Show Notes

With Martin Luther King Jr. Day right around the corner, Madison has a host of events lined up to commemorate the civil rights activist, including a special keynote address from one of the Little Rock Nine — Terrence Roberts. Roberts helped integrate public schools in the U.S. by volunteering to be one of the first Black high school students to attend an all-white school in 1957, following the U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation. Host Bianca Martin speaks with Ed Lee and Dr. Gloria Hawkins, co-chairs of the King Coalition, about the organization’s event on Monday and the legacies of Dr. King and Roberts.
