Meet the KRCL DJ -- Keith McDonald of Friday Night Fall Out. Good film makes better humans -- clips from a post-film discussion of Nationtime. Fasting for immigration reform. SLC Transportation wants to hire you for Community Advisory Committee by Friday July 9th! 

Meet the DJ: Keith McDonald, co-host of Friday Night Fall Out, Utah's longest-running hip-hop show Friday nights at 10:30 on KRCL. In addition to being a dad, military veteran and DJ, Keith is also in a Master's writing program at the University of Utah. He coordinates a back-to-school drive for the Boys & Girls Club and just last weekend, he spent time building tiny libraries with YouthWorks. To support his many community projects or send him some music for FNFO, drop him a line, krclkeith@krcl.org. 

Good film makes better humans: Russell Roots, community outreach manager for the Utah Film Center, sent us the post-film panel discussion he led after a Juneteenth screening of Nationtime. It was a report on the National Black Political Convention held in Gary, Indiana, in 1972. Panelists included: 

  • Representative Sandra Hollins
  • SLC Racial Equity in Policing Commissioner Darlene McDonald
  • Former Utah GOP Chairman James Evans
  • Ogden NAACP's Betty Sawyer
  • Utah Multicultural Commission Co-Chair Byron Russell
