Episode Notes
My guests include the newest MSCS board member Mauricio Calvo, who will share his thoughts on why he wanted to be a part of this body and how he will strive for greater accountability and transparency for the board and the district. Next, the election of the next Mayor of the city of Memphis may never have greater consequences. The right to vote was hard fought and the Rev. Dr. Earle Fisher, Sr. Pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and director of Up The Vote 901 will host the People’s Convention. He tells us why this is the most significant election in the last 50 years and why information is power. It has been said that reading is fundamental and Literacy Mid-South is asking for your help. Candace Freeman joins me to share how the organization is looking for more than 100 paid tutors who want to help students with critical reading skills. That and more both on air and online Monday, 6-7 pm live on the next RTM. WYXR 91.7, the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
