Watch KFTC's Voting Rights Work Tonight on PBS

From KFTC:

(This) evening, May 21st KFTC's voting rights work will be broadcast nationally on PBS as part of the Constitution USA series.

From PBS.org:

CONSTITUTION USA, a production of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning team of National Productions and Insignia Films, is hosted by Peter Sagal, the smart, sharp-witted star of NPR’s popular Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!. Over the course of the four-hour series, Sagal hits the road, travelling cross country on a customized red, white and blue Harley-Davidson, to find out where the Constitution lives, how it works, and how it unites us as a nation. From New York to San Francisco, from Missoula, Montana to Tyler, Texas, Sagal visits dozens of cities and small towns across America introducing viewers to some of today’s major constitutional debates—free speech in the digital age, same-sex marriage, voting rights, separation of church and state, presidential power in the post-9/11 world, to name just a few—and the fascinating stories of the people they affect every day.
(Tonight's) episode, entitled "Created Equal", will include a segment on voting rights for former felons and will include footage from one our Singing For Democracy Gospel Festivals and interviews with KFTC leader Tayna Fogle and others. The episode will air at 9 p.m. on KET, and it will be available for viewing after the broadcast on the Constitution USA website.

We're excited to see our work and our stories reaching a national audience.
 
We've not yet gotten to see any footage of the episode, but we encourage you all to tune in tomorrow evening to watch it with us!
