Each Friday, Barbara Hamm Lee brings you Another View on 89.5, with topics important to all of us, seen from an African American perspective. During Black History month this February, you’ll hear the topic of fatherhood discussed as Barbara is joined by experts Leslie Gordon and William Middlebrooks on February 7, and the inimitable Round Table discussion on February 14. On February 21, we are pleased to welcome the great classical and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, along with Tim Watts and Cassandra Newby-Alexander to the show as Barbara hosts a discussion on the influence African-Americans have had on American music, and Dr. Keith Newby joins Barbara for a discussion on health, February 28.
