City Cast Austin

Description

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. may have only visited Austin once during his lifetime, but he left his imprint all over this city, from MLK Boulevard to the Dr. King statue at the UT campus and beyond. Host Nikki DaVaughn talks to East Austin historian Harrison Eppright about what the city was like in the time of MLK, and his legacy here in town. And a note: Listeners will hear the n-word in this episode, because it is relevant to the conversation. Please take care when listening.
