Less than a week after my latest “Sunday Insight with Charlie Sykes” appearance, I was on the Ripon anti-slavery walk (the Little White Schoolhouse, the Abraham Lincoln statue at Ripon College, a cemetery where an ex-slave is buried, etc.) with my oldest son when I got the call from Wisconsin Public Radio. I’ll be on WPR’s Joy Cardin show with Ruth Conniff of The Progressive Friday at 8 a.m.
