Good morning, and thank you for joining me for The Scoop with Tanya Flanagan. I'm so happy you decided to wake up and start your day with me. Here on The Scoop, where we talk about life, joy, funny moments, trending topics, and so much more. We promise to keep you in the know and find out what you know.

Good morning, Las Vegas, and welcome to the show. Welcome to the first Sunday morning with me in 2025. It's always amazing to realize that we have crossed into another year looking at resolutions, plans, goals, past accomplishments, memories, experiences, but it is always a blessing to be a part of the next year moving forward and to have another opportunity each day is a blessing and realizing that another year has arrived and we are just five days into it.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:01:16
It's truly delightful. It's amazing sometimes how time flies. And with that coming into 2025 and being in January and going into sort of the holiday season, the second wave of, I guess the first quarter of, but MLK Day is approaching Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:01:35
celebration is approaching. And it is a big deal here in the Las Vegas Valley. We love our cultural legacies. And so this morning we're going to be talking about that cultural legacy and some things pertaining to it, related to it, that I think are of great historical value. And as always, I like to share information that you may know a little bit about,

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:01:55
allow you to learn a little bit more in that area, and expand your knowledge and expand the reach of organizations here doing great work. So this morning I have a young woman who has been in the studio before. So I'm excited to welcome Ms. Camila Bywaters back to the show. Quick good morning to you, and then we'll get to some introductions in a second. Good morning. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:02:19
You're my favorite radio personality. Well, thank you. Oh, my gosh, I've become someone's favorite radio personality. Let me just park up and wake up for real and take the toothpicks out of my eyeballs that I put in so early in the morning. But no, I'm always excited to be here. Thank you.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:02:36
That's really kind. We also have joining us this morning, and we have him on the phone, and I'm glad he was able to get up and call in to hang out with us, Mr. Rodney Smith. And I've known Rodney for a long time, and he is a jewel in the community and just one of the most conscious people that I know and will engage you in conversation and teach you while talking to you. So be ready folks to learn a lot. He's a wealth of

Rodney Smith
0:03:04
information. Rodney, welcome to the show. Good morning everyone. It is so good to be here and yes we have known each other for quite a long time.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:03:16
Yes. So thank you. Happy New Year to you. I hope it rang in cheerfully and you had a good time with family and friends and whatever you both decided to do. But let's get into it.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:03:27
So today you guys have an event that you're working on. It's coming up in the community. A lot of things are going to be coming up in the next few weeks as we march toward January 20th to celebrate the King holiday here in the Valley. Dr. King was born on January 15th, but this year his birthday is being celebrated on that Monday which is the third Monday in the month of January which is always when it is celebrated.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:03:50
So it falls on January 20th this year. And so you guys as we get ready for King week and everything else is going to start going on and then we move into Black History Month. The King holiday is always a great segue into Black History Month as well, because it begins to set the tone of appreciation, of legacy, of celebration, of reflection and accountability and atonement, what have you. So what do you guys have going on? Thank you. Again, my name is Camila Bywaters.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:04:22
of the Las Vegas Alliance of Black School Educators, for short, known as LAVAPSI, and also the co-chair for the National Association of Equal Justice in America. And I'm really excited about the events that are coming up around Martin Luther King Jr.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:04:38
I'm always rejuvenated, given a fresh awakening to restart my thinking and my service around our community. I really wanted to give our community an opportunity to just learn more about the candlelight vigil that is hosted within our community. And Mr. Rodney is the founder of that event

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:05:05
and I really wanted him to explain the history around why he has been so dedicated to the work and ensuring that our community always has an opportunity to participate. There's many events that will be happening around Martin Luther King Jr's birthday and in celebration of his life and legacy and his justice work. Some of the events are not free and we want to make sure that we offer an opportunity for our community to come together, to rejuvenate, to celebrate and really honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:05:39
And I would love for Mr. Rodney to talk a little bit about the history around our candlelight vigil.

Rodney Smith
0:05:46
Absolutely.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:05:46
So with that, Rodney, tell us a little bit about you. Tell the, share with the audience a little bit about who you are and then, um, go into the history of the candlelight vigil. Okay.

Rodney Smith
0:05:55
And again, happy new year, everyone.

