Erich Ludwig on Greater Somerville

Last Thursday, I went on Greater Somerville with the neighborhood activist and local media personality Joe Lynch and co-host KyAnn Anderson. It was a fun time, but you can judge for yourself below. Some links below the video (which should appear below, but if not you can go here to watch :: http://greatersomerville.wordpress.com/). Also, go to the Greater Somerville page and leave a comment. 🙂

Also – one correction – this year is the 50 year anniversary of Mali’s Independence (not 40 as I said on the air – oops, bad math!)!!
