Replay: Supermarket Shooting Shines Light on Buffalo’s Legacy of Food Inequity
Original Air Date: May 18, 2022
The Buffalo shooting at TOPS Supermarket in Buffalo has had significant ramifications for a part of Buffalo’s East Side, a neighborhood which has historically struggled with food insecurity. TOPS is the lone supermarket in this part of Buffalo’s East Side, and following the attack it was closed for two months. We look back at how the city’s legacy of institutionalized racism and segregation have been responsible for dividing Buffalo in what today remains as the sixth-most racially segregated city in America and explore what that has meant for food access and inequities in the communities affected.
We hear from Allison DeHonney, Founder and CEO of Buffalo Go Green, and Craig Willingham, Managing Director for CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute.
