Race And Justice On MLK Week

Wikimedia

Maybe we're not always talking nicely, but you have to admit, the election and re-election of Barack Obama certainly got us talking about race just a bit more. 

In fact, Southern Oregon University made race its campus theme for the current academic year.  The year's events include the first annual Social Justice Conference this week, focused on racial inequities and community building strategies. 

Marvin Woodard of the SOU Multicultural Resource Center joins us.
