Tune in to The Little Flower Literacy and Economics Radio Show, hosted by Dr. Florita Bell Griffin and Leon Gatewood.  The radio show airs each Thursday Morning from 10:30-11:00 AM (CDT).  The show addresses the connection between illiteracy, economics and communities.

Our guest will be three highly successful young men, representing various professions, who were young boys in the film Color Purple.  The show is focused on how being a part of the Color Purple cast impacted their lives and/or inspired their career paths, and their thoughts on ways that we can inspire and guide our youth into the freedom of literacy.

Marqui Willoughby is an Appellate Attorney for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington, DC; Daniel Gatewood is a County Government Supervisor and Musician in Wadesboro, NC; and Maurice Moore is an Actor, Director and Producer in Hollywood, CA. 

Dr. Griffin, a Houston, Texas author, creative director, urban planner and urban and regional scientist, is concerned with analytical approaches to problems that are specifically urban, rural and regional in nature.  Functional illiteracy in youth, and its link to the economic stability of communities is an urban, rural and regional problem that deeply concerns her.
