Karith on Howard Stern
The passing of Don Imus last month has left many who worked alongside the radio host with mixed emotions following his death. For Karith Foster, who called into the Stern Show on Tuesday, her time on “Imus in the Morning” was brief but not without incident. She was hired soon after Imus made on-air, racially disparaging comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team in 2007. As a black woman herself, Karith was brought on in an effort to diversify Imus’s show.

Students will remember her voice and vision because she did not preach at them, or insult their intelligence. She appealed to their reason and reached them at their level. I highly recommend Stereotyped 101 to any campus interested in opening up students, faculty, and staff to dialoguing about difference.” -CSU Bakersfield, Crystal Becks, Coordinator for Campus Diversity Programming and Director of Student Housing |
