>> HI, I AM REGINA MITCHELL.

>> I AM SHIRLEY MIN.

AND THIS IS "YOU OUGHTA KNOW."

WE GO BACK TO EXAMINE THE LIVES OF DR. JAMES STILL.

>> WHAT SCIENCE CAN TEACH US ABOUT THE EARLIEST ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS BURIED IN DELAWARE.

>> WE'RE THE MACCLOUDS AND YOU OUGHTA KNOW CAN TEACH US ABOUT THE EARLIEST ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS BURIED IN DELAWARE.

>> THE STORY ABOUT A FRIENDSHIP TURNED INTO BUSINESS WITH SOME SWEET REWARDS.

♪ >> HI, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

AS YOU CAN SEE ONCE AGAIN WE ARE COMING TO YOU FROM OUR HOME.

>> BUT WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF GREAT STORIES FOR YOU.

>> WE BEGIN THE SHOW WITH THE STORY ABOUT AN HISTORICAL AFRICAN-AMERICAN FIGURE FROM NEW JERSEY.

DR. JAMES STILL DURING HIS TIME WAS KNOWN AS THE BLACK DOCTOR OF THE PINES.

♪ >> MY NAME IS SAMUEL -- DR. JAMES STILL WAS BORN VERY POOR.

HE BECAME INTERESTED IN BECOMING A DOCTOR BECAUSE A DOCTOR CAME TO THE HOUSE AND HE SAW HIM VACCINATE THE CHILDREN.

HE KNEW THAT DAY HE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

AS HE CAME OF AGE, HE MOVED TO PHILADELPHIA FOR SHORT TIME.

HE SAVED HIS MONEY WHILE HE WAS WORKING AND HE BOUGHT BOOKS ON BOTANY, PHYSIOLOGY, ANATOMY AND SCIENCE.

HE HAD TO DISTILL MEDICINE IN DIFFERENT PLANTS.

HE MOVED BACK HERE AND WAS ABLE TO BUY A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN THE WOODS EARLY ON.

AND HE STARTED DISTILLING MEDICINES AND SELLING HIS MEDICINES.

THE WORD GOT OUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY THAT THERE WAS THIS AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN, THIS BLACK DOCTOR OUT HERE IN NEW JERSEY.

>> I'M THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE DR. JAMES STILL HISTORIC SITE IN EDUCATION SETTING.

I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE THE GREAT GREAT GREAT NIECE OF DR. JAMES STILL.

AND RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO FURTHER THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SITE AND THE FACT THAT DR. JAMES STILL BRINGING MEDICINE TO PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY.

ONE WAY THAT I HAVE A CONNECTION PERSONALLY.

I JUST HAPPEN TO WORK IN THE FIELD OF CLINICAL PHARMACEUTICAL DEVELOPMENT.

DR. JAMES STILL WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME.

IN THE TYPE OF CURES HE CREATED FROM HERB.

HE OFTEN TREATED PATIENTS THAT MEDICAL DOCTORS WERE NOT ABLE TO TREAT.

HE WAS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE HE WAS DOING SOMETHING THAT OTHERS COULD NOT DO.

>> DURING THE TIME THE DR.

STILL LIVED, DEALING WITH THE PRESSURES -- THE PREJUDICE HE DID COME HE OVERCAME A LOT OF ADVERSITY.

A LOT OF TIME WHEN PEOPLE CAME TO HIM IT WAS A LAST DITCH EFFORT.

THEY HAD BEEN TO ANOTHER DOCTOR AND THEY WERE NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.

AFTER A WHILE, HE WAS ABLE TO START BUYING PROPERTY.

HE GOT A HELP FROM A QUAKER AND HE PAID EVERYBODY BACK.

BROUGHT -- BOUGHT THIS OLD TAVERN AND TURNED IT INTO A HOSPITAL IN A TENEMENT HOUSE.

HE WAS KNOWN AS A DOCTOR IN THE CROSSROADS OF MEDFORD BUT HE BECAME A WELL-KNOWN FATHER FIGURE AND ENTREPRENEUR.

THE CROSSROADS OF -- NEW JERSEY.

AND IT BECAME AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY OF DR.

STILL.

>> HE HAD A DESIRE -- TO COME TO UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO MAKE HERBAL MEDICINE.

HE CREATED HIS OWN BUSINESS.

