Her childhood passion for African and African American art inspires her adult exploration as a national auctioneer.
Belinda Tate always had a heard for numbers but early in her life the colors and textures of African and African American paintings, sculptures and drawings captured her heart. Today she's one of a few licensed African American female auctioneers in the country.
In our health and medicine report, what you eat isn't the only thing that can cause your arteries to harden. Dr. Barry Freedman of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was the principle researcher of a national study that strongly suggests arteriosclerosis is a different disease in blacks and whites—potentially changing how this disease is diagnosed and treated.
Now Dr. Freedman is recruiting for his new study.

Coming up this week on Voices & Viewpoints with Denise Franklin...
One Triad professor is an active citizen of the global community. A lesson he learned early from his father. Dr. Victor Archibong, the dept. chair of political science at Greensboro College, is a citizen of Nigeria and the United States. Every year he travels to his home land where his good will ranges from donating school supplies to helping in the eradication polio.
He also visits a different country every summer so he can, as he says, contribute his skills for the betterment of others less fortunate.
Since talking with Denise...Dr. Archibong has been to Cambodia, Vietnam, and Northern Ireland.
In this week’s Health & Medicine report...millions of Americans suffer from major depression.
Dr. Peter Rosenquist at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center leads a national trial investigating if magnetic energy can reduce the impact of major depression.
