Rather, Thad felt it was the kind of record that should spread word-of-mouth and hand-to-hand. It has and we’ll find out why whenThad Cockrell joins host Frank Stasio to play some tunes live in our studio.

Frank Stasio at the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women
Students of the course “Novels and Spiritual Journey” are assigned to read works of fiction that challenge their ideas about faith and religion. Then, they are asked to pen parts of their own memoirs rooted in those lessons of spirituality. Some of the students are women from Duke Divinity School. The others live where the course is taught: at the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women. The combination of theologians and inmates in the classroom creates a unique educational atmosphere and a community that reflects the advantages of cultural exchange and sisterhood. Host Frank Stasio goes inside the prison to speak to some of the students and their instructors, including the program director Sarah Jobe, about the search for spirituality in prison.

The Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities in Mebane is a labor of love for husband and wife team Ann Moss Joyner and Allan Parnell. They combine Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Census data and other publicly accessible statistics to generate maps that prove long-term and systematic discrimination through denial of basic services. They've helped in several annexation cases and a landmark access-to-water case. Ann Moss Joyner and Allan Parnell join host Frank Stasio and Mark Dorosin, from the UNC Center for Civil Rights, to explain their technique and their strategy for victory.
