Afropunk is a well-known music festival produced by black artists. It is an international festival, but it will be in Atlanta this weekend. Afropunk goes beyond just entertainment. Its "Solution Sessions" are an effort to address and tackle ongoing issues in the black community. On Second Thought speaks to Ashleigh Shackelford, Bridget Todd and Yves Jeffcoat, three of the featured speakers to hear their messages.

Denene Millner is a modern Renaissance woman. Her new GPB podcast Speakeasy with Denene premieres Oct. 24 as she continues to co-host A Seat at the Table on GPB TV.  On top of that, she is a successful author whom Will Smith tapped to help write a new book series.

A new statute at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins honors Eugene Bullard, the first black fighter pilot. Join GPB’s Ross Terrell for a look at the unveiling ceremony.
