This weekend's seventh annual Urban Education Symposium aims to help First Coast teachers more effectively teach young African-American males. We speak with symposium organizers Cleve Warren and Dr. Barbara Darby about their efforts to close the achievement gap for this group.

Then Cindy Williams, director of UF Health North's Birth Center, joins us to discuss Jacksonville's newest medical facility.

We also recap some of the most interesting commercials to come out of last night's Super Bowl with Pat McKinney, Chief Creative Officer, and Jeremy Nettles, VP of Social Media, of Jacksonville's Dalton Agency.

And Cole Pepper drops by to discuss the New England Patriots' victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, as well as local sports news.

Sean Birch joined the WJCT team in late 2011 and was with the company until 2016.
