Athens News Matters: A Historical Perspective on Today's Civil Unrest

Jim Cobb, Athens News Matters' resident historian, joins Alexia Ridley to give us some historical perspective on the protests of the last 10 days, and whether there is a historical parallel with 1968.  

Alexia Ridley joined WUGA as Television and Radio News Anchor and Reporter in 2013. When WUGA TV concluded operations, she became the primary Reporter for WUGA Radio. Alexia came to Athens from Macon where she served as the News Director and show host for WGXA TV. She's a career journalist and Savannah native hailing from the University of Michigan. However, Alexia considers herself an honorary UGA DAWG!
