This week, we wanted to focus our show around Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. To accomplish this, I sat down with Ms. Toni Thorpe of the African American Cultural Center, to talk about the AACC and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Mark Herring took a trip to the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the North Carolina Musem of Art to look at some of Rockwell’s later works that surrounded racial inequality. Also, Jacob Downey went downtown to discuss racial apathy. We will also have readings from authors published in this year’s Windhover, NC State’s literary magazine. Weather, Sports and later some representatives from The Wolfpack Environmental Student Association will stop by to talk about their club.
