Also this hour: A new book celebrates the stories and legacy of Riverside General, Houston’s former Negro hospital. Journalist Carlton Houston talks about his book, The Houston Negro Hospital, and shares his own family's connection to its story.
Then, our non-experts break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And Sunday is Make Music Day, a free celebration of musical performance around the world. We talk with Houston vocalist Dria Thornton about her music and career.
