From Mark Hughes:

Systemic racism adversely impacts the health and wellness of Black folks, places at risk our economic development and the social health and wellness of everyone, and threatens our democracy. The Richard Kemp Center was created to center the needs of the Black community in rectifying racial inequity by serving as a cultural broker in the expanding but historically ineffective, inefficient, and nonexistent programs and services to marginalized communities. It is the legacy-maker at the intersection of the Black community’s wellness, culture.

Host Mark Hughes is joined by guest Christine Hughes from the Richard Kemp Center.

Housing in Vermont is becoming more expensive and harder to find than ever before. Why is that? UVM student Waseya Lawton sits down with State Senator and professor at the UVM Grossman School of Business, Thomas Chittenden, to find out why.
