As the blackest state in the nation, it is imperative that Mississippians observe Black History Month. This February, we wanted to sit down with some guests that can speak to how contributions from Black people have shaped and improved our state and we have definitely accomplished that this morning. Omo Moses, son of Bob Moses, and Frank Figgers are on the line today. Two men that know a thing or two about Civil Rights and Mississippi, both gentlemen have served in the Young People Project in Jackson, Mississippi.

Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today's Editor-At-Large. He's also host of a "Now You're Talking" on MPB Think Radio and "Conversations" on MPB TV, and is the author of several books. Marshall is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and a 2019 recipient of the University of Tennessee Alumni Professional Achievement Award.