Rodney Smith
0:05:57
This is the holiday season. We tend to think of February as Black History Month, but I tend to think that our Black history celebrations actually start with Christmas as we go into Kwanzaa, because if you know the true history of Christmas, you remember the Black Madonna, so it gives you an idea of who Jesus really was. So I am typically associated with the gathering that was started by the late, great Sam Smith.

Rodney Smith
0:06:27
He was a fire marshal here in Las Vegas and also the only owner of a black bookstore in the state. And Sam started the gathering so that we could have a place to meet. And that was 18 years ago. Well, it just so happens that that's right about the time

Rodney Smith
0:06:45
that a young lady came to me named Stephanie Washington and says, Rodney, can you believe there's no celebration right in the community for Dr. King? And I thought about that and I said, wow, you know you're right.

Rodney Smith
0:07:10
And she says, I've talked to the politicians and nobody's doing anything, can you help? And I said, well sure, what can I do? And she says, well we need to put on within our community.

Rodney Smith
0:07:21
It was designed to be something in our community, for our community, put on by people of the community and for it to be free, educational, and then something unique in it is we give people opportunity, one minute, to share what Dr. King's legacy means to them. And one reason why, another reason why this became so important, is that in going to

Rodney Smith
0:07:57
schools, she and I both realized that some of our young people didn't really know who Dr. King was. Some people actually thought he was a president and we thought that we were losing his unique Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King

Rodney Smith
0:08:11
Jr. statues in the world right here literally in our backyard, we thought it

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:08:21
was a shame for that to waste and for his legacy to die and we thought by putting on the candlelight vigil would be a way to educate and also to keep his memory alive. Well I love all that. I'm It sits for those who are not familiar with the statue of Dr. King

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:08:31
It sits at the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Cary Avenue At the border of I guess it's kind of still the historic west side but kind of in the border between the cities of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas at that intersection, it's a diagonal to the Pearson Community Center. And so it sits on the campus

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:08:58
of the Clark County Community Resource Center. That's right at the northeast corner of Cary and MLK. And that statue was unveiled, I wanna say it was 2002, maybe 2001 now, but almost 20, about 25 years ago, that statue was unveiled in the community. Tina Allen, the sculptress, may she rest in peace, designed it for our community.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:09:27
I love that.

Rodney Smith
0:09:29
And Tina Allen was a black woman who designed the statue and had the statue constructed. The statue was actually put in place, I believe it was on 2001.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:09:44
Okay, I knew I was working. Yeah, I actually remember. That's awesome. I'm glad to remember the exact year. Yeah.

Rodney Smith
0:09:51
So this statue, I'm glad that you pointed out the location because the location was purposeful. Vegas, North Las Vegas, and of course West Las Vegas sort of meet in one spot right there at the corner of Cary and Martin Luther King Boulevard. That was to show the unity and it was to bring unity literally in the community of this Las Vegas Valley. So that was very purposely done in placing it there.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:10:21
Yeah, and I want to give some props to as we talk about the statue be remiss if it's not mentioned that that is a project that Came online under the direction of former Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates and she found Tina Tina Alvin has pieces that are throughout the country because she has a Alex Haley at James Alex Haley statue in another part of the country and she does these huge a lifelike bronze statues and Commissioner Gates found her and commissioned her to do the piece.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:10:55
I love that. So over the years, members of the King family have come out to be a part of our Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations. They were there the day the statue was unveiled. So it is only befitting that the candlelight vigil in honor of him happens at that location in this community because it has such a presence.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:11:15
And I want to say thank you to you, Rodney, for continuing to carry the torch and making sure young people, and it was really surprising when you said that you were going into the schools and children were unaware of the history. And I think that surprises me because as a child, I attended an elementary school named for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. So I went to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:11:35
Elementary School. So you can only imagine that 300, you know, year round, it was a big deal, but especially going into the time of his life when we would celebrate his birthday. It was a huge deal to do essays and tell stories and understand different aspects of Dr. King's life, the purpose and the work that he did. And then my family being from the South and reading those stories about the sweltering

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:11:57
heat of oppression and the right for civil, the fight for civil rights and voting access and things of that nature. When you travel to the South, you can see the stories that you have been told. You now can visualize pieces of this, because when you go South, you still see shanties. You sometimes still see people who haven't taken down outhouses that may be on their properties. You see tin roofs. You see broken structures and you just you see the red dirt and so you see it and then you even see like the old bridge sometimes that A new bridge has been erected, but the old bridge hasn't been taken out. And so you see