HE ENDED UP BEING THE THIRD LARGEST LANDOWNER AND BURLINGTON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, WHICH FOR AN -- AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN IN HIS TIME PERIOD WAS SIGNIFICANT.

TO ACHIEVE WHAT HE DID WAS PHENOMENAL.

>> IT GIVES US THE STRENGTH OF BEING A FAMILY, AND THE FACT THAT WE CAN HAVE CLASSES WITH KIDS, NOT JUST MEDFORD TOWNSHIP BUT ALL OF THE TOWNSHIPS ALL AROUND HERE AND TO LEARN ABOUT DR. JAMES STILL AND GIVE THEM I SHOULD SAY THE AMBITION, TO FORWARD THEMSELVES IN EDUCATION.

>> BEING ABLE TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT DR.

STILL IS GREAT.

SINCE I STARTED VOLUNTEERING HERE FIVE YEARS AGO I HAVE SEEN GREAT CHANGES.

IT IS JUST AN AMAZING THING TO WORK TO MAKE AN IMPACT TO MEDFORD AS A TOWN AND TO ALL SOUTH JERSEY.

>> I STARTED THIS BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIND MY FAMILY ROOTS.

I TEAR UP BECAUSE I KNOW MY PARENTS WOULD BE REALLY PROUD OF ME.

PART OF MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A DIRECT DESCENDENT AND THAT IS WHAT I WANT MY KIDS TO REALIZE, THAT DR.

STILL WAS AN ENTREPRENEUR AND HE WAS SMART AND HE TOOK THE TIME TO LEARN AND TO TEACH AND TO PROSPER.

>> DR.

STILL WASN'T THE ONLY FAMILY MEMBER WHO MADE A GREAT STRIDE.

HIS YOUNGER BROTHER MIRACULOUSLY MADE IT OUT OF SLAVERY AND REUNITED WITH HIS FAMILY IN PHILADELPHIA.

HIS OLDER BROTHER WILLIAM WAS A WELL-KNOWN ABOLITIONIST.

HIS STORY IS BEAUTIFULLY TOLD IN WILLIAM STILL AND HIS FREEDOM STORY, A CHILDREN'S BOOK WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY DON.

>> HONORING BLACK CURES OF THE PAST WITH THE COMPETITION THAT COULD FIND -- FUND YOUR CHILD'S FUTURE.

>> WE HAVE A BLACK HISTORY MONTH CHALLENGE A SERIES OF FOUR LEARNING MODULES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EDUCATE THEM ON BLACK HISTORY'S DORIES BUT SOME THAT -- STORIES BUT SOME THAT ARE NOT WELL KNOWN.

>> WATCH A FEW VIDEOS, WRITE AN ESSAY, WIN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY.

BUT THIS CONTEST IS LIKE NO OTHER.

AIDED BY MODULES CREATED BY INTERNATIONAL TECH COMPANY EVERFI, STUDENTS ARE TAKEN THROUGH TOPICS NOT OFTEN DISCUSSED LIKE THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD, THE WEALTH GAP BETWEEN LACK AND WHITES AND HOW BLACK PEOPLE MADE MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MEDICAL FIELD.

CITIZENS MIDATLANTIC REGIONAL PRESIDENT SAYS THIS IS HOW THEY HOPE TO GET YOUNG ADULTS ENGAGED IN MAKING BLACK HISTORY A YEAR-ROUND EVENT.

>> TO YOUR POINT, THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE HEROES OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY THAT ARE IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE IN ALL CRITICAL CAREER PATHS.

THAT IS WHERE WE WANT TO FOCUS THAT ATTENTION ON.

WE WANT TO SEE HOW THAT MOVES INTO WATER THE RIGHT EDUCATIONAL OR CAREER PATHS P-- WHAT ARE THE RIGHT EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATHS?

THE ESSAY CONTEST WILL BE 300 TO 500 WORDS, AND THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE THE THREE WAYS YOU CAN KEEP THE CONVERSATION AROUND PLAQUE HISTORY GOING YEAR-ROUND-- BLACK HISTORY GOING YEAR-ROUND?

IT USES INFORMATION FROM THE COURSES TO HELP YOUR COMMUNITY.

