My guest and fellow JMU Duke, Dr. Melvin J Brown, superintendent of Reynoldsville, Ohio, joins the WYR show to start the new season. Melvin's journey to one of the highest positions in education is quite remarkable and somewhat unparalleled. Handpicked by his Superintendent to lead an elementary school without any prior educational leadership, Melvin skyrocketed to stardom. His journey is one steeped in the belief that no matter what you are faced with a strong belief in yourself will carry you through anything. In a place where the landscape has changed dramatically and the clientele looks drastically different than they did 50 years ago, Melvin is ensuring that every child gets what they need every day. That's his revolution.
