The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 21, 2019

Coming up on today's show:

  • New York Magazine's Gabriel Debenedetti talks about the latest in national political news.
  • Blair DuQuesnay, an investment adviser for Ritholtz Wealth Management and author of the personal finance blog The Belle Curve, talks about the under-representation of women in the finance industry, how women have been historically excluded from the field, and makes a call for change.
  • In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, The Brian Lehrer Show remembers his legacy with clips from an Apollo Theater event — moderated by Brian and All Things Considered's Jami Floyd — in which they discuss civil rights progress with scholars, community leaders, and activists, accompanied by musical performances.
