Sports can be so much more than just sports...

Talk about diverse programming...nowhere else but PBS...

Tavis Smiley Reports is a PBS special, delving into Martin Luther King's great 1967 speech about the war in Viet Nam. Tavis interviews Harry Belafonte, Cornel West, and Tony Bennet among others, as they examine not only the meaning of King's words, but their legacy...
this speech originally was given exactly one year prior to the assasination of Dr. King...7pm

American Masters profiles architect I.M. Pei, now in his 90's, as he remembers his student days in China, the Harvard education, and his career which brought us some of the major building designs of the last century...8pm

And then there's the legendary Bob Hurley Sr., considered by many as one of the best and most inspiring high school basketball coaches in America. We learn about his life long struggle to inspire and motivate those around him in order to support a poor, inner city Catholic high school in Jersey City. And his ability to motivate the kids going through that school to break the cycle of poverty through education. Not to be missed...Street Stops Here...9pm
