Newburgh's Kai Wright, Live from the Apollo!

In case you missed it: Click here: https://www.wnyc.org/mlk2023/ to watch Newburgher Kai Wright lead a conversation last night, live from the legendary Apollo Theater, about the history of the racial justice movement in the U.S. and where we go from here. Kai interviews Imani Perry, professor of African American studies at Princeton University, and Chelsea Miller, the fearless young New York City activist who led the marches for justice in NYC after the murder of George Floyd. There are also amazing performances by a Washington, DC-area group singing “Young, Gifted and Black” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and more.

Catch Kai’s brilliant, nationally syndicated call-in show, “Notes from America,” every Sunday at 6 pm at WNYC.org, 93.9 FM or 820 AM.

Newburgh’s own Kai Wright. His nationally-syndicated radio show “notes from america” sometimes broadcasts from his own house here in the heights, in which case: be sure to listen for his neighbor’s dogs barking and the trains going by! Catch him sundays at 6 pm on wnyc.
