And then we’re starting our tour tomorrow night at Butler University in Indianapolis, going to colleges and universities for the next week or two, trying to get young people engaged on this very issue of making poverty a priority in the nation. AFutureWithoutPoverty.com is where you can get all the details.

AMY GOODMAN: Tavis Smiley, I want to thank you for being with us, a television/radio broadcaster on public television and radio,  New York Times best-selling author. Tonight at George Washington University, a summit on poverty.

That does it for our show. On Monday, we’ll be broadcasting live from the capital on Martin Luther King Day and the inauguration. We’ll be broadcasting from 8:00 Eastern Standard Time, our regular start time for  Democracy Now!, right through 1:00, broadcasting the inaugural ceremonies and bringing in different voices from all over this country. Check out democracynow.org.

Juan Gonzalez is the co-host of the nationally syndicated radio news program, Democracy Now!.

With his late night television talk show, Tavis Smiley on PBS, and his radio show The Tavis Smiley Show from NPR, Smiley was the first American ever to simultaneously host signature talk shows on both PBS and National Public Radio.
