First Of All with Victor Blackwell

A Warning From Black Women on Rising Unemployment

Listen Later

The August jobs report reveals that a growing number of Americans are unemployed. The rate is highest among Black workers, and a disproportionate number are Black women. Victor discusses the new jobs data with the Co-founder of Black Voters Matter, LaTosha Brown, conservative Stephanie Donegan and Capital B National Editor Dalila Paul.Plus – Victor speaks with Dr. Jerome Adams. He served as the U.S. Surgeon General during President Trump’s first term and the Covid pandemic. Dr. Adams tells Victor the President should “absolutely” fire current Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and explains his concerns for public health, especially among communities of color, under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership. Later, Victor shares the story of a town in Louisiana struggling to clean up after an explosion at a factory nearby. Victor speaks with Capital B reporter Adam Mahoney, who recently visited Roseland and spoke with residents there. And our “I See You!” series is back. Victor meets Donna Carol, who is introducing teen girls in Memphis to the business of hair braiding through “Teens Slay U”.
