Piece Description

After learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. - and about how to be good radio reporters and interviewers -  a class of Chicago-area third graders (and one visiting student from South Korea) wrote down the most important questions they would have asked Dr. King if they could have interviewed him. The resulting audio collage captures the curiosity, empathy, wisdom and innocence of eight and nine-year old children.

Hugely powerful radio. Proving yet again that some of the best voices and the ones worth listening to are usually much younger than the ones that gobble up the air time. Thanks

Hi David, this is so cute, wonderful! We will add it to our websites www.across-the-ocean.org (in the History section) and www.world-childrens-radio.net plus will include it into FM shows over here in Europe. In exchange, let your kids make a wish what we could produce especially for them! Seriously! :)

Hope to speak to you soon - Thomas, transatlantic@radijojo.de
