When ‘Atlanta Speaks’ the Nation Listens. Tune into an Educated Take on Local Politics in Georgia With Dr. Eaves.

(Black PR Wire) Atlanta. Ga.  – After the 2020 presidential elections, the country saw how Stacey Abrams turned the entire state of Georgia from red to blue. Her efforts proved that Black politics are American politics and should be centered as such. Since then, Georgia has become the epicenter of Black politics. “Atlanta Speaks with Dr. John Eaves” is a political talk show covering local politics that affect the Black community with relevancy on a national level.

“Atlanta Speaks with Dr. John Eaves” is a local political commentary show that addresses significant topics within the Black community. The show will feature thoughtful conversations with elected officials, public policy experts, clergy and other opinion leaders who will partake in examination and even debate on topics that present an issue within their communities. Issues from gun control to COVID-19 will be topics of discussion.

Audrey Daniels, the AIB Network President & CEO offered the following statement:

For more than 50 years, the AIB Network has offered a platform for thoughtful conversation and diverse voices from our community and across the political and religious spectrum.  “Atlanta Speaks with Dr. John Eaves” is an example of how we continue to fulfill that mission.  As an African-American man, engaged in the Jewish community and in his congregation, as well as a seasoned politician who has also had seminary training, Dr. Eaves was a natural fit for such programming. Each episode Dr. Eaves invites his guests and viewers to explore issues from a variety of perspectives they may not have considered previously, views that also reflect the complexity of our culture and one’s own individual life experiences.
