Has modern discourse lost its civility? Next week a campus forum on diversity titled “Toward Civil Conversation” explores how we talk to each other, especially when dealing with sensitive issues like racism. Indiana University Diversity Committee members Eric Love and Doug Bauder join us to discuss the forum and its core topics. Also in this program: local TV producer Shameka Neely talks about her documentary following inner-city New York youth on a visit to the Bloomington campus last fall. Her documentary airs this week on WTIU and WFIU. Our featured musical artist is the Carolina Chocolate Drops, the hottest thing to hit the old-time music community in decades. While old-time Southern string music is often associated with whites in Appalachia, the Carolina Chocolate Drops remind us that black folk are a significant part of string tradition. As always, Bring It On! features regional and national news and a regional calendar highlighting events relevant to the local African-American community. Hosted by Beverly Calender-Anderson and Cornelius Wright.