>> THE FIRST PLACE WINNER IN THE ESSAY CONTEST WILL RECEIVE A $10,000 SCHOLARSHIP AT SECOND-PLACE A 6000 -- A $6,000 SCHOLARSHIP.

ESSAYS MONTHS BE SUBMITTED BY MIDNIGHT MARCH 1 TWO CITIZENS BANK.-- TO CITIZENS BANK.COM.

>> SCIENCE CAN TEACH US AMAZING THINGS.

IN A RECENT STUDY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN DELAWARE, THAT DATES BACK TO THE 17TH CENTURY.

>> IT'S A COLONIAL PERIOD, ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE THAT WAS ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED IN THE FIELD IN 1976.

THE SITE WAS LOCATED ON AN 800 ACRE TRACT OF LAND ACQUIRED FROM THE COLONIAL GOVERNMENT IN 1674.

WE RECOGNIZED AT THE TIME A NUMBER OF POTENTIAL SITES COULD BE THREATENED AROUND HER HOBOS AND LEWES AREA.

-- AROUND REHOBETH AND LEWES AREA.

THAT IS WHERE WE FOUND THE CONCENTRATION OF ARTIFACTS.

IN RETROSPECT, THAT WAS PROBABLY A PRETTY GOOD THING BECAUSE MOST OF THE SITES WE IDENTIFIED IN THE EARLY MID 1970'S SURVEYS ARE NOW GONE.

PROBABLY THE GREATEST SUPPLIES FOR THE LOCATION OF THIS BURIAL.

♪ IT ALSO IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY LOOK AT INDIVIDUALS WHAT THEIR LIFE WAS LIKE THROUGH FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY.

>> WE STARTED BY COLLECTING DNA SAMPLES FROM ALL 11 OF THE BURIALS.

AVERY'S REST IS SUCH AN EARLY SITE.

1680'S TO 1710 SITE.

THESE ARE THE EARLIEST AFRICAN-AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS RECOVERED IN DELAWARE AT THE TIME.

EVEN THE PRESENCE OF THEM IS COMPLETELY HISTORIC AND VERY SIGNIFICANT.

HISTORICAL RECORD SAY THAT THERE IS AN ESTIMATED ONLY 500 AFRICAN INDIVIDUALS BY 1700 IN DELAWARE.

SO IT IS A VERY SMALL POPULATION.

WE DID MITOCHONDRIAL CONTROLLED SEQUENCING.

THE DNA IS A TYPE OF DNA THAT WE HAS THAT IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS INHERITED BY THE MOTHER.

SO WE CAN LOOK AT MATERNAL ANCESTRY SPECIFICALLY.

WHAT WE LOOK AT ARE ACTUALLY REALLY SMALL CHANGES IN THE DNA.

SO WE LOOK AT THE ACCUMULATION OF THESE LITTLE MUTATIONS IN OUR DNA TO SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER AND WHERE PEOPLE COME FROM.

WITH THREE AFRICAN INDIVIDUALS CAME FROM AREAS OF WEST AFRICA, SOUTH AFRICA, CENTRAL AND ALSO POTENTIALLY EASTERN AFRICA.

SO, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND THINKING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN AND AFRICAN-DESCENDED PEOPLES IN DELAWARE DURING THIS EARLY PERIOD OF THE 17TH CENTURY.

>> ARCHAEOLOGY CAN GIVE US A CLEMSON OF PEOPLE'S LIVES THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE PERIOD.

-- CAN GIVE US A GLIMPSE OF PEOPLE'S LIFE.

IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE.

IT IS ABOUT THE SLAVES THAT WERE THERE.

>> DNA BECOMES PART OF THE TOOLKIT THAT WE CAN USE TO TRY TO RECONSTRUCT WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE, WHAT WERE THEIR STORIES LIKE?

WHAT WERE THEIR EXPERIENCES LIVING?

AND HOW CAN WE LEARN FROM THEIR STORIES TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ENVIRONMENT WAS IN THE 17TH CENTURY CHESAPEAKE?

IT IS A VERY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

>> THAT'S REALLY FASCINATING.

YOU CAN FIND LINKS TO MORE INFORMATION ON AVERY'S REST ON HER WEBSITE.

>> IF YOU HAVE DRIVEN ON I-95 LATELY YOU HAVE NOTICED DIGITAL BILLBOARDS DISPLAYING BLACK HISTORICAL FIGURES.

