Action Speaks 2000

AS220's popular topical forum series returns this October with a series of panel discussions centered on dates in US history when a constellation of forces converged and from which significant changes emerged. Gloria-Jean Masciarotte has been working with host Marc Joel Levitt on lining up panelists, and they've arranged for this year's series to be broadcast Sunday nights on WRNI-1290/1230 radio - RI's very own NPR News Station. As always, Action Speaks is free of charge, and questions from the audience are welcome.
