UPDATE 6:45 p.m.

Alex Goldmark here with the evening update as the sun sets and the news settles in. 

As the day rolled on we began to see more and more fertile ground for great conversation in the legacies of historic events (see original post below re: Mariel Boat lift and Dorothy Height). So we will explore how younger generations take lessons from the legacies of these past events. How soon is history forgotten and how does it live on in ways we don't always recognize. 

Another note on legacy, groundbreaking old school MC Guru died on Monday. We'll examine Guru's influence on hip hop (and Jazz)with Tricia Rose. 

And our partners WGBH along with The Christian Science Monitor have completed an investigative report on carbon offset programs. If you pay a company to plant a tree for you to offset the pollution caused by your lifestyle, you might want to tune in and hear how some offsetting operations aren't what they claim. 

And as Louise Story continues her downright outstanding investigative reporting on the suspect dealings at Goldman Sachs for our partner The New York Times and joins us tomorrow to discuss Goldman's earnings and its reaction to allegations of fraud. Good, hard news times as always, on The Takeaway. 

POSTED 12:00 p.m.

Anna Sale here on the day shift.

We learned early this morning about the death of Dorothy Height, the chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women, who worked alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. This comes just days after the passing of Benjamin Hooks, the longtime leader of the NAACP. It got us thinking this morning about what's lost with the deaths of eyewitnesses to social movements. We're reaching out to some that remain to hear what lessons or moments they want captured in a time capsule for future generations. And we'd like your help to start the conversation: With the passing of civil rights leaders in any social movement — civil rights, gay rights, feminist – Do younger people appreciate the way things used to be, or do they take the accomplishments for granted? And is taking things for granted a good thing; is it a sign of real progress?

This week also marks thirty years since the Mariel boatlift in South Florida, which brought 125,000 Cubans to the shores of South Florida. Takeaway station WLRN is marking the anniversary with a series of reports with The Miami Herald. We're reaching out to eyewitnesses to this historic event to hear their memories of that trip, their first impressions of South Florida, and how their arrival changed the culture around Miami.

We're also following the finance news in Washington and Wall Street today. With Goldman Sachs earnings out this morning and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner testifying in Congress today, we're monitoring who is saying what about the prospects for the financial regulation bill.

Finally, with springtime comes the sweetness of strawberry season. They're especially cheap at the grocery store right now because of favorable weather this year. The Florida Strawberry Queen, Lauren Der, will join us to share some of her favorite recipes and tell us what it was like to grow up in the strawberry capital of America.
