While giving the commencement address to @ucbsoj's Class of 2022 on Sunday, Grace Lee (@anothergracelee) invoked the words of the late activist and philosopher Grace Lee Boggs, who would often open an event with this still-resonant Q: “What time is it on the clock of the world?”

It’s no secret that at *this* time on the clock of our world, many public institutions are in crisis: public media & public schools, the public health system & the prison system. As we build on the foundation of @_ViewersLikeUs_ podcast, we’ll keep Boggs’ prompt top of mind.

Many of these filmmakers’ projects have aired on @PBS. Now, we hope to see @PBS follow @NEHgov's lead by continuing to prioritize, invest in & sustain these makers—and their vital work—with significant financial support in the decades ahead.
We also explore our hopes & fears for America’s—and public media’s—future in @_ViewersLikeUs_
All 6 eps are available to listen now, & our “History Rhymes” timeline documents the decades-long battle to diversify PBS & expand its lens on American history: https://t.co/EBzVr3yMWT
I highly recommend @anothergracelee's important, engaging and super relevant podcast @_ViewersLikeUs_ which"documents the growing disconnect between PBS’s founding mission and the increasingly diverse public it was created to serve.” https://t.co/weIdgjmoIF
