We will air our calendar at the middle of the hour, followed by a talk with host Bev Livingston, Founder of Mothers of Incarcerated Sons and Daughters (MISD)KC and Evaline Taylor, volunteer with MISDKC who is part of the Art Show team.  MISD was created to bring advocacy and support to families who are struggling with their loved ones convicted, both justly and unjustly.  MISD does not want them to be forgotten about and so MISD is having an Art Show in 2021 to feature the art rendered by incarcerated artists.
