Celebrating African American Heritage Month with a very extra special set of programming -- Harry Belafonte's "Anthology of Black Music: The Long Road To Freedom". Today begins a special focus on this opus work; we'll spend the next five shows surveying this extraordinary collection.

The Roots begins the survey with work songs, ceremonial songs, children's songs and the introduction of Christianity. Shouts and Early Spirituals is the second part of this first section.

We have two featured guests today. First up is Nancy Franklin from the Stony Brook University Cat Network. In her spare time she also is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive and Experimental Psychology here at SBU. A Stanford grad, Nancy also does research in False memory, source monitoring,memory representation of described situations. While Nancy will be cajoled here today to come back and explain all that, we are keeping today’s discussion to a campus-wide initiative on a growing concern for cats turned loose on campus and responsible pet ownership.

Also today we will feature the upcoming Athena Film Festival, a celebration of Women and Leadership in New York City February 9-12 in Morningside Heights at Barnard College of CUNY. We will speak with Festival Co-Founder Kathryn Kolbert. Kathryn is more than just the co-founder of the Athena Film Festival and director of the Athena Center for Leadership Studies at Barnard. In 1992, Kolbert argued the landmark case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey before the U.S. Supreme Court.
