Joe Miller on NPR today

October 31, 2006 | 3 Comments

Local journalist, author, and blogger Joe Miller’s book is in stores now.  Cross-X is his story of the debate team at Central High School and their domination of white suburban opponents all over the land.  I can’t endorse the book yet, but hope to read it very soon.  Joe will be on NPR’s All Things Considered today at 2:00 p.m. His book tour stops in KC on November 7 and December 7.

    Talk of the Nation, October 31, 2006 · At Kansas City’s Central High, a school where 2/3 never graduate, the debate team took on racism and elitism, and beat some top-ranked, and much wealthier, schools. Writer Joe Miller talks about the team and how he wound up joining it.

    Since the acronyms got mixed up… probably meant TOTN, Talk of the Nation.

    Joe will join Steve Kraske on KCUR’s Up to Date next Tuesday November 7th at 11 a.m. before his Rainy Day Books signing that evening.
