New County Cable Show Focuses on African American Community in Montgomery County

Montgomery County’s Office of Public Information (PIO) will launch its newest show, “Mosaic: An African American Perspective,” on County Cable Montgomery on Monday, April 23, at 1:30 and 9:30 p.m.

The 30-minute show, which will be produced monthly, is hosted by Deborah Milo and will feature a different topic each month. The flagship show focuses on the life and legacy of the late Roscoe Nix, a civil rights leader, NAACP president, and past member of the Montgomery County Board of Education. Special guests Odessa Shannon, Ruby Rubens and Dr. Paul Vance discuss their personal memories of Nix and his legacy of leadership as a fearless and tireless advocate for educational excellence and social, economic and political justice.

Future episodes will focus on the Office of Human Rights’ annual civil rights bus tour and interviews with African American leaders in the community.

“Mosaic: An African American Perspective” can be seen on Channel 6 on the Comcast and RCN cable systems and Channel 30 on Verizon. For a schedule of show times or to view it online, visit the County’s homepage at www.montgomerycountymd.gov, click on County Cable 6, and go to Schedules and/or Programs, or watch on YouTube.
