Cleto Cordero of Flatland Calvary is my new guest. My interview with Martyn Joseph gets replayed so it can air in my regular time slot. Also, it's a nice message of hope for MLK Day. Finally, a set of musicians who were civil rights leaders or wrote songs on the topic including Nina Simone, Harry Belafonte, Mavis Staples, and Pete Seeger. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself discusses the song "We Shall Overcome" to close the show.
