NPR’s Michel Martin will moderate a town hall meeting at Wellspring Church in Ferguson, Missouri, on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. St. Louis Public Radio reports that the event is open to the public and there’s no cost to attend. Martin, who was previously the host of “Tell Me More,” appeared on St. Louis Public Radio’s “St. Louis on the Air” on Tuesday.
“Talking is the one thing we can all do,” she said.
I think one of the things that we hope to do in our field … is show people that you can have these conversations, important ones, difficult ones, painful ones, but you can have them and have them in a way that are constructive. That’s gonna be our task going forward. That’s gonna be our task every day.
Also part of the conversation on Thursday will be Ferguson’s mayor and The Rev. Willis Johnson, pastor of Wellspring Church, who was featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered” on Aug. 14.
