The Authority is a show that candidly discusses issues affecting popular culture, sports and politics. The show will discuss, deliberate and debate current events effecting these categories of focus and see how they intersect with the issue of race. The show will talk about all types of issues: gender, class, etc, but the show will have an inclination to highlight topics that deal with the issue of race. Because the host of the show, Dr. Sanford Richmond, believes there has never been an issue now or ever in the history of America that has been bigger or more dire than the issue of race, Dr. Richmond for the most part, will make this issue the featured aspect of the show. The Authority will be entertaining and informative as well as passionate and energetic for all the audience to hear.
