Today is historical and history making. 

In Great Barrington where one of the pioneers of American Civil Rights movement and black academia was born. Author, sociologist, historian, activist, founder of the NAACP and more, W.E.B. Du Bois is getting a new tribute right in the heart of the town at the Mason Library after years of planning. We’ll speak with Ari Zorn, Dubois Thomas, Julie Michaels, and John Lewis from the team of folx who helped to make it happen with W.E.B. Du Bois Sculpture Committee and the organization Blackshires about the long very community involved process that brought it to life, and how you can celebrate its unveiling this Saturday, July 19th. 

Plus, our weekly chat with Congressman Jim McGovern much more than just the recently approved rescission package that definitely affects us here on this show directly. Indeed, the representative explores the resurgence of interest in the Epstein files, issue related to cryptocurrency, plus listener questions on tariffs, and even the state of the constitution on which we’ve built this very nation.
