasing the number of women prosecutors who are of color will help foster more trust, respect and faith in the law.
