Cobb Jr., a former organizer and field secretary for SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee). Cobb recently wrote “On The Road To Freedom.” From Powell’s books:
“This in-depth look at the civil rights movement goes to the places where pioneers of the movement marched, sat-in at lunch counters, gathered in churches; where they spoke, taught, and organized; where they were arrested, where they lost their lives, and where they triumphed.
”11:30 a.m. - We speak to Cornelia Read, the acclaimed author of A Field of Darkness.
[Ms. Read] has written another compelling novel, The Crazy School, featuring the acerbic and memorable voice of ex-debutante Madeline Dare.

After her husband's job offer falls through, Maddie signs on as a teacher at the Santangelo Academy, a boarding school for disturbed teenagers.”
11:50 a.m. - Felicia Sullivan discusses her memoir “The Sky Isn'’t Visible From Here.” Kirkus reviews says; “Sullivan’s bracing, pared-to-the-bone prose evokes compassion by being impressively free of the narcissistic self-worship that so often infects books of this stripe.” 12 noon - In studio guest Elliott Meyer discusses his recent publishing project. It is called “Thespist: The 2008 Actor’s Ultimate Resource Guide.” This pocket-sized planning tool, includes discounts to a variety of resources for the New York actor. 1:00 p.m. - Rebroadcast of a program recorded at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs: The New American Story with Bill Bradley
