Carlini shared 5 products of the 3,900 products at the CES - Consumer Electronics Show - the global stage of Innovation in Las Vegas, January 7-12, 2018. More than 180,000 industry professionals, including more than 58,000 from outside the U.S., convened in Las Vegas to drive the ever-evolving global technology industry forward.

He also reminded the audience of the Mississippi River Locks and the need for government officials to take on training and updating procedures, the waterway of the Mississippi River and how service is delivered to the citizenry.  He referenced an article in International Policy Digest that he wrote dated January 3, 2018, for more information.

Black History Month
Dr. William Rogers, Historian, Atlanta Talk Show Host and ex-Professor of UW-Milwaukee, laid the foundation about how and why African American History Month is celebrated.  His reminder about African Americans being treated as "chattel" slavery in the "uprooting" of Africans to America.  It was the effort of "stripping" Africans of "self".  

He talked about Dr. Carter G. Woodson is the creator of Black History Month.  How the beginning of Black History Month started off as Black History Week.  Dr. Woodson, author and scholar, was the second African American to receive a doctorate degree from Harvard University (The first being Dr.  W. E. B. Du Bois).  

Dr. Woodson promoted scholarly deeds and created curriculums and the creation of The Negro Digest publication.  He was the Founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History

Dr. Rogers argued the importance of passing the history on to other generations, including the present individuals of all races.  How the history books and the halls of learning are yet lacking in telling the story of the rich and heroic lives of the African American family.

Charles Carmickle, Talk Show Host, Life:  Welcome to Reality on Riverwest Radio 104.1, was on hand to share personal clips of African American life in America.  This included his personal storytelling of conversations with African American women that were once slaves with papers to prove it.  

Carmickle added a special Reading "For February" to the audience that is worth your listening.  He also reminds us of a uniqueness of this February 2018 regarding the Number 4.

Take a listen to Show 58.
