How to Be a Man<\/em><\/h1>\n

By Lorna Oppedisano | Photography by Alice G. Patterson<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It was just another normal night. George Kilpatrick was driving down 481, when suddenly, an idea struck him. He\u2019s been in media for decades \u2014 radio and television \u2014 but that night, he had an inspiration for a new show. It was given to him, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received a message from God, I believe,\u201d George said, \u201cthat there was a need for a conversation around uplifting positive contributions, particularly for the African-American community, in a climate where that information wasn\u2019t readily available.\u201d<\/p>\n

A transplant to Syracuse, George has been initiating conversation and creating platforms for healthy dialogue from his first years in town as a student at Syracuse University to his current position as radio host and Men\u2019s Outreach program coordinator at Vera House.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in lifting every voice and making sure that under-represented voices are heard,\u201d George explained. \u201cAnd so that\u2019s the way I\u2019ve operated in the work that I do and the life that I\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeting the community<\/h4>\n

Thinking back to his first semester at Syracuse University, George remembers a recordsetting snowfall, with a hearty laugh. Despite the brutal welcome to Syracuse\u2019s seasons, he found a great community, and decided to stay.<\/p>\n

Originally from New York City, George had expectations about the small Central New York city, he admitted. Raised by socially-conscious parents \u2014 his mother, \u201cthe No. 1 humanitarian,\u201d and his father, \u201ca straight-up activist,\u201d he said \u2014 George expected Syracuse to be less progressive than he was used to.<\/p>\n

But as George ventured off campus senior year for a research class, he got to know Syracuse better.<\/p>\n

It was the early \u201980s. The aim of the class was to work with the Urban League to report quality of life stories. With the opportunity to sit with people and learn their experiences and stories, George found a sense of community, with the AfricanAmerican community in particular, that connected him with his new home in a way he hadn\u2019t expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it was also a way for me to understand that we all have the same dreams, goals and aspirations, depending upon the opportunities that we\u2019re exposed to,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n

After he completed undergraduate studies, George worked in the banking industry for a while, and then eventually got a job at city hall as the director of minority affairs, a program aimed at providing opportunities for women- and minority-owned businesses in the community.<\/p>\n

Seeing the good things government could do for its people, George wanted to build on his experience and learn more. Fourteen years after his first time at Syracuse University, he returned, this time to Maxwell School of Public Administration to earn a master\u2019s degree in public administration.<\/p>\n

Although his original aspirations included returning to government work, George was offered an opportunity in marketing. Having always been good with people and interested in business, he took it.<\/p>\n

Then, after about four years, he turned his full-time attention to his passion: media.<\/p>\n

The pull of media<\/h4>\n

\u201cBeing able to be a voice. Telling a story. Making sure that I talk about the issues that I\u2019m concerned about. And being a progressive voice in a conservative-dominated industry, still to this day. I just wanted to be able to break stereotypes,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n

This is what attracted him to media. George\u2019s first venture into the industry was in undergraduate studies at Syracuse University with work on public affairs radio shows.<\/p>\n

Over the years, he dabbled in TV and radio, including a show centered around conversation with the mayor during his time in city hall, and a dance show called Syracuse Soul.<\/p>\n

He started his full-time career in media at WCNY, where he used his voice and position to bring issues and concerns to the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd luckily, gratefully, through the time I was there, there was no issue, no story that I couldn\u2019t tell, that we couldn\u2019t bring to the air,\u201d George said with a smile.<\/p>\n

George was part of a number of different shows with WCNY, including Hour CNY, Access with George Kilpatrick, and a handful of special programming centered around public issues, including an AIDS documentary.<\/p>\n

Returning to his radio roots, George produced and hosted a number of radio programs as well, including 20 years of The George Kilpatrick Show, and his most current show, New Inspiration for the Nation.<\/p>\n

Getting inspired<\/h4>\n

With his years in media, George has earned a reputation of having a progressive voice \u2014 a title he welcomes with a proud smile.<\/p>\n

And with that experience and position comes pushback. It comes with the territory, George explained with a chuckle.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thing is this: what I promoted on my show was respectful disagreement and dialogue,\u201d George said. Sure, people won\u2019t agree on everything. They\u2019ll get angry. But at the end of the day, we\u2019re all just passionate about the issues, he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m concerned about today is that we\u2019ve lost the ability to disagree and be able to work through that disagreement,\u201d he said, stressing the importance of coming from a place of sincerity, truthfulness and respect.<\/p>\n

While George has received a fair number of angry calls and letters \u2014 some of them anonymous \u2014 he\u2019s also been approached by people who\u2019ve remarked his words have made them think about situations and issues from a slightly different perspective.<\/p>\n

