Now You're Talking with Marshall Ramsey

There’s a name synonymous here in the capital city and possibly the entire state, with not only great food, but also St. Patrick’s Day… just say Malcolm White and both are covered. Malcolm White is a restaurateur, promoter, food enthusiast, author of numerous articles about food in Mississippi, creator of award-winning recipes in the Southern genre and host of MPB Think Radio’s Deep South Dining. He formerly served as director of the Mississippi Arts Commission until he retired in 2020. He’s also the former owner of Hal & Mal’s restaurant in downtown Jackson and founder of the annual Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade. He is here to tell his story, his life growing up in Mississippi, projects that he’s passionate about, and of course St. Patrick’s Day! Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today’s Editor-At-Large. He’s also host of a "Now You're Talking" on MPB Think Radio and "Conversations" on MPB TV, and is the author of several books. Marshall is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and a 2019 recipient of the University of Tennessee Alumni Professional Achievement Award.  

Hailing from Oxford, David Crews not only has mastered the title of author, but to add to that equation, he’s a former U.S. Marshal and current U.S. District Court Clerk for the Northern District of Mississippi. Once calculated, the sum of all parts adds up to one heck of an adjective filled description that could begin with all-round, and end with versatile-individual who I have the pleasure of chatting with today. He’s here on special assignment to provide us with an episode of his quotations, with a behind the scenes-peek into the inspiration that fuels his publications and a look into his passion for our state and country.Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today’s Editor-At-Large.

This year’s Governor’s Arts Award for Excellence in Music was bestowed to none other than the legendary King Edward Antoine. A working musician for 67 years, King Edward has been a member of the Mississippi Arts Commission’s Artist Roster for 10 years, is a long-time member of the Central Mississippi Blues Society, is featured on three Mississippi Blues Trail makers and was also awarded a Peavey Award for his contribution to state’s musical legacy. He is here to tell his story, and I am honored to celebrate Mississippi’s authentic blues musician, King Edward Antoine. Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today’s Editor-At-Large.

Airing on MPBTV this Friday, February 17th at 7:30 p.m., the film “The Defenders: How Lawyers Protected the Movement,” showcases the bravery and determination of the state’s African-American lawyers during the Civil Rights movement and their front-line work to represent individuals who either were unjustly charged or imprisoned. Today, I have the honor of sitting down with the film’s Director & Writer, Roderick Red, Producer Liz Evans, and Producer & Writer, Sarah C. Campbell to discuss what inspired them to participate in the project and it’s importance and impact on today’s society.Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today’s Editor-At-Large.

There’s a lot of people that we have on this show that you know, but there are people that we feature that you NEED to know… My next guest is one of those people. Founder/CEO and Head Hopper at Yellow Rabbit PR & Marketing, a decorated journalist, editor, and columnist with 20 years of PR, Journalism, Marketing & Branding Mastery, Pamela Berry-Johnson is a fantastic storyteller with an incredible story to tell. On April 12th, 1996, the former reporter for the Clarion-Ledger newspaper, was shot three times by with random gunfire, by a white supremacist while covering the story in a largely black neighborhood. She is here to tell her story, her life growing up Mississippi, projects that she’s passionate about and why her experience with triumph after tragedy, is important to our state’s narrative. Marshall Ramsey, a nationally recognized, Emmy award winning editorial cartoonist, shares his cartoons and travels the state as Mississippi Today’s Editor-At-Large.
