Congratulations to all the @ucbsoj grads - we can’t wait for all the stories you’ll tell, the networks you’ll build, and the necessary change your work will help to advance across the media & journalism world, and beyond. 🕰️🌎🎊
It’s no secret that at *this* time on the clock of our world, many public institutions are in crisis: public media & public schools, the public health system & the prison system. As we build on the foundation of @_ViewersLikeUs_ podcast, we’ll keep Boggs’ prompt top of mind.
While giving the commencement address to @ucbsoj's Class of 2022 on Sunday, Grace Lee (@anothergracelee) invoked the words of the late activist and philosopher Grace Lee Boggs, who would often open an event with this still-resonant Q: “What time is it on the clock of the world?”

I highly recommend @anothergracelee's important, engaging and super relevant podcast @_ViewersLikeUs_ which"documents the growing disconnect between PBS’s founding mission and the increasingly diverse public it was created to serve.” buff.ly/3Kj1FvW
