Good morning, Ricky Smiley, my brother from another mother, and
all of those who are proud of the Ricky Smiley

know what I got the responsibility of praying for us
this morning.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
So let's go before the Lord in prayer.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Lord, indeed, we thank you for this another day, another
opportunity that we get, the opportunity to come before you.
We want you to know that our nation is literally
wrestling with pain, that there's economic struggles and racial tension,
political divisions, and violence in the streets. But Father, you
are still God, and you promise never to leave us.
(00:57):
You promise never to forsake us. So we pray for
strength today, not the kind that comes from political or
politics or policies, but strength that comes from your spirit.
Teach us, teach us to rise above the noise and
to guard our tongues so that we don't make matters
worse by repeating fear and anger and hopelessness. Let our
(01:20):
mouths be instruments of encouragement, speaking peace into chaos and
unity where there is division. Remember us, God, Remember us,
Remember us, Remember us as we try to lean even
closer to You. Give us the ability to recognize and
realize that no storm can overtake us. Encourage Lord God
the broken heart and heal those grieving from loss, and
(01:43):
give us courage to live with faith even in these
tumultuous times. I thank you, Lord God, because I know
that it's already done, and we stand in faith believing
that it is so.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
In Jesus's name, we pray. Amen. Ricky listen, I love you,

President of the United States made it very clear he

losing their livelihoods because he can't take a joke. He
was somehow able to squeeze Colbert.

Danny turned his sights on me, and now he's openly
rooting for NBC to fire Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers

that happening, you will be ten times as loud as

Speaker 1 (11:09):
If you want to share your HBCU story or if
you have someone you want to spotlight, follow and dm
us on all social media platforms at HPC.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You know what abou alfridos.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Hey, Ricky, So you know history is my favorite subject.
We got to get into this. Sixty eight years ago,
the Little Rock Nine changed history. On September twenty fourth,
nineteen fifty seven, President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock,
Arkansas to escort nine black students into Central High School.
Their courage in the face of violence and intimidation became
(11:42):
a defining moment in the fight to desegregate America's public schools.
So the Little Rock Nine endured threats, harassment, daily isolation,
but their determination Ricky cracked open the walls of segregation.
Their story continues to be a powerful reminder of how
young people can shift the course of history. So who
(12:03):
were these trailblazers? We got Ernest Green, who was the
group's lone senior, and in nineteen fifty or actually nineteen
fifty eight ys he became Central High's first black graduate,
and event witnessed by doctor Martin Luther King Junior. Elizabeth
Eckfert became an icon when photos captured her walking bravely
through an angry mob on her first day. Jefferson Thomas
(12:25):
later became the first of the nine to earn a
college degree. Minnie Jean Brown Trickey was expelled after pushing
back against relentless harassment, but she went on to become
a social worker and educator. Terrence Roberts built a career
as a college professor. Carlotta Walls Lanier, the youngest of
the group, was just fourteen and graduated from Central in
(12:47):
nineteen sixty. Thelma Mother said Where became a dedicated special
education teacher in Illinois. Melvin Patillo'bile's forged a path as
an award winning journalist, author, and civil rights advocate. Gloria
Kyle Mark was fifteen when she entered Central High later
moving abroad to pursue a career in science and technology
(13:08):
with IBM. It's important that we know their names because
the Little rock Nines bravery on that September morning forced
a nation to confront its promise of equality and proved
that even teenagers can change the world.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Oh wow, yeah, wow historical? Are they most of them
still living?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Uh yeah, believe it or not.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Yes, wow, I know that somebody recently just passed away
with one of the first up.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Damn, here I go about that now.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
I can't can't remember, but but that's that's part of
our history.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
We have to hold on to it.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
I hope they have a lot of pictures and stuff,
and I'm sure they just speaking engagements all over the
country or whatever. But yeah, we have to celebrate because
history is being taken away, totally taken away, like white whitewash,
like like it never existed.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
It's important.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
They want to make it look like black people did
make any conscious right, no contributions, no historical significance.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
In the country, and we're pretending our country was a
racist I mean, this was this wasn't too long ago
when this happened. Now we act like, oh, what come
on the Civil Rights Act?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
We didn't need that and what.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah, I just don't understand why they're trying to make
it make it seem like, you know, like like none
of this stuff ever existed or whatever, and why you
going into the museums are taking and taking certain books
and stuff off the shelf or whatever. But yeah, that's
why we just have to stay vigilant and uh, you
take this opportunity and use this platform, uh to talk
about stuff like that, and they need to do it
(14:40):
on the stations where the younger people are listening. Also,
because it's hard to know where you're going if you
don't know where you came from. Appreciate that. Alfreda's more
reasons by the Morning Show coming up
The Ricky Smiley Show.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It we remainin do it for one night, but jore
it comes in the morning. Good morning, everybody, Let's get

all of those who are proud of the Ricky Smiley
Morning Show. This is Vishoon Marvin sav and now you
know what I got the responsibility of praying for us