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:12:33
um these pieces of history and you see the homes that remind you of the stories that have been told and so It's powerful, but when you hear that children Really don't know and this is such a popular piece of history. It's not like you're learning about, I don't know, Phyllis Wheatley, who was the first black woman to have something published. You're talking about popular history. So it's surprising when you say

Rodney Smith
0:12:59
kids don't know popular history. So the one thing that we've learned most recently from the election cycle is just kind of use it or lose it. And if you're not actively engaging with young people and on a continuous basis or for anyone for that matter. A lot of these things we may think they have but they don't really have and then they conflate it with other

Rodney Smith
0:13:34
things and for like you said for Dr. King to be such a popular figure that actually has a holiday that we're about to celebrate for young folks not to know who he is, well that means a generation if to know?

Rodney Smith
0:13:42
So there was a sense of urgency, almost that fierce urgency of now that Dr. King spoke about that for our community with one of the most, if not the most unique Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. statue in this country outside of the one that was unveiled later in Washington DC. We have it right here and a lot of folks didn't know about it and I thought that if we did the candlelight

Rodney Smith
0:14:15
visit there we could sort of reinvigorate and remind people of what we have and that we would then people would start to come out and it's a

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:14:32
pavilion, it's a park, it's where you can come and sit, you can walk around it's almost like a rotunda where you can see the different quotes, some of the

Rodney Smith
0:14:31
but the life that we're living now, which was just a dream to him.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:14:35
So when will the candlelight vigil take place? I want to make sure in case anyone ever has to not hear everything we're talking about this morning, I want to make sure we insert the date and the time and things of that nature as often as we can. So can you share when it is, times, things that they can expect to experience when they come out for it? So we're planning our event for Sunday, January 19th at 4 p.m.,

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:14:59
and it will be at 1344 West Cary Avenue, North Las Vegas, Nevada, 89030. And you're welcome to join us. We will plan. We have a great event planned. I'm looking to have some organizations come and share some of their work in the community, so resources will be available for our community.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:15:21
So we're hoping that you will come out and share with your friends and family. So, again, that's Sunday, January 19th. Okay, so there will be different organizations with tables set up? Yes. Is that what I'm hearing? Yes.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:15:33
Will there be artwork, performances? Yes, we are going to have a few performances. We'll have Martin Luther King speeches being played and just an opportunity for our community to get together. And we'll hear from some of our community elected officials and our community members and just have a great time together as we celebrate the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr. I have been to several of the Candlelight Vigil programs, and it really is a beautiful, it's a beautiful display, quite a

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:16:04
beautiful tribute to see all the people take a moment to acknowledge the past sacrifices and then to light the candles and to stand together. Used to be chillier and now I don't know if it will actually be chilly. We never know where we're going to get anymore. It's this day of climate change and global warming but it used to be freezing. Now it is mild but it is just a nice time to come together. And the statue area is, as Rodney has mentioned, very beautiful.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:16:33
So it's a great backdrop for a momentous occasion, and everyone is welcome. It's good for children. It's good for parents. It's really a great family event. So in addition to the candlelight vigil, you guys, is there anything else that we want to also make sure people know that you guys are working on or they can expect

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:16:54
that you're tied to as we head into the King Week month and everything else beyond? Absolutely. Mr. Rodney, you want to go ahead and start with you? I know you have a lot of great events coming up.

Rodney Smith
0:17:05
Well, there's an initiative that Dr. Theodore Ransaw and I've been working on and we're doing it now in conjunction with Carol Santiago at the Multicultural Bookstore which is also a part of the Historic Westside and we want to turn reading into a sport. We see that a lot of our young folks don't know things,

Rodney Smith
0:17:47
certain things about Dr. King and others and a lot of that is that a lot of them Eventually we'll be able to have schools challenge schools. They'll get letterman's jackets. And it's really an initiative of love on both our parts. We're both readers.

Rodney Smith
0:17:54
Sam Smith was the reader and was quite knowledgeable from all that he read. So that's something that we are working on now and we will unveil it to the world shortly.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:18:08
Well, I am really, I'm excited to hear how that particular project turns out and what it will entail. You mentioned the multicultural bookstore that Mrs. Santiago has.

