First hour: Colgate President Dr. Marvin McMickle on America during the Trump administration
Second hour: La Cumbre's mission to bring more Latino voices to the Rochester conversation, and their upcoming holiday celebration
On November 9th, one of the first published commentaries about the election of Donald Trump was by Marvin McMickle, president of Colgate Divinity School. McMickle offered some comfort for those concerned about the election results: our nation, he wrote, survived some very dark periods, including the Civil War and the Jim Crow era. But McMickle also cautioned that the loyal opposition has a responsibility to hold the next administration accountable, particularly when it comes to equality. He'll join us to elaborate.

La Cumbre is an organization working to help Latinos become more engaged in civics, have a greater voice in local policy, and gain more educational opportunities for children of color.

A little music, a little spoken word, and plenty of discussion about how to achieve more inclusion in western New York. Our guests:
