topics on the radio

Today on the Brian Lehrer Show (starting in about half hour, as I write, though it will be available as a podcast after that) their series Thirty Issues in Thirty Days takes on race. The series so far has been serious and informative, and I'd recommend listening.

And, here's the specific segment.

MLK Day

The Brian Lehrer show's annual celebration of MLK Day asks callers for short reading about any ethnic group but their own. Of particular note, there are some wonderful speeches from a Sunday event thrown in, especially one by Brown Universirt professor Tricia Rose, starting at about 4:20 in the recording.
