“A More Perfect Union" Hour 2 with Nii-Quartelai Quartey | @drniiquartelai| Podcast
Hosted by changemaker, journalist, educator, and KBLA Talk 1580 Chief National Political Analyst Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey, “A More Perfect Union” promises to deliver national news of consequence, informed opinion, and analysis beyond the headlines. This hour features highlights from a special conversation with the U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg about how he’s adjusting to Washington, how he’s centering racial equity in some historic work underway in the U.S. Department of Transportation amidst woke attacks, and why he thinks this is the best time EVER to be U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Then during our Changemakers Roundtable listen to our conversation with People’s Advocacy Institute Executive Director Rukia Lumumba, the activist sister of Jackson Mississippi Mayor Chokwe Lumumba. Listen to her on-the-ground perspective about the unchecked racism and willful neglect that continues to create harm in Jackson, don’t miss her cautious comparison of the Flint water crisis to the Jackson Mississippi water crisis, and hear her personal yet pointed message to the Biden-Harris Administration.
