Top Expert Weighs in on What to Expect from Historic Debate

Dean of the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication Mark Lukasiewicz was interviewed by The Washington Post and Newsday about the historic debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump broadcast by CNN. “The pressure is on CNN to make this a good debate for the voters and for their viewers,” Dean Lukasiewicz told the Post. Because the debate will be held in the CNN studios without an audience, he told Newsday that it would not be the usual “public spectacle” of earlier encounters. “I think it’s going to be a very different atmosphere. And I think the result on television is also going to be very different,” Dean Lukasiewicz said. Mark Lukasiewicz is a veteran producer, journalist, and media executive who has spent his professional career telling important stories to worldwide audiences and helping media organizations deal with transformational change.

Understanding the Significance of Juneteenth

Alan Singer, professor of education, is featured in a USA Today article about the historical significance and observation of Juneteenth. The article notes that Juneteenth marks the day the last African American slaves were notified that they had been freed from their masters, according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Dr. Singer said that during this time, an estimated 250,000 people were kept enslaved in Texas despite the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on Jan 1, 1863. While Juneteenth is becoming more widely known and understood, Dr. Singer explained that there was a time when Black History was not widely discussed within the educational system. “I didn’t learn it (until) I was an adult, really (in the) 1990s, when as a teacher, I started studying more, so I (could) incorporate it into my lessons,” he said. “I went to City College in the 1960s, and they had first introduced a course called ‘American Negro History’ and that was the first time I had learned about any of these things. I took the course because I became a political activist while at City College and I needed to know more about the African American civil rights struggles.” Alan Singer is a Professor of Teaching, Learning and Technology.
