(Recorded October 6, 2025) In this episode of A Broader View, host Karen Turner explores the national debate over how American history is told—especially the stories of Black Americans and other underrepresented groups. Prompted by a recent executive order calling for the removal of “divisive” content from historic sites, the conversation highlights efforts in Philadelphia to preserve and share a more complete national story. Guests include Dr. Kirsten Lee of the 1838 Black Metropolis Initiative, Rev. Dr. Mark Kelly Tyler of the President’s House Slavery Memorial, and journalist Denise Clay Murray. Together, they examine why telling the full truth about our past is essential for understanding our present and shaping a more honest and united future.
A Broader View goes beyond the headlines to brings context, conversation, and a fresh perspective to the big issues everyone is talking about - or should be talking about. Hosted and produced by Temple University Associate Emerita Journalism Professor Karen M. Turner, the TUTV public affairs program features insightful conversations and timely perspectives on the stories that matter most.
