Michelle McKissack and Amber Huett-Garcia, K. Durell Cowan, and Mauricio Calvo

Real Talk Memphis with Chip Washington

Episode Notes

My guests include MSCS Board members Michelle McKissack and Amber Huett-Garcia in an exclusive interview to discuss the termination of Dr. Marie Feagins. They were the two members who fought against this move saying it was an overreaction and that other options should have been considered. K Durell Cowan is the executive director, founder of Heal 901 and an advocate for our young people. He was a vocal community member at the school board meetings and expressed his displeasure as did many in the audience who were seemingly ignored in the process. He tells me why this was such a bad idea. Next, President Trump is fulfilling his promise to deport illegal immigrants. Mauricio Calvo, executive director of Latino Memphis joins me to talk about the fear many have about the uncertainty of their status and future. That and more on air and online Monday, 6 pm on WYXR 91.7 FM. Also, WYXR.org, TuneIn, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. it's time to talk!
