Michelle McKissack, Veronica Jamison, and Josh Spickler

Episode Notes My guests include MSCS Board member Michelle McKissack. It has been quite a year from the education perspective and now that another year of school is beginning it’s time to assess and look forward. We talk expectations, County Commission issues, potential state takeover and more. The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis connects the Mid South with nonprofits, individuals and initiatives making an impact and change in our community. Veronica Jamison joins me to talk about Black Philanthropy Month and its support of Black led nonprofits who help to make Memphis strong. Finally, there have been many who are troubled by how the criminal system works in our city and why it seems to be so unequal and even broken. Josh Spickler is the Executive Director of Just City who recently announced a $50,000 community bail fund effort that will help non violent offenders to keep from spending so long behind bars thus giving those an opportunity to reclaim their lives in a clogged and overcrowded system. That and more Monday, 6 pm on WYXR. Also, the wyxr app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. It’s time to talk!
