Radio Smart Talk for Monday, January 16:

Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  For many across the country, it will be day of service -- performing duties to help neighbors or those who are less fortunate or to improve the community.   

High school civics classes will study Dr. King's life, legacy and contributions to changing a nation.  The students may write essays about what they've learned and why its relevent today.

What we don't hear as often on MLK Day are the stories from the people who knew Dr. King or who were inspired by him.  Part of the reason is that many of those people are getting older or are no longer around.

On Monday's Radio Smart Talk, we'll be joined by local two men who met Dr. King and became civil rights leaders themselves.  We'll discuss their time with Dr. King, what they've witnessed over the past 40 years, and how progress has been made and still must be made in the area of equality for everyone.

Our guests will be Homer Floyd, retired executive director of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and Melvin T. Johnson, president and CEO of the M.T. Johnson Group and former Chairman of the Fair Housing Council of the Capital Region.
