Black History Buff: Uncovering Untold Stories
HistoryCommentaryCultureDocumentaryEducationNewsSocietySociety & Culture

While creating my soon to be released episode about the Little Rock Nine, I got to thinking about education, school and specifically my first day at school. I started to think about people's first days in general. I decided to ask a few listeners and friends to share their first day experiences, some of which you'll hear in today's episode. 

I hope you enjoy it.
