Host Brandon Sams is joined by opinions columnist Alysha Hurst, Sterling Wilmer, and Mikala Everett in the annual series A Community of Culture: The Black Perspective. In the first episode of the 2016 edition the quartet discuss the importance of Black History Month, the reason why historically-black organizations aren't exclusionary, the lack of black unity at Texas State University, and why #BlackLivesMatter is an important narrative in a society that values "equality" over "equity."
