Long Time Poet and Activist to Be Featured

For a long time, Tim Jackson has been a friend of mine and one of this area's top poets.  I am very pleased that we are able to get him as  a guest on this weeks Podcast.   Da Poet Tim Jackson stands before an assembly hungry for his words.  Tim has done work in Radio and he is definitely a poet who is not afraid to speak his mind  through is poetry...In many ways, his style reminds me of that of Gil Scott Heron.  Jackson is known for his hard-hitting message of life as a black man who's been hindered by racism and personal struggles.  He has explored his own development as a father and a brother in society through his poems, and he is not afraid to look at various issues through his words..  In addition to Tim Jackson, it was also great having Long Time Hip Hop Artist, Educator, and former Mayoral Candidate Pierce Freelon on the show as well.  He is definitely a leading advocate for the Arts here in Durham, and for helping our youth.   And, our other guest was Jeffrey Ulysses who is teaching kids about understanding Finances.
