WXDU News, Sports, and Information Tonight (7/5) 6:00-8:00

Close out your holiday weekend with WXDU!

We get started tonight at 6:00 with the latest installment of the Endless Frontier, WXDU's own science news program hosted and produced by Duke University graduate students.

Then at 6:30, learn more about the origins of the Fourth of July with BackStory with the American History Guys. In "Independence Daze: A History of July Fourth," Peter, Brian and Ed take a look at this annual celebration of patriotism. The guys explore the original intent of the holiday and how it's changed over the years, as well as its impact on enslaved people and their decendants.

Finally, Martin Kang has WXDU Sports at 7:30. On tonight's show, Martin covers off-season sports, including Duke players in the NBA draft, non-conference play for Duke's men's and women's basketball teams, Duke's final rankings in the 2015 Director's Cup standings and which Duke student-athletes received All-ACC or CSCAA Scholar All-Academic honors this year. Then he'll play the conclusion to "Tamales for the Derby," a piece produced by the Southern Foodways Alliance that shares the stories of the immigrant workers behind the scenes at some of the most famous horse races.
