Author Nadine Cohodas will be the guest on the May "Conversations from St. Norbert College" television show hosted by Kevin Quinn. They will discuss Cohodas's books and her life experiences.

Cohodas, who grew up in Appleton, Wis., has written several books about race, politics and music, including "Princess Noire: The Tumultuous Reign of Nina Simone" and "Queen: The Life and Music of Dinah Washington." Simone and Washington were both prominent African-American singers in the mid-20th century. Cohodas' talk, "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," focuses on how Washington and Simone's musical talents reflected the civil rights movement.