Rodney Smith
0:18:21
Yes, Carol Santiago came to the gathering.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:18:25
So where is the bookstore, Rodney? Like, tell us more about where this is because I don't think a lot of people realize there is a multicultural bookstore and bookstores are making some what of you know They were kind of becoming dinosaurs becoming somewhat extinct and it was so easy to grab it all on your Kindle having a journalism background I love to turn the pages and I want to open the heart back

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:18:44
so when you mentioned Sam it always is a warm spot for me Sam Smith because I went to Victory for so many years and I would just get out of church and go down the street and any other day as well but you could always count on Sam to be at the bookstore on that Sunday with the doors open and come in there talk with him and he say Miss Flanagan I know I pick up a book and he would have the paper back and he said Miss Flanagan I know you want the hardback I do Mr. Smith and Sam would order the hardback for me no

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:19:13
matter what that book was he would order the hardback copy for me and It would come in and I would go back and get it But you just would spend a couple hours of the most interesting people were always at the native son bookstore, and it was just this cool hard of Historic West Las Vegas at the corner of Monroe and D and you pop into the store and he's always there playing chess and and teaching people and cultivating the mind and encouraging folks to become firefighters to pursue their dreams to

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:19:43
seek education to understand what has been written in any number of books, but I've gotten some jewels from him Black of the buried sweet of the just all kinds of books. So it's really cool that you are pushing to encourage and cultivate this behavior in our children because I think it is a loss of, somewhat of a loss of appreciation because they're just so technologically driven right now.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:20:08
And they don't slow down the same way that they used to.

Rodney Smith
0:20:13
Well, one thing that we know from studies is that children who read off of tablets and screens, though they are reading, they don't have the same comprehension level as if they're reading from the old-fashioned book, paper. And we find that a lot of children don't read outside of school because their parents don't read. And Sam, as you just mentioned, was a great proponent of reading. Typically, he would give you something to take home with you to read and then he would

Rodney Smith
0:20:48
quiz you on it when you would come back to the bookstore. So one of the other initiatives that we used to do with the late Shirley Barber is we used to collect books and then redistribute it and give them back to the community and then

Rodney Smith
0:21:15
I continued that later on where we would give because Sam says children are less likely to be touched by the ills of society in the legal system if they have a personal library of ten books and for themselves.

Rodney Smith
0:21:18
So, for years, we used to give 10 books out to a thousand people and those books were books that were repurposed from within our community. So, it was to take sort of the old adage, one man's garbage and turn it into another man's treasure and to see the children read and we thought that was a way to carry on Sam's legacy of literacy. And also with this initiative with Dr. Ransall and I is another opportunity to expand on that and just make it fun where children will want to do it

Rodney Smith
0:21:52
because we know when there's a competition everybody wants to win that competition and so that's what we're going to make it is a competition, a It's a sport. And this, yes, I'm glad you said it because all of this that I have done goes back to Sam Smith in one way or the other.

Rodney Smith
0:22:11
And I'm just doing my part as best I can to continue his legacy

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:22:16
and the things that he shared with me. Well, I wanna say thank you to you for having such respect for Sam's memory and what he contributed to the community that even though some have come along now and they have no idea who he is, to continue, and he was so humble because I remember inviting Sam to receive like a humanitarian of the year award from the commissioner's office.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:22:40
And he said, okay, okay, I mean, I talked to him, and you know, he didn't show up to get this award, but we still recognized him because he was always so humble. He never wanted any praise for what he was doing. It was more of a, this is what you should be doing. And I think that's the message that resonates from someone like Sam and from the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. It's not to be praised for it. This is really what you should be doing. Exactly. Yeah.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:23:04
Giving, working, cultivating, growing, pouring into your community. This is the lift and it is

Rodney Smith
0:23:09
heavy, but collectively, this is the lift that we should all be doing. And if more of us do it, there is less to be done. And Carol Santiago saw that we needed our own bookstore where children could come and pick their own books. And so she started the multicultural bookstore and she has a portion of it that she is a corner that she calls the Sam Smith corner. And she has a portrait of Sam there because I shared the bookstore with her and of course she wasn't here to experience that and that was sort of what helped her make the decision to start the bookstore and it is called the Multicultural Bookstore and it's located at 2027 Revere Street in Las Vegas. 2027 Revere Street, Las Vegas.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:23:58
So I'm trying to picture a cross street there something Revere and is that Cary or? If you know where the old 7th

Rodney Smith
0:24:08
Seas is which is now WSO Westside Oasis. Absolutely. It's actually on the back side of that building it's attached to it or right across the street from the Nevada partners being on the east side of Revere and then on the west side. So it's basically Lake Mead and Revere.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:24:26
So it's on the northwest corner of Lake Mead and Revere. Yes, it is.

