Host Aaron and co-host Lawrence interview educator, author, and photojournalist Joel Plummer, who calls himself a “historical optometrist” committed to helping Black people see their past, present, and future clearly through teaching, writing, and photography. Plummer shares the moment in a WEB Du Bois Scholars Program that inspired him to become a teacher, his frustration with the absence of Black history in school curricula, and why he wrote “Black Kid White School: What They Don’t Teach Your Black Child,” structured as short Q&A lessons with visuals to fill educational gaps. The conversation covers racism and microaggressions, the burden of proof placed on Black students, strategies for arming students with facts and sources, teaching Black history to largely Latino classes, and a recent Piscataway–Plainfield game security controversy. Plummer explains his photojournalism work in sports, protests, and boxing, why he stopped shooting weddings, and how to get the book and connect via Instagram @ProfPlummer, Amazon, or Sendell’s Bookstore.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/standing-on-business--6735876/support.

Host Aaron Robinson presents a modern moral scenario inspired by biblical themes and the film “Highest to Lowest”: David, a longtime real estate mogul, is finalizing a major commercial deal using much of his family’s savings when kidnappers demand a ransom, threatening to kill the captive in three days. The twist is they mistakenly kidnapped Kyle, the son of David’s best friend and pastor, Paul, believing he was David’s son. The group debates whether David should sacrifice the deal and risk his marriage and family’s future to pay, weighing compassion, covenant and family unity, and practical options like involving police, church resources, media, fundraising, and counsel. They emphasize prayer, seeking God’s direction, taking faith-based action, and making decisions with one’s spouse, acknowledging uncertain outcomes and consequences.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/standing-on-business--6735876/support.
