Join Kosta and his guest: Andrew Smith, Senior Instructor in the Department of English at Tennessee Tech University, Author, Editor, and Publisher of Everything's Folked Music Fanzine and Host of Teacher on the Radio on WTTU 88.5 FM.
In this episode: This episode will air on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we hope it serves as a reminder of the enduring strength of MLK’s message and legacy. You’ve spent many years teaching students and our community about the life and mission of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. If you could pick one lesson for our listeners to reflect on from his work and advocacy, what would it be? Your father marched with MLK in Selma in 1965. What did that mean to you growing up and how did the advocacy of your parents influence the person you are today? Martin Luther King Jr. talked about a revolution of values moving from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. What does that look like for a working-class, conservative leaning community like ours?
