Episode Notes

My guests include County Commissioner Mick Wright. He was one of many who disagreed with the MSCS school board in terminating Dr. Marie Feagins. He and a number of his fellow colleagues backed a resolution of no confidence in the board prior to the vote and now the stage is set for a state takeover. I ask him whether he is for or against the move. Next, the President has made it his mission to remove undocumented immigrants from this country for criminal behavior, but does it stop there? Andrew Rankin, ESQ is a local Immigration Atty who is working with many in the Mid South who are very concerned about their future and what might happen to themselves and their families. He explains the options. Lastly, are you familiar with the expression Mane Up? I speak with Racheal Shantal, Executive director of Mane UP Memphis. It’s a non-profit organization that helps empower youth and families through mental health services and financial literacy programs. She tells me why programs like this are so vitally important for the future of our community. That and more on air and online Monday nite, 6 pm on 91.7 WYXR.
