S2 - August-September: "Social Responsibility: Giving Back On and With Purpose" | Episode 42 - Guests: Booker T. Washington High School Foundation Officers

Welcome to another month of Influencer Podcasting. This month, we showcase individuals and organizations, doing phenomenal work in their communities and for their neighbors. Social responsibility is an ethical process in which individuals are accountable for fulfilling their civic duty, and the actions of an individual must benefit the whole of society. In this way, there must be a balance between economic growth and the welfare of society and the environment.

Our theme for August - September, "Social Responsibility: Giving Back On and With Purpose", offers the platform needed to share strategies, tactics and projects that are changing lives and communities. Given the current atmosphere of social unrest, there are men, women and organizations that have found "pain points" and are addressing that need.

This week's guests are Officers of the Booker T. Washington High School Foundation: President Emeritus/Founding President, Doris Glymph Greene, President, Gloria Graham Boyd, Vice-President, Colonel Kimberly Greene (Ret), M. L. Kohn, Scholarships and Matthew & Francis Addison, Alumni Co-Chairs. These remarkable individuals share the mission, vision and strategies to maintain the legacy of the second high school built for Black students in the State of South Carolina, in 1916, Booker T. Washington High School. At the advent of integration, BTW High School later was deemed obsolete and eventually closed. The Columbia School Board sold the property to the University of South Carolina, leaving the Black community without its anchor institution.

Listen to the proud history of BTW High School, the memories and life lessons that catapulted successful alumni to lives of service and giving back. Hear how the BTW High School Foundation is keeping the legacy of that great institution alive and thriving. This Foundation is a testament to the dedication of a group of retirees and their legacies, to keep the history and importance of Booker T. Washington High School relevant.

Members of the Foundation's passion is contagious and inspiring. Hopefully, you're inspired to "Give Back: On and With Purpose" in your community!
