For this bonus episode, we’re going to step outside of Columbia to speak with brothers Mike and Tim Jackman.

Mike is a pastor at Second Baptist Church in Slater, Missouri, and works for the United States Postal Service. Tim is CEO of an insurance company and coordinated the last Juneteenth celebration in Fayette. The brothers both grew up in Fayette and have watched it change drastically over the years.

They spoke with KBIA's Emma Boyle by Zoom about their upbringing in Fayette and their childhood memories of living in small-town Missouri.
