also may have a special guest who I am waiting to see if they are available. The special guest is Rep. Marsha Blackburn. Her office and I are working on finalizing the details and if she is on we will extend the show for another hour so it will be a live interview. This is not finalized but it looks pretty likely.
Topic is Racism.
Prom Night in Mississippi movie aired on HBO and is based in the hometown of Actor Morgan Freeman. First time that the small delta town of Charleston Ms. had a prom that allowed blacks and whites to attend, but as could be expected it was met with some resistence. We will discuss this movie but will also go beyond it to discuss racism in our nation. We here in Arizona have our own racism that is causing problems that are very much like the racism that is shown in the film as well as the racism I saw growing up. As always your calls will be welcomed.

July 5th Show
The listeners voted and by unanimous vote they said to do a live show so we will be live.
The show will be of a special nature where callers are encouraged to call in on the topic of
What America is to Me and what I feel America should be.
What we are hoping for is to be able to get folks to tell what America is in their own lives today and how they hope it will be in the years to come. It has been pointed out for decades that America means different things to different people and not everyone has the same view of what is. Remember the First Lady saying she has never been as proud to be an American as she is now? The black people had to live like they were not part of the nation and yet today many feel they are finally true Americans since Obama won the Presidency. So we want to know what America is to you, but also it would be incomplete if we didn’t ask what you want to see America mean in the future.
The call in line is (602) 275-4130 or toll free at (800) 385-1566. also you can call in on the WQRZ-FM line 228-463-1035
