EL PASO PRIME TIME: Stamp Out Hunger; How I Shed My Skin

Dennis talks with letter carrier Albert Anchondo, Martin Alemán, and Eric Miranda about the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive taking place Saturday, May 9.  Letter carriers across the nation will be collecting nonperishable food donations to feed the hungry.  More details at http://https://www.facebook.com/StampOutHunger, and http://www.nalc.org/community-service/food-drive

Dennis also talks with Jim Grimsley, author of “How I Shed My Skin: Unlearning Racist Lessons of a Southern Childhood.”  Jim was 11 when his school was desegregated in 1966, and he shares how this experience eventually changed his views on race.  However, Jim also reflects on today’s racially-charged atmosphere, and says that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
