9 a.m. – MPR News with Kerri Miller
This week marks the one year anniversary of women going public with their allegations of sexual assault against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Their stories ignited a movement of women saying #MeToo and sharing their own stories of sexual harassment and assault. MPR News host Kerri Miller and Seena Hodges, a diversity trainer and founder of the Woke Coach LLC, asked women how the movement has evolved, and if they believe that the movement has cut across racial, political, geographic and socioeconomic lines. The event was recorded in the UBS Forum on Thursday, September 27th.
Guests: Seena Hodges, diversity trainer and founder of the Woke Coach LLC; Taiyon Coleman, Assistant Professor, of English at St. Catherine University; Stephanie Williams O’Brien, lead pastor at Mill City Church.

Part two of a new APM series by Neal Conan and historian Heather Cox Richardson, called “The Democracy Test.” Episode 2 is “A House Divided.” In the 1850’s and 1860’s, deep splits drove the country to civil war. The same fault lines exist today, and some argue that our divisions are becoming more extreme. When the “other side” becomes illegitimate, does the room for “democracy” shrink? When politics is the problem, can it also provide the solution?