LAMAR ADVERTISING CAME UP WITH THE IDEA IS A WAY TO HONOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS.

>> THE PURPOSE BEHIND IT WAS TO INFORM AND EDUCATE THE POPULATION OF THE PHILLY AREA OF SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS WELL-KNOWN TO GET OUT SOME INFORMATION ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS THAT WERE THE FIRST TO DO SOMETHING.

AND ONE OF THEM OF GIDEON BLUFORD, THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN IN SPACE.

AND HE IS A PENN STATE GRAD.

>> THERE ARE MORE 600 DIGITAL BILLBOARDS FEATURING AFRICAN AMERICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THE COMPANY SAYS THIS IS AN ONGOING EVENT.

THEY WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU WANT TO SEE FEATURED WHEN THEY DO IT AGAIN.

>> THERE ARE HISTORY MAKERS ALL AROUND US.

EVEN IN OUR FAMILIES.

PRODUCER KAREN SMILES SHARES A STORY OF A PHILADELPHIA WOMAN WHOSE TRACED HER FAMILY'S ROOTS BACK TO THE DAYS BEFORE AMERICA TRACED HER ROOTS BACK TO THE DAYS BEFORE AMERICA.

>> I WANT TO LEAVE FOR THE REST OF MY FAMILY A DOCUMENTED HISTORY GOING BACK AS FAR AS I CAN GO IN THIS COUNTRY.

WE WERE FAMILY IN THE COLONIES BEFORE THIS COUNTRY WAS AMERICA.

I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THE ORAL HISTORY.

MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE KNEW HER HISTORY AND IT WAS PASSED DOWN GENERATION TO GENERATION.

IN OUR FAMILY IN THE EARLY 1700S, WE COULD READ, WRITE, WE WERE FREE PEOPLE.

WE WILL ABLE TO INFLUENCE COMMUNITIES.

WE WERE TEACHERS, DOCTORS.

WE STARTED CHURCHES.

IN 2019, AT THE CONFERENCE FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY I WAS ABLE TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO THEM, MY RESEARCH ON MY FAMILY BUT ALSO HOW TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE ORGANIZE THEIR DOCUMENTATION.

THIS HAS MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES, DEATH CERTIFICATES, OBITUARIES.

IT STARTS WITH ME AND IT GOES BACK EIGHT GENERATIONS.

WHEN YOU'RE DOING ANY GENEALOGICAL ON AFRICAN-AMERICANS INTERVIEW THE OLDEST MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY, START COLLECTING OBITUARIES.

OBITUARIES HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION.

DIGITIZE AND MAKE COPIES.

WE ALL HAVE A MAJOR FAMILY GROUP.

IN MY CASE IT IS THE BUSTLES I WILL TALK ABOUT TODAY.

HE CAME TO THIS COUNTRY AND MOVED TO PHILADELPHIA.

HE WAS A PRETTY WEALTHY MAN.

HE WAS A MAGISTRATE, HE WAS A CLERK FOR THE COURTS.

AND WILLIAM PENN ASKED HIM TO BE MAYOR.

SO, HE BECAME THE FIRST MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA.

HIS SON HAD A MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN THAT WAS FREED BY HIS FATHER AND THEY HAD FIVE CHILDREN.

MY FAMILY STARTS WITH ONE OF THOSE FIVE CHILDREN, ELIZABETH MORE.

SHE MARRIED -- TYRUS.

HE WAS BORN A SLAVE, THE SON OF A PROMINENT QUAKER LAWYER LIVING IN BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY.

HIS MOTHER WAS AN ENSLAVED WOMAN.

HE LEARNED TO BAKE, HE LEARNED TO READ AND WRITE.

THERE'S DOCUMENTATION THAT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BAKING BREAD AT THE TROOPS AT VALLEY FORGE 1777.

HE OWNED HIS OWN BAKERY, RAN A SCHOOL TO EDUCATE COLORED KIDS IN HIS HOME.

HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF A SOCIETY THAT HELPED OTHER AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THEIR QUEST TO BE FREE.

CYRUS BUSTLE WAS THE FIRST TO RELEASE HIS MONEY AND THE FREE SOCIETY BENEFICIAL SOCIETY AND HE RELEASED IT TO ALLOW ST. THOMAS CHURCH TO PURCHASE A BUILDING.

