Expanding The Fleet
Should the number of the ships in the U.S. Navy be substantially higher? That's what Virginia Senator Jim Webb is pushing. The former Secretary of the Navy says it’s a must for the military to meet its global commitments in an uncertain world. We'll talk about it today on HearSay. And we'll also profile the Army ROTC program at Old Dominion University. At a time when overall enrollment is down, the program is showing strength in numbers.

Black History Month
As Black History Month begins, guest host Barbara Hamm talks with director Marco Williams about his documentary BANISHED. The film tells the story of towns across the United States where white residents forced black families to leave their homes a hundred years ago. Williams explores the dark history of these communities and the families wrongly uprooted from their homes. We’ll also preview some events happening around Hampton Roads to highlight Black History Month.
