First hour: Discussing issues faced by local children and families
Second hour: The new play, "Thurgood," at Geva Theatre, and the legacy of Thurgood Marshall
What are the most important issues facing children and families in our community? A local nonprofit -- The Children's Agenda -- has a list of legislative priorities for candidates this election season. They join us to discuss K-12 funding, special education, child care, and more. It's a preview to an upcoming forum hosted by the League of Women Voters. In studio:
- Brigit Hurley, director of advocacy for The Children's Agenda
- Eamonn Scanlon, education policy analyst for The Children's Agenda
- Mary Hussong-Kallen, communications director for the League of Women Voters of the Rochester Metropolitan Area
Then in our second hour, a remarkable performance at Geva Theatre explores the life and career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. We'll talk with the team behind the show about Marshall's legacy and his impact on civil rights in America. Our guests:
- Lester Purry, actor who plays Thurgood Marshall
- Lou Bellamy, director of "Thurgood"
- Jenni Werner, literary manager and resident dramaturg at Geva Theatre Center
