Civil Rights and Wrongs for March 9, 2021

Michelle Manning-Scott hosts the program as we recognize Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.  Our guests are Martha Pincoffs and Muna Hussaini, two of the three hosts of the Three Righteous Mamas podcast.  The podcast explores topical issues with change makers and societal leaders of our day, while exploring the ways in which motherhood is pivotal to shaping each of us and the world we live in.  Both regular host Bob Dailey and Michelle Boyd, KOOP board member and programmer apprentice, join the conversation. Then Austin Sanders, Staff Writer for the Austin Chronicle, provides an update from the March 4 meeting of the Austin City Council, which issued an apology for disenfranchising Black residents.  Council also directed staff to establish a Black Embassy in East Austin to serve as a resource for the community.
