January 1, 2013 – Segment 1

We begin our show with a look at the controversial new biopic “Nina,” about the High Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone. The film has been criticized in part because of the selection of actress Zoe Saldana to play the title role.

Our guests will be: Akiba Solomon, Editor for Colorlines; and Roz Cauthen, local playwright and Education Coordinator for CenterStage.
