2016 officially was named The Worst Year Ever. Then came 2017. And 2018 and, finally, last year. That was the worst. Or so we thought until this year. It's become more than a meme that the world is getting worse, going to hell in a handbasket. And yet, year by year statistics show life is improving for most people around the world. More of us live better than ever before - even if few of us believe the good news. The disconnect between the spreading sunlight of progress and most people's growing gloom is creating a toxic political environment and undermines democratic norms, paving the way for autocracy and plutocracy. In its tenth forum, Common Ground will explore the schism between the way we are and how we think of the world. Guest: Steven Pinker.

Narrated by Motown recording artist Martha Reeves of Martha and The Vandellas, DANCE PARTY: THE TEENARAMA STORY examines television's teen-dance phenomenon of the 1950s and '60s. During the time, African-American teens often were excluded or given "separate but unequal" treatment by shows like American Bandstand. That all changed in 1963 when a small television station in Washington, D.C. launched a dance program geared specifically to black teenagers. Often called the precursor of "Soul Train," Teenarama Dance Party ran six days a week for seven years, and became the longest-running teen dance shows of the 1960s. DANCE PARTY captures the Teenarama era through archival footage, photography, period re-enactments and interviews with series regulars and performers including James Brown.
