This hour: As Women's History Month draws to a close, we draw attention to a Connecticut native who was integral in the campaign for civil rights -- Judge Constance Baker Motley.
Coming up, we take an in-depth look at Judge Motley's life and talk about her legacy both inside and outside of the courtroom.
Plus: Suzan-Lori Parks’ Father Comes Home From the Wars Parts 1, 2 & 3 opened at Yale Repertory Theatre earlier this month.
We learn more about the production and find out how the Theatre’s ongoing WILL POWER! initiative is exposing students to the arts.
GUESTS:
- Dr. Gary Ford Jr. - Assistant professor of Africana Studies at Lehman College and author of Constance Baker Motley: One Woman's Fight for Civil Rights and Equal Justice Under Law
- Amy Boratko - Literary Manager at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut
