Published: Feb. 29, 2016, 12:50 a.m.

We’re telling stories of diversity, and achievement in spite of an unbalanced playing field. We are in midst of momentous social and cultural movements, with Minnesota rising to be an important stage for these changes taking place. It’s widely known and scrutinized that Minnesota isn’t the most diverse state in the US, nor is it the most equipped to benefit people of color. Though as we hear on this week’s show, there is hope and progress for equal treatment and opportunities to prosper. David Lein profiles a political candidate unlike anyone else and Max Fuller explores the lack of diversity in Hollywood. Also we hear the Word on the Street with Patrick Sharkey and the Radio K Weekly Release Spotlight.
