Martin Luther King ((U.S. Dept of State))
Leonard is a DJ for the show’s first hour; he plays his favorite gospel music to celebrate Martin Luther King day. Then a discussion with writer Jonathan Tilove and photographer Michael Falco. They’ve recently put out a book documenting some of the many streets in America that have been re-named after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King since his assassination. Nancy Nelson, Cary Grant’s former publicist, reminisces about her time with the actor. And pop-up book expert Robert Sabuda talks about his latest masterpiece, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation.