CYRUS BUSTLE HAD TWO SONS, DAVID AND JOSEPH.

BOTH WERE VERY ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

HE WAS ACTUALLY A TEACHER IN HARRISBURG AND RAN THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD THERE.

HIS LETTERS ARE PUBLISHED IN THE UNDERGROUND RAILROADS BOOK WE -- WAS PUBLISHED.

DAVID BUSTLE, HE WAS A VERY FAMOUS PAINTER.

DAVID BUSTLE BOWSER WAS COMMISSIONED TO PAINT THE FLAGS FOR THE CIVIL WAR TROOPS.

HE PAINTED 11 TOTAL FLAGS.

DAVID'S GRANDDAUGHTER WAS GERTRUDE, WHO MARRIED NATHAN -- HER SISTER MARRIED PAUL.

PAUL WILSON'S FATHER WAS WILLIAM WILSON WHO WAS BORN A SLAVE, GRADUATED -- BECAME THE REFERENT WILLIAM WILSON.

HAD A CHURCH IN PRINCETON NEW JERSEY.

PAUL WILSON WAS A LAWYER, OUR PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER, A GRADUATE OF COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL, AN ACTOR, A SINGER, AN ACTIVISTS A HISTORIAN, A MAN OF THE PEOPLE HE WAS DENIED A LIVING DURING THE MCCARTHY ERA.

AND HE WAS LABELED AS A COMMUNIST SHE WAS NOT -- WHICH SHE WAS NOT.

THEY TOOK HIS PASSPORT.

HE WAS NOT ABLE TO WORK IN THIS COUNTRY.

HE LIVED THE LAST 10 YEARS OF HIS LIFE WITH HIS SISTER IN WEST PHILADELPHIA.

IN THIS 1912 FAMILY REUNION PICTURE, PAUL WILSON WAS A BOY.

2018, WE HAD OUR 65TH FAMILY REUNION.

>> SHE'S BEEN RELENTLESS IN KNOWING AND FOLLOWING OUR FAMILY HISTORY.

IT'S AMAZING TO ME THAT SHE COULD SIT AND JUST RECITE NAMES FROM 1600'S.

I THINK THE WHOLE FAMILY OWES HER A DEBT OF GRATITUDE, BECAUSE WITHOUT HER DOGGED DETERMINATION WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THIS.

>> THIS IS A PASSION FOR ME.

I PROMISED MY GRANDMOTHER THAT I WOULD KEEP THIS HISTORY GOING.

AND I AM BUILDING A LEGACY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

>> TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS REQUIRED.

THEY ARE FOLLOWING THAT EXAMPLE.

THROUGH THEIR FUTURE FOUNDATION, THE COUPLE IS GIVING BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

>> THERE ARE AREAS THAT WE FELT LIKE, NEEDS, HELP, NEEDS OUR ASSISTANCE AND WE JUST INSERTED OURSELVES WHEREVER.

OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE DONE A LOT FROM HELPING OUT WITH THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH TO 5K CHALLENGES.

NOW TO FORMING OUR OWN FOUNDATION OF OUR OWN THAT WE CAN KIND OF BUILD IT OUT HOW WE SEE FIT.

>> THEY ARE USING THEIR PLATFORM TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES.

MANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD.

>> WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A HUGE HEART FOR EDUCATION.

AND WANTING TO ADVANCE THE EQUITY IN EDUCATION WHICH IS A BIG STRUGGLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD.

JUST SEEING THE DIFFERENT AREAS.

FOR OUR FOUNDATION, CHANGE OUR FUTURE, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THOSE LABELS OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.

WE WANT TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES AND GIVE THESE YOUNGER STUDENTS A CHANCE TO COMPETE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS SOME OF THEIR PEERS.

FOR RONNIE AND I WHAT HIT US THE HARDEST WAS NOTICING THAT FROM BOTH OF US GOING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, WE BOTH GOT THERE ON TWO DIFFERENT PATHS.

>> ONE WAY THEY ARE LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD IS BY REACHING OUT TO AND LISTENING TO THEM.

>> CHANGE OUR FUTURE, WE PARTNERED WITH WHYY.

JUST KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A NEED, THERE WAS A VOICE THAT WAS NOT BEING HEARD.

THERE ARE STUDENTS, THERE ARE COMMUNITIES THAT NEED HELP.

THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE HELP BECAUSE THEIR VOICES ARE NOT BEING HEARD.

SO, WITH THERE BEING A COMMONALITY BETWEEN BOTH ORGANIZATIONS WE KNEW THAT EDUCATION WAS HUGE.

WE KNEW THAT THE CHANGE THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE NEEDED TO START FROM US GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN ROLE MODELS, THE MACLEODS SAY THEY WANT TO HELP OUR YOUTH FINE MENTORS THEY CAN LOOK UP TO.

>> NOT EVERYONE HAS A MENTOR OR HAS SOMEONE WHO CAN -- WHO THEY CAN RELATE TO.

YOU HAVE TO DIG DEEP AND IN SOME OF THESE GAME CHANGING STORIES WE ARE HEARING, PEOPLE ARE FINDING CELEBRITIES, THEY ARE FINDING SINGERS, REACHING OUT TO FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE GAME CHANGERS BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS WATCHING YOUR EVERY MOVE.

SO, FOR US, BEING BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO BE THAT PERSON THAT SOMEONE CAN LOOK UP TO AND SAY, "I CAN BE A DOCTOR, I CAN BE A TOP SCIENTIST, I CAN BE AN ASTRONAUT, I CAN BE THE VICE PRESIDENT AS A WOMAN AND A BROWN WOMAN."

FIND SOMEBODY THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU, LOOK AT THEIR PERSPECTIVES, LOOK AT ALL THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND LET THAT DRIVE YOU TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS.

>> AS HEART HEALTH MONTH COMES TO A CLOSE, TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS FROM EINSTEIN HOSPITAL YOU CAN INCORPORATE DAILY.

>> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT HEART HEALTH IS MORE THAN 80% OF THE TIMES IT IS PREVENTABLE.

SO, IF WE CAN INSTITUTE THINGS EARLY ON TO PREVENT HEART DISEASE FROM HAPPENING LATER IN LIFE.

SIGNS THAT YOU MAY FIND FOR HEART DISEASE ARE CHEST PAINS, TROUBLE BREATHING, DIZZINESS, IF YOU ARE FEELING LIGHTHEADEDNESS.

OTHER THINGS TO LOOK FOR IF YOU FEEL TIRED ALL THE TIME IS LACKING ENERGY.

WOMEN PRESENT DIFFERENTLY THAN MEN.

THEY DON'T NECESSARILY PRESENT WITH THAT TYPICAL CHEST PAIN.

SOMETIMES THEY JUST COME IN WITH NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION AND YOU DISCOVER THEY HAVE HEART DISEASE.

ON AVERAGE MEN PRESENT AROUND THE AGE OF 65.

FOR WOMEN IT IS OLDER, 72.

THINGS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT AND YOUR LIFESTYLE INCLUDE EATING HEALTHY, CONTROLLING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, CHOLESTEROL.

IF YOU ARE DIABETIC, CONTROLLING YOUR BLOOD SUGARS.

TRYING TO INCORPORATE EXERCISE INTO YOUR LIFE, AT LEAST 150 MINUTES A WEEK.

PEOPLE ARE AFRAID THAT THEY COME TO THE HOSPITAL THEY WILL GET COVID-19 WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE, BECAUSE HOSPITALS ARE SOME OF THE SAFEST PLACES BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PRECAUTIONS.

WHAT I WOULD SAY IS IF YOU'RE HAVING ANY SYMPTOMS THAT ARE CONCERNING, CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR.

IF YOU'RE HAVING CHEST PAIN IN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL, DO NOT DELAY YOUR CARE.

>> WHEN COVID FIRST HIT, TWO FRIENDS IN DELAWARE STARTED BAKING CINNAMON BUNS TO KEEP BUSY.

AFTER THEY POSTED PICTURES OF THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE ORDERS STARTED ROLLING IN.

AND THAT IS HOW THE CINNAMON BUN EXCHANGE BEGAN.

ALMOST EVERY NIGHT, TONY RIZZO ROLLS DOZENS OF HIS SECRET RECIPE CINNAMON BUNS FOR A BUSINESS HE NEVER SAW COMING.

>> LITTLE DID I KNOW IT WOULD TURN INTO THIS.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY -- WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS?

>> CERTAINLY NOT TONY.