With his most recent show, George hopes to promote a dialogue he thinks has always been an undercurrent of conversation, but not as overt as it should be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to show, especially [to the AfricanAmerican] community, that the success that they\u00a0were looking for wasn\u2019t new,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t an apparition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of his guests are local, and some aren\u2019t, George said. His aim is to bring new voices and information to people, to give them access to \u201csomething really big.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing up, George\u2019s parents instilled in him ideas of success and greatness. But he knows not all people are lucky enough to have that influence in their lives. There\u2019s a community of people here whose success isn\u2019t always broadcast, he explained. He wants to show them this success of the African-American community is nothing new, as his parents taught him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my obligation to make sure that I\u2019m a conduit,\u201d he said, \u201cto make sure that I\u2019m representing that voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reach of New Inspiration for the Nation has expanded beyond Syracuse. Now syndicated throughout the country, George\u2019s voice reverberates into other states and communities.<\/p>\n

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, one of the show\u2019s broadcast locations, George was talking to his friends, when all of the sudden, a stranger walked up to him and said, \u201cI thought I heard you and recognized you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018This is good! This is good,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a political climate that tends to polarize people, George often asks the question, \u201cWhat now?\u201d to his guests. Their answers align with George\u2019s mission of creating a space for dialogue and bettering the community.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean you stop fighting and helping those who might not have a voice, he said. It means you fight for everyone\u2019s access to vote, and place at the conversational table, all while continuing to care for your community and family, he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think that\u2019s what our message has always been,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve still got to do our work. It doesn\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Becoming an ally<\/h4>\n

Back in his days at WCNY, George created a lifelong ally: Vera House.<\/p>\n

His goal of shining a spotlight on under-represented voices included sparking conversation about domestic violence and sexual assault.<\/p>\n

The two organizations partnered to produce a couple of halfhour specials about domestic violence. In response, George received an email he\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

George remembered reading that day: \u201cThank you for that. I did not realize that I was in an abusive relationship, or at least I tried to convince myself that I wasn\u2019t in an abusive relationship, and then you showed me the signs. And I am with someone who is very prominent in the community, and here I am, wearing the mask, walking around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another powerful segment George helped produce at WCNY included conversations with the perpetrators themselves. It served as a vehicle to educate others, in showing how the problems could begin and escalate, he explained.<\/p>\n

In 2009, his role with Vera House grew when he was asked to be an honorary co-chair of the White Ribbon Campaign, a monthlong effort to raise awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault.<\/p>\n

Then, in 2012, the position of program coordinator for the Men\u2019s Outreach program opened up, and Vera House asked George if he would consider taking it. Already familiar with the organization, not to mention being a lifelong advocate of highlighting important social issues, George was a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

Through a Department of Justice grant \u2014 the third of its kind granted to Vera House, this time for a three-year period \u2014 George leads a variety of workshops and training for men and boys, to help them understand the role they can play in ending domestic violence and sexual assault. The theme interwoven into most of George\u2019s work \u2014 dialogue \u2014 plays an important role in his mission with the Men\u2019s Outreach program.<\/p>\n

The challenge of the job barely ever lies in the discussions themselves, George explained; it\u2019s getting men into the room that\u2019s most difficult.<\/p>\n

Most men aren\u2019t assailants. So when they hear a conversation about domestic violence and sexual assault, they assume, \u201cWell, that has nothing to do with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what we\u2019re asking men to do is \u2026 take a leadership position. Because while maybe you\u2019re not a perpetrator \u2014 we know most men aren\u2019t,\u201d George said, \u201cwhat about your mom? What about your sister? What about your partner? What about any woman who\u2019s in your life who could be potentially a victim?\u201d<\/p>\n

Through a variety of programs, ranging from mentorship in schools to partnerships with area organizations, the Men\u2019s Outreach program looks at topics like masculinity, consent and respect.<\/p>\n

Once they get men or boys into the room, the walls come down, and the participants often feel vulnerable enough to open up and speak freely in honest dialogue, George said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they\u2019re free to be challenged around some of their own behaviors and some of their own actions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

What it means to be a man<\/h4>\n

In a society that\u2019s historically patriarchal, the Vera House Men\u2019s Outreach program conversations are important. Most organizations are open to helping facilitate these conversations, but there are still barriers, George said. Some of the resistance to the work might be due to people\u2019s fear of letting go of that patriarchy, he hypothesized.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with the \u201ctough guy,\u201d \u201cJohn Wayne\u201d version of masculinity, he explained, as long as you\u2019re not using it as a weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re saying is that\u2019s OK as long as you\u2019re not making me have to be that, too,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re saying that there\u2019s different degrees of what a man looks like, and that I shouldn\u2019t have to conform to one notion of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

George stressed that these conversations are important for any man in any situation.<\/p>\n

In raising their four children, George and his wife made sure to stay conscious of room for discussion. The best example is how they interact, George said with a fond smile covering his face.<\/p>\n

Looking to the future, George is excited about the potential the Men\u2019s Outreach program has in the community. And \u2014 ever that progressive voice \u2014 he challenged any men reading this who might think Syracuse Woman Magazine has nothing to do with them to think again.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause if you care about the women and girls in your life, then we\u2019re challenging you to step up and be a leader in their lives and in your life, with the people that you run with,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause that\u2019s where you can have the most impact. Start where you are.\u201d SWM <\/em><\/p>\n
