First Day of School: Little Rock Nine Preview

First Day of School: Little Rock Nine Preview

Author: King Kurus, Griot of Black & African History February 19, 2020 Duration: 8:15

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.
