The year was 1967 and Martin Luther King, civil rights leader, Baptist preacher and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, agreed to deliver the prestigious Massey lectures on CBC Radio. His title, was "Conscience for Change." Although these lectures were recorded more than forty years ago, King’s words have lost none of their relevance as we still try to come to terms with many of the same issues.

On behalf of producer Lisa Godley and audio engineer Perry Smith, I'm Barbara Hamm Lee.  We wish you and yours the very best this holiday season.  We will not be with you on Friday, December 23 as we are off enjoying some vacation time.  Instead, please tune in for "Conscience of Change" - Friday at Noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM. 

Happy Holidays!
