Also this hour: We learn about Blackball, an exhibit exploring baseball in Houston Freedmen’s Town, from teams that barnstormed in sandlots, to players and teams in the Negro Leagues, to the eventual integration of Major League Baseball. And we learn about some of the notable Black baseball players from Houston’s history from the president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
Then, from the rollout of school vouchers, to districts voting on prayer in school, to plans to close some HISD campuses, there is a lot going on these days in K-12 education. We bring together a panel of education reporters to discuss those and other subjects in the news.
And we recap the Winter Olympics with Houston Chronicle sports editor Reid Laymance.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
