Dr. Ken Harris opens the hour with a powerful reflection on the life and legacy of Dr. William Finlayson, framing his passing as the loss of a vital witness to Black Milwaukee’s struggle and progress. The conversation centers on systemic barriers, institution-building, and the harsh reality that many of those institutions have since disappeared—raising urgent questions about how we preserve legacy. The focus then shifts to current policy, as Gov. Tony Evers and Republican leaders reach a bipartisan deal on schools, property tax relief, and direct payments—sparking listener debate on whether the compromise is a step forward. Al weighs in on the ongoing MPS conversation, adding perspective to the education discussion. The hour wraps with audience engagement, tapping into YouTube chat and live talk-to-text reactions.
