SUMMARY:Radio - NHPR Special Programming: Martin Luther King Jr.
DESCRIPTION:As the nation honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, tune into New Hampshire Public Radio for three specials exploring Dr. King’s remarkable life\, beliefs and legacy. \nSaturday\, January 16 \n10 p.m. – 11 p.m. (Best of Public Radio slot) \nFor the first special\, join NHPR for MLK: Three Landmark Speeches\, from our public media partners at PRX. In 2014\, producer Paul Ingles asked two leading King scholars to pick three of Dr. King’s most important speeches from the 1960s. Listeners will hear from the late Dr. Vincent Harding\, Professor of Religion and Social Transformation at the Illiff School of Theology in Denver\, Colorado. Harding was a personal friend and speechwriting colleague of Dr. King in the 1960s. In addition\, listeners will hear from Dr. Clayborne Carson\, who has been directing the King Papers Project since 1985. \nScholars chose the following speeches: \n\nKing’s last address\, the night before his assassination in 1968;\n the speech he made a year to the day before he was killed\, called “Beyond Vietnam”;\nDr. King’s remarks that he made at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery marches in March of 1965\, considered a turning point in the struggle for Voting Rights and equality for Black Americans.\n\n  \nMonday\, January 18 \n9 a.m. to 10 a.m. \nThe second special\, a live call-in episode of The Exchange\, will air on the MLK Day holiday. and re-air the same evening from 9 to 10 p.m. Host Laura Knoy will talk with Black activists and civil rights historians about recent events and what wisdom and lessons they take from Dr. King’s life and words. Listeners are encouraged to let The Exchange team know how you’re reflecting on MLK day this year either by sending an email to exchange@nhpr.org\, or calling in during the live show at 800-892-6477. \nSpecial guests for this episode will include: \n\nJason Sokol – professor of history at UNH. Jason is the author of three books: There Goes My Everything: White Southerners in the Age of Civil Rights; All Eyes Are Upon Us: Race and Politics from Boston to Brooklyn; and The Heavens Might Crack: The Death and Legacy of Martin Luther King\, Jr.\nJames McKim – Manchester NAACP President.\n\n  \nMonday\, January 18 \n2 to 3 pm. (rebroadcast at 8 to 9 p.m.) \nThe third special\, MLK and the Fierce Urgency of Now! by WNYC\, will unpack the implications of the 2020 US Presidential Election through the prisms of civil rights and modern day social justice movements. The Black community’s historically adversarial relationship with law enforcement and Western medicine institutions are focal points that will be discussed\, made more urgent by the ongoing pandemic. The program will be co-hosted by The Takeaway’s Tanzina Vega\, and WNYC’s Jami Floyd and Brian Lehrer. \nFor details on all of NHPR’s on-air program schedule\, click here.

SUMMARY:Online - The Black Matter is Life: Poetry for Engagement and Overcoming
DESCRIPTION:A Virtual Poetry Reading & Discussion\nLove\, Love\, Love \n\nPoetry is a powerful art form\, one that offers profound insights into what it means to be human. Through the creative\, succinct\, and melodious use of language\, poets render into words their joys\, their challenges\, their vulnerabilities\, and their discoveries\, thus providing shape and meaning to the human connection and shared emotional experience. \nIn the wake of our nation’s current unrest\, this program is designed to build bridges across the racial divide by introducing the audience to the writings of a number of African American poets whose work has shone a light on a rich cultural heritage that has often gone unexplored. This program asks the audience to consider how African American poetry provides tools for healing our nation’s deep racial wounds. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqdu-vqz8oG9MzJH1DYmxo_GMc5qQrRn7c
