Top Stories: Working To Overhaul The U.S. Constitution; Monday Trade Days In Canton

Christopher Connelly / KERA News
Mark Meckler, who co-founded the Convention of States project, told a crowd in Fort Worth that the only way to fix the federal government is to amend the constitution.

The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News: We're just weeks away from picking a new president and congress, but for about a hundred Texans who gathered in a north Fort Worth church last night, that's nowhere near enough change. KERA’s Christopher Connelly has more on an effort underway to organize changes to the constitution.

Other stories this afternoon:

  • Each month, artists from around the country gather in Canton. The city’s about an hour east from Dallas and hosts the First Monday Trade Days. Intern Javier Giribet traveled to Canton to learn about a tradition that has been around for over a century and a half.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
