Clips included from the intro to Show Me the Franklins! Remembering the Ancestors, Slavery and Benjamin Franklin and from Sister Friend Jam Session performed by Vanessa Ballard, Dr. Amanda Kemp, and Deborah Billups.

I found myself laughing and listening intently to the artists interviewed. Obviously a close knit group. Great Questions, Mark.
