We're celebrating the 35th Anniversary of The Color Purple film with actress and singer Maria Howell. You may remember her as the young choir soloist performing "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD5uPZzBr5c">God's Tryin To Tell You Somethin." Howell takes us back in time and reveals how she got the role and the real-life bond she developed with her co-star Margaret Avery. This is a must for fans of the classic Alice Walker story.
Rick from the 90s R&B band Mint Condition is here to chat about his new solo project and how he has taken his "artivism" to the streets of Minneapolis. The Grammy-nominated performer has a new song titled "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAYtwkZYZt0">Prey" which addresses police brutality, racial injustice and other social ills plaguing the African American community. He also opens up about working with Prince, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and much more.
