It's been 59 years since Brown vs. Board of Education, but in today's courts, lingering inequality is still being challenged. We talk with two civil rights attorneys Ted Shaw and Susan Goering.

Then, we talk with two filmmakers Joe Troppea and Skizz Cyzyk about their recent film, Hit and Stay, a documentary about the Catonsville nine.

And theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins us to tell us what she thinks about musical "American Idiot" at the Hippodrome.

The Maryland GOP elected a new chair last weekend. We ask Diana Waterman of the Eastern Shore about her plans for the party after a General Assembly session that was tough for Republicans.

UPDATE: April Fool's! Deerbeard--some of you who contacted us will be extremely happy to know--does not exist. It is the folly of Maryland Morning producers Lawrence Lanahan, Matt Purdy, and Jamyla Kay.

Tom Hall and the Baltimore Choral Arts Society had a long association with the iconic jazz legend, and he appeared as a guest on Choral Arts Classics and Maryland Morning on several occasions. We'll revisit one of those interviews, and hear some of Brubeck's beautiful choral music performed by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the Choral Arts Chorus & Orchestra. Tune into Choral Arts Classics Tuesday night, April 30 at 9:00.
