12-02-2024 • 13 mins

In this episode, we explore the rich heritage of Glasgow by delving into the remarkable life of Luska J. Twyman - the first Black Mayor in Kentucky, and one of the first in the US.

Our special guest for the day is none other than Mr. William Twyman, an accomplished educator, and cousin to Luska Twyman. William shares about Luska’s significant contributions as an educator, leader, and community unifier. Together we explore the impact Twyman had on desegregating Glasgow's schools and recognizing the legacy as a pioneering figure during the Black History Month.

Luska was known for his unique ability to bring people together, despite the differences and created a harmonious community that the city of Glasgow is truly proud of. We look back at some memorable moments with Luska, from family reunions to his term as Mayor, and how his influence still lingers to this day.

Join us in honoring and reliving the inspiring journey of Luska Twyman; a man whose life stands as a beacon of tolerance, unity, and progress.