FURLOUGHED WHEN COVID JUST HIT HE WHIPPED UP A BATCH OF CINNAMON BUNS FOR HIS KIDS AND POSTED A PICTURE ON FACEBOOK.

>> TONY IS A CHEF.

AND ANYTHING THAT HE MAKES IS AMAZING.

SO, I SAID, TONY, YOU NEED TO MAKE ME A DOZEN.

HE WAS LIKE, REALLY?

HE DROPPED THEM OFF THE NEXT MORNING AT ABOUT 8 A.M.

THEY WERE STILL SUPER WARM.

THEY WERE SO GOOD.

SO, I POSTED ON FACEBOOK.

AND, WITHIN HOURS, I HAD PEOPLE MESSAGING ME WANTING THESE CINNAMON BUNS.

SO I MESSAGED TONY.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BAKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE?

HE SAID WHY NOT?

I'M HOME.

I'M FURLOUGHED.

I HAVE THE TIME.

>> TO KEEP UP WITH THE ORDERS, HE CREATED THE CINNAMON BUN EXCHANGE ON FACEBOOK.

>> THE MAIN THING TONY WANTED TO DO WAS GIVE BACK TO THOSE, THE FIRST RESPONDERS.

>> WE'VE DONATED TO EVERY HOSPITAL IN THE AREA, MANY DOCTOR'S OFFICES, FIRE STATIONS.

THE WHOLE WILMINGTON FIRE STATION, WE BROUGHT 14 DOZEN.

IT GREW FROM THAT POINT WHERE WE NEVER LOOKED BACK.

EVERYBODY IS IN THAT SAME MODE WHERE STUCK AT HOME FEELING HELPLESS BUT NOT FEELING HOPELESS.

>> WE ALSO BROUGHT IN A THIRD PARTNER.

YES, THAT IS HIS LAST NAME.

>> AT THAT POINT IN TIME, HEARING WHAT LAURIE AND TONY WERE WORKING ON, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SHOT TO HELP THEM BUILD THE CINNAMON BUN EXCHANGE BUSINESS.

>> AND GERALD'S BACKGROUND IN MARKETING AND TECHNOLOGY WAS THE ICING ON -- IN THIS CASE, CINNAMON -- BUN.

>> PROBABLY COULD NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT BUT SURPRISINGLY MANAGING TEAMS AND PROJECTS IN A TECHNOLOGY STATE, A LOT OF IT TRANSFERS TO TRYING TO BUILD A BUSINESS.

♪ >> THE CINNAMON BUN EXCHANGE ROLLS OUT ROUGHLY 35 DOZEN A DAY.

AND IN ADDITION TO DELIVERY, THE BUSN ARE -- BUNS ARE BEING SOLD IN SMALL MARKETS IN WILMINGTON AND DELAWARE COUNTY, P.A.

>> IT TOOK OFF BECAUSE PEOPLE WANTED THAT COMFORT.

THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A WARM HUG .

PEOPLE JUST NEEDED SOMETHING.

SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM SMILE.

>> A DOZEN CINNAMON BUNS COSTS $25.00.

A FOUR PACK COSTS $12.00.

THEY DELIVER AN OFFER PICK UP, OR YOU CAN BUY THEM ONLINE AT CINNAMON BUN EXCHANGE.COM.

>> A GROUP OF PHILLY FRIENDS WANT YOU TO ADD THEIR NEW CARD GAME TO YOUR GAME NIGHT.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, THE PARTY ARGUMENT GAME, LAUNCHED OFFICIALLY THIS MONTH.

THE CREATOR SHARED HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA.

>> CAPITAL PUNISHMENT CAME FROM US SITTING AROUND THE BAR AND MAKING ARGUMENTS FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING ARGUMENTS.

>> WHEN COVID FORCED THE BARS TO CLOSE, THE GUYS USED THEIR TIME WISELY.

>> INSIDE THE HOUSE, NOT MUCH TO DO WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

>> THE GAME IS PLAYED BY CHOOSING A CARD WITH THE NAME OF A POP-CULTURE FIGURE.

IT IS UP TO YOU TO PRESENT YOUR CASE TO THE JUDGE AND PROVE WHY THAT PERSON SHOULD RECEIVE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

OF COURSE, ALL IN GOOD FUN.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN CHECK OUT CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR YOURSELF.
