From escaping authoritarian China to raising the alarm bells about ICE - Jack Jones Artwork

The Missouri Line

My name is Carl Shepard and I am curious about the concept of "shared culture". Each of us defines our discipline or culture in a unique way.. This project is a spotlight designed to cast light on the diverse collage that is our shared culture in Missouri.. I plan to seek out exceptional Missourians of all types and ask them: "where do you draw the line?"

Having come to America at the age of 8. Being raised in Springfield, MO. Then coming to Columbia, MO for university where we originally met. Today's guest Jack Jones is highly concerned that America is facing a slow, yet steady, loss of freedoms and liberty. His current focus is on ICE. He has a huge amount of life experience and a perspective that is undeniably worth taking into consideration. This was my first digital episode, and the audio issue comes from accidently having two Mics recording at the same time. As always, I have learned from this, will do better next time, and appreciate everyone's support during these early episodes of this adventure.
