Hope Shorts Series—Stretching The Limits

Michael and Carrie Kline, Talking Across the Lines

To rockin' tunes and blues numbers, Nathan Shelton and Brenda Jackson, alumni of Mount Hope High School in Fayette County, West Virginia, each tell of their own devastating collision with racism in their school years during the 1960s. They, along with Elinor Agee, discuss the ways in which interracial families have always been part of the fabric of West Virginia life and have become perhaps more so in recent times. Tune in for music, humor, pathos and ample resilience.
