Alex here, senior producer on the evening shift today. 

There are plenty of big stories on tap for our Martin Luther King day show. The biggest story: We are deepening our ongoing coverage of the earthquake in Haiti. Tomorrow we'll bring you some specific personal stories that we think paint the larger picture of how average Haitians are scrambling to survive. We have two Haitian-Americans coming into our WNYC studio who were in Port-au-Prince during the eathquake visiting relatives and then turned their half-crumbled home into an impromptu medical center. Amid these tales of shoestring survival, we'll also try to sort out why it's been so hard to get official aid distributed. Interesting fact I just learned: for many people Blackberrys (or is it Blackberries?) seem to be working far better than other lines of communication. 

Throughout the show we'll hear vignettes from civil rights activists honoring MLK with thoughts on the future progress of the work he started.

We're also following the special election in Massachusetts for Edward Kennedy's old Senate seat. We want to know how Democrat Martha Coakley came to be in a dead heat after leading by double digits in the polls not too long ago. Will Massachusetts, the bluest of blue states, turn purple? 

For music lovers, movie fans and history buffs, the highlight tomorrow might be an audio packed interview we've lined up with Danny Glover and another of the producers of a new film, 'Soundtrack to a Revolution.' Hear how contemporary artists are re-recording classic civil rights anthems. 

Plus we'll recap the Golden Globes, the upsets and upstarts in the NFL playoffs and hear from a woman who fought the IRS and won.
