Open Source RVA presents:

THE SOURCE IS ON (THE AIR)! On Friday’s hard-hitting edition of Open Source RVA, heard at noon on WRIR 97.3 FM, Don Harrison talks with Dr. Julian Hayter, associate professor of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond’s Jepson School, and the author of “The Dream is Lost: Voting Rights and the Politics of Race in Richmond Virginia.” Among other things, the civil rights historian discusses Governor Glenn Youngkin’s recent proclamation that diversity, equity and inclusion has “gone off the rails,” and gives us some historical perspective on the backlash against Critical Race Theory. AND CALL OFF THE JAMS!! Mother’s Day approaches and we’re joined by Lisa Edmondson aka “Foxy Foe” of River City Roller Derby. She speaks with Dina Weinstein about balancing motherhood and competitive contact skating, and details what it truly takes to be a roller derby queen. IT’S A MOTHER OF AN EPISODE! Get Sourced on Friday at noon on WRIR 97.3 FM and wrir.org
