Writer’s Voice with Francesca Rheannon
We re-air our 2015 interview with acclaimed biographer James McGrath Morris about his biography, “Ethel Payne, First Lady Of The Black Press.” Few Americans today have ever heard of Ethel Payne, much less understood the giant role she played in reporting the story — and advancing the agenda — of the civil rights movement in America. Through Payne’s riveting personal story, Morris takes the reader on an inspiring journey through the civil rights movement leading to a greater understanding of issues that continue to resonate strongly today.

First Voices Indigenous Radio with Tiokasin Ghosthorse
Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talks to returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker, the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. A citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe), Tinker explores the self-narrative of euro-christian Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, which typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their occupancy of Indian lands.
