Voters cast their ballots for the Florida presidential primary on March 17, 2020, in Bonita Springs.

With just 20 days until the Nov. 5 presidential election, First Coast political expert and local government attorney Chris Hand unpacks his voter toolkit. He reviews key contests, explains the different ways to cast a ballot and explodes myths that could discourage some from voting.

Then, a powerful new performance at Lumen Repertory Theatre of Greater Jacksonville tells the story of four women active during 1960s civil rights protests in Virginia. Cadillac Crew highlights the often-overlooked role of Black women in the movement.

Guests:

  • Victoria Mapayi, Cadillac Crew dramaturg.
  • Zonetta Marie Thomas, actress portraying Dee and Patrisse.
  • Brian Niece, Lumen Repertory Theatre artistic director.

And, a parade of ghouls takes to the streets of Murray Hill for the eclectic neighborhood’s annual Murray Hilloween celebration.
