In this episode, we are joined by Federal Communications Commissioner, Geoffrey Starks. The FCC is an independent government agency that regulates the radio, television and phone industries; this includes interstate communications, such as wire, satellite and cable, and international communications originating or terminating in the United States. As only the seventh African-American to serve on the Commission since its 1934 inception and one of the youngest members currently serving on this small, but powerful commission, Mr. Starks provides valuable insight about the reach and importance of the FCC in ensuring digital access, diversity and representation in the media, and a place in the digital economy for all Americans, especially those who have been historically locked out. The hosts for this episode are Clint Odom, NUL Senior Vice President of Policy & Advocacy and Toni Wiley, NUL Director of Advocacy. From the National Urban League, For The Movement discusses persistent policy, social, and civil rights issues affecting communities of color.