Rodney Smith
0:24:32
That is it.

Rodney Smith
0:24:33
Okay.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:24:34
That gives us some point of identification. I like to make sure we don't rush through social media, so I'm going to ask you now because I'm sure people will find that the things that we've talked about are very interesting and both of you dynamic and just curious about what you're doing going forward because there's a lot of innovative solutions that both you, Camila, and Rodney put forth for our

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:24:56
community. But anyone who's interested in learning more about you or following or getting more on these events that are coming up, would you guys like to share some social media information if you have any or just... Sure, you can find Camila by Waters if you're interested. You may find me at my website, camilla4nevadans.com. You may also find me, I'm on TikTok.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:25:19
Oh my goodness, I love a good TikTok. If you want to come on TikTok and see me out there doing what I do, you may join and look for me at Camilla by Waters3. And also on Tuesdays, you can find me on Facebook Live, talking about education.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:25:35
So if you're invited to join myself and Rodney and Tracy Lewis, we have great conversations about education. That's on Facebook Live. So Rodney, we know we can find you on Facebook Live with Camila Ballwaters. Where else can we find you?

Rodney Smith
0:25:49
You can also find me at Our Own Voices on Facebook and, of course, Rodney Smith on Threads because I am popping on Threads. Uh-oh. Rodney is popping.

Rodney Smith
0:26:01
I like that.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:26:02
That's what's up. So, folks, that's how you can find either one of these individuals and get connected with them and just see what's going on. If you're looking for a way, people sometimes call me and say, I want to get involved with the community. What can I do?

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:26:15
And there are so many outlets and resources to tap into the community and find your niche for giving back. If cultural awareness is one of them centered around the history that African Americans have contributed to this community, I think teaming up with the folks I have here on the show this morning, Camila by waters and Rodney Smith, is a great way to do it. If you want to see how they do what they do and get down, planning to come out to the candlelight vigil on January 19th, 4 p.m. at the MLK statue at the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Kerry Avenue.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:26:50
89032 is really the zip code area. But again, what's the address on the Clark County Resource Center where the statue is located and the vigil will be? The address is 1344 West Kerry Avenue, North Las Vegas, Nevada, 89030. So there you have it. It's just a great way to engage yourself with the community if you're looking for a way to give back and I know some folks are often looking for that That that niche so I want to thank you both for coming on the show

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:27:22
We have a little bit more time to talk about a couple of things. We're going to run into but I think I want to ask you Since we're talking about dr. King leave the audience with each of you sharing your fondest memory of dr King's legacy or what touches you whether it's a quote or whatever. So Camila, as a woman, I'm going to have you go first, ladies first, and then Rodney, we'll close out with yours.

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:27:46
Thank you. I found a quote and it says, make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in. And this was spoken at the March for Integrated Schools

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:28:04
on April 18th, 1959. And what resonates with me is to make a career of humanity.

Rodney Smith
0:28:10
So for me, the quote is the fierce urgency of now. And that urgency is no fiercer now than it has ever been before. And we need to all act accordingly, I believe. But Dr. King also started something that touched me in my youth, and yes, I was alive when he was alive,

Rodney Smith
0:28:35
and that was the Poor People's Campaign. And the Poor People's Campaign touched me because he was talking about a group of people who rarely got talked about, and if it was, it was somewhat used as a pejorative. And he talked about them as if not that, you know, the tides lift all boats, but

Rodney Smith
0:28:55
this is the people that really hold up this country. And these are the people who are often seen as the least of these that provide for the most of us. And so that poor people's campaign that he didn't get a chance to finish, but there are still poor people and they still need help. They still need attention. And after all, when it's all said and done without them there could be no wealth from the wealthiest people because that's where

Tanya Flanagan/Kamilah Bywaters
0:29:20
they get it from. Absolutely. Folks with that we're out of time. Have a great week. I want to thank you for tuning in to The Scoop with me Tanya Flanagan and I want to invite you to get social with me. I'm on Facebook and Twitter.
