Craig Hockenberry at Mayville State ~ Amy Goodman Returns to ND ~ Dr. David Pearce at TEDx Fargo

Craig Hockenberry joins us to discuss his efforts to transform a school in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Cincinnati into a community learning center, providing services for the entire neighborhood. The film “Oyler” documents his story. Craig and the film are part of an upcoming event at Mayville State University. Also joining the conversation is Dina Zavala-Petherbridge, director of diversity and inclusion at Mayville State. ~~~ Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, an independent daily radio news show. She returned to North Dakota to face charges stemming from the protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline, but the charges were dropped. This morning she spoke with John Hockenberry of The Takeaway, a show that airs on Prairie Public Stations in Grand Forks and Williston. ~~~ Dr. David Pearce heads a leading research lab, and today we share his remarks about genetics and disease research from his appearance at the TEDx Fargo event that took place this summer.
