Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Tribute
For Martin Luther King Day, it’s our annual one-minute readings about any ethnic group other than your own. Pay tribute to Dr. King with a selection of a poem, a novel, a history book, a memoir, a website, a magazine--anything at all – as long as it would take one minute to read it on the air. Plus, an in-depth look at Barack Obama’s record in the Senate and highlights from Embracing the Radical Martin Luther King, Jr.: Prophetic or Passé?.
Watch Brian's Online Video Picks and other WNYC videos.
Are You the One? Obama's Senate Record
David Mendell, Chicago Tribune reporter and the author of Obama: From Promise to Power (Amistad, 2007), and Jonathan Allen, reporter for the Congressional Quarterly's CQPolitics.com, go through the specifics of Barrack Obama's record as a U.S. Senator.
Obama: From Promise to Power is available for purchase at Amazon.com.
