WYSO Weekend: January 20th, 2013

On today's program we speak with Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate and Director of African American Outreach with Priests for Life and Founder of King for America.  She talks with us about her uncle - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We'll hear a segment from King's 1965 commencement address at Antioch College.

Chase Jones, a student and graduate assistant in the office of multi-cultural affairs on the University of Dayton Campus, tells us about other MLK events in the Miami Valley

We've also got Poor Will's Almanack and Politics Ohio with Emily McCord
