William Morris is the new Friday host of WFIU’s weekday afternoon jazz program Just You and Me. He fills the slot that Joe Bourne held until the end of 2014. Morris comes to us after having spent five years volunteering at Bloomington’s community radio station WFHB, where he hosted such programs as the Tuesday Afternoon Music Mix, Hora Latina, The Jazz Menagerie, and the news program Interchange. A part-time staff attorney at Indiana Legal Services, Morris is also developing a private practice that concentrates on civil rights and employment discrimination. Morris was raised in South Bend, Indiana and in the Newark, New Jersey neighborhood where The Sopranos was later filmed. “Newark was full of great music,” he recalls, “especially jazz—Sarah Vaughan, Woody Shaw, Stanley Turrentine, Grover Washington, and others, and my musical acumen really took off there.” For Just You and Me, Morris plans on creating what he calls a “soul mix.” “An upbeat end-of-the-week show built on a foundation of funky jazz, cool R&B, and a pinch here and there of other toe-tapping music from other genres.”

Morris credits his Aunt Gladys and Uncle Gene with sparking his interest in jazz. “They had a very extensive jazz collection, going back to Artie Shaw and others on 78s.” “We’d often play pool and listen to music in their basement, and whenever something came on that caught Uncle Gene’s ear, he’d stop, close his eyes and say, ‘Billy, now that is music!’ And, to this day, when I hear something good on the radio, I close my eyes, and in a manner reminiscent of Uncle Gene, I say ‘Man oh man, that is music!’” One of his favorite songs is Barry White’s “Let the Music Play.” “It reminds me of how often music has gotten me through tough times in life.” Morris cites as his biggest influence his father, William R. Morris, Sr. “He was a Tuskegee Airman and national housing director for the NAACP. He embedded values in me about hard work and commitment.” Join William Morris on Just You and Me each Friday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on WFIU HD1.

February 22 – Race and Class in Indiana This special edition of Profiles explores the intersections of race and class, specifically as they pertain to life in southcentral Indiana. Topics include: the often underestimated and ignored undercurrents of racial tension in Bloomington’s history as shown in a segment on the Black Market fire with community elder Betty Bridgwaters; how IU professor Jacinda Townsend worked to create “whole” black characters in her novel, which depicts life in civil rights-era northeastern Kentucky; and a conversation with producer Leah Johnson’s grandmother on what it was like growing up below the Mason-Dixon line before black people were given the right to vote.

1 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Talking to Machines This hour of Radiolab, we meet humans and robots who are trying to connect, and blur the line. We begin with a man who unwittingly fell in love with a chatbot. Then, we encounter a robot therapist whose inventor eventually pulled the plug. And we talk to the man who coded Cleverbot, a software program that learns from every new conversation it has. Next, five intrepid kids help us test a hypothesis about a toy designed to push our buttons. Lastly, we meet a robot whose creators hope will one day have a consciousness. 12:00 PM PROFILES Photographer Carolyn Jones

José Antonio Echeverría (center in white shirt) and students carrying Cuban flag
Scholar Lillian Guerra of Yale and Florida State University explains: “It is as if we told the tale of the American Revolution as solely Washington’s story, leaving out Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, and others.” New scholarship challenges the prevailing view—in part manufactured and perpetuated by Che Guevara—that Castro’s army of 200 guerillas single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of Batista’s professional soldiers and liberated the people of Cuba. In fact, País and Echeverría’s city-based insurgencies held the key to generating popular support for resistance and undermining the authority of Batista and his secret police. Both País and Echeverría rivaled Castro in popularity and power during the height of the Revolution yet neither man lived to see the movement succeed. The film highlights the complexities inherent in revolutions and examines the shaping and reshaping of the final historical record. After Castro assumed power in 1959, he harnessed the power of the emerging medium of television to advance a narrative that effectively expunged País and Echeverría from Cuban history.
WFIU depends upon regular membership contributions for its existence. But in the long run our future will depend more and more on individuals who have named WFIU in their will, living trust, life insurance, or retirement plan. To recognize those who have left a legacy gift, we’ve created the Limestone Legacy Society. The Limestone Legacy Society is made up of community members who have included us in their estate planning, and have given us permission to publicly acknowledge their support. Legacy gifts come in a wide range of levels and vehicles—from a $1,000 bequest in a will or 10% of a retirement plan, or a sixfigure gift. You can make an “unrestricted” gift intended to help the station achieve its everyday goals, or you could add to our existing endowment funds supporting news, jazz, or classical music. A gift in your will allows you to make a lasting contribution without affecting your daily financial security and freedom. If you decide to include a planned gift to WFIU, we encourage you to let us know about your decision. Notifying WFIU of your intent will allow us to work with you to complete a gift agreement, ensure that there are no questions as to how your gift will be used, and allow us to recognize your generosity, and include you in our recognition program, if you wish. Would you like to receive a free, no-obligation booklet to help prepare your estate plan? E-mail plannedgiving@ indianapublicmedia.org and request a copy of the Personal and Charitable Financial Record. Learn more at WFIU.org/ support. Or contact Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer, at 812-855-2935 or at nkrueger@ indiana.edu, or consult with your attorney.