Speaker 4 (00:32):
So let's go before the Lord in prayer.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Lord, indeed, we thank you for this another day, another
opportunity that we get, the opportunity to come before you.
We want you to know that our nation is literally
wrestling with pain, that there's economic struggles and racial tension,
political divisions, and violence in the streets. But Father, you
are still God, and you promise never to leave us.
(00:57):
You promise never to forsake us. So we pray for
strength today, not the kind that comes from political or
politics or policies, but strength that comes from your spirit.
Teach us, teach us to rise above the noise and
to guard our tongues so that we don't make matters
worse by repeating fear and anger and hopelessness. Let our
(01:20):
mouths be instruments of encouragement, speaking peace into chaos and
unity where there is division. Remember us, God, Remember us,
Remember us, Remember us as we try to lean even
closer to You. Give us the ability to recognize and
realize that no storm can overtake us. Encourage Lord God
the broken heart and heal those grieving from loss, and
(01:43):
give us courage to live with faith even in these
tumultuous times. I thank you, Lord God, because I know
that it's already done, and we stand in faith believing
that it is so.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
In Jesus's name, we pray. Amen. Ricky listen, I love you,

Speaker 6 (11:20):
Hey, Ricky, So you know history is my favorite subject.
We got to get into this. Sixty eight years ago,
the Little Rock Nine changed history. On September twenty fourth,
nineteen fifty seven, President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock,
Arkansas to escort nine black students into Central High School.
Their courage in the face of violence and intimidation became
(11:42):
a defining moment in the fight to desegregate America's public schools.
So the Little Rock Nine endured threats, harassment, daily isolation,
but their determination Ricky cracked open the walls of segregation.
Their story continues to be a powerful reminder of how
young people can shift the course of history. So who
(12:03):
were these trailblazers? We got Ernest Green, who was the
group's lone senior, and in nineteen fifty or actually nineteen
fifty eight ys he became Central High's first black graduate,
and event witnessed by doctor Martin Luther King Junior. Elizabeth
Eckfert became an icon when photos captured her walking bravely
through an angry mob on her first day. Jefferson Thomas
(12:25):
later became the first of the nine to earn a
college degree. Minnie Jean Brown Trickey was expelled after pushing
back against relentless harassment, but she went on to become
a social worker and educator. Terrence Roberts built a career
as a college professor. Carlotta Walls Lanier, the youngest of
the group, was just fourteen and graduated from Central in
(12:47):
nineteen sixty. Thelma Mother said Where became a dedicated special
education teacher in Illinois. Melvin Patillo'bile's forged a path as
an award winning journalist, author, and civil rights advocate. Gloria
Kyle Mark was fifteen when she entered Central High later
moving abroad to pursue a career in science and technology
(13:08):
with IBM. It's important that we know their names because
the Little rock Nines bravery on that September morning forced
a nation to confront its promise of equality and proved
that even teenagers can change the world.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Oh wow, yeah, wow historical? Are they most of them
still living?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Uh yeah, believe it or not.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Yes, wow, I know that somebody recently just passed away
with one of the first up.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Damn, here I go about that now.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
I can't can't remember, but but that's that's part of
our history.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
We have to hold on to it.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
I hope they have a lot of pictures and stuff,
and I'm sure they just speaking engagements all over the
country or whatever. But yeah, we have to celebrate because
history is being taken away, totally taken away, like white whitewash,
like like it never existed.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
It's important.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
They want to make it look like black people did
make any conscious right, no contributions, no historical significance.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
In the country, and we're pretending our country was a
racist I mean, this was this wasn't too long ago
when this happened. Now we act like, oh, what come
on the Civil Rights Act?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
We didn't need that and what.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah, I just don't understand why they're trying to make
it make it seem like, you know, like like none
of this stuff ever existed or whatever, and why you
going into the museums are taking and taking certain books
and stuff off the shelf or whatever. But yeah, that's
why we just have to stay vigilant and uh, you
take this opportunity and use this platform, uh to talk
about stuff like that, and they need to do it
(14:40):
on the stations where the younger people are listening. Also,
because it's hard to know where you're going if you
don't know where you came from. Appreciate that. Alfreda's more
