Good evening, it's Monday, February 1st. This is the Jive at Five, our daily community calendar and rundown of night time programming, here on 88.1 FM WESU Middletown. By day, WESU offers a diverse program of NPR, Pacifica, independent and local public affairs. Each night and weekend WESU offers the best in free-form community programming. Thanks for joining us!
I'm Maria Johnson, producer and host of Reasonably Catholic: Keeping the Faith, which airs every first, third and fifth Tuesday, from 4 to rig ht before the Jive at Five. Tomorrow, a chat with Art Miller, the only African-American Catholic deacon in Connecticut, who used to head the Archdiocese of Hartford's Office of Black Catholic Ministries until the archdiocese eliminated the office, along with the Office of Hispanic Ministries, last year, as part of a still unfolding reorganization. Deacon Art -- a schoolmate, by the way, of Emmet Till, whose murder for whistling at a white woman is said to have sparked the civil rights movement -- says his work goes on. In fact, the good deacon got himself arrested and jailed recently for sitting down in a busy Hartford intersection during rush hour. It's just one of the aspects of tomorrow's interview that you won't want to miss. Can't listen live? Find the audio at www.reasonablycatholic.com.
