Episode Notes

My guests include Dr. Kandace Thomas, Executive Director of First 8 Memphis. They are celebrating a big win with a resolution that approves a partnership with Shelby County and the City of Memphis to establish universal, need-based Pre-K. This has been proven to improve grade school and high school education rates. She tells me why this is a true investment in our future that will payoff in a big way. Next, The National Civil Rights Museum is a forever reminder of the struggles of the past and the memory of the loss of the greatest voice for equality we have ever seen. President and CEO Dr. Russell Wigginton joins me to share his future vision for the museum and the fight to keep the dream alive in spite of those who want to erase it. That and more on air and online Monday, 6 pm on WYXR 91.7 FM. Also the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
