  • Reparations - Part 1 with Dr. Kathy Powers

    Reparations - Part 1 with Dr. Kathy Powers
    Nov 26 2020

    Dr. Kathy Powers is a professor of political science. Respected around the globe. Twenty years ago, she had an encounter with a student that left her speechless. Then it completely altered the course of her career...


    Her student, who was bi-racial (Jewish and Black), asked a simple question:"Why did my Jewish grandmother get reparations, but my black grandmother didn't?"


    The professor did not have a good answer for him. But the disparity in treatment led her on a quest to understand the mechanics of reparations. Who gets them? Who decides? And who decides WHO decides??

    She has traveled extensively in Europe for her work and her  scholarship has covered reparations cases from Bosnia to the Caribbean.

    HOC Live - It's a Family Affair with Joy Hollingsworth (Seattle)
    Aug 26 2020
    In October 2013, Raft Hollingsworth called a family meeting at his parents' home. Not crazy. They did this from time to time. But this time Raft (the baby of the family) had a Power Point deck. This was serious. He had a business proposition for them. With recreational cannabis newly legal in the state of Washington, he saw an opportunity for him and his family to get in on the ground floor. Mom was impressed by the presentation. So was his dad. Dad ended up investing his entire retirement fund to bankroll the startup. Today they have a 30,000 square foot farm, outfitted with eight greenhouses. Joy and Raft run day to day operations of The Hollingsworth Company (THC) [<-- See what they did there?], and count their ability to work with family as the most valuable asset in their growing company.
