Plug Into Your Community with Tonight's Guests, Organizations & Community Events

A year ago, RadioACTive aired a show that focused on the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Against that backdrop, show guests reflected on Juneteenth, talked about a new Utah law that would ultimately lead to the closure of cultural centers at institutions of higher education, and more. Tonight, we get some fresh commentary, then rebroadcast the bulk of this award-winning show.
