Then in our second hour, the Town of Pittsford is commemorating the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. As part of a series of events this month, organizers are offering a community discussion on anti-racism. It will be led by the team that has been providing anti-racism training and education for Monroe County schools. They tell us how it works and how they think the community is doing. Our guests:
