Task Force Policy analyst NICHOLAS RAY explains how the data from several African-American organizations and polling groups was used to develop the report's conclusions... the outspoken REVEREND DOCTOR YVETTE FLOUNDER is Presiding Bishop of REFUGE MINISTRIES, a San Francisco inner city-based church founded in the "Baptist, Methodist and Pentacostal traditions," and she issues a clarion call for African-American communities to begin a discourse about sexuality... and the kind of research the Task Force has done is long overdue as far as NATIONAL BLACK JUSTICE COALITION Executive Director ALEXANDER ROBINSON is concerned. . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:05 [www.thetaskforce.org; www.sfrefuge.org; www.nbjcoalition.org] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by comic MARGARET CHO [:10] + In the first two parts of our 4-part dramatized biography of early 20th century gay humanitarian and controversial Irish patriot SIR ROGER CASEMENT, we've heard about his dual roots in Irish Catholic and Protestant households and his exceedingly charming and adventurous nature. As an agent for the British Foreign Office, Casement investigated and reported on the brutality of King Leopold's rubber-trading operation in what was then the BELGIAN CONGO -- all the while detailing his sexual escapades in diaries that would ultimately come back to haunt him. After receiving considerable public accolades for the reforms his work forced in Africa, he was next sent to South America, where he encountered unscrupulous rubber-traders along the AMAZON and their equally horrific treatment of forced Native laborers. His reports to the Foreign Office were so strong that just the threat of their publication moved the Peruvian government to institute changes. Casement was knighted for his efforts, and while he accepted the honor, he felt a traitor to Ireland. He devoted more and more of his energies to the Home Rule movement, speaking out for a unified and independent Ireland. Producer HUGH YOUNG and narrator BARRY EMPSON continue his story in Part 3 of "THE BROKEN HEART OF IRELAND: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF SIR ROGER CASEMENT" [8:25]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:35 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:35 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", RIGHT-WING REPUBLICAN "FALSE PROMISES" TO AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE REVEALED, AND GAY IRISH PATRIOT SIR ROGER CASEMENT FALLS FROM HUMAN RIGHTS CHAMPION TO EMBARRASSING TRAITOR...
