At a bus stop in downtown Newark in 2003, a queer teenager’s life was lost in a homicide that should have rocked the nation. Why did that not happen? By exploring who Sakia Gunn was in life, we take an in-depth look at why her story matters so much 20 years later.

This is the first episode of "After Broad and Market," a co-production of LWC Studios and Chasing the Dream, a public media initiative from The WNET Group.

Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America is a multiplatform public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York reporting on poverty, justice, and economic opportunity, and showcasing promising solutions. The initiative's goal is to better inform using facts that go beyond personal biases, media narratives, and presumptions about the American Dream.

Major funding for Chasing the Dream is provided by The JPB Foundation with additional funding from Sue and Edgar Wachenheim, III.
