This post is part of the Memories of a Massacre Project: Memphis in 1866. This project is designed to bring to public attention the massacre that rattled Reconstruction-era Memphis in May 1866.

 

 

Malvin Massey, General Manager of WUMR FM 91.7 and host of Spotlight 92 , taped a radio interview with R3 Founder and Managing Editor Dr. Andre E. Johnson on the Memories of a Massacre: Memphis in 1866 Project. Dr. Johnson talked about the origins of the project and some of the upcoming events. Serving also as the Communication Director of the project, Dr. Johnson also suggested why an understanding of the massacre is so important for Memphis and the nation.

Spotlight 92 airs on WUMR on Thursdays from 11:30am-12:00 noon. This interview will air on Thursday February 11, however for readers of this blog, we share the interview here.
