Our series, 'The Hard Part,' continues this week, where Katy Ganaway talks with Huntsville Police Captain Dewayne McCarver, exploring paths to unity and healing, following the lasting mark made at June protests in Huntsville. That conversation was recorded in our studios Oct. 2, 2020; John Carroll, chairman of the Alabama Fair Ballot Commission, delivers an Election Day primer of the ever-convoluted proposed amendments to our state's constitution; October 24-31, the Huntsville Science Festival goes virtual in its inaugural year... Joe Iacuzzo stops by to tell us about engaging virtual workshops, and free, interactive sciences and art kits; And John Kvatch with the Singing River Trail stops by to talk about the new 70-mile greenway, connecting Huntsville and other nearby Tennessee Valley cities. 
 
*Correction: Capt. DeWayne McCarver has served with H.P.D. for 26 years, not 22 as we initially reported.
